4. INSTALLATION

PRECAUTION: Please read this section carefully before installation of the instrument. Applying the

recommendations in this section will increase your system reliability and long term performance.

4.1 Recommendations

Please follow the installation and commissioning steps described below carefully to prevent unwanted results
after installation.

4.1.1 Control Cabinet Design

Warning: Please care the following warnings for designing the control cabinet which will increase your

system reliability.

The control cabinet should be designed so that Analog Digitizer can operate safely. The panel should be
placed in a clean area, not getting direct sun light if possible, with a temperature between -10 ºC and +40 ºC,
humidity not exceeding 85% non-condensing. All external cables should be installed safely to avoid
mechanical damages.

FT-10 instruments are very low level signal measuring instruments. To avoid electrical noise, FT-10 should
be separated from the equipments that produce electrical noise. Preferable use metal cabinet against radio
frequency interference and the cabinet shall be connected to ground against the electromagnetic
disturbances. Load cell cable trays must be separated from others, if possible. If there are noise-generating
equipments such as heavy load switches, motor control equipments, inductive loads etc., please be careful
against the EMC interference in the cabinet. If possible protect FT-10 instruments with the faraday cage or
install them in separate section or install them far away from this kind of equipments. Connect parallel
reverse diodes to the DC inductive loads like relays, solenoids etc. to minimize voltage peaks on the DC
power lines.

4.1.2 Cabling

All cables coming to the control cabinet shall be shielded. Please use separate cable tray for these low
signal level cables. Distance from load cell cables, interface cables and DC power supply cables to power
line cables shall be minimum 50 cm.

4.2 Mechanical Installation

Take care to the housing dimensions and the suggested panel hole dimensions given in the Page 11. To
avoid electrical noises, protect your indicator which has very low input signal level from the equipment that
produces electrical noise in panel mounting.

4.3 Electrical Connections

Warning: Please always remember that FT-10 instruments are very low voltage measuring instruments.

Your control cabinet design and proper installation increases reliability and performance of the instrument.
Please do not forget that the instrument must be powered off before inserting or removing any peripheral
connector.

The electrical installation and quality of instrument’s grounding will provide weighing accuracy and the safety
of your indicator. If the energy condition of your plant is bad, prepare a special power line and grounding. All
required electrical connections should be done as described below.
If you have to service the indicator, turn the power off and wait at least 30 seconds before interfering.

FT-10 Smart Process Indicator, Technical Manual, Rev. 1.0, January 2014

4.3.1 Power Supply Connection and Grounding

The pin layout of the 24 VDC
connector of FT-10 Series

( rear view )
0V 24V

4 wire LC connection

6 wire LC connection

Power supply voltage of the instrument shall be between 12 VDC and 28 VDC. The pin configuration of the
24 VDC power supply connector located right - bottom of the instrument is shown in Figure 4.1 below.

The quality of the instrument’s ground will determine the accuracy and the safety of your measuring system.

A proper ground connection is needed to minimize extraneous electrical noise effects on the measurement.
A poor ground can result in an unsafe and unstable operation. It is important that the instrument should not
share power lines with noise-generating parts such as heavy load switching relays, motor control equipment,
inductive loads, etc. If the condition of the power line in the plant is poor, prepare a special power line and
grounding.
Before interfering the instrument, turn off the power and wait at least for 30 seconds.

Warning: Connect the Shield pin to the reference ground.

Figure 4.1 - The pin layout of 24VDC connector

4.3.2 Load Cell Connection

To avoid damages, the load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing the instrument. Load cell
connection detail is shown in Figure 4.2
In 4-wire installations the sense and excitation pins with the same polarity should be short circuited at the
connector side. If you have junction box, use 6 wire cable between FT-10 and the junction box, and short
circuit these pins at junction box for better performance.

Warning: Always connect Sense pins to Excitation pins for 4 wire connection. Non-connected sense pins

may cause the wrong Excitation voltage measurement and create an accuracy problem.

Warning: Connect the load cell cable shield to the reference ground or shield pin of the load cell

connector.

Only one set point value is entered. The
output state is forced active high when the
weight is higher than SP1, else the output is
passive.
Refer to parameter [ 131 ] on Page 29.

Threshold Output:

2 set point values are entered. SP1 is the
point that the output goes active when the
weight increased from SP1_H. SP1_L is the
point that the output drops to passive state
when the weight decreased to SP1_L.
Inverse function is available.

Refer to parameter [ 7-- ] on Page 36.

Window Output:

2 set point values are entered. The output is
active when the weight is between SP1_L
and SP1_H. Inverse function is available.
Refer to parameter [ 7-- ] on Page 36.

4.4 Commissioning

PRECAUTION: Please read this manual carefully before energizing the instrument. Perform the

commissioning operation according the procedure given in this section. Only trained person is allowed for
cleaning, commissioning, checking and servicing of the instrument. The interference of untrained person
may cause some unwanted damages or injuries.

Before power on the instrument, please make the required mechanical and electrical installations. After
power on, you have to program your FT-10 before field bus interfacing.
Install IndFace1X to your PC. IndFace1X software is used for easy programming, calibration and testing of
FT-10 instruments.
After checking the performance of instruments with IndFace1X, you can begin to use FT-10 in your
application.

In this section you will find the programming and calibration procedure of FT-10 indicator according to your
application. The signs those take place on the lower right corner of the keys indicate the function of the keys
in programming menu. The basic meanings of these keys are given the table below.

5.1 Entering the Programming and Calibration

There is a DIP switch on FT-10’s rear side and its position should be “ON” ( downward ) to change the
metrological related parameters including calibration. There is no need to open the housing to change the
position of this DIP switch. If there is not set-up DIP switch on the instrument for industrial usage, its position
is always ON.

Figure 5.1 - The location of calibration DIP switch

Programming and Calibration menu consist of main blocks which are shown as [X-- ] and sub-blocks. By
using key you can reach next main blocks. After reaching the desired main block, you can get in by
pressing key. As you enter the block you will reach the first sub-block in that main block. The sub-block
address will be seen on the display as [X0- ]. You can also search between the sub-blocks by using
key and reach the first parameter of the sub-block seen on the display by key. The number of the
parameter comes on display as [XY0 ]. Again you can search between parameters by key. For
entering numerical value in the parameters, press the key to select the digit and press the key the

change the value.

“Calibration”

Press key to start zero adjustment.
Or press key to access span calibration without zero adjustment.

The instrument has fast access calibration feature to earn time to the service technician. If only the
calibration adjustment is needed, follow the steps below to access the calibration parameters fast.

5.3 Exiting the Programming and Calibration

If you press key on which parameter you are, you will get out of the active sub-block and reach the
next sub-block. If you press key again, you will get out of the active block and reach the next main
block. If you press key once again, the [ SAvE ] message appears on the display. Here you can press

key to save the changes into the memory, or you can press key to store the changes until the

power goes off, or you can press key to abort changes. [ Waıt ] message will be seen on the display
for a little while, and automatically get back to weighing mode.

Especially for legal metrological usage, please don’t forget to turn the power off and “OFF” position the

calibration DIP switch to start operation.
