2. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing an A&D FG-D-CWP weighing indicator (for the IP67 waterproof digital platform scale). This instruction manual mainly describes installation. Please refer to it when connecting or installing the FG-D-CWP to a weighing platform (load cell). Also, the FG-D-CWP has the same functions as that of the indicator for the FG-CWP series. Although this manual covers some of the functions and how to use the series, the following instruction manual explains all of them. [The instruction manual of the FG-CWP series] The instruction manual for understanding and fully utilizing the waterproof digital platform scale, the FGCWP series, can be downloaded from the A&D website (https://www.aandd.jp).
3. Outline and Features
The FG-D-CWP is an electronic indicator that is appropriate for composing an IP67 waterproof digital platform scale by connecting to a weighing platform (load cell), and it has the following features.
The indicator made of all stainless steel and has waterproof/dustproof performance compliant with IP67. (Intrusion of water into the device is prevented even when submerged to a depth of 1 m for 30 minutes.) Operating up to four 350 load cells is available. Available range selection, for the display resolution, is 1/20 to 1/100,000. Free setting of the weighing capacity, within the display resolution of 1/100,000, is available. Available weighing units are kg (kilogram), g (gram), Ib (pound), oz (ounce), t (ton), and pcs (pieces for the counting mode). It has similar specifications and functions as an indicator of the FG-CWP series.

5. Installation and Precautions
5.1. Precautions for Installing the Indicator
DANGER
Ground the scale, so that the user will not be subjected to an electric shock. To prevent electric shock, do not handle the USB cable with wet hands. The USB cable is not waterproof. Install the scale in an area where it will not get wet. Do not install the scale where flammable or corrosive gas is present. Do not put excessive force on cables. The scale is heavy. Use caution, as lifting may cause it to fall over. Use shielded load cell cables.
Please read “Precautions for Installing the Scale” in [Instruction Manual: FG- CWP Series] on the A&D website (https://www.aandd.jp) for other precautions, cautions as an assembled scale, storage and cleaning.

5.2. Load Cell Connection

FG-D-CWP has two connection configurations: the 6-wire configuration and the 4-wire configuration. We recommend connecting using the 6-wire configuration for optimum accuracy and stability. The applicable diameter of load cell cable is from 3.5 to 9.0 mm.

Disadvantage

Remark

6-wire configuration (recommended)

Less error even if the length of load cell cable is long or a thin load cell cable is used. Less error even if multiple load cells are used.

Slightly complicated to wire.

When using a summing box, it is strongly recommended wiring be done with the 6-wire configuration.

4-wire Easy to wire.
configuration

The accuracy of temperature counting is affected by resistance of the conductor wire for the load cell cable. It is affected by contact resistance of the connector.

Using a long load cell cable or multiple load cells tends to cause error.

Precautions for connecting with the 4-wire configuration Make sure to do the following when connecting with the 4-wire configuration.
Short-circuit between EXC+ and SEN+, and between EXC- and SEN-. When using a long a load cell cable, use one with a cross-sectional area that is as large as possible. Also, use a cable that is as short as possible.

5.3. How to Connect the Load Cell
1. Disconnect the power cable of the scale (indicator) from the plug.
2. Remove the 4 M3 screws from the load cell panel on the backside of the indicator, and open the load cell panel.

3. Loosen the lock of the cable clamp connecting to the load cell panel, and pass the load cell cable through. Fit the rubber packing in the load cell cable.

Load cell cable Lock

Cable clamp

The applicable diameter of load cell cable is from 3.5 to 9.0mm. If the diameter of cable is from 3.5 to 7.0, replace the cable clamp with the accessory rubber packing that is packed with the product.
If the diameter of cable is from 7.0 to 9.0, the cable clamp does not need to be replaced.

4. Refer to “5.2. Load Cell Connection”, and connect the cable core to the terminal block of the load cell. Hold down the white button on each terminal in the terminal block of the load cell when connecting or disconnecting the wire. (Additional tool is not required.)
5. Once the load cell is connected, make sure that wiring has been done correctly.
6. Fasten the lock of the cable clamp, and secure the load cell cable.
7. Secure and close the load cell panel with the 4 screws. To maintain water- proof performance, tighten the cable clamp firmly when connecting the load cell cable. And tighten the bolts on the rear panel firmly. The recommended torque is 0.4Nm (4kgfcm).

Connect or disconnect the wire while pressing the white button

5.4. Verifying Load Cell Output and Input Sensitivity
The input sensitivity is 0.1 µV/division or more. When designing a weighing scale, the following calculation formula should be satisfied. The input sensitivity requires a change in output voltage, from the weighing device, to change the
display value as a one digit step. In order to achieve a scale with stable performance, select the input sensitivity as large as possible.

Calculating formula:

E x B x d

0.1

A x n

A: Rated capacity of load cell B: Rated output (mV/V) d: Minimum division E: Excitation voltage (mV) = 5000 mV for FG-D-CWP n: Number of load cells

Example of calculation:
In the case of designing a scale with a capacity of 60 kg and minimum division of 0.005 kg, using one load cell with a rated capacity of 100 kg and rated output of 1 mV/V:

Rated capacity of Load cell: Rated output: Minimum division: Excitation voltage: Number of load cells:

A = 100 kg B = 1 mV/V d = 0.005 kg E = 5000 mV n = 1

5000 x 1 x 0.005

100 x 1

= 0.25 > 0.1

The above indicates there is no problem with this design.

5.5. Setting Up the Indicator
1. Insert the USB plug into the AC adapter included with this product and connect it to the power supply. Confirm that local voltage and receptacle type are correct. You can also use except for the AC adapter included with this product. This product can also be powered from a USB port or mobile battery. Note: Not all operations are guaranteed. The USB cable serves as both a power and a communication.

If using the scale in a location where static electricity is
easily generated or where it may get wet, secure the grounding wire with the protective grounding terminal (screw).

7.3. Sensitivity Adjustment Using a Weight
This function adjusts the scale (indicator) for accurate weighing. Sensitivity adjustment must be done when the FG-D-CWP is initially connected to a load cell (base unit) or the combination is changed. Sensitivity adjustment may also be required according the changes in the environment.
When the scale (indicator) is initially installed. When the scale (indicator) is moved to a location far away. When the ambient environment has greatly changed. In periodic sensitivity adjustment

Note: Prepare a weight. (A weight equivalent to the weighing capacity of the scale to be adjusted is recommended. However, the value for the weight can be set (changed).)

9. To end setting, press the ZERO key or CAL key. The display turns off. Note: If the scale (indicator) is moved to a distant location after sensitivity adjustment, adjust the gravitational acceleration value to that of the area where it will be adjusted next. Then adjust the scale. See the next chapter for setting gravitational acceleration.

7.4. Correcting for Gravitational Acceleration
When relocating a scale (indicator), you need to perform sensitivity adjustment with a weight. If a weight is not available, you can adjust the scale (indicator) by correcting the gravitational acceleration. Refer to the acceleration map on the last page, and change the gravitational acceleration value recorded in the scale (indicator) to the one for appropriate location.
Note: If sensitivity adjustment is done using a weight at the place where the scale (indicator) is used, it does not need to be corrected for gravitational acceleration.
