1. Panel cut: 92 x 44 mm, depth: 110 mm (including rear terminal board).
2. Power supply:connect power supply to the instrument by means of the screw terminal , without bothering about polarity (0 to
8 - 24 Vdc and 0 to 9 - 15 Vac, 1W power ).
3. Transducer connection:See Label on top of the instrument
4. Calibration:
A. Power on the AN401Plus and push, at the same time, button ▼and C; when display shows FSET;release push buttons (by
releasing push buttons You enter into calibration menu). Wait at least 10-15min for warm up time.
B. Display shows LO: press E push button to store the ZERO numeric value (in the desired engineering units i.e. Kg, tons, daN
etc.). No tare or pre-load is applied to the transducer (i.e.: 0 Kg = 0 default value ).
Refer to point E about how to set different ZERO value.
C. Verify that load cell is free from any load and then press E(MEMO blinks on display).
D. Display shows LO: press ▲in order to show HI .
E. Display shows HI: press E and write the FULL SCALE numeric value (in the desired engineering units i.e. Kg, tons, daN etc.),
corresponding to a specimen applied onto the load cell or by using built-in calibration circuit: i.e. 500 Kg (1000 = default).
To increase or decrease the value press ▲or▼; to increase It quickly press ▲and E, at the same time, or ▼and Eto decrease
It quickly.
F. Apply the specimen onto the load cell, or activate the built-in calibration circuit, and press E to memorize It: on display It
blinks MEMO.
G. Display shows HI:press ▲in order to show dp .
H. Display shows dp (Decimal Point): press E to set the decimal point position.
In example, to show 100,0 , set value to 2 (decimal point is set on second digit from right side) and press E.
I. Display shows dp: press ▲to show adspd (ad speed = analog/digital sampling rate). Default value is 8=15 Hz. Values are: 0 =
3.820 kHz, 1 = 1.910 kHz, 2 = 960 Hz, 3 = 480 Hz, 4 = 240 Hz, 5 = 120 Hz, 6 = 60 Hz, 7 = 30 Hz, 8 = 15 Hz e 7 = 7.5 Hz.
Resolution depends on sampling rate: if high speed measures are not necessary, do not change default value.
J. The AN401Plus is calibrated: press Cto exit from calibration and personalization menu (AN401Plus restarts Itself and display
shows the transducer’s measure; default = MODO 1, NET value).
5. Dynamic zero: after calibration, the AN401Plus can show the transducer measures and, by pressing C, It will zeroes the displayed
measured value = DYNAMIC ZERO (this zeroing is not maintained after powering down the AN401Plus).
6. Grounding: if heavy electrical environmental noise is present the grounding pin (earth), on the rear panel of AN401Plus, is to be
connected to a good grounding well.
7. Alarm levels menu: by pressing ▲It is possible to set alarm levels values (see rear page).
8. Complete manual: for a comprehensive list of AN401Plus functions make reference to the complete manual available under request
or from web site www.dseurope.com .

Relay setting
Relays electrical connection
AN401Plus can have up to 2 internal alarm level cards installed, with 2
relays each, on slots A and B (with only one card It will be applied in
slot B): see figure for electrical connections.
Relays electrical specifications
- Maximum voltage : 30 Vdc.
- Maximum current : 2 A.
- Maximum power : 1W.
- Switching delay time: 2 mS.

Alarm level setting
1. Press E during normal use of AN401Plus.
2. Display shows LEV0: press E to change value.
3. Display shows default value 1000: press E to store the desired value. To increase or decrease the value press ▲or▼; to increase It
fastly press, at the same time, ▲and Eor ▼and Eto decrease It fastly .
4. Display shows LEV0: press ▲.
5. Display shows his0: press E to change value.
