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.

This parameter lets you to perform calibration without using any test weights. FT-10 A/D coefficients
are adjusted in production for increasing eCal accuracy. The calibration coefficients are calculated
by scale capacity, total load cell capacity, load cell full scale output, and estimated dead load. If the
conditions are convenient for zero calibration, you may perform automatic zero adjustment instead
of entering estimated preload. Press key to start eCal.
[LC.CAP ] [XXXXXX]
Enter total load cell capacity via and keys and press key to go to the next step.
Example : If the weighing system has 4 pcs 1000 kg load cell, enter 4000.
[LC.oUt ] [XXXXXX]
Enter load cell output in mV/V via and keys. If the weighing system has more than one
load cell, calculate the mean value of load cells outputs mV/V indicated on the certificates of the load
cells. Press key to go to the next step.
Example: If load cell outputs are LC1: 2.0010, LC2: 1.9998, LC3:1.9986 and LC4:2.0002, the mean
value will be
Mean of LC outputs = ( 2.0010 + 1.9998 + 1.9986 + 2.0002 ) ÷ 4 = 1.9999 mV/V.

[XXXXXX]
If the scale is empty and you want to make automatic zero adjustment instead of entering estimated
dead load (see next step), press key. After [ Zero.CA ] appears, press key for starting
zero adjustment. The display will show [ WAıt ] message during zero adjustment. In this while the
scale must be unloaded and stable. Approximately 10 seconds later the display will prompt you to
save the calibration by [ SAvE ] message below.
If the scale is not empty or you prefer to enter estimated preload value, press the up key.
[PrE-Ld]
[XXXXXX]
Enter the dead load value of the weighing system in current unit by using and keys.
Press the key to go to the next step.
[ SAvE ]
Save your eCal calibration by pressing key or press key to go out without saving your
eCal calibration.
Note: If you want to make zero adjustment after entering estimated preload value, empty the scale, change

FT-10 indicator family has different kind of serial interfaces like RS 232, RS 485 and Ethernet etc. In this
section, you will find the data structure of different type of the data outputs via these serial ports except field
bus interfaces. You will find detailed information on field bus interfacing in the related sections.
6.1 Continuous Data Output
Continuous data output of the instrument is transmitted in the following data structure. The serial ports of
FT-10 are suitable for bi-directional communication. If you transmit ASCII codes of P(print), Z(zero), T(tare)
or C(clear) letters to the serial port of FT-10; the indicator will act like the related keys are pressed.
CR (Carriage return) and LF (Line feed) codes can be enabled or disabled from response but they must be
sent to end of ASCII command.
CHK (Checksum) can be enabled or disabled from both command and response and only continuous data
output can be programmed for more than one interface.
The data format of continuous data output is;
The including of the status bytes STA, STB and STC are:
CHK (Checksum) = 0 – ( STX STATUS A ..... LF )
Error Messages: UNDER, OVER, A.OUT, L-VOLT, H-VOLT, are represented in Indicated data fields.
Note: The weight data is represented with right aligned and the error messages are represented with left
aligned.
Note: The continuous data is started to send after 20 seconds after power-on. This property helps to
connect IndFace1X on RS 485 bus.

Fast continuous “indicated weight” data output can be used only for the instruments which can communicate
fast. The output rate is related with the baud rate. Use higher baud rate for faster data rate. Received ASCII
codes of P(print), Z(zero), T(tare) or C(clear) letters, the indicator will act like the related keys are pressed.
CR and LF can be enabled in the related parameter.
The data format of the fast continuous data output is;
[STX][STATUS][SIGN][WEIGHT VALUE][CR][LF]
Examples :
S+000123.4 (weight is stable and 123.4)
D+000123.4 (weight is dynamic and 123.4)
+ (Over load)
- (Under load)
O (ADC out error)
6.3 Print Mode

Description
FT-10 MB indicator has a Modbus RTU interface over RS 485 / RS 232C serial port. This interface can be
programmable to High-Low or Low-High for different type of PLC’s. You can find below the difference of
these data formats and some companies using these formats. Two types are available as;
8.1 Modbus RTU Data Structure
After programming RS 485 / RS 232C serial port for Modbus RTU, it can be used as a Modbus RTU slave on
Modbus RTU network. The Modbus slave address is defined in the RS-485 address (Page 25). Functions
code ‘0x03’ (Read Holding Registers) and ‘0x10’ (Preset Multiple Registers) are supported.
Modbus RTU High-Low: In two word registers, the data is stored to the registers in big-endian format. Least
significant word is stored to the highest register address; and most significant word is stored to the lowest

(2) Only set point low addresses are used if the set point is programmed as standard.
Programming steps of frequent used ……
Reading a weight value:
1. Read 40003,
2. Check D0=0 and D1=1,
3. If yes, read a weight value ( gross, net or tare),
4. If D0=1, check D0 until system ready,
5. If D1=0, check the error code.
Zero Calibration procedure:
1. Check the low byte of 40033. it should be decimal '1' to start adjustment.
2. Load the decimal '188' to 40030 to start Zero calibration.
3. Check the low byte of 40033. it is decimal '3' during zero calibration process.
4. The low byte of 40033 changes to decimal '1' at the end of the Zero calibration.
5. If the low byte of 40033 is '9', check the high byte of 40033 to understand the calibration error.
Span Calibration procedure:
1. Check the low byte of 40033. it should be decimal '1' to start adjustment.
2. First load the span value to 40031-32 and then load the decimal '220' to 40030 to start Span
calibration.
3. Check the low byte of 40033. it is decimal '4' during span calibration process.

(1) Write this command after writing values to 40031-32 addresses.
(2) Only set point low addresses are used if the set point is programmed as standard.
Programming steps of frequent used ……
Reading a weight value:
1. Read 40003,
2. Check D0=0 and D1=1,
3. If yes, read a weight value ( gross, net or tare),
4. If D0=1, check D0 until system ready,
5. If D1=0, check the error code.
Zero Calibration procedure:
1. Check the low byte of 40033. it should be decimal '1' to start adjustment.
2. Load the decimal '188' to 40030 to start Zero calibration.
3. Check the low byte of 40033. it is decimal '3' during zero calibration process.
4. The low byte of 40033 changes to decimal '1' at the end of the Zero calibration.
5. If the low byte of 40033 is '9', check the high byte of 40033 to understand the calibration error.
Span Calibration procedure:
1. Check the low byte of 40033. it should be decimal '1' to start adjustment.
2. First load the span value to 40031-32 and then load the decimal '220' to 40030 to start Span
calibration.
3. Check the low byte of 40033. it is decimal '4' during span calibration process.
4. The low byte of 40033 changes to decimal '1' at the end of the Span calibration.
5. If the low byte of 40033 is '9', check the high byte of 40033 to understand the calibration error.
