 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

 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION OF THE LOAD CELLS

SIZING OF LOAD CELLS CAPACITY

For safety reasons, in case of static weighing, it is advisable to use the load cells at a maximum of
70-80% of its nominal capacity (assuming that the load is uniformly distributed over the entire
weighed structure); depending on the handling mode of the load to weigh, consider to further reduce
the % of load with respect to the nominal capacity (ex.: forklifts handling, bridge cranes, etc.).

In case of weighing with dynamic loads, the installer has to estimate the thrust speed, the
acceleration, the frequency, etc.

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.

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).

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).

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.

-2-
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

A MISUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT

 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.

 INSTRUMENT COMMISSIONING

Upon switch-on, the display shows in sequence:

-  →  (ONLY in case of approved program);
- instrument model (e.g.: );
-  followed by the software code (e.g.:  );
- program type:  (base);
-  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)).

- If you use serial communication, set the related parameters (see section SERIAL
COMMUNICATION SETTING).
- If you use WiFi communication, set the related parameters (see section WIFI
COMMUNICATION SETTING)
- If setpoint are used, set the required weight values and the relevant parameters (see sections
SETPOINT PROGRAMMING and OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION).

 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 or modify the displayed menu item.
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, the system’s
parameters containing a weight value will be set to default values (setpoint, hysteresis,
etc.).

- 11 -
 MAXIMUM CAPACITY

 +   

: maximum displayable weight (from 0 to full scale; default: 0). When the weight exceeds this
value by 9 divisions, the display shows . To disable this function, set 0.

TARE WEIGHT ZERO SETTING

 +   

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 999999; default: 0).

- 12 -
 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 ().

- 13 -
 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.

FILTER VALUE Response times [ms] Display and serial port refresh frequency [Hz]
0 12 300
1 150 100
2 260 50
3 425 25
4 (default) 850 12.5
5 1700 12.5
6 2500 12.5
7 4000 10
8 6000 10
9 7000 5

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.

protocol.

AUTOMATIC ZERO SETTING AT POWER-ON

  (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  ).

 SETTING UNITS OF MEASURE

 +   

These are the available units of measure:

: kilograms
: grams
: tons
: pounds*
: newtons*
: litres*
: bars*
: atmospheres*
: pieces*
: newton metres*
: kilogram metres*
: other generic units of measure not included in the list*

For the units marked with * it’s possible to set also the display coefficient (parameter
, see the related section). To use  is necessary to enable it, closing the
 input (see section OUTPUTS AND INPUTS CONFIGURATION).

DISPLAY COEFFICIENT

 +   

By setting the coefficient  the display is changed accordingly.

If one of the inputs is set to  mode (see section OUTPUTS AND INPUTS
CONFIGURATION) when the input is closed the value will be displayed modified according to the
 coefficient; when the input is opened the standard weight display will be restored.

: (max settable value: 99.9999; default: 1.0000) will have different meanings according to the
value set in , i.e. the selected unit of measure. (see section SETTING UNITS OF MEASURE).

- 16 -
If the unit of measure chosen is:
: pounds, the value set in  will be multiplied by the weight value currently displayed;
: newton, the value set in  will be multiplied by the weight value currently displayed;
: litres, in  set the specific weight in kg/l, assuming that the system is calibrated in kg;
: bar, the value set in  will be multiplied by the weight value currently displayed;
: atmosphere, the value set in  will be multiplied by the weight value currently displayed;
: pieces, in  set the weight of one piece;
: newton metres, the value set in  will be multiplied by the weight value currently
displayed;
: kilogram metres, the value set in  will be multiplied by the weight value currently
displayed;
: generic unit of measure not included in the list, the value set in  will be multiplied by
the weight value currently displayed.

WARNING: All other settings (setpoint, hysteresis, calibration ...) are expressed in weight
value. If you want to convert them to the new unit of measurement, perform one of the
following procedures for changing the system calibration.
The parameter  must remain set to 1.0000.

THEORETICAL CALIBRATION’S CHANGE FOR OTHER UNITS OF MEASURE

Set in the parameter  the F.SCALE value divided by the conversion coefficient from kg to
the new unit of measure.
Example: The 4 load cells of 1000 kg are placed under a scale for olive oil, which has a specific
gravity of 0.916 kg/l. Setting the F.SCALE = (4 x 1000) / 0.916 = 4367, the system works in liters of
olive oil. Also, if you set the parameter  =  (see section SETTING UNITS OF
MEASURE), the system will display and print the symbol “l” instead of “kg”.

REAL CALIBRATION’S CHANGE FOR OTHER UNITS OF MEASURE

Load a known quantity of product litres on the scale (equal to at least 50% of the maximum amount
that you must weigh) and enter in the parameter , the product loaded value in litres. Also, if
you set the parameter  =  (see section SETTING UNITS OF MEASURE), the system
will display and print the symbol “l” instead of “kg”.

NET FUNCTIONS

 +   

… …

   
OUTPUTS
The outputs are set by default as follows:  /  /  /  / .

Possible operation modes:

-  (normally open): the relay is de-energised and the contact is open when the weight is
lower than the programmed setpoint value; it closes when the weight is higher than or equal to
the programmed setpoint value.
-  (normally closed): the relay is energised and the contact is closed when the weight is
lower than the programmed setpoint value; it opens when the weight is higher than or equal to
the programmed setpoint value.

- : the contact will switch on the basis of weight, according to setpoint (see section SETPOINT
PROGRAMMING).
- : 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.

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.

- 18 -
 INPUTS
Default: input 1 =  input 2 = 

Possible operation modes:

-  (NET/GROSS): by closing this input for no more than one second, it’s making an
operation of SEMI-AUTOMATIC TARE and the display will show the net weight. To display the
gross weight again, hold the NET/GROSS input closed for 3 seconds.
- : by closing the input for no more than one second, the weight is set to zero (see section
WEIGHT ZERO-SETTING FOR SMALL VARIATIONS (SEMI-AUTOMATIC ZERO)).
- : keeping the input closed the maximum weight value reached remains on display. Opening
the input the current weight is displayed.
- : closing the input no operation is performed, the input status may however be read remotely
by way of the communication protocol.
- : closing the input for max one second the weight is transmitted over the serial
connection according to the fast continuous transmission protocol only once (only if  is
set in the item ).
- : when the input is closed the weight is displayed based on the set coefficient (see setting
of the units of measure and coefficient), otherwise the weight is displayed.

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 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.

- 19 -
 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.

By default the instrument shows the last programmed preset tare value: to apply it press and
then ENTER.
After setting the tare value, going back to the weight 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 gross weight.
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
RESETTABLE WEIGHT SETTING FOR SMALL WEIGHT CHANGES), otherwise the alarm
 appears and the weight is not set to zero.

The zero-setting is lost upon instrument power-off.

- 20 -
 PEAK

By keeping the PEAK input closed the maximum weight value reached remains displayed. By
opening the input the current weight is displayed.

If you wish to use this input to view a sudden variation peak, set the FILTER ON THE
WEIGHT to 0.

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:

INSTRUMENT RS232
RS485 – → RXD
RS485 + → GND

This type of connection allows A SINGLE instrument to be used in a ONE WAY

 REMOTE WEIGHT READING

Overview:
By transmitting instrument, it means the one connected to the load cell.
By receiving instrument, it means the one which receives the weight via serial port or WiFi.

This function allows the instrument to read the weight by another instrument (transmitting
instrument) rather than by a load cell, via the RS485, RS232 or WiFi. Outputs and serial ports
continue to work as described in this manual, using as weight value the one received remotely.
The instrument supports two different modes of remote weight reading:
- 
- 

WARNING: in order to use the remote weight reading, the weight reading mode must be
set as  (see section DATA DELETION AND PROGRAM SELECTION).

It’s not possible to enable the remote weight reading on several communication devices;
in case of conflict, the last device set remains active.

- 32 -
 WEIGHT READING VIA SERIAL PORT

WEIMOD MODE
The instrument works as if it were directly connected to the load cell, therefore calibrations and zero
settings can be done. The protocol used is Modbus (the receiving instrument works as master and
the transmitting one as slave).
Procedure:

1. TRANSMITTING INSTRUMENT (see section SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTING in the

transmitting instrument manual)
 select the desired serial port
 set  protocol
 set the serial communication parameters
 set the desired filter value (see section FILTER ON THE WEIGHT in the transmitting
instrument manual)

2. RECEIVING INSTRUMENT (see section SERIAL COMMUNICATION SETTING)

 select the desired serial port
 set the  mode

It’s not possible to enable this function on several communication devices; in case
