The display can be in mA or set to display mass and output mA. Note : The CALOG-LC II is not suitable for AC or square wave pulse amplifiers. Excitation volts and millivolts are measured and sourced in DC only.
Operating Manual - Load Cell Calibrator Getting Started 2.0 Getting Started 2.1 Keypad Information sheet Pantone: Embossing: Finished look These keys change the desired output and are used to Black set values in the menu. 60% Black Used to change sub menu options. Pantone 298 Used to step up or down in the main and submenus.
Getting Started 2.3 Safety Your calibrator is not suitable for use in explosive atmospheres. Sparks at the terminals could cause ignition. Test leads with 4mm safety terminals are supplied with the unit Electric shock injury may result from improper use while connected to the mains power supply.
Wiring Schematics 4.0 Wiring Schematics This section shows examples of wiring configurations. These are also found in the Help Menu. 4.1 Test Loadcell and LC Display From one load cell. For a 4-wire se terminals 2 to 5(no links) . For a 6-wire use terminals 1 to 6.
Operating Manual - Load Cell Calibrator Wiring Schematics Example: Weighing System Measurement Used for measuring load cell output millivolts from existing operating systems. Connect mV measure from the calibrator to load cell output and display mV. For mass display also measure excitation voltage (on sense terminals) or set a value for excitation with mV/V and units in the mA&mass submenu.
Wiring Schematics 4.5 Source Milliamps 0 to 24.000mA • Used to send milliamp signal to control room or to test or calibrate mA input devices. • In source mA mode the milliamp output changes from measure mA to source mA with 24V DC driving voltage.

Operating Manual - Load Cell Calibrator Maintenance 16.0 Maintenance 16.1 Opening your Calibrator There are a few cases in which you may have to open your calibrator. 1. To change the battery pack. 2. To change the fuse. In order to open it, place it face down on a flat, hard surface and unscrew the four screws as shown.
Maintenance 16.5 Battery Care Your calibrator is powered by rechargeable Lithium Ion batteries. 1. The batteries can be recharged hundreds of times but will eventually fail. 2. Only use dealer approved batteries that contain a temperature sensor. 3. Do not store your calibrator in extreme heat, above 50°C as the batteries may become unstable and rupture.
