Setting Up The Remote Scale; Remote Scale Connection; Remote Scale Setup - Intelligent Weighing Technology Intell-Count IDC 3 User's Operation Manual

• Attach the power supply cable to the connector on the right side of the scale base.
Plug in the power supply module. The power switch is located at the right side of the
scale base.
• The scale will show the model number in the "Weight" display window (IDC 15-
where 15 denotes the maximum capacity of the scale in Kg) and the current software
revision numbers in the "Unit Weight" display window .
• Next follows a self-test. At the end of the self-test, it will display "0" in all three
displays, if the zero condition has been achieved.

3.2.2 SETTING UP THE REMOTE SCALE

• The IDC Series can be connected to any size of load cell type weighing base via the
Remote scale port on the left side of the scale case. Ensure you have the correct base
for the scale as each is matched for calibration.
• Place the remote scale platform in the position where it is to be used. Level the scale
by adjusting the four feet. If fitted with a spirit level then it should be adjusted such that
the bubble is in the center.
• Press Local/Rem key and test weighing performance.

3.2.3 REMOTE SCALE CONNECTION

The cable for the load cell connects to a DB 9 pin d-subminiature plug connector with
the following connections:
Pin numbers
Pins 1,2
Pins 4,5
Pin 7
Pin 8
(The sense wires connections of a six wire load cell are not used but can be
connected to the respective Excitation pins).
3.2.4 REMOTE SCALE SET UP
See Section 12 Technical Parameters to set capacity, etc.
The remote scale should set for a realistic resolution with respect to the input provided
by the load cell/s.
If a single 2mV/V load cell is fitted and more than 60% of the load cell is used for full
capacity then the high output of >6mV span makes it possible to set a high resolution.
If this criterion is met then the remote scale can be set to a high resolution with a
maximum of 1/30,000, for example: 300kg x 10g.
It will also be possible to sample on the remote scale with the same accuracy as the
local.
Where more than one load cell is fitted or the total load cell capacity is not utilized then
