2. 2. 2. 2. Introduction Introduction Introduction Introduction The AD-4407 is a weighing indicator that amplifies signals from a load cell, converts it to digital data and displays it as a mass value. This indicator has the following performance: Input sensitivity: ......0.25 mV /division. Maximum display: ......
3. 3. 3. 3. Installation and Precautions Installation and Precautions Installation and Precautions Installation and Precautions 3.1.1. Installation and Precautions The weighing indicator is a precision electronic instrument. Handle it carefully. The operating temperature is -10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F). Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.
3.1.3. Adjustment of the Load Cell Output Caution Use a metal film resistor in the range of 50kohm to 500kohm with a good temperature coefficient, when adding a resistor to adjust a load cell output. Use as large of a resistance value as possible in the range in which the zero adjustment is possible.
3.1.5. Installing an Option board Caution Do not remove any screws without the following step. This is the procedure for the data output board (OP-03, OP-05, OP-07 and OP-08). Step 1 Remove the power cord from the AC power source. Step 2 Remove eight hex bolts (one of them is the sealing bolt) from the rear panel.
