4.11 Multiple Load Cells With Single Indicator
The Ron multi-cell system can support up to 8 load cells. The indicator receives the
individual weight data from all the factory-matched load cells that are included in a
specific multi-cell system.
The standard Ron 2501 indicator receives data from a single load cell at a standard
rate of about once per second. It is synchronized with the load cell signal to be open
to receiving data for only a few milliseconds and closed to the data for the rest of the
time. It is closed to data transmission more than 90% of the time, thus saving energy
and enabling it to function for more than 2000 hours before the load cell and the
indicator batteries need to be replaced or recharged.
In the multi-cell system, the receiver is continuously open to data transmissions
resulting in a much shorter battery life of only about 100 hours. The load cells in the
multi load cell system will last, as in the standard Ron 2501, more than 2000 hours.
Switching between individual load cells and SUM display:
Pressing ESC will cycle through all of the currentlyactive load cells.
After the last active load cell, the sum total of all active load cells will be displayed.
If there is an overload in a particular load cell, the display will show OVL.##, with
the number being that of the overloaded cell.
If there is an extreme overload the display will showDNG.##.
If there is a communication problem, the display will showT.ER.##.
Deactivation Load Cells:
Enter the menu by pressing and holding the Menu/OK button until MENU is
displayed
Use the arrow keys to select ID and press Menu/OK.
The display will read ID#:ON Scroll through the available ID with the arrow keys
(▲▼).
To switch the status press TARE.
The display will show the new status (ID#:ON) or (ID#:OFF).
