3. Installation and Precautions
3.1.1. Installation and Precautions
The AD-4329A weighing indicator is a precision electronic instrument. Handle the
indicator carefully.
The operating temperature is -10 to +40 (14 to 104 ).
Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.
Misoperation or other problems may be caused by an unstable power source including
momentary power failrue or instantaneous noise. Use a stable power source.
Do not connect the power cord before the installation is finished.
Please confirm that the local voltage and receptacle type are correct for your scale.
The Operate/Standby key ( key) can not cut the power. The load cell and the internal
circuit are supplied with power in the standby state.
Use shielded cable for all connections. Connect the cable shields to the shield
terminal or case as an earth terminal.
Earth ground the indicator. Do not join the earth ground line with other electric
power equipment. There is an earth ground terminal at the power cord receptacle.
Do not install the scale in a place where it is apt to be charged with static electricity,
or where the relative humidity is lower than 45%RH. Plastic and isolators are apt to
be charged with static electricity.
3.1.2. The Load Cell Connections

Connect the load cell wires to the connector (receptacle), at the rear panel, using
the accessory load cell plug.
It is possible to connect a 4 wire cable that 1pin-2pin and 3pin-4pin are shorted, if
the distance between the indicator and a load cell is shorter than 5m.
The output voltage of a load cell is a very sensitive signal. Space the load cell cable
away from any noise source.
It is possible to connect eight 350 load cells
The load cell drive is 5VDC 5% between EXC+ and EXC-, the maximum current
120mA.
AD-4329A Weighing Indicator Page 5 3. Installation and Precaution

3.1.3. Adjustment of the Load Cell Output
Caution Use a metal film resistor in the range of 50k to 500k with a good
temperature coefficient, when adding a resistor to adjust a load cell
output. Use as a large resistance value as possible in the range in
which zero adjustment is possible. Solder this resistor at a point near
the load cell or the indicator.
In Case of Reducing the Output Voltage

When the zero output is too large, add a resistor
between EXC+ and SIG-.
In Case of Adding an Offset Voltage to the Output

When the zero output is too small, add a resistor
between EXC+ and SIG+.
3.1.4. Verifying Load Cell Output and Input Sensitivity

The input sensitivity of the indicator is 0.15V/division or more. Adapt to the following
inequality, when you design a weighing instrument using the indicator and load
cell(s).
Caution A change in input voltage sensitivity is equivalent to a one division
change of the display. Select as large an input voltage sensitivity voltage
as possible so that the weighing interval becomes stable.
Consider the leverage if a lever is used.

5. Calibration
This weighing indicator, converts an input voltage from a load cell to the "mass"
value, and displays it. Calibration is the adjustment function so that the scale
(indicator) can weigh correctly.
5.1.1. Items of Calibration Mode

There are seven items in the calibration function.
Basic Items
The minimum division ............... Setting the weighing interval.
The maximum capacity ............. Setting the maximum display.
Zero calibration.......................... When unloading any weight on the weighing unit

( there is nothing on the weighing pan), this function
performs adjustment so as to display the zero point
mark . Select an adjustment method from the
"weighing input" or "digital input".
Comment This function is the fundamental starting point to
weigh anything, and influences the performance of
scale (indicator).
Span calibration......................... The function to measure an input voltage variation by

loading to the weighing unit correctly. Select an
adjustment method from the "weighing arbitrary
mass", "weighing capacity mass" or "digital input".
Optional Items (Sub-functions)

Range function............................ The function for a multi-interval scale. Select "dual
range scale" or "triple range scale". Each range
has parameters of "weighing range" and "division"
Digital linearization function........ The function to revise a linearity deviation using

weighing points. (up to three weighing points)
Gravity compensation function... The function to revise weighing error between the
calibration location and another weighing location
using gravity acceleration.
Caution The maximum display is less than or equal to 10000 divisions. This number
is calculated from the maximum capacity divided by the minimum division.
Check the accuracy of weighing instrument periodically.
Recommended mass, use a mass heavier than 2/3 maximum capacity.
AD-4329A Weighing Indicator Page 11 5. Calibration

Calibrate the scale, if it is moved to another location or the environment
has changed.
It is not necessary to set the gravity acceleration correction, when calibrating
the scale with a calibration mass at the place where the scale is used.
Enter the stable weighing data while the MD mark is turned off. If
unstable data is used, it may cause a weighing error. Arrange the
condition using the F00 filter function.
The span calibration needs the zero calibration data. We recommend
that you perform the span calibration immediately after the zero
calibration.
Perform the digital linearization function immediately after the zero
calibration. And perform the span calibration continuously.
Select a decimal point and weighing unit at the CF function CF00, CF 01.
If you use the dual or triple range function of the multi-interval scale,
perform the "Range Function", "Zero Calibration" and "Span Calibration".
