1.1. Overview

These remote displays are capable of displaying up to 7 alpha/numeric digits in Electro-mechanical (E/M) or up to 7 semi-alpha/numeric digits in LED format. An annunciator board is available with three status annunciations (centre of zero, net and motion). The displays are available in a variety of configurations: 4 digit, 5 digit, 5 digit + annunciator, 6 digit + annunciator and 7 digit.

The serial interface will support RS232, RS485 and 20mA Current Loop as standard. Facilities for automatic selection of the data source and baud rate are also standard.

These remote displays are capable of interpreting and displaying formatted weight transmissions from digital weight indicators. Additionally they can be used to display text.

The remote displays are addressable which allows a single device to send targeted information to multiple displays. They support firmware upgrades via an optical link on the front.

4.1. Overview

This section covers the mounting and electrical connections for the remote displays. These units contain precision electronics and must not be subjected to shock, excessive vibration, or extremes of temperature, either before or after installation.

The serial and power inputs of the displays are protected against electrical interference; however excessive levels of electro-magnetic radiation may effect the operation of the instrument. They should be installed away from any sources of electrical noise and the power and data cables should run separately from other sources of electrical noise.

The installation covers:

• Dipswitch settings

• Application of decimal point (if being used)

• Serial connection

Reference Manual - Software Version 2.xx

4. Installation

• Power connection

• Mounting – either to a flat surface using mounting clips or to an optional pole

or swivel mounting kit.

4.2. Installation Preparation

To access the dipswitches, serial and power connections remove the end plate (held by four screws) then slide the mask assembly out. Slide out only to the point of not dislodging the case earth connection near the power connection. Note: Avoid damaging the opto-link on the front of the mask assembly board.

4.8. Serial Connection

The serial connection receives the data to display. It is located on the left of the mask assembly board near the dipswitches as shown in Figure 2 - Internal Connections and Dipswitch. The connections are numbered left to right, 1 being furthest to the left near the dipswitches.

A shielded data cable should be used to prevent electrical noise interfering with the signal on the cable, and thereby the operation of the unit. The data cable should be run through the upper gland of the end plate, through the gasket and the cable sheath cut back around 50mm before being connected to the terminal blocks.

Both units have a single serial connection that automatically scans for data. There are three serial port connection types:

• RS232 isolated receive only

• RS485 isolated receive only

• 20mA Current Loop isolated receive only

Warning: If using the 24V supply to power a current loop,

ensure that external current limiting is provided otherwise

damage may occur to both units.

4.8.2. Earthing Requirements for Cable Shields

Cable shields should ideally be connected to earth at one end only for each of the communications options below. Pin 1 on the serial connection is internally connected to earth and provides a convenient location to terminate the serial cable shield.

Figure 5 - Shield Earthing

4.8.3. Powering Indicator from Remote Display (Pins 8 and 9)

Pins 8 and 9 provide a 24V DC supply at a maximum current draw of 250mA. This supply can be used to power the weighing indicator. In such installations a single serial cable with four (4) conductors joins the indicator and the remote display. Two conductors supply power to the indicator and two conductors are used for data transmission.

4.8.4. Dim LED Display (Pins 10 and 11)

For internal applications or for use in dimly lit areas, the LED display may be too bright for comfort. The display can be dimmed by shorting pins 10 and 11 and an external switch can be used.

4.8.5. RS232 Receive Only

RS232 is not suitable for long cable runs or electrically noisy environments. It uses pins 2 and 3 as shown in Figure 6 - RS232 Connection. Earthing is discussed in Earthing Requirements for Cable Shields page 10.

4.8.6. RS485 Receive Only

RS485 is the preferred serial connection and uses pins 4 and 5 as shown in Figure 7 - RS485 Connection. Earthing is discussed in Earthing Requirements for Cable Shields page 10.

Figure 7 - RS485 Connection

4.8.7. 20mA Current Loop Receive Only Warning: If using the 24V supply to power a current loop,

ensure that external current limiting is provided otherwise

damage may occur to both units.

Both units are fitted with a 20mA Current Loop receiver. It is a passive receiver meaning it is not current limited and requires external current limiting on the loop current. Therefore either your transmitter or an external device must limit the loop current. A 1.2k 0.5W resistor is recommended if using the 24V supply to power the current loop. The connection to a passive loop transmitter is shown in Figure 8 20mA Current Loop. Earthing is discussed in Earthing Requirements for Cable Shields page 10.

4.9. Power Connection

AC units operate from an AC power source between 110VAC and 240VAC. The power connection should be performed under local regulations. The earth MUST be connected for both safety and EMC regulation compliance.

DC units operate from a DC power source between 12VDC and 24VDC. For the display to power up, 12-24VDC must also be connected to the IG (ignition) input. The ignition input is a low current input, and is useful in applications where the display must be switched on by a low current source.

Run power cable through the gland of the end plate and connect as per the appropriate diagram below.

Warning: Both units contain Hazardous Voltages.

4.10.2. Wall Mounting

For wall mounting it is recommended that:

• 6mm or 1/4" bolts be used;

• all four clips are used (two on the top and two on the bottom) and

• to support the optional Weather Hood the mounting holes must be 268mm

apart as it connects to the top mounting clips.

It is suggested that the two lower clips are attached first. Then with the top of the unit angled outward from the wall the two clips can be inserted into the front channel on the bottom of the case. While holding the unit, the top brackets can be inserted to line up with the bottom brackets to allow the top holes to be marked for drilling.
