This manual describes how the AD-4212C series balance works and how to get the most out of it in
terms of performance.
Read this manual thoroughly before using the balance and keep it at hand for future reference.
1.1. Features
z A Weighing Unit, suitable for building into a production line system. The weighing unit is
compact, with a width of 59 mm.
z A Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) is used to provide high resolution and high response speed.

*1 With FAST selected under good environment
*2 Smart range (Refer to “5. SMART RANGE FUNCTION”.)
z The AD-4212C series can output the weighing digital data directly. Therefore, the AD-4212C
series (the weighing unit) can be connected to a personal computer or a PLC directly.
z Dust-protected and Protected Against Splashing Water (Complying with IP65). The AD-4212C
series has a patented shock absorber under the weighing pan and can cope with movement in
all directions, protecting the weighing unit from an actuator malfunction.
z Windows Communication Tools (WinCT-AD4212C), allows easy confirming of the weighing
data by using a Windows-based personal computer.

z When connected to an optional remote controller, an AD-8922A, AD-8923-BCD or AD-8923-CC,
the remote controller can receive the weighing data and manually perform re-zero and
calibration.
The AD-8922A can output the data using BCD, comparator or analog out by selection of the
option installed in the AD-8922A.
The AD-8923-BCD outputs the data using BCD and the AD-8923-CC outputs the data using
CC-Link.
Note: CC-Link is a high-speed field network able to simultaneously handle both control and
information data.
z When connected to an optional AD-8526 Ethernet converter, it can convert the AD-4212C
RS-232C data, for output to a local area network (LAN).

ATTACHING THE AD-4212C SERIES WEIGHING UNIT DIRECTLY ON THE MOUNTING BASE
When the AD-4212C series weighing unit is built into a system, remove the three leveling feet and
use the screw holes to secure the weighing unit to the base.
Attachment Procedure
1. Remove the three leveling feet.
Caution
Do not remove any other screws from the
bottom of the weighing unit. Doing so could
damage the weighing sensor.
2. Secure the weighing unit from above.
(Prepare appropriate screws with a size
corresponding to an M5 screw. The screw
hole diameter: 6 mm).
In case of securing the weighing unit from
the under side, use M6 screws with 1-mm
pitch.
Notes
The screws to secure the weighing unit
to the mounting base are not provided.
For the position of the holes, refer to “10.
EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS”.

To secure
When the leveling adjustment is difficult to perform due to the installation conditions, place a
shim between the lower surface of the weighing unit and the securing surface, or use two nuts. If
the adjustment is still difficult to perform, perform calibration before use. Then, the balance will
function normally.

2.2. Installing the Balance
Install the balance as follows:
1. Refer to “3. PRECAUTIONS” for installing the balance.
2. Refer to "2-1 Unpacking" on page 6, to attach the pan support and the weighing pan on the
weighing unit.
3. Insert the RS-232C cable into the jack located on the rear of the weighing unit.
When confirming the performance
of the weighing unit using
WinCT-AD4212C, connect the
cable into RS-232C terminal of the
computer.

4. Confirm that the AC adapter type is correct for the local voltage and power receptacle type.
5. Plug the AC adapter plug into the AC adapter jack located on the rear of the weighing unit and
plug the AC adapter into the electrical outlet. Warm up the balance for 30 minutes or more with
nothing on the weighing pan.
6. Set the pan unit and I/O unit to adapt to the peripheral system. Set the following for the I/O unit.
RS-232C (Refer to“6. COMMUNICATION SPECIFICATIONS”)
Set the weighing speed to adapt to the ambient conditions.
Note
Make sure that the personal computer is in operation before connecting to the AD-4212C.
7. After the balance has been installed, calibrate the balance using the 200 g calibration weight
provided with the balance. For details, refer to “4.2. Calibration”.
(The AD-4212C-3000/6000/3100 can be calibrated using the 200 g weight.)
8. By removing the provided weighing pan, a locally fabricated weighing pan can be attached to the
AD-4212C series by using the four screw holes (M4 screw x pitch 0.7 mm) on the pan support.

If the balance is to be used in a range other than shown above, contact the local A&D dealer.
To avoid the effects of static electricity or magnetism, use materials other than resin or
magnetic materials when designing a weighing pan.
When a locally fabricated weighing pan is used, the zero point may be shifted greatly
right after the AC adapter is plugged in. Perform re-zero before weighing to cancel the
amount of zero drift as necessary.

3. PRECAUTIONS
To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weighing data, note the
following:
3.1. Before Use
Install the weighing unit in an environment where the temperature and humidity are not
excessive. The best operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50% relative
humidity.
Install the weighing unit where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and it is not affected by
heaters or air conditioners.
Install the weighing unit where it is free of dust.
Install the weighing unit away from equipment which produces magnetic fields.
Install the weighing unit in a stable place avoiding vibration and shock. Corners of rooms on
the first floor are best, as they are less prone to vibration.
Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.
Plug in the AC adapter as usual, and warm up the balance for 30 minutes or more.
Calibrate the balance before use or after having moved it to another location.
In addition, calibrate it periodically to maintain the accuracy.
Caution
Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.
