AD-4404 Page 5
 2. Outline and Features
The AD-4404 indicator is designed for checking and/or selecting the weight of
products carried on conveyors. The indicator has five weighing modes and a
selection function to classify 5 levels of weight. As a check weighing example, there is
a check weighing application, using a foreign matter detector.

Large display
The indicator has a blue vacuum fluorescent display (VFD).
The character height of the main display is 18 mm.
Current weighing data, names, setpoints (comparison references) and total data are
displayed at the same time.

Water-resistant panel
The classification code of the front panel is equivalent to IP-65 of IEC 529 using the
accessory rubber packing. The "IP-65" code is explained as follows:
IP: International Protection.
6: Against ingress of solid foreign objects.
Dust-tight. No ingress of dust.
5: Against ingress of water with harmful effects.
Protected against water jets (no powerful jets). Water projected in jets against
the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.

Operation guidance
Messages that assist current operation are displayed on the front panel and major
operators should be able to operate the indicator without referring to the instruction
manual.

Full weighing sequences

The following five modes are installed in the AD-4404;
Automatic mode, conveyor stop mode, OK mode, manual mode and simple mode.
The five levels to select or check weight can be used for the check weighing.
AD-4404 can be linked to a foreign matter detector.
External buzzer has different sounds adapted to the result.

RS-485 interface
32 indicators can be connected to a programmable controller or a personal computer.
The protocols are according to public formats.

Optional accessories
Interface options: AC 250 V direct drive relay, serial interface,
parallel interface, analog output, etc.
There are three expansion slots for options.

Page 6 AD-4404
 Check mode during operation
The monitor mode can confirm system status during operation.
The test mode can test the Input / Output interface.
Even if there is no monitor instrument, the interface can be confirmed.

2.1. Precautions

Before use, confirm the following articles for safe operation.

Grounding the indicator

Ground the indicator. The earth terminal is on the rear panel.
Separate this earth ground line from others, like ground line of a motor, inverter or a
power source. Unless the indicator is grounded, it may result in receiving an electric
shock, cause operation error or catch fire.

Use an adequate power cord

Confirm the AC voltage, current of the power cord and the receptacle type. If the
voltage range of the cord is lower than the power line voltage, it may cause leakage or
catching fire. Use compression terminals to connect the power cord to the rear panel
terminals.

Fuse
The fuse is installed to help prevent the indicator from catching fire.
The indicator is equipped with many safety circuits. Therefore, the fuse is not damaged
in normal operation. If the fuse is damaged, do not replace it, contact your local A&D
dealer. This trouble may have been caused by strong electric discharge.

Splashing water
The indicator is not water-resistant. When the indicator is mounted to a panel with the
accessory rubber seal, the front panel is equivalent to IP-65.

Flammable gas
Do not install the indicator where flammable gas is present.

Heat radiation of the indicator

Space out instruments to radiate heat sufficiently.
Use a cooling fan to keep the operating temperature of the indicator within
specifications.

Removing the cover

Disconnect the indicator from the power source before removing the cover to avoid
receiving an electric shock.
Do not touch the internal circuit within 10 seconds after turning off the indicator to
avoid receiving an electric shock.

 3.3. Connecting the Loadcell Cable

Caution
Do not share the loadcell cable with noise-generating devices or power lines,
because the loadcell signal is very sensitive.

We recommend that you use a 6 wire shielded cable to prevent loss of weighing
precision.
If the length of loadcell cable is shorter than 5 m, you may use a 4 wire shielded cable
with terminals 1 & 2 connected together (connected EXC+ and SEN+) and terminals
3 & 4 connected together (connected EXC- and SEN-).

Adaptable Compression Terminal Parts

Use the appropriate compression terminal parts to attach the cables.

Loadcell Output Adjustment for Zero Calibration (Zero Point Adjustment)

If the message "CERR2" is displayed, the zero point of zero calibration is too large.
If the message "CERR3" is displayed, the zero point of zero calibration is too small.
Use a resistor of more than 50 k with low (good) temperature coefficient, when
adding a resistor, to adjust the loadcell output, to the indicator terminals.

In Case of Positive Offset In Case of Negative Offset

Page 14 AD-4404
3.3.1. Verifying Loadcell Output and Input Sensitivity
The input sensitivity of the indicator is 0.3V/division or more. Adapt to the following
inequality, when you design a weighing instrument using the indicator and loadcell(s).

Caution
A change in input voltage sensitivity is equivalent to a single division change
of the display. Select as large an input voltage sensitivity voltage as possible
so that the weighing interval becomes stable.
Consider the leverage if a lever is used.

Weighing instrument A: Rated capacity of loadcell [kg]

using one loadcell. B: Rated output [mV/V]
D: Weighing interval [kg]
Weighing instrument E: Excitation voltage [mV]
using multi-loadcell N: Number of loadcells

Verification Example
Design:
Loadcell N=1
Rated capacity A=750 [kg]
Rated output B=3 [mV/V] Therefore,
Excitation voltage E=5000 [mV] regard the instrument as a good design.
Weighing interval D=0.05 [kg]
Weighing capacity 300 [kg]

AD-4404 Page 15
 3.4. Wiring the Power Cord

Caution
Ground the indicator using terminal E to avoid receiving an electric shock or
an error due to discharge of static electricity.
Do not share the ground wire with an electrical device that generates noise.
Do not use an unstable power source.
Do not share the power cord with a motor system (a noise-generating device)
to avoid operation error.

The power source can be from AC 85V to AC 250V with 50 Hz or 60 Hz.

Adaptable Compression Terminal Parts

Use the appropriate compression terminal parts to attach the cables.

 5. Calibration
The indicator, which is connected to a loadcell unit, can weigh the "weight" value on
the weighing conveyor and display its "mass" value. The calibration function is used
to adjust the displayed value so that the weighing system can weigh correctly.
There are two ways of calibration. The "actual load calibration" uses a rated mass
and zero output from the loadcell unit. The "digital span" inputs arbitrary values
(calculated by hand). These methods are selected in the calibration procedure.
There is a compensation function of the "gravity acceleration correction".
This function is used, when a calibrated weighing system is moved to another place.
The indicator maintains the calibration parameters without any power supplied.

Common Calibration Items

Unit The "g", "kg" and "t" or "lb" can be selected (lb: USA only).
Decimal point The decimal point can be selected from "not used" to "four
decimal places".
Minimum division The minimum division of the weighing display.
Weighing capacity The maximum mass that can be displayed.

Items for the "Actual Load Calibration"

Common items Unit, decimal point, minimum division and weighing capacity
Zero point adjustment A zero point output, from the loadcell unit, is used.
(Zero calibration)
Span adjustment A rated mass is placed on the weighing conveyor and is
weighed. The sensitivity is adjusted. This sensitivity is the
same as "sensitivity" of digital span. (Span calibration)

Items for "Digital Span"

Common items Unit, decimal point, minimum division and weighing capacity
Zero point output The numerical data is input as the zero point output of the
loadcell unit.
Rated capacity The rated capacity of the loadcell unit is input.
Sensitivity The sensitivity of the loadcell unit is input.

Caution
When the CAL switch on the A/D board is "DISABLE", no calibration can be
performed.
Do not perform any calibration during a weighing sequence operation.
Entering calibration mode during a weighing sequence operation, the weighing
sequence operation is terminated. Calibrate the weighing system only when
the weighing sequence operation has stopped
The accuracy of the "Digital Span (Calibration without Mass)" is 1/1000 or less.
Do not use a "loadcell summing box", when the "digital span" is performed.
It is necessary that the loadcell sensitivity is known exactly, if the "digital
span" is to be used.

 6.3. Foreign Matter Detection

The foreign matter detection is the function to reject an article including foreign matter.
The system consists of the AD-4404 and the foreign matter detector.
The rejection is performed with the following procedure.
1 When an article including foreign matter is detected, a signal is transmitted from the
foreign matter detector to a preset I/O control interface terminal of the AD-4404.
2 When the AD-4404 receives the signal, the Foreign detect timer [5q f-58]
starts.
3 When the timer is up, the current weighing value is ignored. Judgement is regarded
as fault. Rejection signal is transmitted from the AD-4404 to the selector.
4 The article is rejected with the selector.
The function can be used with automatic mode and conveyor stop mode.

Time that the article reaches

The procedure of OK mode is as follows:

1 Put the article on the stopped weighing conveyor.
2 Pack the elements into the article by hand.
3 Press the START key. When the weighing value is OK, the article can be moved out.
The mode can be used with the buzzer according to the preset parameters.
In the stop mode, the current weighing value and the comparison display is always
updated. The comparison output is turned off. The buzzer and the comparison display
are turned off when the weighing value is within the zero band.
In the beginning of the operation mode, the display is reset and the buzzer becomes silent.
When Eval delay timer [5qf-43] is up, averaging and judgement is performed.
When the result is OK, the preset OK terminal is turned on.
When judgement is achieved, the weighing value and the comparison result are held,
the conveyor output is turned on and the article is moved out.
When Conveyor stop delay timer [5qf-59] is up, the hold display is canceled,
comparison output and conveyor output are turned off.
When the result is not OK, the comparison is achieved and the display is held until
Conveyor stop delay timer [5qf-59] is up.
The mode does not use any selector.

Caution
The buzzer is used for hand operation support with the following AND condition.
1 While stopping conveyor.
2 Gross value is not within zero band.
