USER WARNINGS
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PROPER USE OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENT
-Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight
-Repair the instrument from rain (except special IP versions)
-Do not wash with water jets (except special IP versions)
-Do not dip in water
-Do not spill liquid on the instrument
-Do not use solvents to clean the instrument
-Do not install in areas subject to explosion hazard (except special Atex versions)
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS
The terminals indicated on the instrument’s wiring diagram to be connected to earth must
have the same potential as the weighed structure (same earthing pit or earthing system). If
you are unable to ensure this condition, connect with an earthing wire the terminals of the
instrument (including the terminal –SUPPLY) to the weighed structure.
The cell cable must be individually led to its panel input and not share a conduit with other cables;
connect it directly to the instrument terminal strip without breaking its route with support terminal
strips.
Use “RC” filters on the instrument-driven solenoid valve and remote control switch coils.
Avoid inverters in the instrument panel; if inevitable, use special filters for the inverters and separate
them with sheet metal partitions.
The panel installer must provide electric protections for the instruments (fuses, door lock switch
etc.).
It is advisable to leave the equipment always switched on to prevent the formation of condensation.
MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS
-RS485: 1000 metres with AWG24, shielded and twisted cables
-RS232: 15 metres for baud rates up to 19200
-Analog current output: up to 500 metres with 0.5 mm2 cable
-Analog voltage output: up to 300 metres with 0.5 mm2cable
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LOAD CELLS
INSTALLING LOAD CELLS: The load cells must be placed on rigid, stable in-line structures; it
is important to use the mounting modules for load cells to compensate for misalignment of the
support surfaces.
PROTECTION OF THE CELL CABLE: Use water-proof sheaths and joints in order to protect the
cables of the cells.
MECHANICAL RESTRAINTS (pipes, etc.): When pipes are present, we recommend the use of
hoses and flexible couplings with open mouthpieces with rubber protection; in case of hard pipes,
place the pipe support or anchor bracket as far as possible from the weighed structure (at a distance
at least 40 times the diameter of the pipe).

- 2 -
CONNECTING SEVERAL CELLS IN PARALLEL: Connect several cells in parallel by using - if
necessary - a watertight junction box with terminal box. The cell connection extension cables must
be shielded, led individually into their piping or conduit and laid as far as possible from the power
cables (in case of 4-wire connections, use cables with 4x1 mm2minimum cross-section).
WELDING: Avoid welding with the load cells already installed. If this cannot be avoided, place the
welder ground clamp close to the required welding point to prevent sending current through the load
cell body.
WINDY CONDITIONS - KNOCKS - VIBRATIONS: The use of weigh modules is strongly
recommended for all load cells to compensate for misalignment of the support surfaces. The system
designer must ensure that the plant is protected against lateral shifting and tipping relating to:
shocks and vibration; windy conditions; seismic conditions in the installation setting; stability of the
support structure.
EARTHING THE WEIGHED STRUCTURE: By means of a copper wire with suitable cross-section,
connect the cell upper support plate with the lower support plate, then connect all the lower plates to
a single earthing system. Electrostatic charges accumulated because of the product rubbing against
the pipes and the weighed container walls are discharged to the ground without going through or
damaging the load cells. Failure to implement a proper earthing system might not affect the
operation of the weighing system; this, however, does not rule out the possibility that the cells and
connected instrument may become damaged in the future. It is forbidden to ensure earthing system
continuity by using metal parts contained in the weighed structure.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED

LOAD CELL INPUT TEST (QUICK ACCESS)
From the weight display, press ▲for 3 seconds; the response signal of the load cells is displayed,
expressed in mV with four decimals.
LOAD CELL TESTING
Load cell resistance measurement (use a digital multimeter):
-Disconnect the load cells from the instrument and check that there is no moisture in the cell
junction box caused by condensation or water infiltration. If so, drain the system or replace it if
necessary.
-The value between the positive signal wire and the negative signal wire must be equal or similar
to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (output resistance).
-The value between the positive excitation wire and the negative excitation wire must be equal or
similar to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (input resistance).
-The insulation value between the shield and any other cell wire and between any other cell wire
and the body of the load cell must be higher than 20 Mohm.
Load cell voltage measurement (use a digital multimeter):
-Take out the load cell to be tested from underneath the container, or alternatively, lift the
container support.
-Make sure that the excitation of two wires of the load cell connected to the instrument (or
amplifier) is 5 VDC ±3%.
-Measure the response signal between the positive and the negative signal wires by directly
connecting them to the tester, and make sure that it is comprised between 0 and 0.5 mV.
-Apply load to the cell and make sure that there is a signal increment.
IF ONE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS IS NOT MET, PLEASE CONTACT THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE SERVICE.

INTRODUCTION TO THE OPERATION
The instrument is able to load automatically a settable amount of product on the weighing structure,
driving the batching organ (including two-speed) through the PRESET and SET contacts.
The instrument has the following features:
-Maximum 99 settable formulas (see section FORMULAS PROGRAMMING);
-Batching resume after blackout (see section RESUME BATCHING AFTER A POWER CUT);
-Automatic fall calculation (see section FALL);
-Autotare at batching start (see section AUTOTARE);
-Tolerance error control (see section TOLERANCE);
-Precision batching through slow function (see section SLOW);
-Precision batching through tapping function (see section TAPPING FUNCTION);
-Consumption storage (see section CONSUMPTION);
-Print of batching data (see section PRINT AT CYCLE END);
-Alarm contact (see section ALARM RELAY CLOSURE);
BATCHING START:
-via keypad, setting formula and cycle number to be performed;
-via external contact (see section BATCHING START FROM EXTERNAL CONTACT).
For further information on the batching sequence, see section BATCHING.
CONSUMPTION STORAGE:
The instrument, at the end of every batching, stores the consumed amount for each formula.
Consumption value can be viewed directly on instrument display in standby mode.
INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION:
The instrument calibration can be performed both with THEORETICAL CALIBRATION, setting the
instrument full scale and the load cells sensitivity (see section THEORETICAL CALIBRATION), and
with REAL CALIBRATION through SAMPLE WEIGHT (see section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH
SAMPLE WEIGHTS)).
ALARM MANAGEMENT:
If an alarm occurs during the batching, the instrument shows the alarm on the display, closes the
related contact (if enable) and waits for operator intervention to abort or continue the batching.

THEORETICAL CALIBRATION
This function allows the load cell rated values to be set.
To perform the theoretical calibration set the following parameters in sequence:
- (default: ): The system full scale is given by one cell capacity multiplied by the
number of cells used. Example: 4 cells of 1000 kg FULL SCALE = 1000 x 4 = 4000.
The instrument is supplied with a theoretical full scale value  corresponding to 10000. To
restore factory values, set 0 as full scale.
- (default: 2.00000 mV/V): Sensitivity is a load cell rated parameter expressed in mV/V.
Set the average sensitivity value indicated on the load cells. It’s possible to set a value between
0.50000 and 7.00000 mV/V. Example of 4-cell system with sensitivity: 2.00100, 2.00150,
2.00200, 2.00250; enter 2.00175, calculated as (2.00100 + 2.00150 + 2.00200 + 2.00250) / 4.
-: The division (resolution) is the minimum weight increment value which can be
displayed. It is automatically calculated by the system according to the performed calibration, so
that it is equal to 1/10000 of full scale. It can be changed and be variable between 0.0001 and
100 with x1 x2 x5 x10 increments.
-By modifying the theoretical full scale, the sensitivity or divisions, the real calibration is
cancelled and the theoretical calibration only is considered valid.
-If the theoretical full scale and the recalculated full scale in real calibration (see section
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)) are equal, this means that the
calibration currently in use is theoretical; if they are different, the calibration in use is the
real calibration based on sample weights.
-By modifying the theoretical full scale, the sensitivity or divisions and all the system’s
parameters containing a weight value will be set to default values.

TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING
This menu may also be accessed directly from the weight display, holding down the
key for 3 seconds.
Perform this procedure after having set the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION data.
Use this function to set to zero the weight of the empty system after commissioning and then later
on to compensate zero variations due to the presence of product residues.
Procedure:
-Confirm the message  by pressing ENTER.
-The weight value to be set to zero is displayed. In this phase all of the LEDs are flashing.
-Confirming once again, the weight is set to zero (the value is stored to the permanent memory).
-Press ▲to display the value of the total weight reset by the instrument, given by the sum of all
of the previous zero settings.
ZERO VALUE MANUAL ENTRY
WARNING: Perform this procedure only if it’s not possible to reset the weighed structure tare, for
example because it contains product that can not be unloaded.
Set in this parameter the estimated zero value (from 0 to max 999999; default: 0).

REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
After having performed the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION and TARE WEIGHT ZERO
SETTING, this function allows correct calibration to be done using sample weights of known
value and, if necessary, any deviations of the indicated value from the correct value to be
corrected.
Load onto the weighing system a sample weight, which must be at least 50% of the maximum
quantity to be weighed.
By confirming the message  the flashing value of the weight currently on the system is
displayed. In this phase all of the LEDs are off. Adjust the value on display by using the arrow keys if
necessary. After confirming, the new set weight will appear with all the LEDs flashing.
After an additional confirmation, the message  will be restored and by repeatedly pressing
the key ESC the weight will once again be displayed.
Example: for a system of maximum capacity 1000 kg and 1 kg division, two sample weights are
available, one of 500 kg and the other one of 300 kg. Load both weights onto the system and correct
the indicated weight to 800. Now remove the 300 kg weight, the system must show 500; remove the
500 kg weight, too; the system must read zero. If this does not happen, it means that there is a
mechanical problem affecting the system linearity.
WARNING: identify and correct any mechanical problems before repeating the procedure.
-If theoretical full scale and recalculated full scale in real calibration are equal, it means
that the theoretical calibration is currently in use; otherwise, the real calibration based
on sample weights is in use.
-If the correction made changes the previous full scale for more than 20%, all the
parameters with settable weight values are reset to default values.
LINEARISATION OPTION ON MAX 5 POINTS:
It is possible to perform a linearisation of the weight repeating the above-described
procedure up to a maximum of five points, using five different sample weights. The
procedure ends by pressing the ESC button or after entering the fifth value; at this point it will
no longer be possible to change the calibration value, but only to perform a new real calibration. To
perform a new calibration, should return to the weight display and then re-entering into the
calibration menu.
By pressing ▲after having confirmed the sample weight that has been set, the full scale appears,
recalculated according to the value of the maximum sample weight entered and making reference to
the cell sensitivity set in the theoretical calibration ().
