2 Installation and Wiring

2.1 Connection of Power Supply
M02 weighing indicator connects DC24V power supply as follows:

Power supply connection

2.2 Connection of Load Cell

M02 weighing indicator connects bridge type resistance strain gauge load
cells by 6 wires or 4 wires as follows. When you use 4-wired load cells, you must
bridge the SN+ with EX+ and bridge the SN- with EX-.
The signal definition of each port of the load cell connector is as follows:
EX+: Excitation+ EX-: Excitation- SN+: Sense+ SN-: Sense- SIG+: Signal+ SIG-: Signal-

5
 MA10.. Indicator

6 wires EX+ SN+ EX- SN- SIG+ SIG- Shield

4 wires EX+ EX- SIG+ SIG- Shield

2.2.1 6 wires connection

Note:
1. As load cell output sensitive analog signal, please use shield cable to separate
with other cables, especially AC power.
2. 4 wires connection is suitable for short distance and stable temperature or low
precision field, otherwise use 6 wires connection.
3. For more load cells parallel connection, their sensitivity (mV/V) should be same.

2.4 Optional Expansion Board Output

M02 weighing indicator supports analog output, RS232 or RS485 as optional

output function, please confirm it when place orders.

2.4.1 Analog Output (Optional)

At normal displaying status, press to check the analog output.

The definition of analog output as below:

 MA10.. Indicator

The definition of analog output:

V+: voltage-output+, V-: voltage-output-
I+: current-output +, I-: current-output -

Analog output two types:

1) Voltage output: 0-5V/0-10V is optional .
2) Electric current output: 4-20mA/0-20mA/0-24mA is optional.
3) User-define function, users can define analog output type and output range.

The analog output has been calibrated before the delivery of the indicators, so
users do not need to make calibration. If analog output is abnormal, users can
calibrate by themselves as follows:（Suggestion: please calibrate under the
instruction of professionals)

3 Calibration
3.1 Instruction
（1）Calibration procedure must be executed when a M02 indicator is put in use at the
first time, the preset parameters may no longer meet the user’s needs, and any part of
the weighing system was changed. Position of decimal point, minimum division,
maximum capacity, zero, and gain can be set and confirmed through calibration.

（2）If you want to set only one parameter, please press to save parameter’s

value and then press to exit.

（3）Please see section 3.7 for parameters’ instruction.

（4）Please record each value in the blank table in section 3.4 during calibration for the
emergency use in future.

（5）See chapter 9 for error alarm message that may be displayed during calibration.

3.3 Millivolt Value Display

This function is mainly used for system test, position-error test for weighing
mechanism and linearity test for load cell.
1. System Test
(1) If display data changes with loaded weight changes, it shows that connection
of load cell is correct and weighing mechanism works well.
(2)If display value is OFL (or –OFL), it means that loaded weight on load cells is
too large (or too small). Please unload the weight (or load more), if display value is still
OFL (or –OFL), the possible reasons are as follows:
a. There is something wrong with weighing mechanism, please check and clear.
b. The connection of load cell is incorrect, please check and clear.
c. Load cells may be damaged, please replace.
2. Position-error Test for Weighing Mechanism
Load a same weight on each corner of weighing mechanism and record
displayed millivolt value respectively. If differences among these values are obvious,
please adjust weighing mechanism.
3. Linearity Test for Load Cell
Load same weight for several times, and record displayed value every time. If
one or two values are obviously much larger or smaller than any others, it means that
the linearity of load cell is bad.
*NOTE: You must use to zero display data before weight is
loaded for each time.

19
 MA10.. Indicator

3.4 Calibration with Weights

During calibration with weight ，please record the zero millivolt value, gain millivolt
value and the loaded weight value in the blank table below. If it is not convenient to load
a weight to calibrate, these values can be used for calibration without weights.

3.5 Millivolt Calibration
When it is not convenient to load a weight to calibrate，alibration can be done without
weights using recorded data in the table in section 3.4.
However, this method is just used for some emergencies, it will make calibration
result incorrect if load cells, or indicator has been replaced.

6.2.3.8 CRC computation

All the values in front of the parity bit add together and convert to decimal data,
then convert the last 2 bits to ASCII code (decade in front and the unit at the back).
For example

The following is a frame of data:

0 3 3 3 4 4 5 3 3 0 0
2 0 1 1 F 3 A 8 4 D A
Add 02~5A: 180(Hex),convert to decimal data: 384. We can calculate from this

47
 MA10.. Indicator

that the check code is 38,34 for the data frame.

6.3 tt TOLEDO Protocol
When choose “tt” protocol in working parameter F2.3, indicator will send datas in
continuous mode with TOLEDO protocol.

7.1 Password Input

（1）Indicator calibration and working paraters setting default password: 000000.
（2）User can set password in parameters when F4.1 is“ON”.
（3）When display is “PASS”, need to input correct password to enter parameters.
Note:
（1）When input password, if first time wrong, it will go to the second chance for
password input(display from turn to ).
（2）If second input wrong, it will enter into interface for inputting password the third
time
(Display change from to ).
（3）If Input wrong for three times, main display show “Error4” and self-lock, but user

can operate when power on again.

7.2 Password Setting

（1）User can set password in parameters when F4.1 is“ON”.

60

（2）User must input same new password twice in setting password,If not same, main

display show“Error”one second and return to PASS again.

Press and the

PASS same time to display‘PASS’,
then password input.
