2 Quick Installation Guide
In a Plug & Play configuration the set-up of the EMGZ310 and force sensor is limited to
only the offset compensation and the calibration.
2.1 Preparations for Set-up
1. Read the Operation Manual of your force measuring sensors
2. Check your requirements such as:
− Desired output configuration ±10V or 0/4… 20mA
− Devise Mode (Force Gauge or Volt Gauge)
− Cut off frequency of low-pass filter
3. Draw the wiring diagram for your configuration (ref. to 2.6 “Wiring the
Amplifier“)
2.2 Installation Procedure
1. Mount your force maesuring sensors to the machine
2. Wire the Force Measuring Sensor(s) (ref. to Fig. 1 and 2)
3. Connect the amplifier to the power supply.
4. The power supply voltage must be in the range 18 to 36V DC.
5. Perform offset compensation and calibration (ref. to chapters 3.4 to 3.7)
6. If required, do additional settings (ref. to 4“ Parameterization”)
2.3 Mounting the Force Sensors
Mounting of the force sensors is done according to the FMS Installation manual
which is delivered together with the force sensors.
2.4 Installation and wiring
Caution
Proper function of the Tension Measuring Amplifier is only guaranteed with the
recommended application of the components. In case of other arrangement,
heavy malfunction can be the result. Therefore, the installation instructions on the
following pages must be followed strictly.
Caution
Local installation regulations are to preserve safety of electric equipment. They
are not taken into consideration by this operating manual. However, they have to
be followed strictly.

2.6 Wiring the Amplifier
One or two force sensors can be connected to the measuring amplifier. When
using two force sensors, the output signal of the measuring amplifier will then
correspond to the average value of the two sensors. The connection between force
sensors and measuring amplifier has to be done using a 2x2x0.25mm2[AWG 23]
shielded twisted-pair cable.

Caution
Bad earth connection may cause electric shock to persons, malfunction of the
total system or damage of the control unit. It is vital to ensure a proper earth
ground connection.
Note
The shield should be connected only to the electronic unit. On the force sensor
side the shield should stay open.
Note
Sensor cables must be installed separate from power lines.
2.7 Modify the wiring
For an easy and quick exchange of an amplifier it is possible to exchenge the
single terminal blocks as assembly. You neither have to disconnect the wiring,
nore do you have to open the housing of the device.
Make sure that the amplifier is disconnected from the power supply.
Insert a screw driver with a small blade in
between the terminal block and the housing on
the top end of the block
Using the screw driver as a lever will loosen the
block from the housing. It will slide downwards
The block is now disconnected. You can slide it
out the device.
Insert the block on the desired position. Push
the block fully into the slot. You will hear a
“click” sound as the block interlocks

3 Configuring the Amplifier
3.1 Power up the EMGZ 310
1. Connect the first force sensor (see Fig.2 Wiring Diagram EMGZ310)
2. Check whether applying a force in measuring direction (in the direction of the
red point) on the first sensor results in a positive output signal. If not, exchange
the two signal wires of this force sensor in the terminal block (terminals 6/7).
3. If applicable, connect the second force sensor.
4. Check whether applying a force in measuring direction on the second sensor
results in a positive output signal. If not, exchange the two signal wires of this
force sensor in the terminal block (terminals 6/7).
3.2 Operating the EMGZ310 over the Operating Panel
The EMGZ310 amplifier can go in 4 different states:
• Operation State: Amplifier operating
• Offset Compensation: Automatic procedure to offset the roller weight
• Calibration State: Procedure to calculate the amplifier gain
• Parameterisation State: Set or change parameters
When using the operating panel, the user can toggle between these modes by
pressing a key or a combination of keys.
3.3 Operating Panel
The keys on the operation panel have the following functions:
