General Description
This series of meters accepts industrial sensors to allow various physical measurements to
be made, such a weight, temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Different models are available
for different sensor types.

The main function of this series is to give a numeric readout of the variable being monitored.
Most models include an excitation power output, to power the sensor directly.

Various optional output modules are also available to give alarm relay outputs, analogue
output or digital communications, or any combination of these options.

Meters are programmed using front panel pushbuttons. The buttons may be locked with a
rear switch.

Meters have two power supply options : 100-240 VAC or 11-30VDC

These meters are designed to mount into a protective enclosure which will protect users from
contact with power and signal wiring.

These units must be installed fully assembled, and must be installed according to local electrical
installation rules. When properly installed, they provide ingress protection to IP65 / NMA4X
from the front

DIN Rail Mounting option
This Series is ideal if you need high precision signal conditioning. Sometimes, it is not
necessary to have front panel indication, so in such cases, we offer a DIN rail mounting option,
which allows the meter to be installed within a control panel.

Detachable connectors add to the simplicity of installation, and of course the setup method is
identical to the panel mounting version, so you don’t need to learn a new method.

The display remains active, so you can see at a glance the status of your signals, and
programming is simple, using the 4 buttons.

Output functions include isolated 16 bit 4-20mA, 0-10V, -10 to +10V, RS232, RS485 and up
to 4 alarms with a wide choice of alarm functions.

Install the meters in a suitable protective electrical control enclosure according to local wiring
regulations. See specifications for maximum allowable temperature in enclosure. Allow
adequate air circulation.

Securing into the panel

Use standard top-Hat DIN rail 35 mm x 7.5 mm (EN 50022, BS 5584, DIN 46277-3)

Ventilation
There should be sufficient ventilation in the enclosure to ensure that the meter’s case is
always kept to less than 60C.

Meter Spacing.
Meters should be spaced apart sufficiently to allow a free flow of ventilation air around the
meters, such that no part of the case will exceed 60C

Wiring Advice
This meter uses detachable screw terminal connectors. Refer to the wiring diagram on the
following page for the correct positioning of each wire.

The conductors you use must be suitable for the meter’s temperature, current and voltage
rating, which is broadly described as follows:-

Cable Temperature Rating

All cables must be rated for operation up to 90C continuous.

Cable gauge and screw tightness

The connectors on this instrument can accept conductors up to 16 gauge AWG / 1.5mm2
c.s.a. The minimum cross sectional area shall be 22 gauge AWG / 0.5mm2 . Tighten screw
terminals to 7.0 lb/in torque / 0.8 Nm torque.

Cable insulation voltage rating

Cables shall have an insulation voltage rating of at least 380V continuous.

No bare wires exposed

125mm behind panel

We recommend multi-strand wire, because it withstands vibration better than single strand
cable. Pull the wire firmly after you make the connection to confirm it is tight.

Use screened cable for all signal and control wiring and connect the screen to earth at the
destination end only. Route signal cabling away from power cabling and relay switching
cabling, to avoid electrical noise interference.

Installation hints for best performance
This section offers several suggestions which will help you get the best performance from
your weighing system.

Loadcells create very small signals which can easily be corrupted by electrical noise. These
steps will ensure you get the best possible performance from your meter.

1. Use good quality screened signal cable, with 3 twisted pairs. Belden 8777NH,
Belden 9503 and AlphaWire 6010C are good choices, available from many
electrical distributors.

2. Even if your loadcell is only a 4 wire device, we recommend you use 6 core cable
between the display and the loadcell, and wire as shown in the diagram opposite.
This will ensure that any resistance changes in your cabling, caused by changes
in temperature, will be cancelled.

3. Each pair should be dedicated to a signal function as shown opposite, for maximum
noise immunity. (One twisted pair for Excitation, one twisted pair for Sense, one
twisted pair for Signal) This will ensure that any electrical noise induced in the
cable is properly cancelled. Mixing functions carelessly amongst the twisted pairs
can actually worsen noise performance.

4. The cable should be routed away from noisy wiring and devices such as power
feeds from inverters, discharge-lighting cables, welder cabling etc, and should
preferrably be routed in a dedicated low voltage signalling/instrumentation conduit
or cable tray.

5. Screened cable should be earthed at the display end only.

6. All wires and screens coming out of the screened cable should be kept as short
as possible to minimise pickup of noise.

7. If you are using barriers, you should earth your screen as shown below, paying
particular care that you do not earth both ends of any run of of cable.NB If using
galvanic isolation barriers, connect 10K from terminal 2 to terminal 3 and 10K
from terminal 3 to terminal 5 on the display’s Sig. Input connector to maintain the
input signal within the common mode range of the excitation sense circuit.

Connecting multiple load cells

It is common practise to include a load cell in each leg of a supporting structure, to ensure
that the weight is measured accurately, regardless of where in the structure the material
may be centred.

Handy Tip
If you are thinking of designing a circular hopper support structure, a 3 legged support
system is ideal as it shares the load on each leg much better than a 4, 5 or 6 legged
structure.

Plus there are fewer legs and therefore fewer load cells required. Ensure that the legs are
arranged in an equilateral triangle. (120 degree separation)

Provided each of your load cells has the same sensitivity, cable length and same
resistances (ideally from the same manufacturing batch) you can simply connect them in
parallel.

Connect them together in a water-tight junction box.

 Meter Calibration Modes
You can choose from two main calibration methods.

1. Direct Calibration - this is when you connect the meter to your system and
make the meter read what you want it to, at 2 different points. This is the preferred
calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.

2. Theoretical Calibration - this is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical

signal level at the bottom and top of itsrange and then type in the value the
display should show, for each signal level.

it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.

How to do direct calibration:-

If you have not done so before, please select Direct Calibration mode from
the previous page.

First we recommend you set the FULL SCALE calibration ...

Apply the highest calibration weight you can achieve, ideally 100% of

Sensor Drift correction
If your system is normally reading 0, for example as is typical with platform scales or a
torque meter, you may find a small amount of sensor drift caused by changes in
temperature, ageing etc.

We can automatically correct for slow, long term drift, by comparing your signal to 0 every
30 seconds, and re-calibrating to remove any detected movement.

This does not affect the sensititivity of your system, and is only applied for readings less
than 8 least-significant counts.

The corrected value is stored in non-volatile memory, so that any drift trend will be
re-applied after you have switched off the meter.

Logic input connections and front buttons
The previous page explained how to select the functions of the 3 logic inputs. You can
connect remote contact closures or open NPN collectors to activate these logic inputs.

The logic input provides a 5V DC signal. When you connect this to common, a current of
1mA will flow. Because this is a small signal, we recommend you use switches with gold
plated contacts, or self cleaning contacts, for best long term reliability.

The logic inputs are not galvanically isolated from the input signal.

The logic inputs are only activated when the lockout switch is ON

Signal Filtering / Averaging
You can adjust the filtering time constant to reduce the effect of noise or instability on your
input signal.

A larger FIL value will give a more stable display, but the response to signal changes will be
slower.

Because your output options, such as analogue output, alarm relays and serial output are all
derived from the displayed value, they will respond at the same rate as the filtered display.

See also Filter Jump setting if your signal is particularly noisy and you cannot get sufficient
smoothing with this filter.

This meter also includes an active filter for removing the effects of vibration. It is shipped
with the filter enabled for maximum stability. You can move a push-on jumper switch to
change the filter response to maximum speed if you wish. See below.

(factory default)

31
 Filter Jump value
The Filter Jump value allows you to decide how the display will respond to a process step
change. It does this by overriding the filtering, if the input signal moves by more than a
chosen amount in one conversion. The Filter Jump default value is 10%.

This means that for noise amplitude which has a peak value of less than 10% of the input
range, filtering will be applied. Any signal movement greater than 10% of the input range will
cause the display to jump immediately to that value, without filtering. After that jump, normal
filtering will be re-applied, provided signal movement thereafter is less than 10% per con-
version.

Guidance:
For noisy systems, increase the Filter Jump value up to a maximum of 99. Choose a value
which gives a good compromise between filtering and response speed.

For reasonably clean signals, a Filter Jump value of around 10 or less will give a good
compromise between filtering and response speed to step change inputs.

For maximum stability, set FiL.J 99

 Scale Factor adjustment
After you have calibrated your meter, you can use the SCALE feature to make fine adjust-
ments to calibration, without affecting the calibration itself.

Examples

1.Changing weight units of measure from kg to pounds

You could also use the SCALE to convert your readout from kg to pounds, without affecting
the calibration. Simply set SCALE = 2.205 and your meter which was calibrated in kg will
now read in pounds. For converting Pounds to kg, use a Scale of 0.4535

2. Correcting for gravitational variance

Your weighing system was calibrated where gravitational acceleration = 9.812m/s2 (Lon-
don) You then move the system to Bankok where gravitational acceleration is reduced to
9.782m/s2

You can correct for this difference by setting Scale = 9.812 / 9.782 = 1.003, so that a given
mass in Bangkok will show the same weight as it did in London. Set Offset = 0.0000

Multi-Program Memory option MEM
The three contact closure inputs on the rear of the meter may be used to call up between 1
to 7 additional meter setup memories (pages), if the MEM option has been installed. This
allows you to save up to 8 complete sets of independent calibrations, alarm settings, ana-
logue output settings and serial comms settings.

First decide how many memory pages you want, as this will determine how many logic
inputs you will need to use for the addressing. Logic inputs not required for Page Address-
ing can be used for other functions such as Tare, Reset, Display Hold, Peak/Valley display.

If you have used all 3 logic inputs for Page Addressing, you can still use the meter’s front
panel buttons to perform Tare, Reset and peak/Valley view.

 Error codes and fault finding

--Ur-- 1. Under Range. The meter is being asked to display a value which is more
negative than its limit of -199999

--Or-- 2. Over Range. The meter is being asked to display a value which is higher
than its limit of 999999

If no loadcell is connected to the display, you will see one of these fault
codes.

In addition, these fault codes could be displayed because the signal is too
negative, too positive, or because there is a wiring error, or because the
display’s scaling has been adjusted to give excessive sensitivity, or because
there is a fault in the display.

a. Measure the input signal on terminals 3(-) and 4(+)and confirm that it is
between -40mV DC and +40mV DC. You can temporarily force the dis-
play’s input signal to 0mV by wiring a link between terminal 3 and terminal 4,
but keep the loadcell connected in addition to this link, as the display needs
to see a full bridge at its input

b. Measure the excitation voltage on terminals 1(-) and 6(+) and confirm that
it is between 9.5 and 10.5V DC. If it is less than 9.5V, remove the plug-in
connector and measure the voltage directly on pins 1 and 6 with the connec-
tor removed. If it is still less than 9.5V, and if the meter has not been pur-
posefully modified to give lower excitation, then there is most likely a fault
with the display and it should be returned to us for the attention of our QA
Manager, with a report of what you found, for repair.

c. Measure the sense voltage on terminals 2(-) and 5(+) and confirm that it is
between 4 and 10.5V DC. If it is not, please confirm that you have connected
terminal 1 to terminal 2 and terminal 5 to terminal 6, either at the meter end
of the loadcell cable or at the loadcell end.

d. Measure the voltage between terminal 2(-) and terminal 3(+) It should be
half of the voltage you measured in step 3. If it is not, there is most likely a
wiring error between the display and the loadcell, or the loadcell is faulty.
Check the wiring according to the installation instructions for the loadcell and
the display. If that appears to be correct, measure the resistance of the four
loadcell branches according to the loadcell manufacturer’s specifications.

e. If steps 1 to 4 were satisfactory, the problem may be caused by the scal-

ing being too sensitive. If you are happy to do so, it is a simple matter to reset
the display’s scaling to the factory default conditions. Put the lockout switch
off and press all 4 buttons together for around 3 seconds until the display
shows “dEFS n” press the UP button once so the display shows “dEFS Y”.
Now press the OK button and the display will be reset to factory defaults.

If still no success, please return the display to us for the attention of our QA
Manager, with a report of what you found, for repair.

power before you expose
the rear of the meter

If you want to open your meter to install or modify option boards, follow these steps...

1) Switch off power to the meter and unplug all connectors.

2) Unclip the front bezel. This is easier if you squeeze the top and bottom of
the case, near the front.

3) Remove the small screws shown in the diagram. If the meter doesn’t yet
have an output option board, the top screw may not yet be fitted.

4) Slide the electronic boards out throught the front of the case. You can easily
separate the upper option board from the
main board. We strongly suggest that you
use anti-static precautions to prevent
damage to the semiconductors.

The board assemblies will look something like this...
