CONNECTING SEVERAL CELLS IN PARALLEL: Connect several cells in parallel by using - if necessary - a watertight junction box with terminal box. The cell connection extension cables must be shielded, led individually into their piping or conduit and laid as far as possible from the power cables (in case of 4-wire connections, use cables with 4x1 mm minimum cross-section).
LOAD CELL INPUT TEST (QUICK ACCESS) From the weight display, press ▲ for 3 seconds; the response signal of the load cells is displayed, expressed in mV with four decimals. LOAD CELL TESTING Load cell resistance measurement (use a digital multimeter): - Disconnect the load cells from the instrument and check that there is no moisture in the cell junction box caused by condensation or water infiltration.
Two serial ports (RS485 and RS232) for connection to: PC/PLC up to 32 instruments (max 99 with line repeaters) by ASCII Laumas or ModBus R.T.U. protocol, remote display, printer, RD data recorder. Switching power supply plug 24 V 450 mA, input 100÷240 VAC, 3 meters long cable (included)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BASIC INFORMATION - It is recommended that the power supply negative pole be grounded. - It is possible to supply up to eight 350 ohm load cells or sixteen 700 ohm load cells. - For 4-wire load cells, make a jumper between EX- and REF- and between EX+ and REF+. - Connect terminal “–...

INSTRUMENT COMMISSIONING To turn on the instrument press ON. To turn it off press OFF for about 3 seconds: when appears release the key. After a blackout the instrument DOES NOT come on again automatically, you have to press ON. To guarantee an automatic restart after a blackout, disable the ON key (see section AFTER A BLACKOUT).
PROGRAMMING OF SYSTEM PARAMETERS From the weight display, press simultaneously keys MENU and ESC to access the parameter setting. MENU/ENTER: to enter a menu/confirm the data entry. ▲: to modify the displayed figure or menu item. ◄: to select a new figure or modify the displayed menu item. ESC: to cancel and return to the previous menu.
MAXIMUM CAPACITY : Maximum displayable weight (from 0 to max full scale; default: 0). When the weight exceeds this value by 9 divisions, the display shows . To disable this function, set 0. TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING ...
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS) After having performed the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION and TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING, this function allows correct calibration to be done using sample weights of known value and, if necessary, any deviations of the indicated value from the correct value to be corrected.
FILTER ON THE WEIGHT Setting this parameter allows a stable weight display to be obtained. To increase the effect (weight more stable) increase the value (from 0 to 9, default 4). As seen in the diagram: - By confirming the message, the currently programmed filter value is displayed. - By changing and confirming the value, the weight is displayed and it will be possible to experimentally verify its stability.
ZERO PARAMETERS RESETTABLE WEIGHT SETTING FOR SMALL WEIGHT CHANGES (from 0 to max full scale; default: 300; considered decimals: 300 – 30.0 – 3.00 – 0.300): this parameter indicates the maximum weight value resettable by external contact, keypad or serial protocol.
SETTING UNITS OF MEASURE These are the available units of measure: kilograms : grams : : tons pounds* : : newtons* litres* : bars* : atmospheres* : pieces* : : newton metres* : kilogram metres* other generic units of measure not included in the list* : If the print function is enabled, the symbol corresponding to the selected unit of measure will be printed after the measured value.
Page 22
If the unit of measure chosen is: : pounds, the value set in will be multiplied by the weight value currently displayed; : newton, the value set in will be multiplied by the weight value currently displayed; : litres, in set the specific weight in kg/l, assuming that the system is calibrated in kg; : bar, the value set in ...
OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION OUTPUTS The outputs are set by default as follows: / / / / . Possible operation modes: - (normally open): the relay is de-energised and the contact is open when the weight is lower than the programmed setpoint value;...
INPUTS Default: input 1 = input 2 = Possible operation modes: - (NET/GROSS): by closing this input for no more than one second, it’s making an operation of SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE and the display will show the net weight. To display the gross weight again, hold the NET/GROSS input closed for 3 seconds....
PRESET TARE (SUBTRACTIVE TARE DEVICE) It is possible to manually set a preset tare value to be subtracted from the display value provided that the ≤ max capacity condition is verified. By default the instrument shows the last programmed preset tare value: to apply it press ▲ and then ENTER.
PEAK By keeping the PEAK input closed the maximum weight value reached remains displayed. By opening the input the current weight is displayed. If you wish to use this input to view a sudden variation peak, set the FILTER ON THE WEIGHT to 0.

When the remote display is set to gross weight: - if the instrument displays the gross weight, the remote display shows the gross weight. - if the instrument shows the net weight, the remote display shows the net weight alternated with the message .

TEST - Input Test: : ensure that for each open input is displayed, is displayed when the input is closed. - Output Test: : setting ensure that the corresponding output opens. Setting ensure that the corresponding output closes.
SETPOINT PROGRAMMING From the weight display, press MENU to access the setpoint setting. MENU/ENTER: to enter a menu/confirm the data entry. ▲: to modify the displayed figure or menu item. ◄: to select a new figure or modify the displayed menu item. ESC: to cancel and return to the previous menu.
PIECE COUNTER Weight has to be set to zero before selecting operation type. INCREASING OPERATION - Load the empty container on the scale; - press TARE to display zero (net weight); - press START, select and confirm with ENTER, appears on the display; - insert sample pieces in the container and press ENTER;...
In piece counter mode you can: - set weight to zero for small variations (press and confirm with ENTER); - set semi-automatic tare (press TARE); - do a new sampling (press START for 3 seconds, appears, press ENTER, set number of pieces on scale and confirm with ENTER);...

Press PRINT to store and print weight values and number of weighing (), see section PRINTING EXAMPLES. If an input is configured as , closing that input gives you the same functions as if you had pressed PRINT. TOTALIZATION NOTES: the weight is only totalized and printed if not 0; if the instrument is metric the weight has to satisfy metric conditions (stabled weight and equal to at least 20 divisions) whatever the settings selected.
ENABLING SETPOINT Setpoint can be used to signal that totalized partial weight and total weight have been reached; do the following to enable them: -(default): setpoint disabled; -: setpoint enabled; Setpoint 1 and 2 switch respectively based on totalized partial weight and total weight, while the others always switch on weight.
ALARMS : the load cell is not connected or is incorrectly connected; the load cell signal exceeds 39 mV; the conversion electronics (AD converter) is malfunctioning; the load cell is a 4- wire and there are no jumpers between EX- and REF- and between EX+ and REF+. the weight display exceeds 110% of the full scale.
