INTRODUCTION

AVERTENZE

1 INTRODUCTION

This manual was created to help you install and learn all about the functional possibilities of the
purchased indicator.
The instrument is suitable for use in various weighing environments.
Not only does it have all the normal features of high-precision scales, but it also gives you the
possibility to work in specific environments due to the functioning modes contained in the
software implemented in the FLASH MEMORY on the internal board. This makes the instrument
extremely flexible and it can be used in many different industrial applications linked to weighing.
The touch screen, the numerical and function keyboard, allow the operator an easy and
immediate use and provide the microcontroller with DATA ENTRY functions in addition to the
normal weighing functions. The input/output allows the instrument to control various external
devices, to receive external commands, control a printer and communicate with a personal
computer or to be inserted in a network of weight indicators controlled by a PC.

Please note that this instrument is covered by a warranty and MUST NOT BE OPENED BY THE
USER for any reason whatsoever. Any attempt to repair or modify the unit exposes the user to the
risk of electric shock and will invalidate the entire warranty.
If any problems are found in the unit or with the system in which it is used, the fact must be
communicated to the manufacturer or the dealer from whom it was purchased.
In any case, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY before taking any action.

Do not pour liquids on the weight indicator.
Do not use solvents to clean the weight indicator.
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight nor place it near heat sources.
Place or anchor the weight indicator and platform on a non-vibrating base.
All the connections of the indicator have to be made respecting the rules applicable in the

zone and in the installing environment.

Everything not expressly described in this manual has to be considered as improper use of the
equipment.

ATTENTION!
This is referred to working with live wires: only qualified personnel must
perform this operation.

CE CONFORMITY

IDENTIFIES THE CLASS OF PRECISION.

It identifies an advanced function explained in the technical manual (for
technical personnel).

Do not install in any area where there is a risk of explosion.

The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it
must be taken to separate collection or to the reseller when a new equivalent type of
equipment is purchased. The adequate differentiated refuse collection in having the

product recycled, helps to avoid possible negative effects on the environment and
health and supports the recycling of the materials of which the equipment is made. The unlawful
disposal of the product by the user will entail fines foreseen by the current regulations.

3.1 Case and dimensions

The indicator has a STAINLESS STEEL case, whose external dimensions are shown in the Figure 1. It
can be simply put on a table or fixed to a shelf or column available on request.

NOTE: If the identification plate is supplied separately (therefore not attached to the indicator),
it isadvisable to attach it to the indicator, in order to be able to identify the instrument.

INSTALLATION

3.3 Power supply

The indicator is powered with 12Vdc voltage (8 ÷ 36 Vdc in the IO version), through an internal
adapter which converts the 100 ÷ 240Vac, 50÷60Hz mains voltage.
To power the instrument through the 240 Vac mains insert the plug and the adapter to the 240
Vac mains socket.

To connect the indicator to the power mains, the safety regulations must be observed,

including the use of a "clean" line without disturbances or interference caused by other
electronic equipment.

Do not connect other equipment to the same socket as the one that the adapter is in.
Do not step on or crush the power supply cable.
