Thank you for purchasing a DINI ARGEO product. This manual contains all the instructions for a correct installation and commissioning of the high speed DGT1SP digital weight transmitter. While thanking you for purchasing this product, we would like to draw your attention to some aspects of this manual.
Transmitter installation Installation requirements Observe the following conditions for correct installation of the transmitter and of the load receiver: • Flat, level support surface. • Stability and absence of vibrations. • Absence of aggressive dusts and vapours. • Absence of draughts. •...
Electrical precautions • Use a regulated mains supply within ± 10% of the rated voltage. • The electrical protections (fuses, etc.) are the responsibility of the installer. • Observe the recommended minimum distances between cables of different categories (see table on page 10). •...

Earthing of the system For correct earthing and optimal system operation, the transmitter, load cells, junction box, if any, and weighing structure must be earthed. TRANSMITTER The earth connection must be made via the appropriate terminal. The cable cross-section must be less than 2.5 mm LOAD CELLS AND JUNCTION BOX The connection must be made by connecting the earth cables to the earth bar (cables that must have a cross-section of at least 16 mm finally, connect the earth bar to the earth post with a cable having a cross-section of at least 50 mm...

Load cell installation After carrying out the instructions for the platform or load receiver, the shielded cable from the cell must be properly connected to the terminal block of the transmitter (see section “Wiring diagrams”). The transmitter has one channel for 6-wire connection to load cells (using the REFERENCE). The REFERENCE allows you to compensate for any voltage drop on the section of cable connecting the transmitter to the load receiver.

Anti-peak filter The transmitter has an additional filter for the elimination of sudden weight peaks (e.g. shocks or falling material). The following parameters, opportunely configured, allow you to eliminate the peak by blocking the weight for its entire duration. The weight is blocked if it remains within the number of divisions set in PK.LK.DV for the time set in PK.LK.TM and is subsequently unblocked if the weight deviates from the blocking value for a number of divisions greater than PK.DIV (or PK.BN.DV) or if the time set in PK.TIME has elapsed.
