USER WARNINGS

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PROPER USE OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENT

-Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight

-Repair the instrument from rain (except special IP versions)

-Do not wash with water jets (except special IP versions)

-Do not dip in water

-Do not spill liquid on the instrument

-Do not use solvents to clean the instrument

-Do not install in areas subject to explosion hazard (except special Atex versions)

-If the working temperature reaches the permitted limits, it is advisable to distance the instruments

to ensure adequate air flow and avoid malfunctions (e.g.: sudden shutdowns or disconnections)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS

The terminals indicated on the instrument’s wiring diagram to be connected to earth must

have the same potential as the weighed structure (same earthing pit or earthing system). If

you are unable to ensure this condition, connect with an earthing wire the terminals of the

instrument (including the terminal –SUPPLY) to the weighed structure.

The cell cable must be individually led to its panel input and not share a conduit with other cables;

connect it directly to the instrument terminal strip without breaking its route with support terminal strips.

Use “RC” filters on the instrument-driven solenoid valve and remote control switch coils.

Avoid inverters in the instrument panel; if inevitable, use special filters for the inverters and separate

them with sheet metal partitions.

The panel installer must provide electric protections for the instruments (fuses, door lock switch

etc.).

It is advisable to leave the equipment always switched on to prevent the formation of condensation.

MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS

-RS485: 1000 metres with AWG24, shielded and twisted cables

-Analog current output: up to 500 metres with 0.5 mm2 cable

-Analog voltage output: up to 300 metres with 0.5 mm2cable

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LOAD CELLS

INSTALLING LOAD CELLS: The load cells must be placed on rigid, stable in-line structures; it

is important to use the mounting modules for load cells to compensate for misalignment of the

support surfaces.

PROTECTION OF THE CELL CABLE: Use water-proof sheaths and joints in order to protect the

cables of the cells.

- 2 -

MECHANICAL RESTRAINTS (pipes, etc.): When pipes are present, we recommend the use of

hoses and flexible couplings with open mouthpieces with rubber protection; in case of hard pipes,

place the pipe support or anchor bracket as far as possible from the weighed structure (at a distance

at least 40 times the diameter of the pipe).

WELDING: Avoid welding with the load cells already installed. If this cannot be avoided, place the

welder ground clamp close to the required welding point to prevent sending current through the load

cell body.

WINDY CONDITIONS - KNOCKS - VIBRATIONS: The use of weigh modules is strongly

recommended for all load cells to compensate for misalignment of the support surfaces. The system

designer must ensure that the plant is protected against lateral shifting and tipping relating to:

shocks and vibration; windy conditions; seismic conditions in the installation setting; stability of the

support structure.

EARTHING THE WEIGHED STRUCTURE: By means of a copper wire with suitable cross-section,

connect the cell upper support plate with the lower support plate, then connect all the lower plates to

a single earthing system. Electrostatic charges accumulated because of the product rubbing against

the pipes and the weighed container walls are discharged to the ground without going through or

damaging the load cells. Failure to implement a proper earthing system might not affect the

operation of the weighing system; this, however, does not rule out the possibility that the cells and

connected instrument may become damaged in the future. It is forbidden to ensure earthing system

continuity by using metal parts contained in the weighed structure.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED

LOAD CELL INPUT TEST (QUICK ACCESS)

From the weight display, press for 3 seconds: the display shows the response signal of each

load cell ( ÷ ) expressed in mV with three decimals.

Example: a load cell with 2.000 mV/V sensitivity provides a response signal between 0 and 10 mV.

LOAD CELL TESTING

Load cell resistance measurement (use a digital multimeter):

-Turn off the instrument.

-The value between the positive signal wire and the negative signal wire must be equal or similar

to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (output resistance).

-The value between the positive excitation wire and the negative excitation wire must be equal or

similar to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (input resistance).

Load cell voltage measurement (use a digital multimeter):

-Turn on the instrument.

-Take out the load cell to be tested from underneath the container, or alternatively, lift the

container support.

-Make sure that the excitation of two wires of the load cell connected to the instrument (or

amplifier) is 5 VDC ±3%.

-Measure the response signal between the positive and the negative signal wires by directly

connecting them to the tester, and make sure that it is comprised between 0 and 0.5 mV.

-Apply load to the cell and make sure that there is a signal increment.

IF ONE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS IS NOT MET, PLEASE CONTACT THE TECHNICAL

ASSISTANCE SERVICE.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

BASIC INFORMATION

-It is recommended that the power supply negative pole be grounded.

-It is possible to supply up to 16 350 ohm load cells.

-Connect terminal “–SUPPLY” to the RS485 common of the connected instruments in the event

that these receive alternating current input or that they have an optically isolated RS485.

-In case of an RS485 network with several devices it is recommended to activate the 120 ohm

termination resistance on the two devices located at the ends of the network, as described in the

paragraph RS485 SERIAL CONNECTION.

WIRING DIAGRAM

In case of difficulty connecting all the reference wires of the installed load cells, simply connect

those of the load cell located at the average distance from the instrument. The reference wires not

used must be individually isolated.

USE OF 4-WIRE LOAD CELLS: if all the load cells used are 4-wire, make a jumper between -EX

(26)and -REF (22) and between +EX (25) and +REF (21).
