  • Page 6 General Description The MAXI-INT2 Series of meters accept industrial sensors to allow various physical measurements to be made, such a weight, temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Different models are available for different sensor types. The main function of the INT2 series is to give a numeric readout of the variable being monitored.

  • Page 8 Wiring Advice This meter uses detachable screw terminal connectors. Refer to the wiring diagram on the following page for the correct positioning of each wire. The conductors you use must be suitable for the meter’s temperature, current and voltage rating, which is broadly described as follows:- Cable Temperature Rating All cables must be rated for operation up to 90C continuous.

  • Page 11 Drift cancellation (Not on INT2-C, INT2-S) drift 1 If your meter will normally be showing 0, for example a platform scale, you can set the meter to continually cancel any long term drift. To do this, set Drift 1. This only operates at and around zero reading. The meter will compares readings to previous ones every 30 seconds, and if the value has changed by a small amount, the meter will aoutomatically re-zero.

Switch Cal Lock to ON after changing Set your calibration method to THEORETICAL - see previous pages As an example, let us assume we want to calibrate the display for a loadcell input. Let us also assume that we know from the calibration sheet which came with the loadcell, that it has a sensitivity of 0 to 2.2451mV/V and a rated capacity of 0 to 5000kg The Display generates 10 V of excitation for the loadcell.
