8 Safety instructions

Safety instructions

D There are not normally any hazards associated with the product, provided the notes and
instructions for project planning, assembly, appropriate operation and maintenance are
observed.
D It is essential to comply with the safety and accident prevention regulations specific to the
particular application.
D Installation and start‐up must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
D Do not allow damp and dirt to get inside the device when connecting the cables.
D When connecting the cables, take action to prevent electrostatic discharge as this may
damage the electronics.
D The required power supply for the device is an extra‐low voltage (10 30 V) with safe
disconnection from the mains.
D When connecting additional devices, comply with the safety requirements.
D The ground connections of the supply voltage, the interfaces and the load cell cable
shield are interconnected in the device. If the potentials of the devices to be connected
are different, suitable steps must be taken to isolate the signals (such as using an
optocoupler).
D Shielded cables must be used for all connections apart from the supply voltage (see note
below). The shield must be connected to the provided terminals (Section 5.3, Page 17).
D The use of unshielded cables for the voltage supply is only permissible for cables with a
maximum length of 30 m, laid inside buildings. If cables are longer or are installed outside
buildings, shielded cables must be used (as per EN 61326-1).
D To compensate for potential differences, the metal housing of the DIS2116 must be
connected to the scale structures as well as to the ground potential of the connected
devices by a low‐resistance equalizing conductor. This is unnecessary if a potential
difference of 35 V is not exceeded.
D In the device, the reference ground (GND) of all the signals and the supply voltage is
connected directly to the cable shield connection but not to the housing.
D Connection to a wide‐ranging supply network is not permitted as this often causes
interfering voltage peaks to be coupled into the electronics. Instead, a local supply must
be provided for the DIS2116 (even when grouped).
D The front foil is made from high‐quality materials, providing a service life appropriate to
the external conditions. The keys must only be operated by hand; under no
circumstances must pointed objects be used to press them.

Scale commissioning overview 13

4 Scale commissioning overview

The permissible supply voltage for the DIS2116 can be in the range +10  30VDC and must
be adequately smoothed (effective value less residual ripple >10 V).

IMPORTANT If digital load cells, e.g. C16i, are supplied via the DIS2116 then the permissible supply
voltage is +10 0 17 VDC .

A 100  240 V power supply unit (15 V / 530 mA AC/DC, for max. 8 load cells) is available
as an accessory. This power unit is suitable for all digital load cells.
When properly connected with shielded cables, the DIS2116 complies with the relevant
European standards and therefore carries the CE mark.
A formatted SD card with the factory setting parameters is inserted into the device.
The mechanical dimensions can be found in Chapter 22, Page 121, mounting information in

5.1 References

Please comply with the safety instructions at the start of this manual.
Load cells and power lines are connected by means of screw terminals on the back of the
device. The terminals are fitted with wire protection and the use of wire end ferrules is
recommended, particularly for the load cell cables. The assignment of the connection
terminals is displayed on the back of the device.

IMPORTANT All the ground connections are interconnected on the motherboard.

5.2 Cable connection

All connections are accessible from the outside, the housing does not need to be opened.
Strain relief for the connection cable can be provided via the supplied terminal housing.
Round cables, between 5 and 7 mm in diameter, can therefore be used.

To minimize EMC problems, the individual wires from the end of the shielding to the terminal
should be as short as possible.

The cable shields must be twisted together and connected to one of terminals 1.1, 1.8, 2.1 or 2.8.

5.4 Load cell connection

Digital load cells (C16i) etc. can be connected to the DIS2116. An RS-485 interface is
available for this purpose.
The RS-485 interface can be used as a 4‐wire (full duplex) or as a 2‐wire (half duplex)
interface.
All digital load cells (e.g. C16i) have the address 31 as the factory setting. If several load
cells are connected to a scale, the load cell addresses must first be changed. Implement
these settings in the parameter menu “SCALE CONFIGURATION" (Section 10.1, Page 65).

IMPORTANT Implement the configuration in the parameter menu “SCALE CONFIGURATION" after
connecting the load cells.

28 Basic scale functions

7 Basic scale functions

All device functions can be controlled in one or more of the following ways:
D Front control with 19 short‐stroke keys. With function keys “F1"  “F4", the meaning of
the key is displayed in the display function line.
D An external keyboard which can be connected via the PS/2 input.
D Connecting an external computer via the COM2 serial interface.
The main scale functions (Gross/Net, Taring, Zero setting) are controlled via function keys
“F1"  “F4". A menu is called for calibration and for additional device settings: Key (or
“F5" on external keyboard). Scale operation is not interrupted during parameter input, right
up to exiting the menu. When computer commands are used for control, measurement
generally continues without interruption. The exceptions to this are settling after filter
selection and power failsafe storage to the EEPROM.

7.1 Switching on and off

The device is switched on once the supply voltage is applied. When the electronics are
switched on, a BUS SCAN is executed initially, i.e. a check is made as to whether the load
cells listed in the “PARAMETER MENU " SCALE CONFIGURATION" are present.
During initial commissioning, all digital load cells have the same address 31 (factory setting).
The load cells must be individually configured before a scale adjustment can be carried out.
With verified scales, a check is made as to whether the parameters in the load cells have
been changed. If the parameters are no longer identical to those during verification, an error
message is displayed and no measured values are acquired or processed.
Connected load cells that are not entered in the “PARAMETER MENU  SCALE
CONFIGURATION" are not taken into account.
During the BUS SCAN, the following is displayed:
D Information line 1 The identification string consisting of the manufacturer, TYPE, serial
number and software version
D Information line 2 Date and time
D Measured value status line The legal‐for‐trade counter status (TCR) and whether the
scale is verified (LFT)
Zero is automatically set during initialization if this function is activated. The actions carried out
during initialization are displayed in clear text in the measured value display and the
initialization progress is shown by a moving bar.
The scale must not be loaded when it is being switched on.
The device is switched off by disconnecting the supply voltage from the DIS2116.

7.3 Gross/Net selection

Press key “F4" until the symbol appears above key “F2".
Every time key “F2" is pressed, the display changes between gross and net. When selecting
the net display, the last valid tare value is used again.

IMPORTANT Gross/net selection is only possible when the function in the “PARAMETER MENU "
FUNCTION KEYS " GROSS/NET" is ACTIVE.

7.4 10‐fold resolution

Press key “F4" until the symbol x10 appears above key “F2".
Every time key “F2" is pressed, 10‐fold resolution is activated/deactivated. This mode can be
used for test purposes. The measured value is then displayed with a factor 10 higher
resolution.

IMPORTANT 10‐fold resolution is only possible when the function in the “PARAMETER MENU "
FUNCTION KEYS " 10‐FOLD RESOLUTION" is ACTIVE. If the scale is set to
legal‐for‐trade OIML or NTEP, 10‐fold resolution can only be activated while key “F2" is
pressed. Once “F2" is released, 10‐fold resolution deactivates after about 5 seconds.

7.5 Taring

Press key “F4" until the symbol >T< appears above key “F3".
Pressing key “F3" stores the current gross value and deducts it from all the subsequent
weight values. So immediately after taring, the displayed (net) value is zero. The tare value
can be permanently displayed in the measurement value display, the setting must be made
in the menu “DISPLAY " DISPLAY " LINE 1" or “DISPLAY " DISPLAY " LINE 2". The
tare value can be read in the “INFORMATION " TARE VALUE" menu item.

The % figures relate to the nominal weighing range (parameter “SCALE PARAMETERS 
PARAMETER  NOMINAL VALUE"). Execution is dependent on standstill recognition
(Section 7.9, Page 33).
Taring with this key overwrites any manual tare value that may have been entered previously
(PT symbol is switched off).

IMPORTANT Taring and entering a manual tare value is only possible when the function in the
“PARAMETER MENU " FUNCTION KEYS " TARING" is ACTIVE.

7.6 Manual tare function

A manual tare value can be entered in the parameter menu “SCALE PARAMETERS "
PARAMETERS " MANUAL TARE VALUE" and the application of the manual tare value
switched on/off in the parameter menu “SCALE PARAMETERS " PARAMETER "
MANUAL TARE MODE", see Section 8.4.9 (Page 49) and Section 8.4.13 (Page 56).
When the “Manual tare" function is activated, the net value is formed by deducting a fixed
tare value. The PT symbol in the display indicates that the net value has been formed by
deducting the manual tare value. This disappears after taring with the Tare key “F3" (>T<).
The “G/N" key does not change the entered manual tare value.

Input manual tare value

Either press the “F3" (>T<) key for at least 2 seconds or one of the numerical keys to open

7.7 Zero on start‐up

If this function is activated (parameter menu “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER 

ZERO ON START‐UP"), the unloaded scale is automatically set to zero when the DIS2116 is
switched on (range of zero setting device 2  20%). This takes into consideration the set
standstill condition.

7.8 Error displays

The permissible display range depends on the nominal (rated) value of the scale and the set
mode of operation (not legal for trade / OIML / NTEP).

MODE ³ Lower display limit Upper display limit

LEGAL‐FOR‐TRADE
CAPABILITY
NO (not legal‐for‐trade) -160% +160%
OIML -20 d Nominal value +9d
NTEP -2% Nominal value +5%

The percentages relate to the nominal weighing range (“NOMINAL (RATED) VALUE"
parameter).
As soon as the measured value lies outside the display range, the measured value is
replaced in the display with “---------" and “LFT" is shown in the status line.
Other errors are displayed as a four‐digit code with explanation, e.g.:
ERROR!
CODE 5700

7.9 Standstill recognition

The zeroing, taring and printing functions are only executed if the value in the display is
stable. This is known as standstill and is indicated by showing the unit of measurement. The
condition for standstill is that the value only changes within a specific fluctuation range per
time unit. With fluctuating (wind) loads or a very high scale resolution, it is quite possible that
standstill will never be achieved. In this case, a more strongly damping filter or a lower
resolution can be selected in the parameter setting.
The various options for standstill indication can be selected in the “SCALE PARAMETERS 
PARAMETERSTANDSTILL MON." menu, see also Section 8.4.13 (Page 56).
It is also possible to switch off the standstill conditions (but not for legal‐for‐trade
applications). The unit is always displayed when standstill monitoring is switched off.

8.1 Calling the parameter menu

You have the following options for calling the parameter menu:

1. Press key .
The symbol is shown to the right in the title bar of the display: Some parameters
(calibration or LFT settings) can only be changed after the hidden pushbutton has been
pressed. If a plus is displayed next to the symbol ( + ), the passcode must also be
entered.
2. Pressing the hidden pushbutton (see Fig. 6.1, Page 25).
If + is shown in the display, the passcode must also be entered to obtain access to the
LFT or scale adjustment parameters. Otherwise, access is enabled for the menu level of
the LFT/scale adjustment parameters (parameter menus “FUNCTION KEYS", “MODE",
“SCALE CONFIGURATION", “SCALE PARAMETERS", “OFF‐CENTER LOAD
COMPENSATION", “FACTORY SETTINGS").
3. Pressing the key “F5" on external keyboard.

This corresponds to pressing the key .

Possible access restrictions

D The six access levels (ACCESS LEVEL) enable access restriction to various parameter
menus. Only specific menus are visible after an access level has been set. Access level 0
disables most menus, access level 5 enables all parameter menus, see Section 8.2 and
Section 8.4.11 on Page 52. Pressing the hidden pushbutton activates the highest access
level again, i.e. all parameter menus are visible again.
D If access to the menu level of the LFT/scale adjustment parameters is blocked by a
passcode, input or editing is only possible after the passcode has been entered, see
Section 8.4.11, Page 52. In this case, + or + are shown top right in the parameter
menu.
The menus “PARAMETER MENU  MODE  ACCESS LEVEL" and “PARAMETER MENU
 MODE  PASSCODE PROTECTION" are protected by the hidden pushbutton.

8.2 The main menu

To make things clearer, the parameters are grouped into several sub‐menus, which can be
called from the main menu. It is also possible to print out the parameters via the main menu
(only when the printer interface is active). Certain parameters are not accessible in every
mode of device operation, or are read‐only (access level, see Section 8.4.11, Page 52). To
access certain parameter menus, it is necessary to actuate a hidden pushbutton, which is
only accessible once the calibration or sealing label has been removed. The symbol is
therefore shown to the right in the title bar. If + is displayed, the passcode must also be
input (passcode protection, see Section 8.4.11, Page 52).

D ZERO TRACKING
The automatic zero tracking occurs for a gross or net measured value < 0.5d in the range +
2% of the nominal value of the scale. The maximum reset speed is 0.5 d/s when the scale is
at standstill. Standstill recognition can be set in the parameter Standstill monitoring. The unit d
(digit) is equal to one verified scale division e.
D ZERO ON START‐UP
Zero on start‐up means that, when the scale is switched on, a weight up to max. +20% of
the nominal (rated) value is set once to zero. In legal‐for‐trade applications, a max. of
+10% of the nominal value can be set to zero. Zero setting is only implemented at a
standstill and when the weight is within the specified range. Possible settings are OFF,
+2%, +5%, +10% and +20% of the nominal value.
D STANDSTILL MONITORING
Standstill check. Standstill means that the weight does not change by more than the set
value in one second. Standstill is indicated by the unit of measurement. If the standstill
condition is not met, the unit of measurement is not displayed. The setting 1d/s applies for
a verified scale.
The following settings are possible:
- OFF: Standstill monitoring is disabled, the display is always in the standstill mode, the
unit of measurement is permanently displayed.
- 0.25 d/s: Standstill is when the weight value does not change in one second by more
than 0.25d.
- 0.5 d/s: Standstill is when the weight value does not change in one second by more
than 0.5d.
- 1 d/s: Standstill is when the weight value does not change in one second by more
than 1d.
- 2 d/s: Standstill is when the weight value does not change in one second by more
than 2d.
- 3 d/s: Standstill is when the weight value does not change in one second by more
than 3d.
Example: If a resolution of 1g and standstill monitoring of 1d/s is set, the standstill condition is
met when the weight value does not change by more than 1g/s.
D G FACTOR CALIBRATION /APPLICATION
The g‐factor setting is only required when the scale is calibrated at the production site
and operated at another place with this setting. If the scale is calibrated at the installation
site, both g‐factors must be identical.
D MANUAL TARE MODE/VALUE

9 Filter selection

The DIS2116 has five different filters. These can be selected via the parameter menu
“FILTER  FILTER MODE":
D Standard filter (IIR low‐pass filter)
D Fast‐settling digital filter (FIR low‐pass filter)
D IIR 8th order low‐pass filter
D Fast‐settling digital filter (IIR 4th order low‐pass filter)
D Fast‐settling digital filter (FIR low‐pass filter)

The filter cut‐off frequency is adjustable in 10 steps (0  9). The settings are made in the
parameter menu “FILTER‐  LIMIT FREQUENCY". Setting 0 means that the filter is
disabled.
The particular application determines which filter mode is selected.
A low bandwidth has a longer settling time and should be selected for greater accuracy.
Scale resolution (“NOMINAL VALUE" parameter) and standstill recognition are interlinked. If
standstill is not achieved, the filter bandwidth must be reduced.

IMPORTANT The filters are a component of the load cells. Their properties are described in the
documentation of the load cells (C16i, measurement chains) (commands FMD, ASF, HSM).

HBM DIS2116, I2533 2.0 en

Scale adjustment 65

10 Scale adjustment

The scale is adjusted by setting the user characteristic curve on the DIS2116, that is to say,
the weighing electronics adapt to the actual output signals that the digital load cell(s)
supplies when the scale(s) is not loaded or at nominal weight. Calibration weights are usually
required for this, another alternative is to input the measured values, if these are known.
The adjustment range depends on the maximum capacity of the load cells used. The factory
setting is a resolution of 10000d for the maximum capacity of the scale, adjusted (factory
settings, see Section 8.4.15 (Page 62).

Three methods are available to adjust a scale:

1. Scale adjustment by measuring the characteristic curve
This method is described in Sections 10.3 to 10.5.
2. Computational scale adjustment
This method is described in Section 10.6.
3. Scale adjustment with digital off‐center load compensation
From a scale configuration with minimum 4 load cells, the scale adjustment can also be
implemented with digital off‐center load compensation. This method is described in
Section 10.7.

10.1 Configuration of the load cells

During initial commissioning, all digital load cells have the same address (31), a measured
value display is not possible. This is why an initialization error is shown in the display [INIT
ERROR].
Each load cell must be assigned its own address. This is possible with the aid of the load cell
serial number.
Proceed as follows:
D Call the parameter menu via the hidden pushbutton.
D To set the address, enter the parameter menu “SCALE CONFIGURATION".
The addresses for the load cells must be assigned for each segment increasing clockwise
(e.g. in segment 1, start in one corner with the address 11). See Section 10.2 on Page 66.

TIP If the load cells have already been assigned individual addresses (e.g. with the
AED Panel32 program), measured values are displayed after switching on and you can start
directly with scale adjustment.

DIS2116, I2533 2.0 en HBM

66 Scale adjustment

10.2 Structure of a scale segment

In the scale segment structure, the load cells must be arranged clockwise according to their
bus address. The bus addresses are automatically assigned during scale configuration. As
the first number usually designates the segment and the second the load cell, this results in
numbers between 11 and maximum 20 for 4, 6, 8 or 10 load cells (see Fig. 10.1 to Fig. 10.4)
in the first segment. The numbers 21 to 28 apply in the second segment with 8 load cells,
and 31 to 38 in the third segment. If there are 12 load cells in the first segment, the numbers
41 and 42 are also used (Fig. 10.5). Configuration with 10 or 12 load cells is only possible as
of firmware P105.

68 Scale adjustment

10.4 Scale adjustment with maximum capacity (standard

method, calibration weight = nominal (rated) value)

In most scale applications, the adjustment is made at two points, that is to say, when the
scale is not loaded and when a calibration weight is placed on it. Calibration is carried out as
follows:
1. Call the “SCALE PARAMETERS" parameter menu.
2. Check that the calibration weight is the same as the maximum capacity (calibration
weight = nominal (rated) value).
3. Go to the “CHARACTERISTIC CURVE MEASUREMENT" (measurement) sub‐menu.
4. Zero value:
- Relieve the scale.
- Call the “ZERO LOAD" sub‐menu.
- The actual measured value is displayed with 10‐fold resolution (the displayed value is
e.g. dependent on the number of load cells).
- Wait for a steady measurement display.
- Press the “ENTER" key to store the value.
5. Calibration weight:
- Place the calibration weight (= maximum capacity of scale) onto the scale.
- Call the “MAXIMUM CAPACITY" sub‐menu.
- The actual measured value is displayed with 10‐fold resolution.
- Wait for a steady measurement display.
- Press the “ENTER" key to store the value.
Use the “CE" key to cancel at any time. This will reset the parameter that has just been
called (and this one only!) to its former value. The former value is only deleted after storing.
The two values are stored internally at high resolution (internal digits).
If the measured value display is too unsteady, reduce the filter bandwidth (Chapter 9, Page
64). Then set the other parameters.

Scale adjustment 69

10.5 Scale adjustment with partial load (calibration

weight = 20% (5%)  120 % nominal value)

If there is no calibration weight equal to the maximum capacity of the scale, a partial
calibration can be performed. To do this, the “CALIBRATION WEIGHT" parameter must be
set to the value of the calibration weight used. This must be in the range 5%  120 % of the
maximum capacity of the scale. In legal‐for‐trade applications, the adjustment should be
carried out with a calibration weight of at least 20% of the maximum capacity of the scale.
The calibration weight is scaled like the display value, e.g. 2kg = 2.000, with 3 decimal
places.
Until a calibration has been performed, the calibration weight is the same as the nominal
(rated) value.

IMPORTANT Before calibration, the parameter “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETERS  NOMINAL

VALUE" must be set to the maximum capacity of the scale!

Calibration is carried out as follows:

1. Call the “SCALE PARAMETERS" parameter menu.
2. Go to the “CHARACTERISTIC CURVE MEASUREMENT" (measurement) sub‐menu.
3. Set the calibration weight (“CALIBRATION WEIGHT")
4. Zero value:
- Relieve the scale.
- Call the “ZERO LOAD" sub‐menu.
- The actual measured value is displayed with 10‐fold resolution (the displayed value is
e.g. dependent on the number of load cells).
- Wait for a steady measurement display.
- Press the “ENTER" key to store the value.
5. Calibration weight:
- Place the calibration weight (= “CALIBRATION WEIGHT") onto the scale.
- Call the “MAXIMUM CAPACITY" sub‐menu.
- The actual measured value is displayed with 10‐fold resolution.
- Wait for a steady measurement display.
- Press the “ENTER" key to store the value.
Use the “CE" key to cancel at any time. This will reset the parameter that has just been
called (and this one only!) to its former value. The former value is only deleted after storing.
The two values are stored internally at high resolution (internal digits).
If the measured value display is too unsteady, reduce the filter bandwidth (Chapter 9, Page 64).
Then set the other parameters.

10.6 Adjustment without calibration weight

(computational adjustment)

If the scale is designed for very high maximum capacities or if there is no calibration weight
available, an adjustment can also be performed by entering the calculated values.
In order to carry out these settings, the display must be changed so that the value measured
by the load cells is displayed in digits and not converted into a physical unit, e.g. kg. The
digital load cells (e.g. C16i) connected to the DIS2116 are calibrated at the factory to output
a measured value of 1000000 (digits) at maximum capacity (load cell maximum capacity)
(load cell sensitivity). The characteristic curve can therefore be determined from the known
nominal value of the load cells. The zero value is measured.

Requirements:
D All load cells connected to a scale must have the same maximum capacity.
D Off‐center load compensation must be switched off (parameter menu “OFF‐CENTER
LOAD COMPENSATION  MEASURE  SEGMENT 1(2,3)", see Section 8.4.14,
Page 61.
D The scale characteristic curve (conversion into physical unit) must be switched off.
To do this, set the following parameters:
- “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER  DECIMAL POINT" = “x"
- “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER  RESOLUTION" = “1d"
- “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER  NOMINAL (RATED) VALUE" = “1000000"
- “SCALE PARAMETERS  CHARACTERISTIC CURVE ENTRY  ZERO LOAD" =
“0" (d)
- "SCALE PARAMETERS  CHARACTERISTIC CURVE ENTRY  MAXIMUM
CAPACITY" = “1000000" (d)

Procedure:
1. Measuring the zero value of the characteristic curve when the scale is not loaded
2. Calculating the nominal value of the scale
3. Entering the characteristic curve
4. Restoring conversion into physical unit

1. Measuring the zero value of the characteristic curve when the scale is not loaded
D Call the “SCALE PARAMETERS" parameter menu.
D Go to the “CHARACTERISTIC CURVE MEASUREMENT" sub‐menu.
D Measure zero value:
- Relieve the scale.
- Call the “ZERO LOAD" sub‐menu.
- The actual measured value is displayed with 10‐fold resolution (the displayed value is
e.g. dependent on the number of load cells).
- Wait for a steady measurement display.
- Press the “ENTER" key to store the value.
D Make a note of the measured value (mw0) for later input.

2. Calculating the nominal value of the scale

The digital load cells (e.g. C16i) connected to the DIS2116 are calibrated at the factory to
output a measured value of 1000000 (digits) at maximum capacity. The nominal value of the
scale characteristic curve is composed of the zero value and the weighing range (scale
maximum capacity). As the zero value has already been measured, it only remains to define
the weighing range.

Maximum capacity of the scale

Weighing rang = Load cell sensitivity [ in digits] V
Maximum load cell capacity

The load cell sensitivity is 1000000 at the load cell maximum capacity. The maximum load
cell capacity is stated on the load cell identification plate.
Example: A scale comprises 4 load cells with a load cell maximum capacity of 60t, the scale
maximum capacity must be 100t. The weighing range is therefore 1666666.7.

3. Entering the characteristic curve

If you add the value for the weighing range to the previously measured zero value (mw0),
you obtain the nominal (rated) value of the scale (mv1). You can then use this to enter the
characteristic curve:
D Call the “SCALE PARAMETERS" parameter menu.
D Go to the “CHARACTERISTIC CURVE INPUT" sub‐menu.
D Call the “ZERO LOAD" menu and enter the measured value for unloaded scale (mv0).
D Call the “MAXIMUM CAPACITY" menu and enter the nominal value (mw1).

4. Restoring conversion into physical unit

Call the following parameter menus and set the settings for your scale:
D “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER  DECIMAL POINT"
D “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER  RESOLUTION"
D “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER  NOMINAL (RATED) VALUE"

Scales with several load cells supply the nominal (rated) value when the weight equivalent to
the maximum scale capacity is applied.

IMPORTANT Adjustment in digits does not achieve the same accuracy as adjustment with calibration
weights and must therefore only be used for applications which require less accuracy.

10.7 Adjustment with digital off‐center load

compensation

In this adjustment variant, both the characteristic curve is determined and the off‐center load
error compensated. A scale configuration with at least 4 load cells is required for digital
off‐center load compensation.
An adjustment with off‐center load compensation is only successful when the load cells in
the individual segments are arranged with clockwise ascending addresses (see Section 10.2,
Page 66, Scale segment structure).

Requirements:
D The configuration of the load cells must already be implemented as described in Section 10.1.
D The requirements for the adjustment of the scale as described in Section 10.3 must be met.

Procedure:
1. Call the parameter menu “OFF‐CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION".
2. Call the “MEASURE" menu.
3. In the menu "MODE", select an adjustment variant: “SIMPLE" – “AVERAGE" –
“PRECISE".
4. In the menu “CALIBRATION WEIGHT", enter the weight value used for adjustment. The
calibration weight is entered as the weight in weight units with which the off‐center load
compensation is implemented. The balancing weight should be min. 20% and max. 120%
of the scale maximum capacity. An adjustment of up to 5% of the scale maximum
capacity is also possible for non‐verifiable scales.
Please note: The smaller the balancing weight is, the greater the full scale error.
5. In SEGMENT 1, measure the weight values as specified and accept with “F1". If the scale
consists of more than one segment, the adjustment procedure for segments 2 and 3 is
identical to that for segment 1.

There are three adjustment modes for off‐center load compensation (“SIMPLE" -
“AVERAGE" - “PRECISE"). They are described in the following sections.

TIP In the adjustment variants “AVERAGE" and “PRECISE", the segment point (segment corner)
to be loaded is shown in the adjustment dialog. If the load is not applied to the displayed
point, the measured value display of the loaded point (corner) flashes. Place the weight on
the displayed point to continue with the adjustment.

10.7.4 Off‐center load compensation mode “INPUT"

Preparation:
1. Call the parameter menu “OFF‐CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION".
2. Call the menu “INPUT SEGMENT 1(2,3)".
The segments 2 and 3 are only displayed when “2 segments" or “3 segments" is set in the
menu “SCALE CONFIGURATION  SEGMENT NUMBER".
The load cells belonging to the selected segment are displayed with their addresses, e.g.
segment 1 with 4 load cells: Display correction value 11... 14.

Procedure for entering the correction values:

1. Display measured value display (exit parameter menu).
2. Load the 4 corners consecutively with a known weight. Note the weight values.
3. Note the deviation between displayed weight and known weight.
4. Calculate, for each corner, the compensating value based on the scale maximum
capacity using the formula “Maximum capacity/known weight * measured deviation".
5. Enter the calculated values for the individual load cells in the parameter menu
“OFF‐CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION  INPUT SEGMENT 1".
6. Check the deviations in the measured value display and adjust where necessary.

Example:
The scale consists of one segment (segment 1). The scale maximum capacity is 100 kg
(display = 100.00 kg), the known balancing weight is 25 kg. At corner 11, the weight is
displayed with 24.90 kg.
1. Calculate the deviation:
24.90 kg – 25.00 kg = -0.10 kg (displayed weight – balancing weight)
2. Convert deviation using nominal value:
100.00/25.00* (-0.10) = -0.40
3. Enter correction in parameter menu “OFF‐CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION 
CORRECTION VALUE 11":
-0.40 kg
4. Proceed in the same manner with the correction values for load cells 12, 13 and 14.
5. After input, check the corners again and repeat the inputs if necessary.

10.8 Multi‐range weighing machine

The DIS2116 can be operated as a single‐range or multi‐range scale.

Two parameters are available for this in the “SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER"
parameter menu: “MULTIRANGE 1" AND “MULTIRANGE 2". The weighing range
(“NOMINAL VALUE") must be set before this setting.

Scale type Parameter

Single‐range balance MULTIRANGE 1 = MULTIRANGE 2 = 0
Dual‐range balance 0 < MULTIRANGE 1 < NOMINAL VALUE and MULTIRANGE 2 = 0
Three‐range scale 0 < MULTIRANGE 1 < MULTIRANGE 2 < NOMINAL VALUE

The increment for the second and third weighing range is automatically derived from the
“RESOLUTION" parameter, whereby this parameter always describes the increment of the
first measuring range.

Example:
“RESOLUTION" = 1d ³ Increment range 2 = 2d ³ Increment range 3 = 5d

10.9 Taking gravitational acceleration into account

The gravitational acceleration, and thus the scale display, is dependent on the geographical
data of the place of installation. The maximum variation between the different regions within
the Federal Republic of Germany is 0.1%; worldwide, it is 0.6%.
The function described below allows adjustment to take place on the scale manufacturer’s
premises, even if the device is to be operated at a different geographical location.
If the fault effect at the new installation location exceeds the scale accuracy limits, it is usually
necessary to re‐adjust. It is also possible to use the internal correction function in the DIS2116 to
compensate for the effect of the installation location. To do this, input the following in the
“SCALE PARAMETERS  PARAMETER menu (access authorization required!):
D “G‐FACTOR CALIBRATION." = Gravitational acceleration factor for the calibration
location.
D “G‐FACTOR APPLICATION" = Gravitational acceleration factor for the destination
location (where the scale is used).
This must be entered after scale adjustment.
Use the setting “G‐FACTOR CALIBRATION" = G‐FACTOR APPLICATION to disable the
correction calculation. The display is then always related to the location of the last
calibration.

TIP This setting is not required if the scale is adjusted on site.

Linearization 81

11 Linearization

For most scale applications, standard adjustment with the zero and full scale values
(“ENTRY" or “MEASUREMENT") is sufficient. The signal only needs to be linearized
(“LINEARIZATION") if unacceptable errors occur with this method. Linearization corrects
errors when scale structures have an output signal that is not proportional to the weight (e.g.
because there are mechanical transmission elements).
Correction selection via the menu “SCALE PARAMETERS  LINEARIZATION:

1) Zero and full scale value adjustment is already described in Chapter 10.

For the linearization method, proceed as follows:

1. Set the scale parameters.
2. Calibrate the scale at two points (zero and calibration weight) or via off‐center load
calibration (Chapter 10, Page 65).
3. Measure the linearity error in the weighing range with two additional calibration weights.

IMPORTANT Correction is only possible when measurements can be performed. Input only makes sense
when the linearity adjustment has been implemented, the determined values are reset for
test purposes and now need to be input again.

Linearization always takes place at two measurement points (actual values). First establish
whether the error characteristic curve has one or two maximums (see above).
If the error characteristic curve has one maximum, the first measurement point is put at
about 500d = e (the narrowest part of the error characteristic curve). The second
measurement point is put at the maximum of the error characteristic curve.
If the error characteristic curve has two maximums, the first measurement point is put at the
first maximum and the second point at the second maximum.

Vehicle search
There are two ways to search for a vehicle in the Truck list:
1. Search with keys ± (“F2") and ° (“F3")
Key “F2" is used to search the entries in the Truck column alphabetically from A to Z and
key “F3" from Z to A. The applicable vehicle is indicated by a black bar.
2. Search using text
Use the keyboard to enter the number plate of the vehicle being sought. The search starts
with the first character entered. The first number plate that starts with this character is then
displayed in the first line under “Truck" and is marked by a black bar. The search is refined
with every additional character that is entered.
If there is no vehicle that starts with the entered letter, the next vehicle is shown that starts
alphabetically with the letter after that entered.
The search text can be deleted with the “F4" key (²x). The vehicle display changes to
match the remaining search text. If the search text is completely deleted, the first vehicle
in the alphabetically sorted list is displayed.

13.3 Vehicle weighing mode “ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE"

In the vehicle weighing mode “ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE", the weight determination for the load
is based on 2 measurements. The weight of the arriving truck is recorded with Weighing1
and the weight of the departing truck with Weighing2. The difference is the weight of the
loaded or unloaded material.
It is also possible to use the empty weight (pretare) stored with the truck data as the weight
for the arriving truck. The arriving truck then does not need to drive onto the scale.

104 Limit values

16 Limit values

The DIS2116 has two programmable limit values. Each channel becomes active when the
activation value is overrun and inactive when the deactivation value is underrun. The
different values give a free choice of hysteresis. The values can be related to the gross or
the net weight, as desired; this is not dependent on the current display mode.
The parameters for the limit value switches are described in Section 8.4.3 (Page 41).
Active limit value channels are displayed by the symbols 1,2 in the status line of the
display.
