!!WARNING!!
For the ATEX weight indicator version it is COMPULSORY to read and understand the ATEX
ATTACHMENT in the user manual (USER MAN.REF.) containing important warnings.
1. REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EFFECTIVE INSTALLATION
To obtain the best results it is recommended to install the indicator and the platform (or transducer) in a place with
the following conditions (for ATEX version refers to the corresponding attachment in user manual):
•Stable and vibration free
•Moderate temperature and humidity (15-30°C and 40-7 0%).
•No dust or strong vapours
•No draughts
•Mains power supply is restricted to within ± 10% of the rated voltage
•Make sure the platform is level or that the loading cells are resting evenly
•Avoid welding with load cells installed.
•When the load cells are used with assembling kits under storage bins or the like,
connect the upper and lower supporting plate with a copper wire cable and then earth
all the upper plates.
•Use waterproof sheaths and couplings in order to protect the load cell cables.
•Use a waterproof junction box to connect the cells.
•The extension leads of the load cells or signal amplifiers must be screened. In
addition they must be laid on their own in a raceway or metal pipe as far away as
possible from the power supply cables.
•Connection of the cell or amplifier cables on the electrical panel shall be independent
and, if possible, connected directly to the indicator’s terminal board without laying
other cables in the raceway.
•Install "RC" filters on the contactor coils, on the solenoid valves and on all devices
producing electric disturbances.
•If it is possible that condensation could form inside the weight transmitter it is
advisable to leave the instrument powered at all times.
•Electric protections (fuses etc.) are provided by the technician installing the
instrument.
•Do not install anywhere where there is the risk of explosion.

2. CONNECTION TO THE LOAD RECEIVER
2.1 DGT and DGT60 Models
After having followed the instructions regarding the platform or the load receiver, the screened cable leading from the
load cell(s) must be connected to the instrument terminal board(s) (from CELL1 up to CELL4, see paragraph 11
"CONNECTION SCHEME") through the relative input(s) ( see paragraph "INSTALLATION", USER MAN. REF.).
The CELL1 terminal board of the indicator may be connected to the 6 wire load receiver (with use of SENSE),
instead for CELL2, CELL3 and CELL4 it’s allowed only the 4 wire connection.
The sense allows compensating for any drops in voltage in the part of the cable that connects the instrument to the
transducer. It is useful when the distance between the indicator and the transducer is greater than 10 m.
!! IMPORTANT !!
•If one wants to use 4 wires in the CELL 1 terminal board (without using the SENSE signal), one should short
circuit SEN with EXC and +SEN with +EXC.
•When there are 6 wire cells:
1. the SENSE is managed exclusively in systems with just one cell, connected to the CELL1 terminal board; in
these applications, open the J1 and J2 jumpers (Mod. DGTQ)
2. in sistems with various cells, the SENSE is not managed, therefore for each cell:
Shortcircuit the +SENSE wire with the +EXC wire and the –SENSE wire with the –EXC wire; otherwise one
may leave the SENSE wires unconnected.
Close the J1 and J2 jumpers.

2.2 DGTQ Model
After having followed the instructions regarding the platform or the load receiver, the screened cable leading from the
load cell(s) must be connected to the instrument through the CELL1 terminal board or the C1, C2, C3, C4 connector
see paragraph 11 "CONNECTION SCHEME", through the relative input(s) ( see paragraph "INSTALLATION", USER
MAN. REF.).
The CELL1 terminal board of the indicator may be connected to the 6 wire load receiver (with use of SENSE), or
simply 4 wire; for this, through jumper J1 and J2 (normaly closed) it is possible to choose whether to short circuit the
SENSE with the POWER SUPPLY (jumpers closed) or not (jumpers open).
The sense allows compensating for any drops in voltage in the part of the cable that connects the instrument to the
transducer. It is useful when the distance between the indicator and the transducer is greater than 10 m.
The 4 pin C1, C2, C3 e C4 connectors instead allow just the 4 wire connection.
!! IMPORTANT !!
•If one wants to use 4 wires in the CELL 1 terminal board or in the C1 connector (without using the SENSE
signal), one should short circuiting SEN with EXC and +SEN with +EXC by closing the J1 and J2 jumpers.
•When there are 6 wire cells:
1) the SENSE is managed exclusively in systems with just one cell, connected to the CELL1 terminal board; in
these applications, open the J1 and J2 jumpers.
2) in sistems with various cells, the SENSE is not managed, therefore for each cell:

2.4 EARTHING SYSTEM
For the right earthing and the optimal functioning of the system, it is necessary to ground the indicator, load cells,
eventual junction box, and the weighing structure.
INDICATOR
Ground terminal 2 (GND) using a copper cable with a section not less than 16 mm
2
.
LOAD CELLS AND JUNCTION BOX
-In the case the load cells are connected to the indicator through a junction box, it is necessary to connect the
sheathing both of cells cables and of indicator cable to the earthing of the junction box (refer to the junction box
manual) and connect this to the earth through copper cables having at least a 16 mm
2
cross section.
-If the load cells are directly connected to the indicator (without the junction box), it is necessary to ground the
sheathing of the cell cables using copper cables having at least a 16 mm2 cross section.
Moreover in both cases it is required to:
Connect the upper side of every cells to the lower side using a copper braid having at least 16 mm2 cross
section; the upper side must be short circuited with the surface of the weighing structure and the lower one
must be connected to the earth using a copper braid having at least 16 mm2 cross section.
Use Earth plate of suitable length, in order to obtain a total resistance of earthing plant lower than 1 Ω.
WEIGHING STRUCTURE
Connect the weighing structure and the possible connected structures (for example silos that release material on the
weighing structure) to the earth through copper cables having at least a 16 mm
2
cross section.
NOTES:
In the case the weighing system regards great and/or outdoor structures, the cross section must be greather
(for example 50 mm2), because the voltage into play is greather (for example thunderbolts).
In order to avoid possible undesired effects, if there are other shielded cable connected to the indicator (for
instance, PC cable) the shield should be earthing only on the cable termination towards the indicator.
Every shielded cable or not (for instance PC cable, cell cable, power supply cable) connected to the indicator
should be as shorter as possible, then you have to come out of the shield the minimum length of cable, go
three round around a ferrite ring and then connect to the terminal box.
If the indicator is situated inside an electric panel, the power supply cable should be a shielded cable as
shorter as possible, distant from every coil supply cable, inverter, electromotive force, etc. and in addition
dedicate an uncoupler transformer in order to feed the indicator only.

3. SETUP ENVIRONMENT
With "SETUP ENVIRONMENT" we intend a specific menu, inside which it’s possible to set all the functioning
parameters of the indicator.
To enter it, turn on the instrument and, while the firmware version is displayed , press the TARE key for an
instant.
The indicator shows the first parameter "tYPE".
NOTE: THE METROLOGICAL PARAMETERS of the SETUP ARE normally NOT ENABLED and therefore are just
displayed.
To enable them, open the instrument and activate the special micro switch (see paragraph 11 "CONNECTIONS
SCHEMES") and then turn it on.
Functions assumed by the keys in the SET-UP ENVIRONMENT:
ZERO Scrolls the programming steps forward in sequence.
If one needs to enter a numeric value, this decreases the digit to be modified (blinking).
TARE Allows to scroll backwards through the programming steps.
In the case in which one enters a numeric value, the selected digit (blinking) increases.
MODE Allows to quickly position on the first step of a menu.
In the case in which one needs to enter a numeric value, select the digit to be modified
(blinking) from left to right.
PRINT Allows to enter a step or confirm a parameter inside a step.
C-ON OFF Allows to exit a step without confirming the possibly modified parameter and go to the
preceding level.
When entering a numeric value it quickly zeros the displayed value.
The display indicates the abbreviation of the step whose meaning is described below. The values indicated
with the (!) symbol at the end of the step, are values set by DEFAULT.
TO EXIT THE SET-UP ENVIRONMENT, PRESS THE C - ON OFF KEY MANY TIMES UNTIL THE INDICATOR
SHOWS "SAVE? IN THE DISPLAY: CONFIRM WITH PRINT TO SAVE ANY CHANGES MADE OR PRESS
ANOTHER KEY TO NOT SAVE.

NOTES:
For the functioning details, refer to section 8 "SELECTABLE FUNCTIONING MODES", USER MAN.REF.
Once the functioning mode is selected, if there’s a printer, the standard printout relative to the printer selected in
the SEtuP >> SErIAL >> Com.Prn >> PrMODE parameter will automatically be enabled. One can load the
default parameters by executing the default of the selected printout (see section 8 )
•Scr.SAv: SCREEN SAVER (§)
If the indicator has the date/time option, it is possible to enable the "Screen Saver" function: after a programmable
time (from 1 to 255 minutes) that the scale is unloaded, the time is shown on the display, in the "HH MM.SS"
format. As soon as a weight variation is detected, or a key is pressed, the indicator displays the current weight
once again.

WEi.PoS REMOTE SCALE WEIGHT POSITION
In this step one sets the position of the first character of the weight value, in the string transmitted by the
remote scale, knowing that the first character on the left of the string has the 00 position.
A possible character sign is also part of the weight value.
For example, if the received string is spppppppuu + CR + LF:
Received string s p p p p p p p u u CR LF
Position of the
character 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11
Therefore one should set the 00 value.
It is possible to set up to 2 characters (from 0 to 39).
(!) 00
WEi.LEn LENGTH OF THE WEIGHT DATA STRING
In this step one enters the number of digits (from 1 to 39) which make up the weight value, including the
sign and the non significant digits (for example, if the transmitted string spppppppuu + CR + LF, in
which s is the weight sign, ppppppp is the weight value, uu is the unit of measure, one should set the
08 value).
Str.LEn LENGTH OF THE COMPLETE STRING
In this step one enters the number of digits (from 0 to 39) which make up the entire string transmitted
from the serial line scale, less the terminator character (for example, if the transmitted string is
spppppppuu + CR + LF, in which s is the weight sign, ppppppp is the weight value, uu is the unit of
measure, one should set the value 11).
(!) 01
dECi. REMOTE SCALE DIVISIONS
Enter the number of scale’s decimals (from 0 to 5).

The two following parameters allow to generate the weight stability communicated by the remote scale
and allow to manage the stability LEDs on the indicator:
StAb NUMBER OF READINGS PER STABILITY
Enter the number of consecutive readings which the indicator must consider to obtain the stability (2
characters, from 0 to 20).
(!) 03
StA.int WEIGHT DIFFERENCE PER STABILITY
Enter the maximum value (2 characters, from 0 to 20) of the difference between the weights of the
consecutive readings, set in the previous step.
If the weight difference between the readings is equal or less than the set value, the weight is
considered to be stable (stability LED off), otherwise the weight is considered to be unstable (stability
LED on).
