CONNECTIONS

• For power connections see image below.
• For input signal connections see image below and ‘Table 1’ and section 10.
• For output signal module connections see image below and ‘Table 2’ and Table 3.

To identify the power and/or modules installed, check the reference at the instruments label and see section 5

Table 1 | INPUT signal connections

*If ‘sense’ is not used, shortcircuit ‘Sense+’ with ‘Vexc+’ and ‘Sense-’ with ‘Vexc-’.
When connecting the ground to the cell system, assure that the cell connection to ground is performed in such a way that the current to ground DOES NOT flow through the cell.

HOW TO PANEL THE INSTRUMENT

How to install the meter in a panel (see Table 4)

1. Remove the blue fixation clips from each side of the unit.
2. Insert instrument from the front of the panel into panel cut out.
3. Re-attached the two blue fixation tabs by sliding each one along its rail on each side and push until the tabs are tight onto the panel. If needed use a flat screwdriver to push the tabs strongly to the end.

Table 4 | PANEL INSTALLATION 1-2-3

HOW TO OPEN THE INSTRUMENT

Use a flat screwdriver to unlock clips ‘D’, C’, ‘B’ and ‘A’, in this order. Remove the front filter.
Gently let the internal boards slide out of the instrument.
To reinsert the boards in the housing :

1. make sure that the boards are correctly connected to the displays pins
2. slide the boards into the housing guides
3. place the front filter at corner X, and then insert clips ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’ and ‘D’ in this order.

Risk of electric shock. Removing the front cover will grant access to internal circuits which may be at dangerous voltage. Disconnect the input signal and the power supply to prevent electric shock to the operator. Operation must be performed by qualified personnel only.
Observe precautions for handling ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices.

Table 5 | HOW TO OPEN THE HOUSING

INITIAL CONFIGURATION

Identify the parameters of the load cell, at the manufacturers datasheet and fill Table 6 below. If the parameters are not known, leave the instrument with the default values. The ‘initial configuration’ procedure has a first theoretical step and a second empirical step. The third and final step will set the ‘system zero’ of the instrument. After the third step is applied and the instrument is correctly reading the load cell, the rest of the parameters can be configured, and there is no need to reconfigure the ‘initial configuration’ parameters.
Table 6  | LOAD CELL THEORETICAL PARAMETERS

1. Theoretical characterization of the load cell
Access the ‘configuration menu’, and enter the ‘initial configuration’ (InIt) menu. The theoretical parameters are configured at the ‘Load cell parameters’ (cELL) menu.

• at ‘Decimal point’ (dP) place the decimal point according to the resolution you want to see (the number of digits to the right of the decimal point)
• at ‘Nominal weight’ (LoAd) introduce the nominal weight of the load cell. The value is entered with the resolution configured in the parameter above.
• at ‘Sensitivity’ (MV.V) introduce the value of the cell sensitivity.
• at ‘Excitation voltage’ (V.EXc) select 5 or 10 Vdc. (The ‘Laboratory mode’ (LAb) is for direct connection to a millivolt generator instead of a load cell (see Table 11)).

When the theoretical values are configured, leave the configuration menu, then apply a ‘system zero’ (see below), then force a tare, and place different weights to check if the reading is correct. If it is not correct, apply the empirical configuration (see below) and again the ‘system zero’ (see below).
2. Empirical characterization of the load cell
The second part of the load cell configuration is an empirical process of field correction. The instrument will detect and correct the individual deviations of this particular load cell.
For the empirical configuration you will need access to two weights : a low weight, as small as possible (it can be the cell without weight) and a high weight as close as possible to the nominal weight of the cell.
In each case the meter will be informed of the real weight applied to the cell in order to correct and compensate for the measured deviations at the signal. Both corrections are need (high and low) for a correct configuration of the load cell.

• low weight correction : place the load cell without weight or with the smallest weight possible, and access the ‘Low weight correction’ (F.Lo) menu. Press key ‘SQ’ (■), introduce the value of the weight and press again ‘SQ’ (■). The instrument will flash shortly and return to the menu entry ‘Low weight correction’ (F.Lo).
• high weight correction : place the load cell with a weight closest to nominal and access the ‘High weight correction’ (F.hI) menu. Press key ‘SQ’ (■), introduce the value of the weight and press again ‘SQ’ (■). The instrument will flash shortly and return to the menu entry ‘High weight correction’ (‘F.hI’).

Once both corrections are applied, leave the configuration menu. Force a tare, and place different weights to check that the reading is correct. As a last step, assign the ‘system zero’.
3. Assign the ‘system zero’
This is a necessary and important step for a correct measurement with a load cell.

• place the load cell without weight or with the weight that will be considered as ‘zero’ and access the ‘System zero’ (S.ZEr) parameter. Press key ‘SQ’ (■). The instrument will flash shortly and return to the menu entry ‘System zero’ (S.ZEr).

The empirical configuration of the load cell recalculates and updates the theoretical sensitivity value (‘Sensitivity mV/V’ (MV.V) parameter). Manual modifications of this parameter will modify the configuration of the cell. To prevent accidental modification consider the activation of the ‘password’ function.
Once the load cell has been correctly configured, and the reading of the instrument is correct, it is not necessary to access again this part of the configuration menu. If you need to scale the reading to different units, use the ‘Scale factor’ (ScL.F) parameters at the ‘Advanced configuration’ menu.
The ‘Scale factor’ (‘ScL.F’) configures a fixed multiplier to apply to the reading. For example, a system is configured to read in Kg, and we want reading in pounds. The relation between kilograms and pounds is: 1 Kg = 2,20462 pounds. Within the scale factor, configure the multiplier to 220462 and the divider to 100000. The instrument is now configured to read in ‘pounds’.

HOW TO OPERATE

AT POWER-UP When the power supply is connected:

• the ‘display’ shows ‘……’ and then indicates the reading.
• the instrument is now in ‘normal mode’ of operation.

FROM ‘NORMAL MODE’ OF OPERATION

• key ‘SQ’ (■) gives access to the ‘configuration menu’ (see section 15).
• key ‘UP’ (▲) gives access to the ‘fast access’ menu
• key ‘LE’ (◀) activates the ‘key left’ functions.

HOW TO ENTER THE ‘CONFIGURATION MENU’
With the instrument in ‘normal mode’ of operation, press the ‘SQ’ (■) key and maintain for 1 second.
The first menu entry displayed is ‘Initial conf.’ (InIt). Download the user’s manual (see section 3) for a full explanation on the functions available.
HOW TO OPERATE INSIDE THE ‘CONFIGURATION MENU’
Inside the ‘configuration menu’, use the front keypad to move through menu entries, parameters, and select configuration values:

•  Key ‘SQ’ (■) functions as the ‘ENTER’ key. It selects the menu entry currently displayed. At numerical value entries, it validates the number displayed.
• Key ‘UP’ (▲) moves vertically through the different menu entries. At numerical value entries, it modifies the selected digit by increasing its value to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
• Key ‘LE’ (◀) functions as the ‘ESCAPE’ key. It leaves the selected menu entry, and eventually, will leave the ‘configuration menu’. When leaving the ‘configuration menu’, the changed parameters are activated. At numerical value entries, the ‘LE’ (◀) key allows to select the active digit. To modify a numeric value press the ‘UP’ (▲) key to increase the value ‘+1’.
  Press the ‘SQ’ (■) key to validate the value.

‘ROLLBACK’ FUNCTION
If there is no interaction from the operator for 30 seconds, the instrument exits the ‘configuration menu’ discarding changes, and returns to ‘normal mode’ of operation.
WHEN EXITING THE ‘CONFIGURATION MENU’
When exiting the ‘configuration menu’, a start-up is applied. After start-up, the new configuration is active and the instrument is in ‘normal mode’ of operation.
