When the Cardinal 225 weighing scale monitor indicates "ANALOG LOW," it means the load cell input is below the allowed range of the indicator. This could be caused by improper load cell wiring or a load cell or circuit failure. The corrective actions are to check the wiring and ensure the load cell output is between 1 to 40 mV, or consult your scale service provider.

PRECAUTIONS Static Electricity CAUTION! This device contains static sensitive circuit cards and components. Improper handling of these devices or printed circuit cards can result in damage to or destruction of the component or card. Such actual and/or consequential damage IS NOT covered under warranty and is the responsibility of the device owner.
Page 10: Site Preparation
SITE PREPARATION Environmental The Model 225 Weight Indicator meets or exceeds all certification requirements within a temperature range of 14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C). In order to keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the indicator should be placed out of direct sunlight and to provide adequate air circulation, keep the area around the indicator clear.
Page 11: Electrical Power
SITE PREPARATION, CONT. The Model 225 Weight Indicator is a precision weight-measuring instrument. As with any precision instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at its peak performance and reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment. Electrical Power The 225 has been designed to operate from 90 to 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
Page 12: Installation
INSTALLATION Before beginning installation of your Model 225 Weight Indicator, make certain that it has been received in good condition. Carefully remove it from the shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches) that may have taken place during shipment.

Failure to do so will result in permanent damage to the indicator. (Serial, (Serial, Isolated Isolated Inputs or Inputs or Outputs)
Page 14 INSTALLATION, CONT. 4. With the load cell cable routed into the enclosure, refer to Figure No. 4 and then remove approximately 5 to 6 inches of the cable outer insulating jacket exposing the internal wires. 5. Next, cut the shield wire so that it extends past the outer jacket approximately 3/4 inch. 6.
Page 15 INSTALLATION, CONT. 9. Repeat the procedure until all wires are in place. 10. After all terminations have been made, remove the excess cable from the enclosure. 11. Referring to Figure No. 6, fold the shield wire back over the plastic insert and then insert the plastic insert (with the shield wire) into the gland connector.
