 Page 9

Setup Procedure & Calibration

REFER TO THE PROGRAMMING FLOW CHART on page 10 while using this setup procedure.
This instrument offers an easy & straightforward way to pre-calibrate and field calibrate the load cell system. Follow the steps below:
Step 1 : Setting instrument sensitivity
The load cell sensitivity must be set in via jumper link J4 on the circuit board (see circuit board layout diagram on page 6). The
sensitivity setting must also be set in the programming menu (use the programming chart on page 10 to assist you, as well as the
examples below). If the load cell system sensitivity is not exactly one of the pre-determined ranges of 1mV/V, 2mV/V, 3mV/V or
10mV/V, then use the next highest sensitivity. E.g. if the load cell sensitivity is 1.6mV/V, then use the 2mV/V range. Remember to set
the sensitivity link (J4) on the circuit board as well.

See example 1 and 2 below.

Step 2 : Entering the decimal point, the load cell zero, and the full scale capacity value
The load cell can be pre-calibrated by entering the zero and load cell full scale capacity in the programming menu. The load cell
system zero value can normally left at 0 for the pre-calibration. The load cell full scale capacity is then entered.
Example 1: Example 2:

For a 1 x 5.000 ton load cell that has a 3mV/V sensitivity. For a 3 x 1000 kg load cell system with 2mV/V each.

Carefully remove circuit board from the housing and link for Carefully remove the circuit board from the housing and link for
3mV/V on jumper J4 (see step 1 above). 2mV/V on jumper J4 (see step 1 above).

Program the instrument as follows: Program the instrument as follows:

- Go to the “Inp” and “Cal” menu. - Go to the “Inp” and “Cal” menu.
- Set “3 mV” which represents the load cell sensitivity. - Set “2 mV” which represents the load cell sensitivity.
- Set decimal point to "o.ooo” (three decimal places). - Set decimal point to “oooo” (no decimal point).
- Set load cell "zero" to "0.000". - Set load cell “zero” to “0”.
- Set load cell full scale capacity "LC.FS" to "5.000". - Set "LC.FS" to "3000" (as there are 3 x 1000 kg load cells).

The instrument has now been pre-calibrated. The system has now been pre-calibrated.
 Page 10
Step 3 : Field calibration of load cell system for back-balance (deadweight)

Make sure that steps 1 & 2 on the previous page have been completed before proceeding with step 3.

The following procedure removes the deadweight from the weighing system (which is normally the bin / hopper / scale weight), and
returns the display reading to show zero with the bin empty.

Make sure that the bin / hopper is empty. Use the programming chart to go to “Inp”, followed by “Tare”. Press enter. The display will
flash “Tare” indicating that the instrument is measuring and averaging the bin weight. Allow for a few seconds of averaging, then press
the enter (star) button to stop the process. The instrument will exit programming mode and the display should read zero.

Step 4 : Field calibration of span (test weight calibration)

Make sure step 3 above has been completed before proceeding with step 4.

The following procedure allows the weighing system to be accurately calibrated using test weights.

Place the test weights on the bin / hopper / scale. The instrument should read the weight of the test weights. If the reading is not of
sufficient accuracy, then use the programming chart to go to "Inp", followed by "LOAD" and press enter. The instrument now prompts
you to enter the weight of the test weights. Then press enter. The display will flash “LOAD” for a few seconds, indicating that the
instrument is measuring and averaging the tests weights in the bin / hopper / scale. The instrument automatically exits programming
mode after a few seconds.

Step 5 : Store away calibrated instrument parameter for future use

Once steps 1 - 4 above have been completed, the instrument automatically alters the pre-calibration parameters “Zero” and “LC.FS”
in the “CAL” sub-menu (entered in step 2 above). These altered parameters may not resemble the original values entered by the user.
This is normal as these parameters fully characterise the weighing system.

DO NOT change these parameters. It is suggested that these parameters be noted for future use, especially if the instrument is
replaced. These parameters can be re-entered into the new instrument with the result that reasonable accuracies can still be obtained
without re-doing a field calibration. This is especially useful when minimum downtime is critical, and to avoid wastage if failure occurs
when the bin / hopper still contains materials. It is still recommended that complete field calibration is done when the situation permits.

Communications Asciibus Protocol (for Option 3002 / 3013)

IGNORE THIS PAGE unless communications option has been ordered. When the RS232 (option 3013) or RS485 (option 3002) is
ordered, two protocols are made available, namely ASCIIbus & DIGIbus protocols. DIGIbus is the default protocol which is used for
the calibration and configuration of the instruments, and whenever the instrument is connected to master-slave systems. DIGIbus
protocol is therefore used in complex bus systems, and is NOT described here. Please contact factory for the DIGIbus protocol.

ASCIIbus, which is described here, is much easier to use as it can easily interface to third party systems with very little engineering
work required. It is a purely ASCII based (7 bit) protocol. The protocol is essentially designed for one way communications
(instrument to PC). Under the "Conn" (connection) programming menu, ASCIIbus is enabled by selecting "ASCI" to "ON". If "OFF" is
selected, the DIGIbus protocol will be active. Although designed for one way communications only, the ASCIIbus protocol contains an
address. The address range is "00" to "99".

Using address "00" : If this address is selected, the instrument will only transmit data on demand by either momentarily pressing the
'menu' key, or by transmitting a byte (any ASCII character) to the DPM. This mode is useful for interfacing to printers. In addition, field
' A A ' will contain the ASCII character "blank/space". Field ' P ' will also contain the ASCII character "blank/space".
Using address "01" to "99". If any of these addresses are used, the meter continuously transmits information at approximately 5 times
a second.
The output will follow the display reading. This

Option 3000 Lineariser (Model 5004 only)

The lineariser option is used for non-linear input signals. A 16 point straight line approximation lineariser is provided. The user can enter any number of
points from 2 (Linear input signals) to 16. The greater the number of points, the greater the accuracy of the linearisation. Every actual display point has a
corresponding linearised display point.

Option 3012 Peak Or Valley (Max or Min) Hold Option

This option displays and holds the maximum or minimum value (not both) of an input signal. This option is activated in the
programming menu “Opt” by selecting whether “Hold” should be “On” or “Off”, and selecting whether valley (”valy” = “On”) or peak
(”valy” = “Off”) hold should be displayed.

The display can be toggled to show the peak / valley value or normal value by toggling the “up” arrow key (press for about 3 seconds
each time). For rapid response to step changes on the input, ensure that the filter in the programming menu is set to 0.0. To reset the
peak / valley hold value, press the “side” arrow key for 3 seconds, or use an external potential free contact (see page 7 for connection
details). If analog output option is fitted, the output will hold as well.

Option 3013 RS232 Communications Option

See the additional documentation supplied for protocol details & page 7 for connection details. Ensure that maximum cable length
from instrument to PC is less than 15 metres.

Option 3014 Tare / zero function

This option allows the operator to zero the display at any time and continue the measurement from that point in time. This option is
activated "ON" or "OFF" in the "Opt” menu during programming (see page 10).

During normal operations, pressing the “star key” for 3 seconds will zero the display. The display can also be zeroed via an external
potential free contact (see page 7 for connection details). The display can be zeroed at any time over and over again.

If the analog output option is fitted, the output will follow the display.

Option 3017-P Three Alarm Setpoints (Solid State Relays)

This option provides three alarm setpoints with solid state relays. This option board slots into the upper slot of the panel meter box.
The upper terminals are clearly numbered 13-28 to differentiate them from the lower terminals. Only normally open contacts are
provided, which means that should the contacts be closed and the power fails, they will revert to a normally open condition. The
relays are rated at 400V AC /DC @ 0.5A. Visual LED alarm indication is provided on the panel meter front. For connection wiring
details, see diagram “P” on page 20. Connect wires for AL1, AL2 & AL3 only.

Option 3017-M Three Alarm Setpoints (Electro-Mechanical Relays)

This option provides three alarm setpoints with electro-mechanical relays. This option board slots into the upper slot of the panel
meter box. The upper terminals are clearly numbered 13-28 to differentiate them from the lower terminals. Both normally open and
normally closed contacts are provides with each relay.The relays are rated at 250VAC / 30VDC @ 2A. Visual LED alarm indication is
provided on the panel meter front. For connection wiring details, see diagram “M” on page 20. Connect wires for AL1, AL2 & AL3 only.

Option 3018-P Four Alarm Setpoints (Solid State Relays)

This option is similar to option 3017-P, but contains four relays (see option 3017-P). For connection wiring details, see diagram “P” on
page 20. Connect wires for AL1, AL2, AL3 & AL4.

Option 3018-M Four Alarm Setpoints (Electro-Mechanical Relays)

This option is similar to option 3017-M, but contains four relays (see option 3017-M). For connection wiring details, see diagram “M”
on page 20. Connect wires for AL1, AL2, AL3 & AL4.

Option 3022 Vertical Bar Graph Display Option (Model 4004 only)
This option is only available on Model 4004. The vertical bar-graph display option provides a graphic linear representation of the
process variable being measured. The bar graph’s zero and full scale setting is programmed by the ‘Outp’ sub-menu of the
programming menu, which also controls the analog output option. The ‘Out.O’ controls the zero point of the graph, and the ‘Ou.Fs’
controls the full scale value of the graph. See the programming menu page 10 for more information.

Option 3025 Keypad Lock Option

The keypad lock option is used to prevent un-authorised access to the programming menu. When this option is ordered, a new sub-
menu called “CODE” appears at the end of the programming sequence. See programming page 10.
Three levels of keypad lockout are available: Level 0 - Full access to programming menu, Level 1 - User only has access to alarm
setpoint values and Level 2 - Total programming menu lockout.
If this option is ordered, the factory default is “Lev 0”.
If the keypad has been locked with either level 1 or 2, then the word “PASS” will appear on the display if the user attempts to enter
programming mode. Pressing the menu key will return the instrument to normal display mode. However, if the user wishes to enter
the programming menu, then when the word “PASS” appears, press in succession, 1 second apart, all four keys from right to left.

Option 3026 Display Hold Option

The option is at no-extra charge and allows the user to freeze the display via an external potential-free contact. Closing the switch will
freeze the display. See page 7 for wiring connections.

Option 3029 Time and Date Stamp (Model 5004 only)

This option will output to an ascii printer or computer the date, time and displayed data. Only in conjunction with option 3002 or 3013.

This option is only available for the model 5004. This option allows the user to time and date stamp the
display value either by momentarily pressing the ‘menu’ key, or by transmitting a byte (any ASCII character) to the unit.
This option is very useful to interface to serial printers.
