1. Cautions

Installation and Precautions

1.1.

Before use, confirm the following articles for safe operation.

Avoid vibrati on, shock, extr emely high tempe rature and humi dity, direct sunlight,

dust, splashing water, air containing salt or corrosive gases, places where

inflamma ble gases are p resent. The operating temperature is -10°C to +50°C (14°F to 122°F). Ground the module. Keep cables away from power cables and other sources of electrical noise.

Use a stable DC24 V power source that does not include step down voltage

and noise. Do not share the earth ground line and power line with other electrical power

equipment. W hen extending the load cell cable, separate it from the power cable and

electrica l cables with m uch noise. Do not turn on the module unt il installatio n is complete. Th e module is not

equipped with a switch to turn off. After the installation is complete, take off the protective cover prior to turning on

the AD-4430B. Use a shielded load cell cable. Do not connect more sensors than the allowable number noted in the

specifications.

Cautions During Use

1.2.

The AD-4430B is a precision instrument that measures microvolt output from load cell. Prevent noise sources such as power lines, radios, el ectric welders or motors from affecting the instrument.

Do not disassemble the AD-4430B.

Cause Treatment

Make the minimum division greater or make the weighing capacity sm aller. The specified value depends on specifications of the weighing system.

Check the load cell rating and connection. When nothing is wrong with the rating and connection, adjust the load cell output. When the load cell or A/D converter may be the cause of error, confirm this by using the check mode.

Use an appropriate calibration weight and calibrate again.

Use a load cell with higher sensitivity or make the minimum division greater.

Check the load cell connection.

Use a load cell with a greater rating or make the weighing capacity smaller.

The high-order correction curve is used so that zero point and individual points

are arranged in a straight line.

Digital linearization includes span calibration.
