Further information.
GUARANTEE
24 months from the delivery document date. The guarantee covers only defected parts and includes the replacement parts and
labour. All shipping and packing costs are paid by the customer. It is possible to have the repair in guarantee on condition that the
returned product has not been transformed, damaged or repaired without authorization. No guarantee is applicable on returned
products without the original label and/or serial number. No guarantee against misuse.
Batteries: Laumas provides 1 year guarantee from the date of delivery note, against material defects or battery manufacturing faults.
The terminals indicated on the instrument’s wiring diagram to be connected to earth must
have the same potential as the weighed structure (same earthing pit or earthing system). If
you are unable to ensure this condition, connect with an earthing wire the terminals of the
instrument (including the terminal – SUPPLY) to the weighed structure.
The cell cable must be individually led to its panel input and not share a conduit with other cables;
connect it directly to the instrument terminal strip without breaking its route with support terminal
strips.
Use “RC” filters on the instrument-driven solenoid valve and remote control switch coils.
Avoid inverters in the instrument panel; if inevitable, use special filters for the inverters and separate
them with sheet metal partitions.
The panel installer must provide electric protections for the instruments (fuses, door lock switch
etc.).
It is advisable to leave the equipment always switched on to prevent the formation of condensation.
INSTALLING LOAD CELLS: The load cells must be placed on rigid, stable in-line structures; it
is important to use the mounting modules for load cells to compensate for misalignment of the
support surfaces.
PROTECTION OF THE CELL CABLE: Use water-proof sheaths and joints in order to protect the
cables of the cells.
MECHANICAL RESTRAINTS (pipes, etc.): When pipes are present, we recommend the use of
hoses and flexible couplings with open mouthpieces with rubber protection; in case of hard pipes,
place the pipe support or anchor bracket as far as possible from the weighed structure (at a distance
at least 40 times the diameter of the pipe).
-1-
CONNECTING SEVERAL CELLS IN PARALLEL: Connect several cells in parallel by using - if
necessary - a watertight junction box with terminal box. The cell connection extension cables must
be shielded, led individually into their piping or conduit and laid as far as possible from the power
cables (in case of 4-wire connections, use cables with 4x1 mm2 minimum cross-section).
WELDING: Avoid welding with the load cells already installed. If this cannot be avoided, place the
welder ground clamp close to the required welding point to prevent sending current through the load
cell body.
EARTHING THE WEIGHED STRUCTURE: By means of a copper wire with suitable cross-section,
connect the cell upper support plate with the lower support plate, then connect all the lower plates to
a single earthing system. Electrostatic charges accumulated because of the product rubbing against
the pipes and the weighed container walls are discharged to the ground without going through or
damaging the load cells. Failure to implement a proper earthing system might not affect the
operation of the weighing system; this, however, does not rule out the possibility that the cells and
connected instrument may become damaged in the future. It is forbidden to ensure earthing system
continuity by using metal parts contained in the weighed structure.

LOAD CELL INPUT TEST (QUICK ACCESS)
3s
From the weight display, press ▲ for 3 seconds; the response signal of the load cells is displayed,
expressed in mV with four decimals.
- Disconnect the load cells from the instrument and check that there is no moisture in the cell
junction box caused by condensation or water infiltration. If so, drain the system or replace it if
necessary.
- The value between the positive signal wire and the negative signal wire must be equal or similar
to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (output resistance).
- The value between the positive excitation wire and the negative excitation wire must be equal or
similar to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (input resistance).
- The insulation value between the shield and any other cell wire and between any other cell wire
and the body of the load cell must be higher than 20 Mohm.
- Take out the load cell to be tested from underneath the container, or alternatively, lift the
container support.
- Make sure that the excitation of two wires of the load cell connected to the instrument (or
amplifier) is 5 VDC ±3%.
- Measure the response signal between the positive and the negative signal wires by directly
connecting them to the tester, and make sure that it is comprised between 0 and 0.5 mV.
- Apply load to the cell and make sure that there is a signal increment.
IF ONE OF THE ABOVE CONDITIONS IS NOT MET, PLEASE CONTACT THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE SERVICE.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
BASIC INFORMATION
- Connect the metal structure of the weighbridge and the external screw (placed at the rear of the
instrument) to the same earthing system to obtain an equipotential connection.
- It is possible to supply up to eight 350 ohm load cells or sixteen 700 ohm load cells.
- For 4-wire load cells, make a jumper between EX- and REF- and between EX+ and REF+.
- Connect terminal “– SUPPLY” to the RS485 common of the connected instruments in the event
that these receive alternating current input or that they have an optoisolated RS485.
- In case of an RS485 network with several devices it is recommended to activate the 120 ohm
termination resistance on the two devices located at the ends of the network, as described in
section RS485 SERIAL CONNECTION.

INSTRUMENT COMMISSIONING
To turn on the instrument press ON. To turn it off press OFF for about 3 seconds: when
appears release the key.
After a blackout the instrument DOES NOT come on again automatically, you have to press ON.
To guarantee an automatic restart after a blackout, disable the ON key (see section AFTER A
BLACKOUT).
Check that the display shows the weight and that when loading the load cells there is an increase in
weight. If there is not check and verify the connections and correct positioning of the load cells.
- If the instrument has already been theoretical CALIBRATED (plant system identification tag
present on the instrument and on the cover: load cell’s rated data already entered):
▫ Reset to zero (see section TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING).
▫ Check the calibration with sample weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary (see
section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)).
- If the instrument HAS NOT BEEN CALIBRATED (missing plant system identification tag)
proceed with calibration:
▫ If load cells data are unknown, follow the procedure in section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH
SAMPLE WEIGHTS).
▫ Enter the rated data of load cells following the procedure given in section THEORETICAL
CALIBRATION.
▫ Reset to zero (see section TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING).
▫ Check the calibration with sample weights and correct the indicated weight if necessary (see
section REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)).
- Select the printer model used (see section SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTING).
- Set instrument’s clock with current date and time (see section DATE AND TIME SETTING).
- 13 -
PROGRAMMING OF SYSTEM PARAMETERS
From the weight display, press simultaneously keys MENU and ESC to access the parameter setting.
THEORETICAL CALIBRATION
- By modifying the theoretical full scale, the sensitivity or divisions, the real calibration is
cancelled and the theoretical calibration only is considered valid.
- If the theoretical full scale and the recalculated full scale in real calibration (see section
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)) are equal, this means that the
calibration currently in use is theoretical; if they are different, the calibration in use is the
real calibration based on sample weights.
- By modifying the theoretical full scale, the sensitivity or divisions and all the system’s
parameters containing a weight value will be set to default values (setpoint, hysteresis,
etc.).
- 14 -
MAXIMUM CAPACITY
: Maximum displayable weight (from 0 to max full scale; default: 0). When the weight exceeds
this value by 9 divisions, the display shows . To disable this function, set 0.
Perform this procedure after having set the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION data.
Use this function to set to zero the weight of the empty system after commissioning and then later
on to compensate zero variations due to the presence of product residues.
Procedure:
Set in this parameter the estimated zero value (from 0 to max 999999; default: 0).
- 15 -
REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)
Load onto the weighing system a sample weight, which must be at least 50% of the maximum
quantity to be weighed.
By confirming the message the flashing value of the weight currently on the system is
displayed. In this phase all of the LEDs are off. Adjust the value on display by using the arrow keys if
necessary. After confirming, the new set weight will appear with all the LEDs flashing.
After an additional confirmation, the message will be restored and by repeatedly pressing
the key ESC the weight will once again be displayed.
Example: for a system of maximum capacity 1000 kg and 1 kg division, two sample weights are
available, one of 500 kg and the other one of 300 kg. Load both weights onto the system and correct
the indicated weight to 800. Now remove the 300 kg weight, the system must show 500; remove the
500 kg weight too; the system must read zero. If this does not happen, it means that there is a
mechanical problem affecting the system linearity.
WARNING: identify and correct any mechanical problems before repeating the procedure.
- If theoretical full scale and recalculated full scale in real calibration are equal, it means
that the theoretical calibration is currently in use; otherwise, the real calibration based
on sample weights is in use.
- If the correction made changes the previous full scale for more than 20%, all the
parameters with settable weight values are reset to default values.
- 16 -
FILTER ON THE WEIGHT
The filter enables to stabilise a weight as long as its variations are smaller than the corresponding
“response time”. It is necessary to set this filter according to the type of application and to the full
scale value set.
ANTI PEAK
When the weight is stable, the anti peak filter removes any sudden disturbances with a maximum
duration of 1 second. Confirm the filter on the weight with ENTER and select one of the following
options:
- : anti peak filter enabled (default);
- : anti peak filter disabled.
- 17 -
ZERO PARAMETERS
(from 0 to max full scale; default: 300; considered decimals: 300 – 30.0 – 3.00 – 0.300): this
parameter indicates the maximum weight value resettable by external contact, keypad or serial
protocol.
(from 0 to max 20% of full scale; default: 0): If at switch-on the weight value is lower than
the value set in this parameter and does not exceed the value, the weight is reset. To
disable this function, set 0.
ZERO TRACKING
(from 1 to 5, default: ): When the weight value is stable and, after a second, it
deviates from zero by a figure in divisions smaller or equal to the figure in divisions set in this
parameter, the weight is set to zero. To disable this function, set .
Example: if the parameter is set to 5 and is set to 2, the weight will be automatically
set to zero for variations smaller than or equal to 10 ( x ).

OUTPUTS
The outputs are set by default as follows:
- OUT1: / .
- OUT2: / .
- OUT3, 4, 5: / / / / .
- : the contact will switch on the basis of weight, according to setpoint (see section SETPOINT
PROGRAMMING).
- 19 -
- : the contact will not switch on the basis of weight, but is controlled by remote protocol
commands.
- : relay switching occurs when the weight is stable.
- : (OUT 1 only): connect to the green light of the signal station.
- : (OUT2 only): connect to the red light of the signal station.
If the operation mode is selected, the following options are also active:
- : the contact will switch on the basis of gross weight.
- : the contact will switch on the basis of net weight (If the net function is not active, the
contact will switch on the basis of gross weight).
- : relay switching occurs for both positive and negative weight values.
- : relay switching occurs for positive weight values only.
- : relay switching occurs for negative weight values only.
By confirming with ENTER the setpoint operation can be set to the value 0:
- : relay switching will not occur if the setpoint value is 0.
- :
- setpoint = 0 and switching = : relay switching occurs when the weight is 0; the
relay will switch again when the weight is different from zero, taking hysteresis into
account (both for positive and for negative weights).
- setpoint = 0 and switching = : relay switching occurs for a weight higher than or equal
to 0, the relay will switch again for values below 0, taking hysteresis into account.
- setpoint = 0 and switching = : relay switching occurs for a weight lower than or equal
to 0, the relay will switch again for values above 0, taking hysteresis into account.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET/GROSS)
To perform a net operation (SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE), close the NET/GROSS input or press the
TARE f key for less than 3 seconds. The instrument displays the net weight (just set to zero) and the
NET LED lights up. To display the gross weight again, keep the NET/GROSS input closed or press
TARE for 3 seconds.
This operation can be repeated many times by the operator to allow the loading of several products.
Example:
Put the box on the scale, the display shows the box weight; press TARE, the display shows the net
weight to zero; introduce the product in the box, the display shows the product weight. This
operation can be repeated several times.
While the net weight is displayed, keep ▲ pressed to display gross weight. When
the key is released the net weight will be displayed again.
The semi-automatic tare operation is not allowed if the gross weight is zero (the display
shows ).
- 21 -
PRESET TARE (SUBTRACTIVE TARE DEVICE)
It is possible to manually set a preset tare value to be subtracted from the display
value provided that the ≤ max capacity condition is verified. In multi-
interval instruments, the max permitted value is Max1 (max capacity of range 1).
By default the instrument shows the last programmed preset tare value: to apply it press ENTER.
After setting the tare value, going back to the remote display, the display shows the net weight
(subtracting the preset tare value) and the NET LED lights up to show that a tare has been entered.
To delete a preset tare and return to gross weight display, hold down TARE for about 3 seconds or
keep the NET/GROSS input (if any) closed for the same length of time (3 seconds). The preset tare
value is set to zero. The NET LED is turned off when the gross weight is displayed once again.
While the net weight is displayed, keep ▲ pressed to display the preset tare. When
the key is released the net weight will be displayed again.
ALL THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET) AND PRESET TARE FUNCTIONS WILL BE
LOST WHEN THE INSTRUMENT IS TURNED OFF.
By closing the SEMI-AUTOMATIC ZERO input, the weight is set to zero; alternatively, by pressing
the 0 key for less than 3 seconds, the message is displayed for 3 seconds, by
pressing ENTER the weight is set to zero.
This function is only allowed if the weight is lower than the value (see section
RESETTABLE WEIGHT SETTING FOR SMALL WEIGHT CHANGES), otherwise the alarm
appears and the weight is not set to zero.

If the RS485 network exceeds 100 metres in length or baud-rate over 9600 are
used, two terminating resistors are needed at the ends of the network. Two
120 ohm resistors must be connected between the “+” and “–” terminals of the

instruments or converters, refer to the specific manuals to determine whether it is
necessary to connect the above-mentioned resistors.

LORRY DATABASE
The lorry database allows you to associate a preset tare value (weight of the empty lorry) to a
database index. This value may be subsequently recalled rapidly and used to perform a single
weighing operation (see section SINGLE WEIGHING USING THE DATABASE).
DATABASE MODIFICATION
- 30 -
OPERATION
For this type of operation two weighings per lorry are required:
1. upon the lorry entering, its weight is recorded and a numeric code is automatically associated
to it;
2. upon the lorry leaving, the operator enters the numeric code assigned during the first
weighing (it allows the lorry identification), records the weight when leaving and calculates
the difference between the two weighed values; the actual quantity of the material loaded
onto or unloaded from the lorry is thus obtained.
NOTES: Operation with double weighing is only possible with the gross weight. The codes range
from 1 to 254. It is thus possible to have up to 254 weighings open at the same time ("outstanding”
lorries that have been weighed for the first time but not the second time).
Once code 254 is used the instrument automatically searches for the first free code (not connected
to an open weighing) starting back from 1.
To have the code restart from 1, delete the open weighings (see section OPEN WEIGHINGS), even
if there are no open weighings.
To display, print or delete the open weighings, see sections OPEN WEIGHINGS and PRINTING
EXAMPLES.
The totals are updated every time a second weighing is completed. To display, print or delete the
totals, see sections TOTALS and PRINTING EXAMPLES.
The conditions that allow a new weighing to be carried out can be set (see section STORAGE
CONDITIONS AND WEIGHINGS PRINTING).
- 31 -
SINGLE WEIGHING
In this case the lorry is weighed once: the weight of the empty lorry is used as preset tare; the
value may be entered on the spot or retrieved from the lorry database.
NOTES: Operation with single weighing is only possible with the net weight. The totals are updated
every time a weighing is completed. To display, print or delete the totals, see sections TOTALS and
PRINTING EXAMPLES. The conditions that allow a new weighing to be carried out can be set (see
section STORAGE CONDITIONS AND WEIGHINGS PRINTING).
- 32 -
DOUBLE WEIGHING (ENTRY/EXIT) WITH TRAILER
This type of operation allows the weighing of a lorry consisting of tractor and trailer.
Four weighing operations per lorry are required:
1 and 2: when the lorry arrives (first weighing), the weights of the tractor and trailer are recorded
and a numeric code is automatically associated to the lorry;
3 and 4: upon the lorry leaving (second weighing) the operator enters the numeric code assigned
during the first weighing (it allows the lorry identification), records the weights of the tractor
and trailer when leaving and calculates the difference between the two weighed values;
the actual quantity of the material loaded onto or unloaded from the lorry is thus obtained.
After loading or unloading the lorry, the tractor goes back on the weighbridge.
When the weight is stable (stability LED on), press OUT.
If only one “outstanding” lorry is present, which means a lorry that made the first weighing, the
instrument automatically retrieves its code; otherwise it requests and the operator enters the
lorry code with the numerical keypad and confirms it with ENTER.
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and shows (printing takes place
after the subsequent second weighing of the trailer).
- 33 -
4. SECOND WEIGHING OF THE TRAILER (EXIT)
NOTES: Operation with double weighing is only possible with the gross weight. The codes range
from 1 to 254. It is thus possible to have up to 254 weighings open at the same time ("outstanding”
lorries that have been weighed for the first time but not the second time).
Once code 254 is used the instrument automatically searches for the first free code (not connected
to an open weighing) starting back from 1.
To have the code restart from 1, delete the open weighings (see section OPEN WEIGHINGS), even
if there are no open weighings.
To display, print or delete the open weighings, see sections OPEN WEIGHINGS and PRINTING
EXAMPLES.
The totals are updated every time a second weighing is completed. To display, print or delete the
totals, see sections TOTALS and PRINTING EXAMPLES.
The conditions that allow a new weighing to be carried out can be set (see section STORAGE
CONDITIONS AND WEIGHINGS PRINTING).
In this case only two weighing operations are performed (tractor and trailer): the weights of the
empty tractor and trailer are used as preset tare; the value is entered on the spot or saved in the
lorry database.
- 34 -
- The trailer goes onto the weighbridge.
Press PTARE, enter the weight value of the empty trailer (preset tare) via the numerical keypad,
confirm with ENTER.
The display shows the weight of the material loaded onto the trailer (net weight).
Press IN if the lorry is entering (the material will be unloaded).
Press OUT if the lorry is leaving (the material will be loaded).
The display shows the total weight (tractor + trailer) of the material preceded by the letter for
“Unloaded” if unloaded, letter for “Loaded” if loaded.
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and sends it for printing.
The instrument automatically goes back to showing the gross weight.
NOTES: Operation with single weighing is only possible with the net weight. The totals are updated
every time a weighing is completed. To display, print or delete the totals, see sections TOTALS and
PRINTING EXAMPLES.
The conditions that allow a new weighing to be carried out can be set (see section STORAGE
CONDITIONS AND WEIGHINGS PRINTING).
- 35 -
MULTIPLE WEIGHING
In this mode, up to 255 weighing operations can be performed on the same lorry by calculating
the difference with the previous weighed value each time. This function may be useful for lorries
fitted with more than one compartment in case you wish to know the weight of the material in each
individual compartment or if various subsequent loading and unloading operations are carried out.
2. SUBSEQUENT WEIGHINGS
3. WEIGHING CLOSING
Keep the OUT key pressed until you see ; press ▲ or ▼ to display .
Press ENTER.
If only one “outstanding” lorry is present, which means a lorry that made the first weighing, the
instrument automatically retrieves its code; otherwise it requests and the operator enters the
lorry code with the numerical keypad and confirms it with ENTER.
The display shows and the weighing is closed.
NOTES: Operation is only possible with the gross weight. The totals are updated every time a
weighing is completed after the first one. To display, print or delete the totals, see sections TOTALS
and PRINTING EXAMPLES.
The conditions that allow a new weighing to be carried out can be set (see section STORAGE
CONDITIONS AND WEIGHINGS PRINTING).
