4. Installation and Commissioning
PRECAUTION: Please read this manual carefully before energizing the indicator. Perform the commissioning
operation according the procedure given here. Use trained personnel for cleaning, commissioning, checking and
service of the indicator. The interference of untrained personnel may cause some unwanted damages or injures.
Note: In this manual the term “Digital Load Cell“ will be refered to “DLC“.
4.1 Mechanical Installation
First of all please determine the place where your indicator can operate safely. This place should be clean, not
getting direct sun light if possible, with a temperature between -10 ºC and +40 ºC, humidity not exceeding 85%
non-condensing. Take care to the housing dimensions and the suggested panel hole dimensions given in
chapter 3.4. All the cables should be installed safely to avoid mechanical damages.
To avoid electrical noise protect your indicator which has very low input signal level from the equipment that
produces electrical noise, especially in panel mounting.
4.1.1. Jumpers
There are three jumpers on the instrument’s main board/weighing board for calibration and for switching on/off.
To change the position of this jumpers, open the housing and perform the necessary changes before energizing
the indicator.

4.2. Electrical Connections
4.2.1. Power Supply and Grounding
FT-11(D) is available with 230 V AC power supply or 24 V DC or 12 V DC power inlet. The 230 V AC indicators
are supplied with a power cable; the DC indicators are supplied with a special connector for the power inlet.
Prepare your power voltage according to your instrument’s power inlet. The DC connector pin configuration can
be found in Figure 4.2 below.

0 V 2 2
Housing Gnd 3 1
Desk / Panel
The quality of the instrument’s ground will determine the accuracy and the safety of your indicator. A poor
ground can result in an unsafe condition if an electrical short cuircuit happens. A good ground connection is
needed to minimize extraneous electrical noise pulses. It is important that the instrument does not share power
lines with noise-generating equipment such as heavy load switching, motor control equipments, inductive loads,
etc. If the condition of the power line in the plant is bad, prepare a special power line and grounding.
If you have to service the indicator, turn off the power and wait at least for 30 seconds before interfering.
All connectors are at the rear side of the housings of desk and panel types. The stainless steel housings must
be opened to make the required connections. These connections must be done as described below.

4.2.2. Standard Load Cell Connection (for FT-11 only)
The load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing to avoid damages to the weight indicator and
the load cells. The input resistance of the load cells that you want to connect should be more than 58 .
The sense pins of the instrument should be connected. In 4-wire installations the sense and excitation pins with
the same polarity should be short circuited at the connector side.

4.3. Commissioning
After making the required installations and connections to your indicator, turn the power on and perform
following steps:
Get familiar with the instrument’s setup mode (see chapter 6.1)
For FT-11D only: Define the digital load cells (see chapter 6.2)
Define the configuration parameters (see chapter 6.3)*
Define the scale parameters (see chapter 6.4)
Calibrate the scale (see chapter 6.5)
* Note: Most of the parameters can be skipped for later setup. Please take care for the parameters which may
be locked by the J2 calibration jumper in legal for trade applications (see Appendix 1: Setup and Calibration
Menu of the instrument).
If you want to use the Flintec IndFace Software (for FT-11 only) then you have to set up the instrument’s
standard serial interface to host mode (see chapter 9.2) before you adjust all the configuration parameters.
After checking the performance of your weighing instrument you can begin to use the indicator.
If there are peripheral connections, first you should turn the power off; make the peripheral connections, perform
the required safety checks and energize the indicator. Then set the related parameters and check if the
peripheral devices are operating properly.
If required perform following additional steps:
Set up the serial interfaces (see chapter 8.2)
Printer setup (see chapter 8.2)
Set up other optional inputs and outputs (see chapter 8.3ff and 9)

6.2.1. Digital Load Cell Addressing
The parameter group [22-] is used for defining and addressing the DLCs.
[22-] DLC Configuration Block
In this section the DLCs are introduced to the indicator.
[220 X] DLC Type
0 = RC3D This parameter must be set to “0” for type RC3D digital load cell.
[221 XX] Quantity of DLC
Enter the quantity of DLCs used in the scale. The quantity can be selected between 1 and 16.
[222 ] DLC Addressing
The following diagram shows the addressing principles of the DLCs in a weighbridge / truck scale. The
numbers in the diagram show the DLC addressing principle for easy eccentricity adjustment.

For addressing of DLCs, press the <Tare> key.
The messages [222 YY] and [ XXXXXX ] will be displayed alternately.
Here: “YY” DLC number /address
“X” Last 6 digits of the DLC’s serial number
If you press <Enter> the next load cell will be shown, the <F> key is used to return the parameter group
[20-].
You can enter the S/N, by pressing the <Tare> key. The serial numbering system of the indicator is 9
digits. First you will see the first 3 digits of the S/N. Enter this digits by pressing the <Tare> and <Zero>
keys. If the serial number of the DLC is less than 9 digits, the unused digits on the left must be set to “0”.
For example, if the serial number is “1234567” then “001234567” must be entered. After entering the first
3 digits, the following 6 digits are entered by pressing <Enter>.
Important hint: When addressing the connected Type RC3D load cells, the load cells should always be
loaded. If the load cells are unloaded, FT-11D may show a DLC input error.
After entering all serial numbers sequentialy, the display goes to parameter group [20-]. This means all
load cells are addressed and ready to work in the scale.
For replacing any load cell, you have to re-address the new load cell in parameter [222]. After installing
the new load cell, turn on the indicator. Enter parameter [222] and then access the load cell address of
the replaced DLC. Enter the serial number of the new load cell as described in the previous paragraph.
Note: It is always assumed that the RS485 load cell bus system is correctly terminated, please see the
manual of the installed junction box.

6.2.2. Eccentricity Adjustment
The eccentricity adjustment must be done in parameter group [32-] before the calibration of the scale. The
adjustment can be done for each load cell independently or for sectional pairs. The selection is done by
parameter [320]. After selection of the adjustment method , the adjustment is performed automatically as
described in parameter [321].
[32-] DLC Eccentricity Adjustment Block
In this parameter group the eccentricity correction is performed automatically or manually. This
adjustment must be performed automatically before calibration.
[320 X] Adjustment Method
The scale eccentricity can be adjusted in corners (each DLC individually) or in sectional pairs.
0 = Independent DLC (factory default) 1 = Sectional pair
[321 ] Auto Adjustment
After entering parameter [321] by pressing the <Tare> key, you will see [Zero CA] on the display. Unload
the scale and press the <Enter> key. Do not interfere the scale during the period the [Waıt] message is
displayed. Next the instrument will display [321 01]. Place a weight of at least 10% of the DLC capacity
as close as possible to the independent load cell or sectional pair 1. Then press <Enter>. After some
period [321 02] appears on the display. Apply the same load to the other places in sequence.
After loading all load cells / sections the message [322 ] will be shown on the display. This means the
eccentricity error correction is performed automatically.
[322 ] Manual Adjustment
If needed the eccentricity error can get modified manually. You can change the error correction
coefficients of the DLCs in this parameter. For entering this parameter press the <Tare> key. You can
change the load cell number by the <Enter> key. For changing the coefficient of any DLC select the
number of the DLC and press the <Tare> key to view and edit the coefficient. Use <Tare> and <Zero>
keys for changing the value and then press the <Enter> key.
To exit this parameter press the <F> key and save the changes you applied by pressing <Enter>. The
<F> key is used to quit without saving the manual corrections.
[323 X] Service mode: Set Shift Coefficients manually to 1
This parameter allows you to view the weighbridge’s performance with disabled eccentricity correction for
service purposes. Using this function does not change any stored coefficient but all coefficients are
“temporarily” set to value 1.
0 = Normal operation (factory default) 1 = Service mode
Attention: After the eccentricity adjustment a scale calibration has to be done.

6.5. Scale Calibration
[3--] Calibration Block
The calibration of the scale will be performed here.
[30-] Calibration
[300 ] Gravity
This parameter should be used in the scale that will be verified in two stages by gravity adjustment (in
legal metrologic applications). This parameter should not be touched in other applications.
If you enter a value in this parameter before calibration (as six decimal digits, e.g. enter “798564” for
“9.798564”), this value will be assumed as the reference gravity acceleration where the initial calibration
has been performed. After the initial calibration this parameter will be automatically set to “0”.
If the value of this parameter is “0” this means no gravity adjustment has been performed after the initial
calibration.
In the second stage of the verification the gravity acceleration of the place where the weighing indicator
will be used should be entered (as six decimal digits, e.g. enter “800065” for “9.800065”).
Exit setup by saving the changes without entering the calibration (parameter [301]).
[301 ] Calibration with Test Weights
Begin the calibration by pressing <Enter>.
Unload the scale when the displays shows [ZEro.CA] message and press <Enter>.
The display will show the [WAıt ] message during the zero calibration. In this period the scale must be
unloaded and stable.
Approximately 10 seconds later the display will show [LoAd ] and then [ XXXXXX ].
The value shown on the display is the weight that should be used for the span calibration. If the value of
the test weight which will be used is different from the value shown on the display, type the new value by
<Tare> and <Zero> keys, place the test weights on the scale and press <Enter>. Any test weight should
be at least 10% of the scale capacity or higher.
The display will show the [WAıt ] message during the span calibration. Approximately 10 seconds later
the display will show the [SAvE ] message. You can save the calibration by pressing <Enter> or quit
without saving by pressing the <F> key.
[31-] Adjustment
In this sub-block you can only perform zero adjustment or span adjustment without doing a full calibration.
[310 ] Zero Adjustment
This parameter is only used for refreshing the zero level of the scale to prevent wrong weighings due to
zero drifts. Begin the zero adjustment by pressing <Enter>. Unload the scale when the displays shows
the [ZEro.CA] message and press <Enter> again.
The display will show the [WAıt ] message during the zero adjustment. In this period the scale must be
unloaded and stable. Approximately 10 seconds later the display will show the [SAvE ] message. You can
confirm the “Save zero adjustment” by pressing <Enter> or cancel it by pressing the <F> key.
[311 ] Span Adjustment
This parameter lets you perform the span adjustment. By pressing the <Enter> key [XXXXXX] appears on
the display. The displayed value is the weight that should be used for the span adjustment. If the value of
the test weight that will be used is different from the value shown on the display, then type the new value
by <Tare> and <Zero> keys, place the test weights on the scale and press <Enter>.
The display will show the [WAıt ] message during the span adjustment. Approximately 10 seconds later
the display will show the [SAvE ] message. You can confirm the “Save span adjustment” by pressing
<Enter> or cancel it by pressing the <F> key.
[312 ] Span Adjustment Under Load (for FT-11 only)
This parameter is being used to perform span adjustment of a scale without lifting the load from it. This
operation is especially used for span adjustment of filled tanks. You can make span adjustment without
removing the load in the tank.
When you press the <Enter> key the [P.ZEro ] message appears on the display. This means the scale
will take the current load as a temporary zero. After getting ready for this level, which means temporary
zero adjustment, the <Enter> key should be pressed. The display will show the [WAıt ] message during
the temporary zero adjustment. After this step the display will show [LoAd ] for a certain period and then [
XXXXXX ]. The value shown on the display is the weight that should be used for the span adjustment. If
the value of the test weight which will be used is different from the value shown on the display, type the
FT-11(D) Technical Manual, Rev. 1.35 November 2010
Page 19 of 52
new value by <Tare> and <Zero> keys, place the test weight on the scale and press <Enter>. The display
will show the [WAıt ] message during the span adjustment under load. Approximately 10 seconds later
the display will show the [SAvE ] message. You can confirm the “Save span adjustment under load” by
pressing <Enter> or cancel it by pressing the <F> key.
[313 ] eCal (electronic calibration)
Warning: The scale capacity and the resolution must be entered before performing eCal.
This parameter allows to calibrate the scale without using test weights. Based on scale capacity, total
load cell capacity, load cell rated output and estimated preload FT-1x calculates the calibration
coefficients. If the conditions are convenient for zero calibration, you may perform automatic zero
adjustment instead of entering estimated preload.
For maximized eCal accuracy the A/D coefficients of the instrument are adjusted in the factory.
Press the <Tare> key to enter eCal.

Enter the total load cell capacity in [kg] via <Tare> and <Zero> keys and press
<Enter> to go to the next step.
Example : If the scale uses 4 load cells with 1000 kg maximum capacity for each,
then enter 4000.
Enter load cell’s rated output in [mV/V] via <Tare> and <Zero> keys. If the scale
uses more than one load cell, then calculate the mean value of all load cells’ rated
output as indicated in their certificates. Press <Enter> to go to the next step.
Example: If the load cell’s rated outputs are LC1: 2.0010, LC2: 1.9998, LC3:1.9986
and LC4:2.0002, then the mean value will be
Mean LC output = ( 2.0010 + 1.9998 + 1.9986 + 2.0002 ) ÷ 4 = 1.9999 mV/V.
Enter load cell’s rated output in [counts] via <Tare> and <Zero> keys (200 000 is
default setting). Press <Enter> to go to the next step.
If the scale is empty and you want to make an automatic zero adjustment instead of
entering the estimated preload (see next step), press the <Enter> key.
When the message [Zero.CA] appears then press the <Enter> key for starting the
zero calibration. The display will show the [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 the [SAvE ] message
(see below). If the scale is not empty or you prefer to enter the estimated preload
value, press the the <> or <> key.
Enter the scale’s dead load value in [kg] by using <Tare> and <Zero> keys.
Press <Enter> to go to the next step.
Hint: Is the deadload not exactly known, then you should enter „0“ for this
parameter. After save and restart of the weighing function the following weighing
result is identical to the real deadload value of the scale. Note this value and repeat
the eCal procedure with a known deadload value.
Save this eCal calibration by pressing <Enter> OR
press the <F> key to quit without saving this eCal calibration.
Note: If you want to make a zero adjustment after entering the estimated preload value, empty the scale,
change the preload value to (estimated value + display value at zero load) or enter parameter 310 for
zero adjustment.

7. Alibi Memory and Legal Metrological Records
If the alibi memory is installed and activated, the indicator keeps the latest 149 764 weighing records in this
memory. The recorded data can be viewed on the indicator’s display or exported via serial port.
To find a definite record you have to enter parameter [802]. After reaching the desired record, the recorded data
can be viewed in the display. If needed you can print this record together with the following 9 records by
pressing the <Print> key. If you press the <Print> key in parameter [803], all recorded data will be sent via serial
port. The <F> key cancels the print job.
Empty fields will be printed as “------“ , corrupted records as “xxxxx” . For the records for which weighing
results cannot be given, the message “no rec” will be shown on the display.
If the alibi memory is activated, the alibi record number is also found on the print out data.
After installing the alibi board or changing the main board “Error 41” or “Error 42” will be shown on the display
after power on because the activation of the alibi memory is required.
If the calibration jumper is short circuited, you can activate the alibi board by pressing the <Enter> key after
power on. Otherwise the alibi errors will disappear by pressing the <Enter> key, but you cannot export any data
(Error “43” will be shown after pressing the <Print> key ).

8.2.3. Continuous Output Mode
The continuous output mode allows for a fast and continuous data export to connected peripheral devices. The
output data structure is described in Appendix 2.
8.2.4. Host Mode (for FT-11 only)
The indicator can communicate with a PC in host mode. You can upload or download data to the indicator by
adjusting the related interface parameters within the FLINTEC IndFace software (for FT-11 only) or using the
command sets described in Appendix 3. This mode is convenient for process control applications which need
not only the weight data, but also require some uploads / downloads and status control.
8.2.5. Print Mode
In the print mode you can select the print formats (parameter group [04-], see chapter 8.2.6). This format –
preferably the single line – is convenient to use as weight data interface in legal for trade applications which
require recording to the Alibi memory. The print mode is not available for more than one interface (see also
overview in chapter 8.1).

Error Check Calculating:
CSUM = 0 – (Slave_Add + Function + … + Last_data)
(STX and CSUM are neglected while calculating CSUM)
Tool for counting:
Example:
@|01|10|0008|0001|02||0006|DE|<Cr>
To get the check sum (here FA) you have to sum following numbers first:
01+10+00+08+00+01+02+00+06 = 22
Now you have to subtracte 22 from 00:
00 - 22 = DE
(Calculation examples: 00 – 10 = F0 ; 00 – 11 = EF)

NOTE: The points you should paid attention to while loading and reading setpoints are:
To write any value to FT-1x the value should be loaded into the buffer (address 000B). Afterwards send
command “6” to address 0008 to make FT-1x to use the value at address 000B.
To read a value from FT-1x you should send command “7” to address 0008 to make FT-1x to load the
value into the buffer. Afterwards you can read the value at address 000B.
The commands “6” and “7” which are sent to address 0008 let you write or read all setpoints

2 : Address is out of range (start and end)
3 : Invalid value feed or wrong byte number
4 : Operation error
Explanation (Setpoint):
The reading and writing of the setpoints is done in two steps.
Read operation (Setpoints):
1. Step : Load the actual setpoint values to the buffer.
Sending the control command 0007 to address [0008] (40 009) stores the actual setpoint values in the buffer
address [000B], [000D] and [000F] (Register 40 012, 40 014, 40 016).
2. Step : Read the buffer memory. Reading address [000B], [000D], [000F] (Register 40 012, 40 014, 40 016)
replies the actual corresponding setpoint value.
Write Operation:
1. Step : Load the value to the assigned buffer memory. Sending the designated value to address [000B],
[000D] or [000F] (Register 40 012, 40 014 or 40 016) loads the value into the selected buffer memory.
2. Step : Apply the values from the buffer memory. Sending the control command 0006 (setpoints) to address
0008 (Register 40 009) activates the value(s) from the buffer memory.
Attention: Step 2 activates all 3 setpoint buffer values All 3 setpoint values have to be loaded to their buffer
memory (step 1) before they can be applied (Step 2).
Terminal [hex] - Examples:
Performing direct read and write operations (Modbus High-Low) with the instrument address set to “01”. Empty
spaces in the example commands are only for a good pattern recognition; Use the commands without spaces.

Calculate check sums:
1. Load a 16–bit register with FFFF hex (all 1’s). Call this the CRC register.
2. Exclusive OR the first 8–bit byte of the message with the low–order byte of the 16–bit CRC register, putting
the result in the CRC register.
3. Shift the CRC register one bit to the right (toward the LSB), fill a zero into the MSB. Extract and examine the
LSB.
4. (If the LSB was 0): Repeat Step 3 (another shift). (If the LSB was 1): Exclusive OR the CRC register with the
polynominal value A001 hex (1010 0000 0000 0001).
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until 8 shifts have been performed. When this is done, a complete 8–bit byte will have
been processed.
6. Repeat Steps 2 through 5 for the next 8–bit byte of the message. Continue doing this until all bytes have
been processed.
7. The final contents of the CRC register is the CRC value.
8. When the CRC is placed into the message, its upper and lower bytes must be swapped as described below.
