 SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS
The 220 Weight Indicator is a precision weight measuring instrument. As with any precision
instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at its peak performance and
reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.

Electrical Power
The 220 indicators has been designed to operate from 90 to 264 VAC at 50/60 Hz. Note that a
special order is not required for operation at 230 VAC.

CAUTION! - To avoid electrical hazard and possible damage to the indicator,

DO NOT, under any circumstance, cut, remove, alter, or in any way bypass the
power cord grounding prong.

On models requiring 230 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the customer to have a qualified
electrician install the proper power cord plug which conforms to national electrical codes and local
codes and ordinances.

The power outlet for the indicator should be on a separate circuit from the distribution panel. This
circuit should be dedicated to the exclusive use of the indicator. The wiring should conform to
national and local electrical codes and ordinances and should be approved by the local inspector
to assure compliance.

To prevent electrical noise interference, make certain all other wall outlets for use with air
conditioning and heating equipment, lighting or other equipment with heavily inductive loads, such
as welders, motors and solenoids are on circuits separate from the indicator. Many of these
disturbances originate within the building itself and can seriously affect the operation of the
instrument. These sources of disturbances must be identified and steps must be taken to prevent
possible adverse effects on the instrument. Examples of available alternatives include isolation
transformers, power regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, or simple line filters.

CAUTION! When in parallel runs, locate Load Cell cables a minimum of 24" away
from all AC wiring.

Environmental
In general, the 220 Indicator will perform well within a
temperature range of 14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C ).

In order to keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the

indicator should be placed out of direct sunlight and to
provide adequate air circulation, keep the area around the
indicator clear.

Make certain the instrument is not directly in front of a

heating or cooling vent. Such a location will subject the
indicator to sudden temperature changes which may result
in unstable weight readings.

Insure that the indicator has good, clean AC power and is

properly grounded.

In areas subject to lightning strikes, additional protection to

minimize lightning damage, such as surge suppressors,
should be installed.

 INSTALLATION
Before beginning installation of your Model 220 Weight Indicating Instrument, make certain that the
instrument has been received in good condition. Carefully remove the instrument from the
shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches)
that may have taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing material for return
shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all claims for
any damages or loss incurred during transit.

Mounting the 220

NOTE! Should your 220 indicator come already installed on a scale, the following information
describing the installation of the instrument does not apply.

The Model 220 Indicator is housed in a NEMA 4X/IP66 stainless steel wall or desk-mount
enclosure. The 220 gimbal may be mounted on a desktop or other smooth, flat, horizontal surface

Figure No. 5

NOTE! AC INPUT RELAYS ARE VOLTAGE DEPENDENT. A DIFFERENT RELAY IS

REQUIRED FOR 115 VAC AND 230 VAC!

Preset Weight Comparator/Checkweigher Logic Level Output

If you so choose, you may use the logic level outputs from your Model 220 indicator’s preset
weight comparators or checkweigher to control peripheral devices used to manage the flow of
material or signal when the weight is within preset limits. Note that these outputs are at logic level
and cannot drive external devices directly. Solid state relays can be used to accept the logic level
output from the 220 and in turn, drive the external device.

To connect the control cable to the preset weight comparator/checkweigher logic level output
connector P8, first loosen a gland connector located on the back of the 220. Refer to Figure No. 2
for the location of the connectors. Slip the cable through this connector and into the enclosure.
Remove 2 inches of the cable insulating jacket then 1/4 inch of insulation from each of the internal
wires (refer to Figure No. 3). Make the proper terminations on terminal block P8. To terminate a
wire, first press down on the terminal block release bar, insert the wire into the terminal and
remove pressure from the release bar locking the wire in place.

AC Output Relay Board(s)
The AC Output Relay Board(s) are mounted in an external junction box for use with the 220
Indicator. The RB4-OUT contains one board and supports 4 outputs (jumper selectable). The
RB8-OUT contains two boards and supports 8 outputs. The relay board used in both is (Cardinal
p/n 8539-C062-0A). Connect the devices to be controlled as shown in Figure No. 6.

The individual relays can be configured to be on (closed) or off (open) at weights under the preset
weight then switch at the preset weight from on-to-off or off-to-on by setting the under weight
condition to on or off during setup and calibration or setup review.

• OUTPUT (closed) ........ 28-240VAC @ 3A maximum for each plug-in relay.

• CONTROL INPUT ....... 5VDC @ 12mA from the 220 main pc board assembly P8.
• CONNECTION ............ Removable plug-in screw terminals for up to 14 AWG wire.

Figure No. 6

NOTE! All relays are the normally-open type that will open when power to indicator is lost.

Re-Installing The Rear Panel

After all terminations have been made, remove the excess cable from the instrument enclosure
and securely tighten each of the cable gland connectors. Do not over-tighten these connectors but
make certain they are snug. DO NOT USE TOOLS! Finger tighten only! Ensure any unused

The relay box cable wire numbers correspond to the indicator main PC board remote input and
output connnector pins (P9 and P8).

EXAMPLES:
INPUT
If cable wire number 2 is connected to P9-2, then AC Input relay 1 or 5 (depending on the
relay board jumper setting), will initiate a “zero” function on the indicator.

OUTPUT
If cable wire number 2 is connected to P8-2, then PWC 1 will activate AC Output relay 1 or 5,
depending on the relay board jumper setting.

DFC OPERATION WITH A SINGLE RELAY BOARD

DFC operation can be accomplished using one relay board. By setting the relay board
jumpers on PWC1, PWC2, PWC3 and PWC8 (see Figure No. 6), PWC1 will operate relay 1
at the Fill preset, PWC2 will operate relay 2 at the SLOW preset and DUMP will operate
relay 4 with the dump command (see the tables above). Note, that PWC3 is not used.

Main PCB Jumpers (See Figure No. 7)
J6 - AUTO-ON JUMPER
The AUTO-ON jumper J6, when connected, will cause the indicator to power on automatically
whenever power is applied to the power input connector. If power is lost momentarily and then
reapplied, the indicator will turn on without pressing the ON key. See Figure No. 7 for jumper
location.

J7 - TEST JUMPER
The TEST jumper J7, when connected, will turn the backlight on, disregarding the LIGHT ON=
setting (refer to Setup Review for explanation of LIGHT ON). See Figure No. 7 for jumper location.

J8 - 8V EX JUMPER
The 8V EX jumper J8, when connected, allows the 220 indicator to supply 8 VDC excitation
voltage when a remote (external) 12 VDC battery is used to power the indicator. To operate from
the 12 VDC battery, the load cell excitation voltage MUST be set to 8 VDC (J8 closed). Operating
with the load cell excitation voltage set to 12 VDC will result in an unstable weight display. See
Figure No. 7 for jumper location.

J10 - ACTIVE REMOTE OUT JUMPER

The Active Remote Out jumper J10, when connected, allows the 220 indicator to supply (source)
5 VDC to a solid-state relay or other load of 200 ohms or greater. To operate from the 5 VDC
source, the positive connection from the relays must be connected to P8 pins 2 through 9 and the
negative wire from the relays to P8 pin 10 (GND/SHLD). See Figure No. 7 for jumper and
connector P7 location.

For completely isolated outputs, J10 must be open (positioned on one plug-in pin only or removed)
and the user must provide 5 to 12 VDC to P8 pin 1 (+SRC) and a ground return to the load. The
load must still be 200 ohms or greater. Note that P8 pin 10 (GND/SHLD) is not connected.

J11 - ACTIVE REMOTE IN JUMPER

The Active Remote In jumper J11, when connected, allows the 220 indicator to supply (source)
5 VDC to a remote input circuit. Connecting P9 pins 1 through 9 to P9 pin 10 (GND) through a
switch will cause the selected action. See Figure No. 7 for jumper and connector P9 location.

For completely isolated inputs, J11 must be open (positioned on one plug-in pin only or removed)
and the user must provide 5 to 12 VDC to P9 pin 1 (+SRC) and a ground return to the switch
connected to P9 pin 2 through 9. Note that P9 pin 10 (GND) is not connected.

J12 AND J13 - SENSE JUMPERS

If the sense leads are NOT used, you must install plug-in jumpers at J12 and J13 adjacent to the
terminal block. These jumpers attach the sense leads to the excitation leads. If sense leads ARE
used (as in motor truck scales), these plug-in jumpers should be positioned on one plug-in pin only
or removed and stored for later use. Refer to Figure No. 7 for the location of the jumpers.

Before You Call Service
The 220 Indicator has been designed to provide you with years of trouble-free operation. In spite
of this, troubles sometimes happen. Before calling for service assistance you should make some
initial checks to verify that a problem does exist. The following describes several types of
symptoms along with suggested remedies.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Display does not turn on Is the AC power cord fully inserted into the wall
receptacle? Check wall receptacle for proper AC power.
Try another electrical appliance in the same receptacle,
does it work? Check the circuit breaker. Has there been
power failure?

Incorrect weight displayed Has the instrument been calibrated? Insure that the
scale platform isn't touching an adjacent object. Check
the load cell connector wiring. If using four (4) wire load
cells, insure the sense lead jumpers (J4 & J5) are
installed. Have proper operation procedures been
followed?

Indicator will not display weight Refer to Error Codes section and make certain that the
OVER CAP message is not displayed. If so, and scale is
not loaded, perform the calibration sequence.

CALIBRATION SEAL INSTALLATION

If your 220 Weight Indicating Instrument is used in a commercial application it must be tested and
sealed by your local weights and measurements official. The 220 is designed to accept a lead and
wire security seal to prevent unauthorized access to the calibration adjustments. Refer to the
Figure No. 9 for details on the installation of these seals.
