3.Installation
3.1. Introduction
The following steps are required to set up the indicator.
•Inspect indicator to ensure good condition.
•Use connection diagrams to wire up load cell, power and
auxiliary cables as required.
•Use the drilling template provided for hole locations.
•Connect Power to indicator and press <POWER> key to
turn the instrument ON.
•Refer to the Instrument Setup section page 15 for
information on configuring and calibrating the instrument.
•To turn instrument OFF press and hold <POWER> key for
three seconds (until display blanks).
3.2. General Warnings
•Indicator not to be subject to shock, excessive vibration or
extremes of temperature (before or after installation).
•Inputs are protected against electrical interference, but
excessive levels of electro-magnetic radiation and RFI
may affect the accuracy and stability.
•For full EMC or for RFI immunity, termination of cable
shields and correct earthing of the instrument is essential.
•Indicator and load cell cable are sensitive to excessive
electrical noise. Install well clear of any power or switching
circuits.
3.2.1. Electrical Safety
•For your protection all mains electrical hardware must be
rated for environmental conditions of use.
•Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily
accessible power socket outlet.

Quick Start - Software Version 1.x & 2.x
Page 6 004R-615-120
•To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the
instrument, always switch off or isolate the instrument from
the power supply before maintenance is carried out.
3.3. Panel Mount Template
The panel mount template is supplied with the instrument. It
shows the location of the rectangular cut-out and the four
mounting screws.
3.4. Function Keys
•The indicator has 3 user definable functions keys.
•Special function overlay stickers are supplied. Affix to
matching special function key if used.
•Ensure keypad is clean and dry before affixing sticker.
3.5. Optical Communications
A temporary infrared communications link can be established
between the instrument and a PC using an optional opto-link
cable. This connection can be used to transfer setup and
calibration information from a PC or to download indicator
software upgrades.
The PC end of the cable is a standard female DB9 RS232 or
USB connector. The instrument end of the cable attaches to
the left side of the instrument display.
WARNING
The optical coupling head contains a strong magnet and
should not be placed near any magnetic storage media
(e.g. credit cards, floppy disks etc.)

4. Connections
4.1. Cable Connections
All cable connections are made to the rear of the instrument
using pluggable screw terminals. It is not necessary to tin the
ends of the wires with solder or to add crimp ferrules to the
wires, but these techniques are compatible with the terminals.
4.2. DC Power (DC PWR +, DC PWR –)
The DC supply need not be regulated, provided that it is free of
excessive electrical noise and sudden transients. The
instrument can be operated from a high quality plug-pack as
long as there is sufficient capacity to drive both it and the load
cells.
4.3. Load Cell Connection
4.3.1. Load Cell Signals
Very low output scale bases may be used but may induce
some instability in the weight readings when used with higher
resolutions. Generally speaking, the higher the output, or the
lower the number of divisions, the greater the display stability
and accuracy.
The instrument can display the mV/V reading
(H.WARE:LC.HW:MVV) which can be used to check scale
base signal output levels. The instrument may be connected
for either 4-wire or 6–wire operation. Use 4-wire when external
SENSE connections are not available.

Quick Start - Software Version 1.x & 2.x
Page 8 004R-615-120
4.3.2. 4-Wire Connection
The minimum connectivity requirements are the connection of
four wires (i.e. ±Excitation and ±Signal). Internally the
instrument has a precision analogue switch that can be used
to connect the Sense+ and Sense– lines directly to the
Excitation+ and Excitation– lines.
Any addition to the load cell manufacturer's cable length using
4-wire connection is only recommended for short cable runs.
Where long additions to cable lengths are needed, a 6-wire
extension is required.
The SCALE:BUILD:CABLE option must be set to 4-WIRE to
allow for 4-wire connection.
