USER WARNINGS

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PROPER USE OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENT


- Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight
- Repair the instrument from rain (except special IP versions)
- Do not wash with water jets (except special IP versions)
- Do not dip in water
- Do not spill liquid on the instrument
- Do not use solvents to clean the instrument
- Do not install in areas subject to explosion hazard (except special Atex versions)

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF WEIGHING INSTRUMENTS

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.

MAXIMUM CABLE LENGTHS


- RS485: 1000 metres with AWG24, shielded and twisted cables
- RS232: 15 metres for baud rates up to 19200
- Analog current output: up to 500 metres with 0.5 mm2 cable
- Analog voltage output: up to 300 metres with 0.5 mm2 cable

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LOAD CELLS

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.

WINDY CONDITIONS - KNOCKS - VIBRATIONS: The use of weigh modules is strongly


recommended for all load cells to compensate for misalignment of the support surfaces. The system
designer must ensure that the plant is protected against lateral shifting and tipping relating to:
shocks and vibration; windy conditions; seismic conditions in the installation setting; stability of the
support structure.

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.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED

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.

LOAD CELL TESTING

Load cell resistance measurement (use a digital multimeter):

- 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.

Load cell voltage measurement (use a digital multimeter):

- 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.

At the first start and after long periods of inactivity, leave the instrument on for at least 12
hours to fully charge the battery.

AFTER A BLACKOUT

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 as follows:

- disconnect power supply and open the instrument;


- identify flat connectors coming from the keypad on the main board;
- extract the 4-pole connector;
- short-circuit the following pins using the unused jumper inside the instrument:
▫ WDESK: the two pins further in compared to the main board (see picture to the left);
▫ WTAB / WINOX: the two outer pins compared to the main board (see picture to the right);
- connect the 4-pole flat to the two pins still free complying with initial orientation.

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).

Upon switch-on, the display shows in sequence:


-  →  (ONLY in case of approved program);
- instrument model (e.g.:  or  or );
-  followed by the software code (e.g.: );
- program type:  (bridge);
-  followed by the software version (e.g.: );
-  followed by the hardware code (e.g.: );
- serial number (e.g.: );

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).

PROGRAMMING OF SYSTEM PARAMETERS

From the weight display, press simultaneously keys MENU and ESC to access the parameter setting.

MENU/ENTER: to enter a menu/confirm the data entry.


▲ ▼: to modify the displayed figure or menu item.
◄ ►: to select a new figure.
ESC: to cancel and return to the previous menu.

THEORETICAL CALIBRATION

 +    


This function allows the load cell rated values to be set.

To perform the theoretical calibration set the following parameters in sequence:


-  (Default: ): The system full scale is given by one cell capacity multiplied by the
number of cells used. Example: 4 cells of 1000 kg  FULL SCALE = 1000 x 4 = 4000.
The instrument is supplied with a theoretical full scale value  corresponding to 10000. To
restore factory values, set 0 as full scale.
-  (Default: 2.00000 mV/V): Sensitivity is a load cell rated parameter expressed in mV/V.
Set the average sensitivity value indicated on the load cells. It’s possible to set a value between
0.50000 and 7.00000 mV/V. Example of 4-cell system with sensitivity: 2.00100, 2.00150,
2.00200, 2.00250; enter 2.00175, calculated as (2.00100 + 2.00150 + 2.00200 + 2.00250) / 4.
- : The division (resolution) is the minimum weight increment value which can be
displayed. It is automatically calculated by the system according to the performed calibration, so
that it is equal to 1/10000 of full scale. It can be changed and be variable between 0.0001 and
100 with x1 x2 x5 x10 increments.

- 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.).

This menu may also be accessed directly from the weight display, holding down the 0
key for 3 seconds.

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:

- Confirm the message  by pressing ENTER.


- The weight value to be set to zero is displayed. In this phase all of the LEDs are flashing.
- Confirming once again, the weight is set to zero (the value is stored to the permanent memory).
- Press ▲ to display the value of the total weight reset by the instrument, given by the sum of all
of the previous zero settings.

ZERO VALUE MANUAL ENTRY

 +   


WARNING: Perform this procedure only if it’s not possible to reset the weighed structure tare, for
example because it contains product that cannot be unloaded.

Set in this parameter the estimated zero value (from 0 to max 999999; default: 0).

REAL CALIBRATION (WITH SAMPLE WEIGHTS)

 +   


After having performed the THEORETICAL CALIBRATION and TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING,
this function allows correct calibration to be done using sample weights of known value and, if
necessary, any deviations of the indicated value from the correct value to be corrected.

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.

LINEARISATION OPTION ON MAX 5 POINTS:


It is possible to perform a linearisation of the weight repeating the above-described
procedure up to a maximum of five points, using five different sample weights. The
procedure ends by pressing the ESC button or after entering the fifth value; at this point it will
no longer be possible to change the calibration value, but only to perform a new real calibration. To
perform a new calibration, should return to the weight display and then re-entering into the
calibration menu.
By pressing ▲ after having confirmed the sample weight that has been set, the full scale appears,
recalculated according to the value of the maximum sample weight entered and making reference to
the cell sensitivity set in the theoretical calibration ().

FILTER ON THE WEIGHT

 +  


Setting this parameter allows a stable weight display to be obtained.
To increase the effect (weight more stable) increase the value (from 0 to 9, default 4).
As seen in the diagram:
- By confirming the  message, the currently programmed filter value is displayed.
- By changing and confirming the value, the weight is displayed and it will be possible to
experimentally verify its stability.
- If stability is not satisfactory, confirming brings back the message  and the filter may be
modified again until an optimum result is achieved.

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.

RESETTABLE WEIGHT SETTING FOR SMALL WEIGHT CHANGES

 (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.

AUTOMATIC ZERO SETTING AT POWER-ON

 (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 ).

SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET/GROSS)

THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE OPERATION IS LOST UPON INSTRUMENT POWER-


OFF.

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 ).

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.

- IF A SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET) IS ENTERED, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO


ACCESS THE ENTER PRESET TARE FUNCTION.
- IF A PRESET TARE IS ENTERED, IT’S STILL POSSIBLE TO ACCESS THE SEMI-
AUTOMATIC TARE (NET) FUNCTION. THE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF TARE ARE
ADDED.

ALL THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE (NET) AND PRESET TARE FUNCTIONS WILL BE
LOST WHEN THE INSTRUMENT IS TURNED OFF.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC ZERO (WEIGHT ZERO-SETTING FOR SMALL VARIATIONS)

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

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
line, on the terminal strip of the furthest instruments. Should there be different
instruments or converters, refer to the specific manuals to determine whether it is
necessary to connect the above-mentioned resistors.

DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN RS485 AND RS232 WITHOUT CONVERTER

Since a two-wire RS485 output may be used directly on the RS-232 input of a PC or remote display,
it is possible to implement instrument connection to an RS-232 port in the following manner:

DOUBLE WEIGHING (ENTRY/EXIT)

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.

1. FIRST WEIGHING (ENTRY)

The lorry goes onto the weighbridge.


When the weight is stable (stability LED on), press IN.
The instrument automatically associates a code to the lorry and displays it preceded by the letter
.The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and sends it for printing.

2. SECOND WEIGHING (EXIT)

After loading or unloading, the lorry goes 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 with ENTER.
The system retrieves the corresponding first weighed value from the memory and calculates the
difference between the two weighed values: if the second weighed value is lower than the first, the
material was unloaded and the instrument shows the unloaded weight preceded by the letter  for
“Unloaded”; if the second weighed value is greater than the first, the material was loaded and the
instrument shows the loaded weight preceded by the letter  for “Loaded”.
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and sends it for printing.

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.

SINGLE WEIGHING WITHOUT USING THE DATABASE

The lorry goes onto the weighbridge.


Press PTARE, enter the weight of the empty lorry (preset tare) using the numerical keypad, confirm
with ENTER.
The display shows the weight of the material loaded onto the lorry (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 weight 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.

SINGLE WEIGHING USING THE DATABASE

The lorry goes onto the weighbridge.


Press DB the display shows .
With the numerical keypad enter the database index associated to the lorry (the weight of the empty
lorry must have already been entered previously as preset tare in the database, see section LORRY
DATABASE).
Press ENTER.
The instrument applies the preset tare read from the database and shows the weight of the material
loaded onto the lorry (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 weight 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).

- 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.

The operations must be carried out by following the sequence described.

1. FIRST WEIGHING OF THE TRACTOR (ENTRY)

The tractor goes onto the weighbridge.


When the weight is stable (stability LED on), hold the IN key pressed until you see 
(Trailer = it indicates the tractor + trailer function); press ENTER.
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and shows  (printing takes place
after the subsequent first weighing of the trailer).

2. FIRST WEIGHING OF THE TRAILER (ENTRY)

The trailer goes onto the weighbridge.


When the weight is stable (stability LED on), press IN.
The instrument automatically associates a code to the lorry (valid for both the tractor and the trailer)
and shows it preceded by letter .
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and sends the receipt of the first weighting
for printing with the data of the tractor (marked with the letter A) and the trailer (marked with B).

3. SECOND WEIGHING OF THE TRACTOR (EXIT)

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)

The trailer goes onto the weighbridge.


When the weight is stable (stability LED on), press OUT.
The system recovers the weights regarding the first weighing from the memory (tractor and trailer).
If the second weighing (tractor + trailer) is lower than the first (tractor + trailer), the material was
unloaded; the instrument shows the unloaded weight preceded by the letter  for “Unloaded”.
If the second weighing (tractor + trailer) is greater than the first (tractor + trailer), the material was
loaded; the instrument shows the loaded weight preceded by the letter  for “Loaded”.
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and sends the receipt of the second
weighting for printing with the data of the tractor and the trailer.

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

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.

1. FIRST MULTIPLE WEIGHING

The lorry goes onto the weighbridge.


When the weight is stable (stability LED on), keep the IN key pressed until you see ; press
▲ or ▼ to display .
Press ENTER.
The instrument saves the weighed value in the memory and sends it for printing.

2. SUBSEQUENT WEIGHINGS

After loading or unloading, the lorry goes on the weighbridge.

SIGNAL STATION

A red-and-green-light signal station may be piloted from the relay outputs of the instrument already
active by default according to the factory settings. To enable it, select:
- Function  for OUT 1 and connect OUT 1 to the green light of the signal station.
- Function  for OUT2 and connect OUT2 to the red light of the signal station.
For more details on how to set the output functions see section OUTPUTS AND INPUTS
CONFIGURATION.

In standby mode the signal station is off.


Enabling takes place when the lorry goes on the weighbridge, i.e. when the weight exceeds the
minimum weight (20e): the red light turns on to warn the driver to halt the vehicle once on the
weighbridge.
Once the weighing has been completed and saved, the red light turns off and the green light comes
on and gives the go ahead.
When the weight goes below the minimum weight (20e) once again, the green light turns on and the
signal station returns to the standby mode.

be connected between the “+” and “–“ terminals of the line, on the terminal strip of the
furthest instruments. Should there be different instruments or converters, refer to the
specific manuals to determine whether it is necessary to connect the above-mentioned
resistors.

USE WITH CLM8 INTELLIGENT JUNCTION BOX

WARNING: the weight indicator must be properly configured before operating in


combination with the intelligent junction box (see section DATA DELETION AND
PROGRAM SELECTION).

When the indicator is used in combination with the CLM8, the load cells are connected to the
junction box, which transmits the weight to the indicator; all the operations of calibration, zeroing,
equalization and channel selection can be performed remotely through the indicator.

CONNECTION TO CLM8
