WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Installing cable connections and servicing this instrument require access to shock hazard level voltages
which can cause death or serious injury.
Disconnect separate or external power sources to relay contacts before commencing any maintenance.
The electrical installation must be carried out in accordance with CE directions and/or any other
applicable national or local codes.
Unused cable conduit entries must be securely sealed by non-flammable blanking plates or blind
grommets to ensure complete enclosure integrity in compliance with personal safety and environmental
protection requirements.
To ensure safety and correct performance this instrument must be connected to a properly grounded,
three-wire power source.
Proper relay use and configuration is the responsibility of the user.
Do not operate this instrument without the front cover being secured. Refer any installation, operation
or servicing issues to qualified personnel.

Bef or e an indic ator can be used, the ADC (A nalog Digital Convert er ) needs to be calibrat ed.
This way it knows where to start and where to end.
The A DC c onv er ts the analog output f r om the load cells t o a digital signal, this signal is us ed
for all different calculat ions and to make it r eady for readable inf or m ation on the display.
To change and chec k the calibrat ion, select “ Calibr ation” fr om the indicator s etup
Sample:
Sample s hows the direct v alue of the ADC (analog digital converter).
0 = minim um , 1000000 = maxim um .
Weight:
This field shows t he ac tual weigher value.
Weight x 10:
This field shows t he ac tual weigher value + an extra digit, so this weigher v alue is 10 times
more ac c ur ate then t he nor m al v alue.
This v alue is needed when the indicator gets cert ified.
Example:
The nor m al weigher v alue is 10,00 kg
The weigher v alue x 10 c ould be 10,002, 10, 001, 10,000, 9, 999 or 9,998 kg.

At PENKO Engineering we specialize in weighing. Weighing is inherently chemically correct, independent of consistency, type or temperature of
the raw material. This means that weighing any kind of material guaranties consistency and thus, it is essential to sustainable revenue generation
in any industry.
As a well-established and proven solution provider, we strive for the ultimate satisfaction of custom design and/or standard applications, increasing
your efficiencies and saving you time, saving you money.
Whether we are weighing raw materials, components in batching, ingredients for mixing or dosing processes, - or weighing of static containers and
silos, or - in-motion weighing of railway wagons or trucks, by whatever means required during a process, we are essentially forming vital linkages
between processes and businesses, anywhere at any time. We design, develop and manufacture state of the art technologically advanced systems
in accordance with your strategy and vision. From the initial design brief, we take a fresh approach and a holistic view of every project, managing,
supporting and/or implementing your system every step of the way. Curious to know how we do it? www.penko.com
PENKO sets high standards for its products and product
performance which are tested, certified and approved by
independent expert and government organizations to ensure
they meet – and even – exceed metrology industry guidelines. A
library of testing certificates is available for reference on:
