POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
When the load cell and the scoreboard display have been fitted and wired correctly,
switch on the power supply.
Once the power supply is switched on, the scoreboard displays the model reference
(e.g.HF 87/1) for 2 seconds, during which time the alarms are triggered and the
safety relays reversed.
Then, it displays a value in weight units. This value will only be correct after the
system has been calibrated). ( See page 14 )
Carry the test function out.

The calibration has been successfully achieved.
REMARK : This calibration is recommended for weight estimation applications.
Basic calibration set the "zero point" corresponding to no load and a "maximum point" corresponding
to the well-known load.
Between those two points a « theoretical » straight line fixes the intermediary points, friction and
mechanical efficiency may lead to some linearity faults.
When high accuracy is required, complete the basic set up with : high accuracy calibration SET L.

MS 87/./. R 03/03 11
HIGH ACCURACY CALIBRATION : SET. L
In order to increase the accuracy of the installation it could be appropriated to optimise the linearity
of the weighing system by forcing the display to show accurate pre-set points along the scale.
Several points (maximum 10) could be forced and thereby optimise the linearity.
Those points could be either uniformly spread from the “0” up to the maximum crane capacity or
concentrated on a specific range of value, where the higher accuracy is required.
Pre-set points modify not only the points values but the accuracy correction polynomial as well.
Generally three intermediary points are enough to increase significantly the weighing performance.
WARNING : This part of the menu is only workable after having successfully achieved the
SETUP 4 basic functions. From NUL (line 7) to POId (line 36).

Equipment required :
x As many intermediate points load as required accurate preset points.
HIGH ACCURACY CALIBRATION : SET. L
At each forced point corresponds a well-known load, e.g. if you want to set 3 forced points, you will
need 3 well-known loads identified as P1 ( point 1) for the first load, P2 ( point 2) for the second load
and so on…
x Lift load P1 and note the value showed on the display e.g. 1355 ( The displayed value will
probably NOT match perfectly the actual value of this load e.g. 1390).
x Lift load P2 and note the value showed on the display e.g. 4235. (Idem, e.g. 4210)
x Lift load P3 and note the value showed on the display e.g. 6410. ( Idem, e.g. 6425)

- Adjustable to any point within the nominal capacity.
- Control the 'HI'. Relay.
- Value in weigh unit.
- Takes account of the dynamic effect damper.

- Does not take account of the dynamic effect damper.
S-LO : - Intermediate trip point.
- Control the 'LO'. Relay.
- Adjustable to any point within the nominal capacity but lower than S-HI.
- Could be configured ( Set-up n°1 REL ) to detect :
- Intermediate trip point REL- HI
- Slack wire rope detection REL- LO
- Takes account of the dynamic effect damper.
Hysteresis S-LO : Gap value between triggering and reset of the 'LO' relay.
- e.g. S-LO 5000 Kg hysteresis LO 500 Kg
REL=HI : Triggering LO relay at 5000 Kg, reset at 4500 Kg.
REL=LO : Triggering LO relay at 5000 Kg, reset at 5500 Kg.
Hysteresis S-H I : Gap value between triggering and reset of the 'HI' relay.
- e.g. S-HI 7000 Kg hysteresis HI 1000 Kg

- Calculation of the real value of the load compared to its undulatory value
may be carried out from a greater or lesser figure. The greater the sampling the
more complex and precise the calculation. On the other hand the reaction of the
relays will be longer

AUTOMATIC SETTING OF SAFETY TRIP POINT
AND INTERMEDIATE TRIP POINT
Essential conditions :
x THE TEST OPERATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT (page 7 )
x The relay (rEL) is set by default in « HI » (page 16)
Equipment required :
x A load (Load n°1) equivalent to the value of the intermediate trip point S-LO.
x A load (Load n° 2) equivalent to 100 % of the working load limit of the system. (e.g 10 T).

ZERO AND GAIN ADJUSTMENT
General information :
x Load cell are adjusted from factory and put out a frequency signal of 7500 Hz at there nominal
capacity and 500 Hz without any load. ( the first 500 hertz indicates the well functioning of the
system )
x Some load cell due to the sheaving mode are not stressed at there nominal capacity. e.g. 50%. In
this case the frequency will only reach 3000 hz. This could reduce drastically the signal resolution.
x In order to reach the higher resolution as possible, for instance when load cell is used in weigh
control application, It could be convenient to optimize the signal range.
This will be carried out by "zero" and "gain" (span) potentiometers adjustment.
Essential conditions :
x THE TEST OPERATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT.
x No load on the cell.
x Display in frequency mode ( press Ø)
Equipment required :
x A load equivalent to 100 % if the working load limit of the lifting system.
Procedure :
DISPLAY ACTIONS COMMENT.
1 . 650 Load cell out put signal in frequency (e.g.)
2 . 650 Set the zero With the "ZERO" potentiometer , reduce the signal to
0 hz (+2- 0)
3 . . . 1
4 Lift the load
5 3500
Frequency out put signal before dajustment. e.g.
6
7000 "GAIN"
adjustment
With the "GAIN" potentiometer , increase the signal
to 7000 Hertz.
When 7000 hz are not reachable adjust as higher as
possible.
7 Put load down
8 . . 27 Load cell out put signal in frequency (e.g.)
9
. 500 "ZERO"
adjustment
With the "ZERO" potentiometer , increase the signal
to 500 Hertz..
If necessary repeat the process till get 500 hz with no
load and about 7500 hz ( or the reachable maximum)
with the nominal load.
End of the process.
Proceed with SET – UP N° 4, N°1 or N°2
