9 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. 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 3.5. 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 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. J8 On/Off Switch (always short circuit at the Panel type) J2 Calibration (short circuit for calibration) J17 short circuit for on/off key function Figure 4.1 Main board 4.2 Electrical Connections Power Supply and Grounding FT-13 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. Desk / Panel Definition Pin no. Pin no. for desk and panel type for stainless steel housing 24 V / 12 V V 2 2 Housing Gnd 3 1 Figure 4.2 The pin layout of the DC connector 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 FT-13 Technical Manual, Rev February 2015 Page 9 of 65

10 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 Standard Load Cell Connection 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 Ω. 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. 6-wire Load Cell Connection 4-wire Load Cell Connection Pin no. for desk type & panel type (D-Sub, 9-pin, female) Pin no. for Stainless steel housing (J12 connector) + Excitation + Excitation Sense + Excitation 2 2 Shield Shield Sense - Excitation Excitation - Excitation Signal + Signal Signal - Signal 8 5 Shield Shield Connector body Digital I/O Connections FT-13 is equiped with a digital I/O board which provides 4 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs.

The additional inputs and outputs are not used in the standard filling programmes, but can be used depending on the customized application programming (requires special development order from the customer and customized firmware programming in the factory). The pin numbers are the same as the first 4 input / 8 output connector located on the instrument, but the meanings depend on the application software downloaded to the instrument. 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) 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). 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 filling programme (see chapter 7) Set up the serial interfaces (see chapter 8) Set up other communication interfaces (see chapter 8) FT-13 Technical Manual, Rev February 2015 Page 11 of 65

Select your filling programme 2. Prepare the digital I/O connections according to the selected filling programme (see chapter 4.2.3) 3. Set up and calibrate the scale (see chapter 6) 4. Enter the process parameters for the selected filling programme as explained in chapter 7.2 and a. If you don t use recipes: Enter Target, tolerance and preset values as explained in chapter 7.3 b. If you use recipes: Enter the recipes as explained in chapter Perform tests and optimise the filling process You can find the meaning of the filling parameters in the filling cycle diagram shown below (Fig. 7.1). In this diagram the instrument does not follow the weight during coarse and fine feeding control delay periods. This increases the reliability of the system. The actual weight value is read out at the end of the settling time. This allows for better tolerance control and / or cut-off point adjustment. Figure 7.1 Typical filling cycle diagram (displayed weight vs time) You can change the target and preset values very quickly via keys. If you use the recipe memory, you can select the recipe (set of target, preact, dribble, tolerance, coarse, middle, fine) to spare time for different filling applications.

38 7.5 Filling Parameters [5--] [50-] Filling Parameters 1 In this section the programme selection is done and the main filling parameters are defined. [500 X] Programme selection 0 = Prog. 0 Filling into open container (factory default value) 1 = Prog. 1 Filling below bunghole of the container 2 = Prog. 2 Below surface filling in the container 3 = Prog. 3 Filling and emptying type 1 4 = Prog. 4 Accurate filling / Accurate discharging 5 = Prog. 5 Charging / Accurate discharging 6 = Prog. 6 Filling and emptying type 2 7 = Prog. 7 Filling the bag 8 = Prog. 8 Bag filling from hopper scale 9 = Prog. 9 Reserved [501 XX] Preact correction factor The material flow may change because of changes in temperature, viscosity, height of the material, etc. This causes filling errors and the fine value has to be changed accordingly. FT-13 follows the filling errors and adjusts the new preact value for the next filling cycle if the filling error is smaller than the value entered in parameter [503]. The adjustment rate is defined by this parameter in percentage, the factory default setting is 30%. The new preact value is calculated by the formula below: New fine lead in = Fine lead in + (Actual Target ) x Preact correction factor/100 [502 X] Preact correction frequency Type FT-13 can adjust the fine value according to the filling error of the previous filling cycle. The preact adjustment is applied each time after a certain number of filling cycles which is defined here to decrease the filling time. The new fine value is calculated according to the entered rate in parameter [501]; e.g, if the value of this parameter is set to 3, the preact correction is done after each 3 filling cycles. X = 0, 1, 2, 3 9; factory default setting is 1. Attention: This parameter must be set to 1 if all cycles have to be controlled for tolerances. If you don t want to make preact correction but data logging or tolerance check, then adjust parameter [502] to 1 and parameter [501] to 0. [503 ] Preact correction limit [ X ] This parameter defines a limit for preact correction. If the filling error is larger than this value, the preact correction is not applied. Factory default setting is 100%. [504 X.X] Coarse feeding and middle feeding control delay When the coarse feeding / middle feeding starts, the weight control is delayed for this time period. This is particularly helpful if an extreme weight increase happens due to material strikes on the scale at the beginning of the filling. The maximum value of this parameter is 9.9 s, factory default setting is 0.7 s. [505 X.X] Fine feeding control delay When the fine feeding starts the weight control is delayed for this time period for preventing coarse feed overshoot effects. The maximum value of this parameter is 9.9 s, factory default setting is 0.7 s. [506 X.X] Maximum settling time [cd X.X] [SL X.X] Time delay before maximum settling time starts; no operation; Factory default setting = 0.0 s Maximum settling time; Factory default setting = 1.0 s; the maximum value range is 9.9 s If the weight display is not stable within the maximum settling time after the filling, FT-13 activates the error output and gives a stability alarm. In this case the tolerance control cannot be performed. Attention: Settling time is enabled when the preact correction function is enabled (parameter [502] ). FT-13 Technical Manual, Rev February 2015 Page 38 of 65

39 [507 X.X] Jogging time If the filling weight is less than the target value, further material is added step by step with the time period entered here. If it is set to 0, no material addition is applied. It can be entered as a multiple of 100 ms. Factory default setting is 0. [508 ] Maximum filling time [ X ] This parameter controls the filling / discharging process time. If the filling / discharging time exceeds this time period, an error message appears [FıLL t]. If it is set to 0, there will be no control. It can be entered as a multiple of 100 ms. Factory default setting is 0. [509 ] Maximum weight [ X ] This parameter defines the maximum allowed weight value in gross. If the displayed weight or the sum of the target weight and the tare weight is higher than the defined value the message [OVER] is shown on the display. Factory default setting is 3000 kg. [50A X ] Enable <Start> / <Reset> keys 0 : Disabled (factory default setting) 1 : Enabled [50b X ] Filling quantity control 0 : The filling quantity entered by the <Q> key decreases automatically after each filling cycle and a warning message appears when it is zero (factory default setting). 1 : The filling quantity is increased by one after each filling cycle and there will be no filling quantity control. [50C X ] Feeding type For 2-speed feeding: 0 : Coarse and fine feedings are enabled sequentially 1 : Coarse & fine feedings and fine feeding are enabled sequentially For 3-speed feeding: 2 : Coarse, middle and fine feedings are enabled sequentially 3 : Coarse & fine feedings, middle & fine feedings and fine feeding are enabled sequentially 4 : Coarse & middle & fine feedings, middle & fine feedings and fine feeding are enabled sequentially [50d XX] Fine feeding time at cycle start This parameter defines the fine feeding time before the coarse feeding. If this parameter is set to 0, the filling operation starts with the coarse feeding. It can be defined up to 99 s. [50E ] Zeroing period [ X ] This parameter defines the automatic zeroing period in [s]. The zeroing is performed automatically at the next filling cycle after this time period. For legal for trade applications the value entered here shall be less than the value calculated at the OIML R-61 section A If the zeroing will be done each cycle, this value shall be entered less than the minimum filling time. The allowed value range goes up to 5399 s (= 90 minutes). [50F X.X ] Zeroing delay This parameter defines the zeroing delay time before zeroing. It can be defined up to 9.9 s. The factory default is 3.0 s. FT-13 Technical Manual, Rev February 2015 Page 39 of 65
