n’est pas installé ni utilisé conformément au manuel d’instruction, il peut générer des
interférences affectant les communications radio. L’utilisation de cet équipement dans
une zone résidentielle peut causer des interférences nuisibles, auquel cas l’utilisateur
sera tenu d’y remédier à ses frais.
NOTE:
Des changements ou modifications apportés à cet équipement sans l’autorisation
expresse de FMS Force Measuring Systems AG peuvent invalider l’agrément d’utilisation
de cet équipement accordé par la FCC.
Informations sur l’exposition aux rayonnements radioélectriques
Cet équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux rayonnements IC établies
pour un environnement non contrôlé. Cet équipement doit être installé et utilisé avec un
minimum de
[50] cm de distance entre la source de rayonnement et votre corps.
Ce transmetteur ne doit pas etre place au meme endroit ou utilise simultanement avec
un autre transmetteur ou antenne. “

3.2 Product Description
The digital tension measuring amplifier EMGZ310.ComACT is suitable for tension
measurement with all FMS force sensors. This versatile product includes the latest
technology and can substitute for all single channel amplifiers (1 measuring point, 1 or
2 force sensors). Amplifier configuration is straightforward with the parameters being
set using either three easily accessible keys or your smartphone/tablet. The free FMS-
ComACT app is available for download for IOS and Android devices, and makes
parameter setting and value reading as efficient and comfortable as never before.

4Quick Guide/Quick Start
In these operating instructions, commissioning of the measuring amplifier is limited to
the description of the installation procedure, offset compensation, and system
calibration.
4.1 Preparations for Parameterization
-Read the operating instructions of the selected force sensor carefully.
-Check your requirements on the system, such as:
oUsed units in the system
oUsed outputs (current or power)
-Filter settings for actual force value and analog output
-Create the connection diagram for your specific system layout (see chapter
“Electrical Connection”)
4.2 Mounting Sequence
-Mount the force sensors (mounting details can be obtained from the mounting
instructions of the force sensors)
-Connect the force sensors to the amplifier
-Connect the amplifier to the supply voltage. The voltage supply must be in the range
of 18 to 36 VDC
-Perform offset compensation and calibration
-Change the parameter settings as needed
4.3 Installation and Electrical Connections
Warning
To improve natural convection and keep heating of the amplifiers as
low as possible, the devices installed in a cabinet should have a
minimum distance of 15 mm.
Warning
The function of the measuring amplifier is only ensured with the
components in the specified layout to one another. Otherwise,
severe malfunctions may occur. Thus, the mounting information on
the following pages must be followed
Warning
The local installation regulations ensure the safety of electrical
systems. They are not considered in these operating instructions.
However, they must be met.

4.4 Force sensor installation
The force sensors are mounted in line with the mounting instructions of the respective
products. The mounting instructions are included with the force sensors.
4.5 Electrical Connections
One or two force sensors can be connected to the amplifier. When two sensors are used,
they are connected in parallel internally. The force sensors and amplifier are connected
using a 2 x 2 x 0.25 mm2[AWG 23] shielded, twisted cable.

Warning
Poor grounding can result in electric shocks for persons,
malfunctions of the overall system or damage to the measuring
amplifier! Proper grounding must always be ensured.
Note
Cable shielding may only be connected to one side of the measuring
amplifier. On the side of the force sensor, shielding must remain
open.
