MCE2035: User manual
Version: 2011-05-17, rev.: 0a Page: 5
All switches (SW1) in the load cell module must be at the correct position before use.
Please notice that the switches (SW1) are only read once during power-up. If a change in
the switch setting is necessary the power has to be disconnected and then reconnected (af-
ter 10 seconds). Then the MCE2010 load cell module recognizes the new switch setting.
The switches SW1.1 to SW1.4 are used to select different modes of operation. The below
table is valid for the normal standard software in the load cell module. Unless expressly
specified, the default settings must normally be used.

Switch SW1.5 to SW1.8 are used for address selection. All load cell modules must have
unique addresses ascending from 0 with no gaps unless expressly specified otherwise. No
addresses may be skipped and no addresses may be used by more than one load cell mod-
ule. In systems with 1-8 load cells switch SW1.5 must be set to OFF.
