3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Site Preparation Requirements
The Cardinal Model 190 indicator is a precision weight-measuring
instrument. As with any precision instrument, it requires an acceptable
environment to operate at peak performance and reliability. This section
is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
3.1.1 Environmental
The 190 indicator meets or exceeds all certification requirements within a
temperature range of 14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C).
In order to keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the indicator should
be placed out of direct sunlight and to provide adequate air circulation,
keep the area around the indicator clear.
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation
Make certain the indicator is not directly in front of a heating or cooling
vent. Such a location will subject the indicator to sudden temperature
changes, which may result in unstable weight readings.
8400-M022-O1 Rev J
Model 190 Installation, Technical and Operation
Page 8
Insure that the indicator has good, clean AC power and is properly
grounded. In areas subject to lightning strikes, additional protection
to minimize lightning damage, such as surge suppressors, should
be installed.
3.1.2 Electrical Power
The 190 has been designed to operate from 100 to 240 VAC @
0.4A Max. at 50/60 Hz. Note that a special order is not required for
operation at 230/240 VAC.
WARNING! - To avoid electrical hazard and
possible damage to the indicator, DO NOT, under
any circumstance, cut, remove, alter, or in any
way bypass the power cord grounding prong.
The socket-outlet supplying power to the indicator should be on
a separate circuit from the distribution panel and dedicated to
the exclusive use of the indicator.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible. Note that the power cord on the 190
serves as the power disconnect.
The wiring should conform to national and local electrical codes
and ordinances and should be approved by the local inspector
to assure compliance.
For outdoor operations, the socket-outlet must provide GFCI
(ground fault circuit interrupter) protection.
On installations requiring 230/240 VAC power, it is the
responsibility of the customer to have a qualified electrician
install the proper power cord plug that conforms to national
electrical codes and local codes and ordinances.

3.1.3 Electrical Noise Interference
To prevent electrical noise interference, make certain all other wall outlets
for use with air conditioning and heating equipment, lighting or other
equipment with heavily inductive loads, such as welders, motors and
solenoids are on circuits separate from the indicator. Many of these
disturbances originate within the building itself and can seriously affect the
operation of the instrument. These sources of disturbances must be
identified and steps must be taken to prevent possible adverse effects on
the instrument. Examples of available alternatives include isolation
transformers, power regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, or simple
line filters.
3.1.4 Transient Suppression
The following recommendations will help to reduce transients:
Always use shielded cables to connect signal wires to the weight
indicator.
Secure the cables in the cable clips provided inside the indicator.
Connect the cable shield (indicator end only) to a ground point
inside the indicator. Keep wires that extend beyond the shield as
short as possible.
Do not run load cell or signal cables from the weight indicator
alongside or parallel to wiring carrying AC power. If unavoidable,
position the load cell and signal cables a minimum of 24" away
from all AC wiring.
Always use arc suppressors across all AC power relay contacts (see
recommendations at www.panconcorp.com/PDFs/capacitors/QRLQuencharc.pdf).
Use zero voltage switching relays, optically isolated if possible.

3.2 Mounting
Before beginning installation of your Model 190 Indicator, make
certain that it has been received in good condition. Carefully
remove it from the shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence
of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches) that may have
taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing material
for return shipment if it should become necessary. It is the
responsibility of the purchaser to file all claims for any damages or
loss incurred during transit.
NOTE: Should your Model 190 indicator come already installed on
a scale, the following information describing the installation of the
indicator does not apply.
The Model 190 indicator is housed in a Thermoplastic IP69K wall or
desk-mount enclosure. The gimbal may be mounted on a desktop
or other smooth, flat, horizontal surface or may be mounted on a
wall. Refer to Figure No. 1 for a layout of wall-mounting bolts.
Figure No. 1
If wall mounted, make certain the mounting surface is strong
enough to support the indicator. The mounting location should be
where the display is easily viewed while being close enough to
provide the operator easy access to the keypad. Carefully lay out
the mounting hole locations, then drill and install the anchor bolts.
Attach the gimbal to the wall and securely tighten the retaining
bolts.

4. INDICATOR SETUP
4.1 Calibration Inhibit Jumper
Your Model 190 indicator has been thoroughly tested and calibrated
before being shipped to you. If you received the indicator attached to a
scale, calibration is not necessary. If the indicator is being connected to
a scale for the first time or recalibration is necessary for other reasons,
proceed as indicated.
Calibration and Setup of the indicator is accomplished entirely by the
keypad. However, it may require changing the position of the calibration
inhibit jumper depending on the method of sealing required by your local
metrology laws.
The calibration inhibit jumper (J4) is located on the main printed
circuit board and can only be accessed by removing the front panel
of the indicator.

4.2 Calibration Data Entry
The Model 190 uses a capacitive touch keypad that requires a
“finger touch” to function. The keypad will not operate with
other items such as pen, pencil or tools.
Figure No. 10
During the indicator setup and calibration process it will be necessary to
enter operational parameters via the 190 keypad.
Pressing the TARE key will cause the data entered or displayed
to be retained and the 190 to advance to the next prompt.
The functions of numeric keys are replaced by using the UNITS/
and the Fn/ keys.
The cursor location is identified by the blinking character and can
be advanced to the left to the next position by pressing the
UNITS/key.
Pressing the Fn/ key will change the blinking character to the next
value or setting. Continue to press this key to "toggle" between the
different available values or settings for the setup parameter.
Pressing the Fn/ key when a setup parameter (not a parameter
value or setting) is displayed, will "backup" to the previous
parameter prompt.
