LT1300
Wall Mount Load Cell Indicator

Operating Manual – English 2.01
Introduction
The LT1300 wall mount load cell indicator is a precision digital indicator for load cell and strain gauge applications.
The high bright 6-digit 7-segment 20mm LED displays and the sunlight readable graphic LCD display make for easy setup
and readability. A simple menu system allows for easy configuration of display and load cell settings. The load cell
calibration can be done directly from the load cell calibration certificate or from using known weights.
A universal mains switch mode power supply (85-264VAC) is provided as standard but an optional low voltage (10-
30VDC) isolated power supply or a high voltage (25-70VDC) isolated power supply can be installed.
The LT1300 contains precision front end circuitry for high accuracy and stability. The ratiometric ADC circuitry
automatically compensates for temperature drift and excitation voltage variances due to cable loss. The load cell
excitation voltage is 5VDC and can interface with both 4 wire and 6 wire load cells. The LT1300 can power up to 6x350Ω
load cells.
RS232 and RS485 communications is supplied as standard with the MODBUS ™ RTU and MODBUS™ ASCII protocol.
A simple ASCII out protocol is also provided for serial printing and communicating to large displays.
The LT1300 also has analog out circuitry to generate a precision 0/4-20mA or 0-10V analog output signal.
The LT1300 also includes advanced features such as auto-zero tracking, user input linearisation, max/min recording,
programmable front push buttons, programmable digital inputs, security menu lockout, zero indication, motion indication,
advanced digital filtering, plus many more to provide a all in one precision load cell indicator.

enclosure.
3.4 Hardware Connections, Jumpers and Fuse position
Below is an exploded view of the hardware connections and jumper locations of the main circuit board.
3.5 Power Supply Wiring

There are 3 different power supply variants! Please check which power supply is installed before connecting power by
checking the sticker on the gland side of the instrument.
A universal mains switch mode power supply (85-264VAC) is provided as standard but an optional low voltage (10-
30VDC) isolated power supply or a high voltage (25-70VDC) isolated power supply can be installed.
The instrument will consume a maximum of 10W with 6x350 ohm load cells, all relays on, mA analog output fully loaded,
all led segments illuminated and the LCD backlight on.
WARNING - Access to power terminals should be restricted to authorised skilled personnel only. Application of supply
voltages higher than those for which the instrument is intended may compromise safety and can cause permanent
damage.
AC Power Supply DC Power Supply
3.6 Fuse Replacement

The LT1300 contains a built in fuse. The fuse is a slow blow 2A Wickmann part number 3721200000. The fuse can also
be purchased from RS Components part number 226-6599. The diagram below illustrates the position of the fuse on the
main circuit board.
3.7 Load Cell Connection

The load cell should be connected to the instrument as in the diagrams below. When making connection to the load cell
make sure you use screened cable connected to a ground point at one side only. Avoid running cables in the same
trunking as high current/voltage cables and cables supplying DC motors or contactors etc.
It is recommended to use 6-wire load cells for the best results. When using 6-wire load cells make sure you connect the
sense+ and sense- wires as close as possible to the load cell. The sense lines compensate for any voltage loss due to
the wiring impedance.
If using 4-wire load cells then the sense+ must be connected to the excitation+ and the sense- must be connected to the
excitation- as close as possible to the instrument.
Automatic offset calibration

The LT1300 contains a unique feature in that it automatically does an offset calibration to cancel out any temperature
effects in the electronics. This is to maintain optimum accuracy. The automatic offset calibration happens at power on as
well as every few minutes. Care must be taken to ensure that a load cell is connected before power is applied to
the instrument otherwise an incorrect reading will be displayed until the next offset calibration takes place.
4-Wire Load Cell Connection

6-Wire Load Cell Connection
Millivolt (mV) only input

If the LT1300 is used as a millivolt meter or if a true mV output calibrator is used then the input must be connected as in
the diagram below. This is necessary to maintain the common mode voltage for the ratiometric ADC.
ADC Ratiometric input

The LT1300 uses a ratiometric ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) to obtain its precision. This means it uses the sense
lines as the reference to the ADC. If the excitation voltage to the load cells varies (i.e. due to cable length, temperature
etc) then the output voltage of the load cell will vary in proportion to the excitation voltage. This form of measurement
improves the accuracy of the instrument and is perfectly suited for bridge circuits such as load cells.
Load Cell Excitation Voltage

The LT1300 provides a stable built in 5VDC load cell excitation voltage. The LT1300 can power up to 6x350Ω load cells
using 5VDC excitation. Connect the sense+ to excitation+ and sense- to excitation- if using a 4-wire load cell.
3.8 Digital Input Connection

The LT1300 comes with 3 programmable digital inputs. The digital inputs can be used with either potential free contacts
such as relay contacts, switches, transistor outputs or can be voltage driven. The inputs are not isolated from the
instruments input circuitry. Each digital input line is pulled up to +5VDC with a 10kΩ resistor. Each digital input line has
over voltage protection and input filtering with hysteresis. Digital input 4 is not used on the load cell indicator.
3.9 RS232 Communications

RS232 communications is standard on the LT1300. The RS232 protocol allows for a wired connection to be established
as far as 100ft (30m). The RS232 port is also used for firmware upgrades.
3.10 RS485 Communications

The RS485 protocol allows for a wired connection to be established as far as 4000ft (1200m). RS232 only allows for a
wired connection up to 100ft (30m). The LT1300 includes an on-board termination resistor which can be selected by
linking J2 on the main circuit board. The termination resistor is 120 Ohms.
3.11 Mechanical Relays

4 Mechanical relays are provided as standard on the LT1300. Interposing relays are recommended for heavy duty
applications. A R-C Snubber network or MOV maybe required for switching AC loads and a freewheeling diode or MOV
maybe required for switching DC loads. An optional inductive load suppressor can be ordered and added to every relay
output to suppress transient surges. Avoid running the alarm cables in the same trunking as the load cell cable.
3.12 Solid-State Relays (Optional)

Up to 4 solid-state relays can be added as an option. These are factory fitted and take the position of the equivalent
mechanical relay. Interposing relays are recommended for heavy duty applications. A R-C Snubber network or MOV
maybe required for switching AC loads and a freewheeling diode or MOV maybe required for switching DC loads. An
optional inductive load suppressor can be ordered and added to every relay output to suppress transient surges. Avoid
running the alarm cables in the same trunking as the load cell cable.
Noise suppression device for switching AC or DC devices
An optional noise suppression device can be ordered. Install these devices as close to the load as possible.
3.13 Analog Out / Isolated Analog Out (Optional)

The LT1300 has the analog output fitted as standard. The Analog output uses a high precision 16 bit DAC (Digital to
Analog converter) to provide analog ranges of 0-20mA, 4-20mA and 0-10V. The current output is source, not sink and can
drive a maximum of 500Ω. The voltage output can drive a minimum load of 1kΩ. The current output also has a unique
open loop detection feature. If the current loop is broken then the words “LOOP ERROR” will be briefly displayed on the
LCD display. Connect the analog output as in the diagram below. An optional isolated analog out can be fitted to the
LT1300.
3.14 RTC Battery Replacement

The internal battery will have to be replaced if the LT1300 looses its time when the instrument is switched off and on. The
battery is of type CR2032. The battery is located on the underside of the display circuit board. The diagram below shows
the location of the battery.
3.15 EMI Installation Guidelines

The instrument is designed with a high degree of immunity to EMI but the following guidelines will help in the successful
installation of the instrument in the industrial environment. Cable length, routing and shielding can mean the difference
between a successful or troublesome installation.
-Signal and control cables should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, DC motors etc.
-Never run signal or control cables in the same trunking as AC power lines or high current carrying conductors.
-Cables should be run in metal conduit that is grounded.
-Do not run cable near powerful radio transmitting devices eg. Two way radios.
-Keep cables as short as possible. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI then short run cables.
-Switching inductive loads cause high EMI. Use R-C Snubber networks or transient suppression devices across inductive
loads.
-The instrument should be mounted in a grounded metal enclosure.
-Use shielded cables for all connections to the instrument. Some applications could require that one side of the screen is
grounded.
-The use of external EMI suppression devices are recommended in high noise environments.

4.2 Keyboard Description

The LT1300 contains 4 dedicated function keys which can be enabled in the Function Key menu option. During normal
display mode these are:
This is the manual zero push button. If enabled, this function key will perform a manual zero within the zero band
setting. This is a useful function if there is some residue material left on the scale.
This is the tare push button. The tare function key can be selected between “AUTO”, “MANUAL” or “DISABLED”.
If “AUTO” is selected then the tare push button will tare the gross weight automatically. If “MANUAL” is selected
then the user can manually enter a tare value when the push button is pressed. The net LED will illuminate to
indicate that the LED display is showing the net weight.
This is the print push button. If enabled, this function key allows the user to print the assigned value via the
RS232 or the RS485 interface. The print LED will briefly illuminate when the print push button is pressed. The
print button will only work if either the RS232 or RS485 ASCII Out mode is selected.
This is the gross/net toggle push button. If enabled, this function key will toggle the LED display between showing
the gross and net weight. The net LED will illuminate to indicate that the LED display is showing the net weight.
These keys also serve as the up, down, left, right keys when navigating the menu system. The up key also changes the
sign of a value when in editing a numeric value.
Keypad
The LT1300 contains a full alpha-numeric keypad for data entry in programing mode. During
the normal display mode certain keys have alternate functions. These are:
These keys select page 1, page 2 or page 3 on the LCD display.
This is the LED display toggle push button. If enabled, this function key will toggle the display in the following
order. The minimum recorded weight, the maximum recorded weight and then the current measured weight
value. The LED display will flash either “MIN” or “MAX” to indicate that the displayed value is either the minimum
or maximum recorded weight.
This is the display hold push button. If enabled, the function key will display hold the current measured weight
value. The LED display will flash “HOLD” to indicate that the LED displayed value is the display hold value.
Press the function key again to cancel the display hold function.
This is the alarm latch push button. If enabled, this function key will reset any of the latched alarms when the
alarm condition has been removed. This menu option is only displayed if any of the alarm latch functions have
been enabled.
5 Menu System
5.1 Main Menu
The main menu is entered by pressing and holding down the key for 3 seconds. The following menu items will be
displayed.
Load Cell configuration setup menu
Press the up key to proceed to the next menu option
Alarm configuration setup menu
Analog output setup menu
RS232 and RS485 communications setup menu
Function keys setup menu
Digital inputs setup menu
Miscellaneous items setup menu
Back to the start of the main menu

5.1.1 Exiting the menu system
Press the key when the main menu items are showing to exit the menu system. All the settings are saved and the
instrument will then return to the normal display mode.
Note: The menu system has a 2 minute program timeout. If no key has been pressed within this period
then the instrument will save all settings and return to the normal display mode.
5.2 Load Cell Configuration Menu

This menu configures the load cell parameters and also allows the user to calibrate the load cell system.
Select the engineering display units. The units can be selected from “NONE”, “g” grams,
“kg” kilograms, “t” metric tonnes, “oz” ounces, “lb” pounds, “T” imperial tons and “N”
newtons.
Select the display decimal point.
Select the display rounding in display counts. The round function rounds the display value
to the nearest rounding increment. Eg. With a rounding setting of “5”, a display value of 233 will
be rounded up to 235. A setting of “10” will create a dummy zero. The display rounding function
can be used in conjunction with the digital filter settings to create a more stable display in noisy
environments. The display rounding can be selected from “1”, “2”, “5”, “10”, “20”, “50”, “100”
or “200” display counts.
5.2.1 Advanced Digital Filtering

The LT1300 instrument contains an advanced digital filter algorithm. The filter works by filtering small changes between
measurements but will react instantaneously to a large step response. There are 2 settings that are used to setup the
digital filter, namely the filter band and the filter time. The filter band is the threshold in counts that the value must change
by in order for the instrument to recognise it as a step response. The display will jump to this value immediately if a step
response is detected. The filter time is the time in seconds that the input signal will be filtered provided that the input
remains within the filter band setting. The filter is achieved by taking the moving average of the input signal for the filter
time setting.
An increase in filter time leads to a more stable display but with a reduced reaction time. Use the filter time in conjunction
with the filter band and display rounding settings to create a tradeoff between reaction time and display stability.
The diagram below illustrates the use of the filter time and the filter band.
See the paragraph above for an explanation of the filter band.
Select the filter time. See the paragraph above for an explanation of the filter time. A value of
“1”, “3”, “5” or “10” seconds can be selected.
Enter the zero band setting in display counts. The auto-zero tracking and the manual gross zero
will work within the limits of this band.
Select the minimum and maximum assignment. The instrument will use this variable for the
minimum and maximum comparison. Select from “GROSS” or “NET”.
Lineariser setup sub-menu
For non-linear processes, up to 16 scaling points may be used to provide a piece-wise linear approximation. The greater
the number of points the greater the accuracy. Each point has a real value and a corresponding display value. The real
value is the actual value of the input as it would be with the lineariser feature turned off, the display value is the desired
value.
Setup the lineariser as follows:
-The instrument must be setup and calibrated as normal.

-Apply test signals and record the actual readings on the display.
-Activate the lineariser and enter the real values and its corresponding display/desired value.
-The instrument can be checked by applying the original test signal and verifying the display value.
Note:
If the measured value is above the last actual point then the
lineariser will use the last 2 points to calculate the slope and
similarly is the measured value is below the first actual point
then it will use the first 2 points to calculate the slope.
Select to enable the lineariser feature.
Select the number of lineariser scaling points.
Enter the actual or real value.
Enter the display or desired value.
Auto-Zero Tracking Sub-Menu
The auto-zero tracking feature will zero the weight display at regular intervals as long as the measured weight is within
the zero band setting. The LCD display will briefly flash “AUTO-ZERO” when an auto-zero has been performed. When the
instrument restarts, the auto zero correction is lost, but it will start again with a new auto zero correction. Manual zeroing
can also be done via a front push button or via a rear digital input. The auto-zero tracking function can be used to
compensate for zero drift. Zero drift may be caused by changes in the electronics or accumulation of material on the
weight system. The auto-zero band should be set large enough to track normal zero drift, but small enough not to
interfere with normal measuring.
The diagram to the right illustrates the

use of the auto-zero tracking function.
Select to enable the auto-zero tracking feature.
Auto-zero tracking delay time. This defines how often an auto zero is attempted.
Select the motion indication band in display counts. The display value must remain within the
motion band for 1 second in order to illuminate the motion indication LED. A motion band of
”OFF”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “5”, “10”, “20” or “50” can be selected.
5.2.2 Load Cell Calibration Sequence
The LT1300 can be calibrated in 2 ways. Either by using known weights or from the load cell calibration certificate.
Calibration using the load cell calibration certificate
The following parameters must be entered into the LT1300 from the load cell calibration certificate.
Enter the value in engineering units of the low calibration point of the system. This is
normally zero.
Enter the value in engineering units of the high calibration point of the system eg.
5000kg. This is normally the full rating value of the load cells.
Enter the value in mV/V that corresponds to the low display value. This value is normally found
on the load cells calibration certificate. The load cells offset zero error is normally
expressed as uV (microvolts) at 10V excitation. Eg. A load cell zero error with no load is 560uV
(0.56mV) at 10V excitation. To convert to mV/V divide by 10 which equals 0.056mV. This value
must then be entered into the low mV/V setting.
Enter the value in mV/V that corresponds to the high display value. This value is normally
found on the load cells calibration certificate. The required value is the rated value of the load
cell in mV/V at full load.
Calibration using known weights menu.
Calibration using known weights

This allows the user to calibrate the LT1300 using known weights. Before the LT1300 can calculate the weight accurately
it must know the the mV/V and display values of 2 known weights. The calibration sequence will prompt the user to apply
known weights and enter the corresponding weight.
For best results the system should be given a warm up time of a minimum of 15 minutes before calibration takes
place and the 2 known weights should be as different from each other as possible to allow the LT1300 to try and
obtain the greatest resolution. The high calibration mass should also be as close to the maximum system
capacity as possible (Full load on the load cells)
The low and high display and corresponding mV/V values can be entered manually in the “LC CALIBRATE” menu option.
This allows the user to enter and apply the low load cell calibration weight. The low weight
is normally zero.
Apply the low calibration weight to the scale and enter the display value
that corresponds to the low calibration weight.
The LT1300 will start to average and calculate the mV/V value that
corresponds to the low calibration weight.
Done! The low calibration weight can now be removed. The low display
value and its corresponding mV/V value will be saved in the “LC
CALIBRATE” menu settings.
This allows the user to enter and apply the high load cell calibration weight.
Apply the high calibration weight to the scale and enter the display value
that corresponds to the high calibration weight.
The LT1300 will start to average and calculate the mV/V value that
corresponds to the high calibration weight.
Done! The high calibration weight can now be removed. The high display
value and its corresponding mV/V value will be saved in the “LC
CALIBRATE” menu settings.
Back to the start of the calibration using known weights menu.
Calibrating using a Load Cell Simulator or mV simulator

Calibrating the LT1300 using known weights is the most accurate way to calibrate the instrument. Other calibration
equipment such as a load cell simulator or mV calibrator can also be used.
Using a load cell simulator is the easiest and best way to calibrate the LT1300 and this requires no additional interface
circuitry because the load cell simulator will setup the common mode voltage required by the input to the ADC.
The circuit as illustrated to the right must be constructed if

trying to calibrate the LT1300 using a pure mV signal such
that of a pure mV output calibrator. The resistors can be of
a type 1k Ohm 1/4W 50ppm 1%. Please note that the
resistor junction is only connected on the negative signal
input. The below circuit is required to setup a common
mode voltage for the ratiometric ADC.
5.3 Alarm Configuration Menu
This menu configures the alarm parameters.
The Alarm 1 setup menu is shown below. The setup menu is identical for each of the alarms.
Select the alarm mode. The alarm mode can be set to:
“OFF”: The alarm is disabled
“LOW”: A low alarm is activated when the measured value is below the alarm setpoint.
“HIGH” : A high alarm is activated when the measured value is higher then the alarm
setpoint
“DEV” A deviation alarm which is activated when the measured value falls outside of
the deviation band.
Select the alarm assignment. The alarm will use this value to compare against the set point
value. The alarm can be selected to work off the “GROSS”, “NET”, “MIN” or “MAX” recorded
weight.
Select the alarm logic. The alarm can be set to “NORMAL” or “INVERT”.
Enter the alarm hysteresis value. The hysteresis value is normally used to prevent an alarm
being activated and deactivated when a noisy measurement dithers around the set point value.
Enter the alarm on delay value in seconds that the alarm condition must persist before the
alarm is activated.
Enter the alarm off delay value in seconds that the alarm condition must persist before the
alarm is de-activated.
The alarm can be set to remain activated even if the alarm condition has been removed. When
the alarm condition has gone then the alarm latch can be reset by either a digital input or via the
front alarm latch reset push button.
Back to the start of the alarm configuration menu
If the deviation alarm mode is selected.
Enter the deviation low value. The low value of the band is the set point minus the
deviation low value. This menu option is only shown if the alarm mode is set to deviation.
Enter the deviation high value. The high value of the band is the set point plus the
deviation high value. This menu option is only shown if the alarm mode is set to deviation.
The above diagram illustrates the use of a high alarm with hysteresis and on/off delay.
5.4 Analog Out Configuration Menu
This menu configures the analog output parameters.
Select the analog output type. The analog output type can be selected from “OFF”, “0-20mA”,
“4-20mA” or “0-10V”.
Select the source for the analog retransmission. The source can be selected from the “GROSS”,
“NET”, “MIN” or “MAX” recorded weight.
Enter the display value that corresponds to the selected analog output low value. E.G. 0.000
display counts = 4mA. (4-20mA analog output type shown).
Enter the display value that corresponds to the selected analog output high value. E.G. 20.000
display counts = 20mA. (4-20mA analog output type shown).
Enter what must happen to the analog output when an error occurs with the measured weight.
eg. Over-range, Under-Range etc. The analog error can be set to:
“OFF”: The analog error feature is disabled.

“OUT LOW”: The analog output will go to the minimum value when an error occurs.
“OUT HIGH”: The analog output will go to the maximum value when an error occurs.
5.5 Communications Configuration Menu
This menu configures the RS232 and RS485 serial port parameters.
The LT1300 has 3 built in communication protocols:

1) MODBUS™ RTU
2) MODBUS™ ASCII
3) A simple serial ASCII protocol for interfacing to large displays and serial printers.
Please see below for the LT1300 MODBUS registers.
Enter the communication address of the instrument. If more then one instrument is
connected via a multidrop network then the address of each instrument must be unique. A unique
address allows commands to be sent to an individual instrument as well as it also prevents all
the instruments on the bus replying simultaneously.
The ASCII out protocol address range is 0 to 255. The Modbus address range is 001 to 247.
RS232 Communications setup menu.
RS485 Communications setup menu.
The RS232 Communications setup menu is shown below. The setup for the RS485 communications setup is
identical.
Select the communication protocol. The communication protocol can be set to:
“ASCII OUT”: A simple ASCII protocol to interface to serial printers and large displays.
Please see the format of the ASCII out protocol in section 5.5.1
“ASCII IN”: The LT1300 can act as a slave indicator to another LT1300 instrument.
One LT1300 instrument must be setup for continuous ASCII Out and the
other LT1300 must be setup for ASCII IN.
“MODBUS RTU”: Modbus RTU protocol
“MODBUS ASC”: Modbus ASCII protocol.
Select the communication baud rate. The baudrate can be selected from “1200”, “2400”,
“4800”, “9600”, “19200”, “38400”, “57600” and “115200” baud.
