ANYLOAD A2P Amplifier Product Manual (V1611)

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing Anyload A2P load cell amplifier. A2P strain gage

amplifier provides load cell and transducer signal conditioning. It is designed for

converting mV signal from load cell output into a 4~20mA or 0~10V signal. The

A2P strain gage amplifier is AC and DC powered and can drive up to 4 x 350Ω

load cells or 8 X 700Ω load cells. It can be connected directly to 1 or 2 load cells

or to more than 2 load cells through a junction box. The amplifier is equipped

with individual adjustable resistors. It is housed in a PVC enclosure and can be

installed on a standard rail channel. The manual here provides the installation,

operation and calibration procedures of the product.

2. Installation

Only simple tools like small size slotted screw driver and Philips screwdriver are

required for connecting cables during installation, adjusting the unit during

calibration and installation of enclosure.

6. Calibration

The calibration of A2P consists of Zero Calibration and Span Calibration:

6.1 Zero Calibration
Step1.Remove all load from the scale platform. If the scale require hooks or
chains (tare weight), place the hooks or chains onto the scale for zero
calibration.

Step2.Adjust ZERO variable resistor to an output of 0V or 4mA.

(Note: Tare weight shall not exceed 30% of full load)

6.2 Span Calibration
Step1.Place full load onto the scale.

Step2. Adjust SPAN variable resistor to an output of 10V or 20mA.
(Note: It’s recommended to repeat adjustment in Step 2 of Section 6.2 above
three times.)

7. Operation

7.1 Except during calibration, always keep the enclosure cover on and ensure
the seal is in its proper place when installing the cover.

7.2 Always keep the amplifier clean from dirt to avoid affecting the values of
the ZERO and SPAN variable resistors.

7.3 For stable amplifier signal output, always use safe and reliable DC power
supply.

7.4 When output reading changes, re-calibrate the amplifier according
to Section 6, Calibration.

8. Troubleshooting

8.1 No output from the amplifier: Check all wire connections and the DC power
supply.

8.2 Output signal is abnormal: Re-calibrate according to Section 5, Calibration.

8.3 Problem cannot be resolved: Contact supplier
