WARNING DEFINITIONS The warnings described in this manual have the following meanings: A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to the instrument . This symbol indicates caution against electrical shock.
Do not use the indicator in places where flammable gases are present. Indicator overheat To prevent the indicator from overheating, allow appropriate clearance between the peripheral devices. If the ambient temperature exceeds the specified operating temperature, use a fan to cool the environment. Page 3 AD-4408A...
2. Introduction The AD-4408A is a weighing indicator that amplifies signals from a load cell, converts it to digital data and displays it as a weight value. Connection to various field networks is possible by installing the interface module into the option slot.
• Overflow display All the digits turn OFF. (When the polarity is negative, the minus sign appears at the highest-order digit.) Status indicators ZERO, STABLE, GROSS, NET, HOLD, Key switches ZERO, TARE, NET/GROSS, F, ON/OFF, ENTER, CAL Page 5 AD-4408A...
