1) You can connect Max. 8pcs of same capacity Load cells at once. (350Ω)
2) You have to make horizontal balance on the ground.
3) If you install more than 2pcs of Load cells, use Summing box and adjust output signal difference as
minimum. It can make wrong weighing process caused by each load cell’s variation.
4) If there is some temperature difference around Load cell, it can cause wrong weight measurement.
5) Don’t do Welding job or Arc discharge around installation place. But, there is no choice, please
disconnect power cable and Load cell cable.
6) If you measure static electricity material, please make earth between down part and up part of Load
cell.

4-2-4. Formula to plan the precise weighing system
This “SI 4200” weighing controller’s Max. input sensitivity is 0.1㎶ / Digit.
And for precise weighing system, the following formula must be satisfied.
Caution: “Input sensitivity” means Min. output voltage variation of weighing part to change 1digit. So,
please do not make large input voltage to make reliable weighing system.
Example1.)
The number of Load cell : 1pcs
Load cell capacity : 500kg
Digital Weighing Indicator
SI 4200
Load cell Rated output : 2mV/V
Division : 0.05kg
Affirmation Voltage of Load cell : 5,000mV
Max. Capacity of Weighing System : 300kg
Then, estimation result for this weighing system with formula,
Example2.)
The number of Load cell : 4pcs
Load cell capacity : 500kg
Load cell Rated output : 2mV/V
Division : 0.10kg
Affirmation Voltage of Load cell : 5,000mV
Max. Capacity of Weighing System : 1,000kg
Then, estimation result for this weighing system with formula,
※According to “Resolution” or “Capacity”, it might not be calibrated like calculation.

5. SET-UP
5-1. Calibration
Adjust weight balance between “Real weight” on the load cell(Weight Part) and “Displayed weight of
Indicator”. When you replace LOAD CELL or Indicator, you have to do Calibration process once again
5-2. Test Weight Calibration Mode (Using Test weight)
※remarks : In case that “P-W” is displayed, you have to check the pass word.
Prepare At least 10% of Max. capacity of your weighing scale, and remove “CAL-BOLT” on the Front
panel and press “CAL - LOCK S/W” inside.
※remarks : In case that “P-W” is displayed, you have input the pass word to start
calibration mode.

※ Caution : (Max. capacity value / division value) cannot be over 20,000.(as Indicator resolution is 1/20,000).
If the value is over 20,000, Error message “ Err 01 “ will be displayed and move back “CAPA” mode again.

※ Caution : At this step, if there some force or Vibration on Weighing scale, and unstable condition will be
continued, “ErrorA”will be display, and “DEAD value” will not be calculated.
Under this condition, please remove force or vibration and process it again.
