1. Introduction
The AD-4411 is a weighing indicator that converts signals from strain gauge load cells and connects them to
an Industrial Ethernet network. It contributes to an efficient system by connecting weighing instruments to
industrial control systems in plants and factories.
- Two communication ports enable daisy-chain connection without a switching hub.
- 7-segment green LED display with a character height of 10 mm and display resolution of ±999999.
- High-speed AD conversion of 1200 times/second and a digital filter enable high speed and accurate weighing.
- DIN96x48 panel mount type with IP65 protection on the front panel.
- Settings can be updated with a PC via a USB port.
1.1. Safety precautions
Please read the following precautions carefully before using this product.
・Provide an external safety circuit for the indicator so that the safety of the whole system can be
secured even if errors occur in the external power supply or the indicator.
・Do not use the indicator in the following environments:
- where the temperature and the humidity exceed the specifications
- where there are corrosive or flammable gases
- where the indicator could be subjected to oil, chemicals, or water
Please note that securing the indicator to the control panel provides IP65 protection to the outside of
the control panel.
・Turn off all external power supplies when installing or removing the indicator.
・Turn off all external power supplies when wiring the indicator.
・Be sure to ground the indicator.
・Do not clamp control wires or communication cables with power lines, and do not position them close
to power lines.
・Position the load cell cable a sufficient distance away from high frequency circuits such as high voltage
power lines or inverter load circuits.
