INTRODUCTION
LC300 is housed in a holder to be hooked directly on DIN / OMEGA. The coupling is designed for
use with DIN rails (EN60715).
LC300 is a redundant system for the limitation of the load, manufactured in compliance with the Perfor-
mance Level PL d, according to ISO standard EN13849-1, corresponding to the Safety Integrity Level
(SIL 2 IEC 62061).
Through the programming of 2 levels (pre-alarm and alarm) the load detected is constantly checked and
eventually the lockout relay is activated. Other possible alarm conditions are monitored: imbalance of
the 2 acquisition channels, load cells connections missing, incorrect power supply, self-diagnosis. The
instrument also has two optional analog outputs with a working range 4÷20mA, respectively associated
with the two weight acquisition channels.
Each channel has a separate logic. Both channels are verified an independent “watchdog” (category
3 according to EN13849). Each channels is provided with: a ADC converter that acquires the signal
of the load cell, a microcontroller that receives the data from the ADC, two control relays.
Each microcontroller has a “watchdog” interior, an external voltage monitor and data memory (EEPROM).
Both microcontrollers are monitored by an independent extra “watchdog” able to send the alarm relay
in case the system does not work properly. The diagnostic system also provides continuous monitoring
of the load cell cables and indicates a possible anomaly. Furthermore, if the analog or digital power
supplies come out from the operation fields a specific alarm condition is determined. If there were no
conditions to work correctly, the relays would be immediately put in an alarm state (de-energized).
The parameter settings are made through four mechanical buttons and the visualization is on 4 red
display (7-segment red LED 7mm). Each relay has a LED to indicate its status.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
The LC300 is composed of a base board housed in a plastic case for DIN rail 35mm, which can be
optionally added when ordering the board with dual analog output. The LC300 should not be immer-
sed in water, undergo water jets and cleaned or washed with solvents. Do not expose to heat or direct
sunlight.

ANALOG OPTION
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
The LC300 uses for the electrical connection 5.08 mm removable terminal lockouts.
The load cell cable must be shielded and channeled away from the power cables to prevent electro-
6 magnetic interference.

LOAD CELLS CONNECTION
The load cell cable must not be channeled with other cables, but
must follow their own path. The instrument can be connected up to
a maximum of four load cells 350Ω in parallel for each measuring
channel. The supply voltage of the cells is 4 VDC and is protected
by a temporary short circuit. The measuring range of the instrument
involves the use of load cells with a sensitivity of up to 3.9 mV/V. The

INSTRUMENT FRONT PANEL
The LC300 is equipped with a 4-digit display, 4 status LED relay and 4 keys.
In this operating mode the display shows the weight.
The set-up parameters are easily accessed and modified through the use of the 4 front buttons used to
select, edit, confirm and save the new settings.
DISPLAY
In the programming procedure, the display shows the sequence of parameters and their values that
allow the operator to configure the instrument.
1 2 3 4
During the programming procedures pay attention to any temperatures above 50 °C which may occur
in the vicinity of the keys and also to any voltages which may occur on the electronic board. The vol-
tages do not usually exceed 30Vdc.

DISPLAY INDICATIONS
The display check is done when switching the instrument on. Then it appears an identification code of
the software and its version. It is important to communicate this code in case of request for assistance. If
during the ignition of the instrument the operating alarm are not recognized, a contacts initial test is done
During this phase, the relays are energized to verify proper opera-
pr.16 tion. The test of the contacts is run in 4 phases:
1. Check the condition of the opening of the contacts.
REPORTING ERRORS
In this operating mode, the display may report the following error codes.
Normally, the display indicates current measure of the load cells. In this condition, you can start a
procedure for programming the instrument.
REPORTING OF OVERLOAD
~~~~ When the gross weight exceeds by more than 9 divisions the ma-
ximum capacity of the weighing system, or when the weight value
is greater than the maximum value displayable, the screen displays
this message.
UNDERWEIGHT REPORTING
____ When the gross weight is negative and greater than 4 digits, the
screen displays this message of underweight.

CONFIGURATION
GENERAL
All functions of the LC300 can be activated and modified by accessing a simple setup menu, shown
on the next page. All settings selected or activated remain stored even after switching off the unit.
The LC300 is preconfigured with a default setting. On the following pages are shown the “Default”
values of each parameter
With the first installation in the field changes are necessary in order to obtain a correct indication of
the displayed weight (Theoretical adjustment).
This may be required when you purchase LC300.
The settings of the setup menu can be changed using the 4 front buttons.

Note. In case the system gives linearity erreor after calibration, it is
necessary to check that the weighing system is free of any mecha-
nical constrains.
ZERO CALIBRATION
Run the operation with the scale empty (including the fix tare) and
with the weight stable. The zero point of the system is done by
pressing the 1 key.
The displayed weight is reset and the display shows cal alternatively

At the analog output signal is applied the same filter used for the
weight display value.
In case of normal operation mode (no alarm detected), both analog
outputs operate with the average value of the weight (arithmetic
average of the two channels weight). In the presence of the alarms,
the weight average is not calculated, the analog outputs work in-
dividually with the weight value of the corresponding cell channel.
When the weight exceeds the programmed full scale, the analog
output takes a value greater than the full scale value of the analog
output up to a limit value (saturation).
When the weight is negative, the output takes a value lower than
the zero value, up to a limit value (saturation).
