I. General Description:

The Model 4042-ECO™ and 4042WB-ECO™ Secondary Spill Containment Scale is designed

specifically as an economical spill containment scale. Scale has a rugged backstop with

diameter gage to assist in centering container on the scale. The scale is able to be pivoted up

for cleaning underneath, and access to the spill containment base, and then the base may be

pivoted back down into position easily. The four conductor shielded cable required can be run

through conduit to a location within 200 ft. from the base. A current output signal of 4-20 mA,

0-20 mA, or +12 mA, - 8 mA, is standard. It is also selectable as active, or passive. There are

two independently adjustable dry contacts for use as low level alarm, or automatic dialer

equipment, as required. The printed circuit board contains a power supply section and

separate zero and span controls. The weighmeter electronics are housed in a NEMA 4X, UL

approved fiberglass enclosure.

Power: 120 Volt, 50/60 Hz single phase, 0.5 amps. 240 Volt available with jumpers on board.

Dimensions: 35.00” deep maximum x 30.25” wide maximum x 11.13” high approximate.

Bladder model extends the width dimension +6.00”. See deployment area for bladder below.

III. Assembly and Start-Up:

The set up procedure is as follows:

1. Locate a solid, relatively level spot on the floor to install scale platform. Clean all debris

that may interfere with scale clearance. Use the adjustable load cell leveling foot to level

the base unit from front to back, and tighten the nut against the cell to prevent movement.

VERY IMPORTANT: If you are using the Model 4042WB-ECO™, make sure that expandable

bladder has room and clearance to expand without coming into contact with any other objects

that may cause a leak or obstruct proper expansion of the bladder!!!

2. If conduit is used, about 2’ of horizontal, flexible conduit should be connected horizontally to

frame before using rigid conduit.

3. The scale is calibrated at the factory with certified test weights and should not need

calibrating when installing!

4. Mount digital indicator to wall and attach conduit for load cell cable and output signals as

required.

5. Connect load cell cable from load cell, or junction box, to TB-1 as follows:

TB1: 1: Low Level set pt. 1 (REED relay, contact closure to pin 2: common)

2: Common

3: Low Level set pt. 2 (REED relay, contact closure to pin 2: common)

12: +Signal (GREEN)

*Make 4-20mA connections at this location. Determine if 4-20 mA signal is to be scale

powered, or if it is loop powered (powered by SCADA or PLC). Refer to page 5, Jumper

labeled J-4 for proper settings of scale or loop powered 4-20mA.

Note: If sense leads are used from load cell to indicator, jumpers J-5 & J-6 must be cut on the

3000™ PC board. If sense leads are not required, then jumpers must be installed. Sense

leads are only required if the distance between scale base and digital indicator is in excess of

100’.

IV. General Use Instructions:

Please refer to these instructions for daily use of this scale. These instructions simulate the

procedure for every day usage.

ON AND OFF LOADING USAGE:

To start with a new, FULL tank that will be loaded on & off, please follow these steps:

Please choose a method of usage by Tare or Net Weight:

TARE: You must know the weight of your empty tank, and any other equipment mounted on

to the tank that will affect the weight. Add this weight together, and turn the black tare knob on

the front of the indicator until it reads that number in the negative. Turn the knob counter-

clockwise in order to achieve negative numbers. Once that negative tare weight is set, you

may load the tank, and apply other equipment on that tank. The weight that registers on the

scale indicator is the NET WEIGHT, or weight of the contents. At this point you will not change

the black tare knob unless you are loading on a new tank. As you use the contents, the weight

decreases. When the tank is at zero, or close to it, you will begin again by removing the empty

tank, setting the tare weight with the black knob (for the new tank + equipment), and begin

using the material again.

NET: If you do not know the tare weight (it is not stamped on the tank), you may know the Net

Weight (contents in the tank). If this is the case, you will use this procedure:

Load on your full tank and attach any equipment that affects the weight on the scale. Turn the

black tare knob on the front of the indicator until it reads the known NET WEIGHT (weight of

contents only) on the indicator. Clockwise will increase the readings and counter-clockwise

will decrease the readings. When the weight is set for the contents in the tank, do not adjust

this again until you load on a new tank. The reading will decrease until you have used all the

contents in the cylinder, where it will read 0 lb./kg. Start a new tank by removing the old empty

tank, loading on a new full tank, and attaching equipment, and set tare knob to Net weight

again.

For use when FILLING the TANK instead of on & off loading:

To start with a new, EMPTY tank that will be filled while on the scale base, please follow

these steps:

Load the new, empty tank on to the platform. With this weight applied, turn the black tare knob

located on the outside, front of the indicator, until the digital reading says zero. This means

that your digital reading will show net weight, or the weight of the contents alone. As you fill

the tank for the first time, the scale shows the current weight at all times. Do not readjust the

tare weight unless you are starting with a dry, new, empty tank. Any residual weight will reflect

what is left in the tank, and should not be changed unless a new tank is put on the base.

V. Calibration Procedure:

The Model 4042-ECO™and Model 4042WB-ECO™ Secondary Spill Containment Scale is

pre-calibrated at the factory to within specified accuracy and is calibrated to standards

traceable to the Bureau of Weights and Measures. No further calibration should be necessary.

If the electronics or load cells in the base are replaced, the following calibration procedure

should be used.

1. Once scale is leveled with no weight on scale, it is ready for calibration. Turn black knob

(tare pot) on front panel fully clockwise, then turn back counter-clockwise one full turn. (This

will assure enough tare adjustment when calibration is completed.) Adjust SW-B zero switches

1-6 and R-25 to obtain a zero reading on digital display. Do not move shorting pin on J-8

unless SW-B 1-6 and R-25 adjustments cannot reach a zero reading. J-8 will reverse the

adjustment polarity and thus double the range of the adjustments.

2. After a zero reading is obtained a known weight (such as a certified test weight) should be

placed on the scale.

Note: Calibration is done at the factory and should only need adjustment of R-12, or slight

switch change to set span to desired weight.

Wait for a minute so a reading can be obtained. Adjust R-12 or SW-A 1-6 span switches to

obtain gross weight desired.

3. Adjustment of span interacts with the zero setting previously made and Step (1) must be

repeated, followed by the repeat of Step (2) until both readings remain correct with weight on

or off scale without adjustment.

4. Analog output is selectable as scale powered, or loop powered. If scale is to supply the

power for the loop, J-4 must be in the “S” (scale) position. The 4-20 mA output will be

available at TB-1 Terminal 5 & 6. (5= -) & (6= +) 220 Ohm load max.

If the device connected to the scale is to supply power for the loop, then the jumper, J-4 must

be in the “L” (loop) position and the signal will be available at TB-1 terminals 4 (common) and 5

(1+). (220 Ohm load at 15 VDC, or 440 Ohm load at 30 VDC max.)

Note: Output is selectable as 4-20 mA, 0-20 mA, or +12 mA, -8 mA, with jumper, J-7. Two

pins closest to R-43 are for 0-20 mA, two center pins are for 4-20 mA, and the two pins farthest

from R-43 are for +12mA, -8mA.

5. Connect device to be connected to output terminals required. Install milliamp meter in loop

to measure current.

6. Adjust R-43 for full load setting. (No load should be correct when digital indicator is reading

“0”).

7. Two set points are available for contact closure at two different points in range of scale.

Use R-59 to adjust SP 1, and R-56 to adjust SP 2. SP 1 is available at TB 1 terminal 1 and 2.

SP 2 is available at TB 1 terminal 2 and 3. Relay rated for 12 VDC 1.5 amp maximum load.

(Contacts are closed below set point.)
