4. Installation and Commissioning PRECAUTION: Please read this manual carefully before energizing the indicator. Perform the commissioning operation according the procedure given here. Use trained personnel for cleaning, commissioning, checking and service of the indicator. The interference of untrained personnel may cause some unwanted damages or injures. Note: In this manual the term “Digital Load Cell“ will be refered to “DLC“. 4.
4.2.2. Standard Load Cell Connection (for FT-11 only) The load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing to avoid damages to the weight indicator and the load cells. The input resistance of the load cells that you want to connect should be more than 58 Ω. The sense pins of the instrument should be connected. In 4-wire installations the sense and excitation pins with the same polarity should be short circuited at the connector side.
5. Front Panel and Keypad 5.1. Weight Display and Status LEDs Figure 5.1 Front panel view of FT-11(D) The weight display of FT-11(D) is a 6 digit LED with 14 mm or 20 mm height. At the right side of the display there are three status LEDs for indicating “Gross”, “Net” and the standard unit “kg”. Below the weight display there are several status LEDs.
5.2. Keypad The meaning of the front panel keys and the key functions are: Key Meaning Power On/Off: This key is used for turning the instrument on or off. To switch off the key must be pressed and hold at least for 2 seconds. There is no On/Off key on panel type housings. Manual Zero: In Gross mode, if the scale doesn’t show zero while there is no load on the pan, you can zero the scale by pressing this key. Manual Tare: Pressing this key tares the scale and gets into the Net mode.
6. Setup and Calibration 6.1. Basics 6.1.1. Basic Setup Keys on the Frontplate The symbols located on the lower right corner of each key indicate the function of the keys in the setup menu. The basic meanings of these keys are given in the table below.
6.2. Defining the Digital Load cells (for FT-11D only) 6.2.1. Digital Load Cell Addressing The parameter group [22-] is used for defining and addressing the DLCs. [22-] DLC Configuration Block In this section the DLCs are introduced to the indicator. [220 X] DLC Type 0 = RC3D [221 This parameter must be set to “0” for type RC3D digital load cell. XX] Quantity of DLC Enter the quantity of DLCs used in the scale. The quantity can be selected between 1 and 16.
6.2.2. Eccentricity Adjustment The eccentricity adjustment must be done in parameter group [32-] before the calibration of the scale. The adjustment can be done for each load cell independently or for sectional pairs. The selection is done by parameter [320]. After selection of the adjustment method , the adjustment is performed automatically as described in parameter [321]. [32-] DLC Eccentricity Adjustment Block In this parameter group the eccentricity correction is performed automatically or manually.
6.3.
[204 X] Auto Zero Tracking AZT automatically re-adjusts the scale to zero for compensating defined small deviations around the centre of zero. 0 = disable [205 1 = ± 0,5e 2 = ± 1e 3 = ± 3e X] Tare 0 = Disabled 1 = Multi tare via key 2 = Tare via key in gross mode [206 X] Motion Detector This parameter defines the sensitivity level which will determine what is considered as stable. 0 = ± 0.3e 1= ± 0.
6.5. Scale Calibration [3--] Calibration Block The calibration of the scale will be performed here. [30-] Calibration [300 ] Gravity This parameter should be used in the scale that will be verified in two stages by gravity adjustment (in legal metrologic applications). This parameter should not be touched in other applications. If you enter a value in this parameter before calibration (as six decimal digits, e.g. enter “798564” for “9.
new value by and keys, place the test weight on the scale and press . The display will show the [WAıt ] message during the span adjustment under load. Approximately 10 seconds later the display will show the [SAvE ] message. You can confirm the “Save span adjustment under load” by pressing or cancel it by pressing the key. [313 ] eCal (electronic calibration) Warning: The scale capacity and the resolution must be entered before performing eCal.
7. Alibi Memory and Legal Metrological Records If the alibi memory is installed and activated, the indicator keeps the latest 149 764 weighing records in this memory. The recorded data can be viewed on the indicator’s display or exported via serial port. To find a definite record you have to enter parameter [802]. After reaching the desired record, the recorded data can be viewed in the display. If needed you can print this record together with the following 9 records by pressing the key.
