SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS
The Cardinal 210 indicator is a precision weight-measuring instrument. As with any precision
instrument, they require an acceptable environment to operate at peak performance and
reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
Environmental
The Model 210 indicator meet 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.
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.
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.
Electrical Power
The 210 indicator has been designed to
operate from 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
Note that a special order is not
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.
required
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Note that the power cord on the 210 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.
8200-M585-O1 Rev D 210 Installation & Technical 5
SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS, CONT.
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 indicator. These sources of disturbances must be identified and steps must be taken to
prevent possible adverse effects on the indicator. Examples of available alternatives include
isolation transformers, power regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, or simple line filters.
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 along side 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
http://www.paktron.com/pdf/Quencharch_QRL.pdf
Use zero voltage switching relays, optically isolated if possible.
RFI Immunity
The operation of sensitive electronic equipment can be adversely affected by RF (Radio
Frequency) radio transmissions. Digital weight indicators are one such type of equipment.
Radio transmissions come from things like hand-held radio transmitters and cell phones. One
symptom of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) in a digital weight indicator is weight indication
instability during a radio transmission.
Cardinal digital weight indicators are designed with special grounding and RFI shielding to
achieve a high degree of immunity to common RFI. To maximize the digital weight indicator’s
immunity to radio transmissions, follow these guidelines:
1. ALWAYS use shielded cable for all I/O (Input/Output) connections to the digital weight
indicator.
2. NEVER operate any radio transmitter within 2 meters (~6ft.) of the weight indicator.
3. NEVER connect un-terminated serial, digital, or analog I/O cables to the internal printed
circuit boards of the digital weight indicator.
4. KEEP the intended external I/O device connected to I/O cables entering the digital
weight indicator.
5. ALWAYS connect the shield of the shielded cable to the indicator back panel gland
connector or other closest ground terminal inside the indicator.
6. ALWAYS connect the shield of the shielded I/O cable at the indicator end only. Leave
the shield unconnected at the I/O device.

If you so choose, you may use the logic level outputs from your Model 210 indicator’s preset
weight comparators or checkweigher to control peripheral devices used to manage the flow of
material or signal when the weight is within preset limits. Note that these outputs are at logic
level and cannot drive external devices directly, with the exception of the Cardinal 2XX-OU
Checkweigher Light Bar. Solid-state relays can be used to accept the logic level output from
the 210 and in turn, drive other external devices.
J7 (VP/VCC) - REMOTE OUT SRC (SOURCE) JUMPER
The Remote Output SRC jumper J7, when connected, allows the 210 indicator to supply
(source) VP (15VDC) or VCC (5vdc) to a solid-state relay or other load of 200 ohms or greater.
The positive connection from the relays must be connected to the PWC connector pins and the
negative wire from the relays to the GND pin. See Figure No. 15 for jumper and REMOTE
OUTPUTS connector location.
For completely isolated outputs, J7 must be open (positioned on one plug-in pin only or
removed) and the user must provide 12 to 24 VDC to the SRC pin and a ground return to the
load. The load must still be 200 ohms or greater.

Main PCB Jumpers
J2 – REMOTE INPUT SRC (SOURCE)
The Remote Input SRC jumper J2, when connected, allows the 210 indicator to supply
(source) 12-24VDC to a solid-state relay or other load of 200 ohms or greater. The positive
connection from the relays must be connected to the remote input connector pins and the
negative wire from the relays to the GND/SHLD pin.
J3 – AUTO-ON JUMPER
The AUTO-ON jumper J3, when connected, will cause the indicator to power on automatically
whenever power is applied to the power input connector. If power is lost momentarily and then
reapplied, the indicator will turn on without pressing the ON/OFF key.
J4 AND J5 – RS-232/USB PORT
These jumpers control whether COM3 is RS-232 and uses Serial I/O P14 (pins 7, 8, & 9) or
USB and uses the USB-B header, P4 or USB-B port, P6.
J6 (+SEN) AND J9 (-SEN) – SENSE JUMPERS
If the sense leads are NOT used, you must install plug-in jumpers at J6 and J9 adjacent to the
terminal block. These jumpers attach the sense leads to the excitation leads. If sense leads
ARE used (as in motor truck scales), these plug-in jumpers should be positioned on one plugin pin only or removed and stored for later use.
J8 – DLB (DEAD LOAD BOOST JUMPER)
For very low dead loads (less than 10% of the combined load cell capacity) connect the dead
load boost jumper J8 on the printed circuit board.
J7 – REMOTE OUTPUT SRC (SOURCE)
The Remote Output SRC jumper J7, when connected, allows the 210 indicator to supply
(source) VP (15VDC) or VCC (5vdc) to a solid-state relay or other load of 200 ohms or greater.
The positive connection from the relays must be connected to the remote output connector
pins and the negative wire from the relays to the GND/SHLD pin.
J10 – USB PWR
The USB PWR jumper J10, selects whether the USB power is provided by the USB Host (set
to BUS position) or by the 210 indicator (set to VCC position).
Re-Installing the Rear Panel
After all terminations have been made;
1. Remove the excess cable from the instrument enclosure and securely tighten each of
the cable gland connectors.
