Safety First ..............Don't assume anything............. Always double check.
If in doubt, ask someone who is QUALIFIED to assist you in the subject.
Warnings
Please carefully read this manual and all warnings. Install the display ONLY when you are sure
that you’ve covered all aspects.
Where the product is intended for “UL” installations, removal or
addition of option boards is not permitted.
Check that the model number and supply voltage suit your application before
you install the display.
Connect the display according to current IEE regulations, IEC61010 &
NFPA:70 National Electric Code in USA.
Power supplies to this equipment must have anti-surge (T) fuses rated at 1A for
230V supply, 2A for 110V supply, 5A for 48VAC or 10A for DC supplies in the range 11-
30VDC.
Don’t touch any circuitry after you have connected the display, because there may be
lethal voltages on the circuit board.
Do not apply power to the display if its case is open.
Only adjust on-board switches or connections with the power turned off
Make sure all screw terminals are tight before you switch the meter on.
Only clean the display’s case and window with a soft damp cloth. Only lightly dampen
with water. Do not use any other solvents.

General Description
This series of displays accepts industrial sensors to allow various physical measurements to
be made, such a weight, temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Different models are available
for different sensor types.
The main function of this series is to give a clear numeric readout of the variable being
monitored. Most models include an excitation power output, to power the sensor directly.
Various digit heights are available, to suit the maximum viewing distance required in each
installation. For every 10 metres of viewing distance required, use 1” of digit height.
Various optional output modules are also available to give alarm relay outputs, analogue
output or digital communications, or any combination of these options.
Displays are programmed using front panel pushbuttons. The front panel buttons can be
disabled. In addition, you can connect 4 remote wired pushbuttons to the display, so that you
can make adjustments while the display is mounted in an inaccessible location.
Power supply options : 100-240 VAC, 48VAC or 11-30VDC
These displays must be installed fully assembled, and must be installed according to local
electrical installation rules.
When properly installed, and provided they have been ordered with cable glands exiting the
lower surface of the case, they provide ingress protection to IP65 / NEMA4X fromall directions.
Safety
Obey all safety warnings in this manual, and install the display according to local wiring and
installation regulations. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause damage to the display,
connected equipment, or may be harmful to personnel.
Any moving mechanical device controlled by this equipment must have suitable access guards
to prevent injury to personnel if the display should fail.

Caution: There is a risk of electrical
shock if this display is not properly installed

Installation hints for best performance
This section offers several suggestions which will help you get the best performance from
your weighing system.
Loadcells create very small signals which can easily be corrupted by electrical noise. These
steps will ensure you get the best possible performance from your meter.
1. Use good quality screened signal cable, with 3 twisted pairs. Belden 8777NH,
Belden 9503 and AlphaWire 6010C are good choices, available from many
electrical distributors.
2. Even if your loadcell is only a 4 wire device, we recommend you use 6 core cable
between the display and the loadcell, and wire as shown in the diagram opposite.
This will ensure that any resistance changes in your cabling, caused by changes
in temperature, will be cancelled.
3. Each pair should be dedicated to a signal function as shown opposite, for maximum
noise immunity. (One twisted pair for Excitation, one twisted pair for Sense, one
twisted pair for Signal) This will ensure that any electrical noise induced in the
cable is properly cancelled. Mixing functions carelessly amongst the twisted pairs
can actually worsen noise performance.
4. The cable should be routed away from noisy wiring and devices such as power
feeds from inverters, discharge-lighting cables, welder cabling etc, and should
preferrably be routed in a dedicated low voltage signalling/instrumentation conduit
or cable tray.
5. Screened cable should be earthed at the display end only.
6. All wires and screens coming out of the screened cable should be kept as short
as possible to minimise pickup of noise.
7. If you are using barriers, you should earth your screen as shown below, paying
particular care that you do not earth both ends of any run of of cable.NB If using
galvanic isolation barriers, connect 10K from terminal 2 to terminal 3 and 10K
from terminal 3 to terminal 5 on the display’s Sig. Input connector to maintain the
input signal within the common mode range of the excitation sense circuit.

Meter Calibration Modes
You can choose from two main calibration methods.
1. Direct Calibration - this is when you connect the meter to your system and
make the meter read what you want it to, at 2 different points. This is the preferred
calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.
2. Theoretical Calibration - this is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical
signal level at the bottom and top of itsrange and then type in the value the
display should show, for each signal level.

Linearisation with Direct Calibration
If your system is non linear, you can calibrate the meter and correct for this with the
lineariser function.
You will need to apply a series of known loads, starting at 0 and working up to full scale. You
will then tell the meter what it should read for each applied load. You can use up to 10
points.
