Steps
1.) Connect weighing platform to the indicator.
2.) Configure the analog/digital converter (ADC): see chapter “Configuring Weighing
Platforms, section “Setting Parameters for ADC Configuration."
3.) Carry out a calibration/adjustment: Adjustment/Calibration, see chapter “Configuring
Weighing Platforms", section “Eternal Calibration/Adjustment" and linearization,
see chapter “Configuring Weighing Platforms", section “External Linearization".
4.) Connect peripheral devices, e .g. printer to the COM1 or UNICOM interface:
see the chapter entitled “Data Interfaces."
Connecting Weighing Platforms to WP1
An analog Sartorius platform (CAPP, CAPS, IU or IF) or a commercially-available DMS load
cell can be connected to the Combics indicator WP1 input.
3
The load cell should be connected by a certified technician who has received specialized
training from Sartorius. Any installation work that does not conform to the instructions in
this manual results in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer’s warranty.
3
Peripheral devices should be connected by a certified technician who has received specialized
training from Sartorius. Any installation work that does not conform to the instructions in
this manual results in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer’s warranty.
3
Disconnect the equipment from the power supply before starting connection work.
t Set up the weighing platform (see Operating instructions for the weighing platform).
t Place the cable from the weighing platform next to the indicator.
t Open the Combics indicator:
Loosen the 10 cap nuts on the front panel. Remove the front panel.
Installing Connection and Interface Cables
3
The cable gland (IP69K protection) is pre-mounted on the indicator.
Please use extreme caution when performing any work on the equipment that affects this
cable gland. You must use a torque wrench.
The torque for this cable gland is 5 Nm.
Preparing the Cable
t Strip approx. 14 cm from the end of the cable.
t Shorten the shielding to approx. 2 cm and pull back over the insulation.
t Strip approximately 5 mm of the insulation from the wires of the connecting cable and
affix ferrules to the wire ends.
