2.5 DEFINITIONS AND CONVENTIONS

ADC:
Analogue to digital converter, converts the analogue signal into a digital signal.
DAC:
Digital to analogue converter, converts the digital signal to an analogue signal, usually after some digital
signal processing.
Dead weight:
Dead weight is the self weight of the platform or scale load carrying structure on the load cells without
the contents or items to be weighed. The output voltage of the load cell in response to the weight of the
platform is usually the zero offset. The zero offset must be within the range of the instrument adjustment
for correct operation.
Live weight:
The weight that is applied to the scale and shown on the indicator.
Excitation voltage:
The voltage that is supplied by the indicator to the load cell.
Load cell:
Load cell is a device that converts force to electronic voltage. A load cell consists of two parts. The first
part is a sensor that can be linearly distorted according to the force applied to it. The second part is the
strain gauge element which changes its resistance according to the distortion of the sensor.
Load cell rated output:
The output voltage from the load cell divided by the excitation voltage at load cell rated capacity. This is
usually expressed in mV/V.
Input range:
The maximum range of input that the device can accept. This is usually stated in mV and for a full load
cell system is calculated from the number of load cells (Lcn), mV/V (LCmv) and capacity (LCcap) and
also the maximum total load (TL) (including dead load) on the load cells and the excitation voltage (EV).
Input Range (mV) = TL / (LCn * LCcap) * LCmv * EV
Note: A summing box with corner adjustment will reduce this value slightly.
FSO:
Full scale output. Errors may be presented as a % of the full output range after calibration.
PLU
Product Look Up. A code to look up values stored in product information
CLU
Counting Look Up. A code to look up values stored for counting
APW
Average product weight. Used in parts counting, this is the average weight of one piece of product,
determined by weighing a sample and dividing by the number of parts.
ALU
Amount Look Up. A code to look up values stored in memory in relation to the amounts (quantity) of
parts in check weighing.
Span Adjustment
Adjust the indicator so that when the load on the scale is changed the scale correctly shows the same
change.

4 GETTING STARTED
4.1 THE STEPS BEFORE OPERATION
Warning: Please take note of the steps below required to get your scale operating. Each step refers to
the appropriate location in the manual.
1. Install load cells into weighing system and connect to a junction box for multiple
load cells.
2. Connect load cells from the junction box to the indicator. 5.3 , p11
Take note of the number of wires and follow the wiring instruction for 4 or 6 wire
connections.
3. Connect the indicator to the power supply. 5.4 , p11
4. Check to see if access to settings requires a pass code, a switch to be activated or

a jumper wire to be installed.
5. Configure required settings for communications and I/O ports. 5.8 , p13, 6.3.8 ,
p22.
6. Configure the indicator for the desired weighing range and increment of weight.
7.4.2 , p43
Note, this is not necessarily the capacity of the load cells, it is good practise to have
some reserve capacity. For example 4 x 10t load cells may be used for a weighing
range of 30t.
7. Calibrate the instrument to show zero with an empty scale and the correct weight
when loaded (zero and span). There are various methods of calibration, the most
accurate is generally calibration with a known weight. 7.5 , p43
8. Adjust filter ( 7.3.2.1 , p42)and other settings to suit the operating environment.
Make sure high resolution display is not activated in normal weighing. 7.4.1.2 ,
p43.
9. Check the configuration to confirm calibration and settings are correct and correct
operation of the scale by placing a known load on the scale.
5 INSTALLATION
5.1 GENERAL RULES
Warning: Please read this manual carefully before installing the instrument. Applying the
recommendations in this section will increase your system reliability and long term performance.
Control Cabinet
The control cabinet should be designed so that PT210 can operate safely and with highest
performance. The panel should be placed in a clean area, out of direct sun light if possible, with a
temperature between -15 ºC and +55 ºC and humidity not exceeding 85%RH, non-condensing. All
external cables should be installed securely to avoid mechanical damage.
PT210 instruments are very low level signal measuring instruments. To avoid electrical noise they
should be separated from any equipment that produces electrical noise.
• It is preferable to use metal cabinets to protect against radio frequency interference and ensure
the cabinet is connected to ground.
• Load cell cable trays must be separated from others, if possible, as power or motor control
cables can cause interference.
• If there is noise-generating equipment, such as heavy load switches, motor control equipment,
inductive loads etc., please take care to protect against EMC interference in the cabinet and if
necessary protect PT210 instruments with a Faraday cage or install them well separated or in a
separate section well away from this kind of equipment.
• Connect parallel reverse diodes to the DC inductive loads like relays, solenoids etc. to minimize
voltage peaks on the DC power supply.
• If the condition of your plant electrical supply fluctuates or is subject to noise and interference,
prepare a special power line and grounding.
• Good quality grounding of the instruments will improve weighing accuracy and the safety of
your indicator.
Cabling
All cables coming to the control cabinet should be shielded. Please use separate cable trays for these
low signal level cables. The distance from load cell cables, interface cables and DC power supply
cables to mains power line cables must be minimum 50 cm unless they are installed in a properly
grounded steel conduit or you could experience a reduction in performance.
Warning: Please always remember that PT210 instruments are very low voltage measuring
instruments. Your control cabinet design and proper installation increases reliability and performance of
the instrument. Please do not forget that the instrument must be powered off before inserting or
removing any peripheral connector.
5.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

The PT210 indicators are panel mounted from the front with stainless steel front and back parts, and
aluminium body. Dimensions are shown with 1/8 DIN cut out below. The PT210DIN DIN rail mounts.

PT210PB rear panel PT210PN rear panel
PT210EI rear panel PT210EN rear panel
PT210CO rear panel PT210PL and PT210EC rear panel
PT210CC rear panel PT210DIN Connections
Install the indicator into the panel from the front with the panel fixing accessories supplied. Be sure to
complete the mechanical installation of your weighing system and the panel installation is finished to
ensure optimum life before starting the electrical installation as described below.
5.3 CONNECTING THE LOAD CELL

Warning: After load cell connection to the instrument, welding on the mechanical structure or fittings is
not recommended. Disconnect all connectors from the indicator before any welding on the mechanical
hardware.
The load cell wiring should be installed carefully before energising to avoid damage to the instrument
and load cells. The combined input resistance of the load cells that you want to connect should be more
than 42Ω. Do not bind the load cell cables together with other cables as it could result in cross-talk
interference. Please also keep them well away from the AC power cables.
4 wire LC connection 6 wire LC connection
Load cell connection details are shown above. In 4-wire installations the sense and excitation pins with
the same polarity should be connected together in the connector (connect Sense+ to Excitation+,
Sense- to Excitation-). If you have a junction box in your system, use 6 wire cable between the
instrument and the junction box, and for 4 wire load cells connect Sense and Excitation in the junction
box for better performance.
Warning: Always connect Sense pins to Excitation pins for 4 wire connection. Non-connected sense
pins may cause the wrong Excitation voltage measurement and create an accuracy problem.
Warning: Connect the load cell cable shield to the reference ground or shield pin of the load cell
connector (centre pin).
5.4 POWER SUPPLY AND GROUNDING

The weighing instrument measures very low signal levels. The quality of the power supply and
grounding will affect the accuracy and the safety of your measuring system. It is very important that the
instrument should not share power lines with noise-generating parts such as heavy load switching
relays, motor control equipment, inductive loads, etc. If the condition of the mains power supply in the
plant is poor, install a special mains power line and grounding.
The power supply voltage of the instrument shall be between 12 VDC and 28 VDC. The connection of
power supply to the 24 VDC power supply connector located right - bottom of the instrument is shown
below. Be sure, the power supply is switched of before connection.
Load cell Grounding and protection Power Supply Connection
Warning: Before modifying the instrument, turn the power off and wait at least for 30 seconds.
Warning: Connect the power supply grounding pin to the reference ground.
NOTE: The power connector ground , case, Excitation -ve, RS232 GND, RS485 are all
connected at the same grounding potential. Electrical noise on any of these connections could degrade
weighing performance.
5.5 ENERGISING THE INSTRUMENT

Check the mechanical installation, grounding, load cell connection and power supply connection to be
sure correct electrical installation has been completed before energising the instrument. If all previous
steps have been completed properly, energise the instrument.
5.6 CONFIGURING AND CALIBRATION

Before using the scale it must be configured (programmed) to display the correct capacity and
increment and have a number of advanced functions configured in 7 SYSTEM CONFIGURATION
AND SETUP. The scale must also be calibrated to display the weight correctly as detailed in 7.5 [3__]
– CALIBRATION PARAMETERS.
Warning: If the scale has been sealed, call a person with authorisation before modifying the scale or
settings.
To access configuration and calibration settings there is a DIP switch, front of the PT210DIN, rear on
the other PT210, between the load cell connector and the non-isolated output connector. On the
PT210DIN set it to 1, on the other PT210 it is set deep inside the casing and should be set to position 2
(ON is downward) to change the metrological related parameters including calibration. THE HOUSING
DOES NOT NEED TO BE OPENED.
Location of configuration DIP switch - PT210DIN Location of configuration DIP switch
Note: Configuration and Calibration can be performed from a PC as described in API 17.596 AzComI
Software for Azure Indicators. This API is supplied on the USB with the instrument.
5.6.1 PROGRAMMING
Program the instrument according to the needs of your application in this step.
• Set interface parameters in block [00-] ( 7.2.1 ), RS232 and RS485 serial ports in [01-] ( 7.2.2 ).
• Set configuration parameters in block [1--] ( 7.3 ) for scale functions related with the application
like saving tare before power off and restart in Net mode and digital I/O related entries.
• Parameters to set up the scale such as zeroing range are in block [2--] ( 7.4 ). Please
remember these parameter values are restricted for scale usage in trade. The scale capacity
and division values are also entered in this block.
• If you will be connecting any peripheral devices to the instrument, you have to set the related
parameters in the PT210. Refer to ( 7.3.3 ) for digital input/output, ( 7.6 ) for analogue output
programming and ( 7.2 ) for fieldbus interfacing.
Warning: The programming and parameter descriptions are referred later. We recommend you save
these parameters before the next step in case the settings are lost if calibration fails due to an error.
5.6.2 CALIBRATION
You will need to calibrate the scale after programming the parameters. You may follow one the
calibration methods below.
• vCal Electronic calibration without calibration weights. This can be from the key pad or via
AzCom or fieldbus (including RS-232C ()).
• Full calibration via keys on the instrument by using calibration weights. ( 7.5.1 ).
• Zero adjustment and span adjustment in sequence via keys or fieldbus. Span calibration
requires a calibration weight unless performed with vCal. You may save just the zero calibration
if required without continuing to span adjustment.( 7.5.2.1 ).
• Zero adjustment and span adjustment under load, performed in sequence via keys, if the scale
cannot be emptied when span adjustment is required. Calibration weights are required for span
calibration. ( 7.5.2.3 ).
You can access the calibration menu from the operation menu by following the description in the “Fast
access to calibration” section ( 7.1 ). After calibration and after saving the adjustment return to the
operating menu ( 7.1 )
Remember: You may use parameter [905] 7.9.1.6 to monitor the load cell output voltage during
loading for diagnostic purposes if you can not perform the calibration due to errors.
5.6.3 LOCKING CALIBRATION

If the DIP switch has been set to the position (ON) for programming, push it to the other position to lock
the scale adjustment against access by non-authorised persons. If the scale is used in non-trade
industrial weighing, this step is not essential, but is recommended to prevent accidental changes.
5.7 CHECKING SCALE PERFORMANCE

Warning:
• Scale set-up and calibration should be performed according to the needs of your application.
Please read this document carefully and select the parameter values which will fit your
application before programming the instrument.
• You cannot change Set-up parameter values and calibration after sealing the instrument in
legal usage, be sure the proper adjustments have been done before sealing the scale.
Check the scale performance by testing the scale eccentricity, scale linearity with loading up to the
maximum loading value, repeatability, etc. before putting the scale into use.

Once you have familiarised yourself with the keypad and display you will find operation and set up quite
straight forward.
6.1 KEYPAD AND DISPLAY

This small indicator has a clear LED display and positive action keys for easy operation. The weight
display is displayed with up to 6 digits 13.5mm in height. There are LED annunciators to indicate
Net/Gross Zero, Motion and Units
Keys and their functions for the PT210 weighing indicators are below. These also apply to the
PT210DIN.
Function key: Press to activate the assigned function. The key function is programmable for
Increased resolution indication, Total, Tare value indication, CN value indication, Peak function
and Hold function with parameter [116] 7.3.1.4 .
During configuration this key exits the current block and confirms exit without saving.
G/N, Setpoint key: Pressing this key temporarily shows the Gross weight. A long press of this
key enters the set point menu.
During configuration this key moves to the next parameter menu item.
Tare / Clear key: Press this key to tare the scale and deduct the weight of the container placed
on the platform so as to see the net weight value of the material subsequently added into or
taken out of the container. A long press of this key clears the tare setting.
During configuration this key moves to the next digit to change, shown blinking.
Zero key: This key adjusts the scale zero when in Gross mode. If there is any residual weight or
drift. Zeroing should be done without any load on the platform.
During configuration this key changes the parameter selection or flashing digit to be changed.
Print key: By pressing this key weight data and other information (depending on the setup
parameters) can be sent to a printer or a PC via serial port.
During configuration this key acts as an enter key to accept a selection and advance.
The PT210 has the ability to lock the keys to avoid access by unauthorised persons. The key(s) which
would be locked are programmed with parameter [115] 7.3.1.3 .
You can activate or deactivate this function by a long press of the <F> key, press the <TARE> key and
<PRINT> keys sequentially. The prompt [Lock] appears for a short while to indicate the pressed key is
locked.
An explanation of the annunciators seen on the display is below.

6.2 BASIC WEIGHING

After the power is energised the indicator activates the display within few seconds then the indicator
firmware name and version are displayed before display testing. After the start up cycle, the weight
value is displayed. An [E E E] prompt at power on indicates the zeroing range at power on has been
exceeded or the scale was not unloaded at power on. Possibly the indicator parameters have also not
been configured. The scale should be unloaded before power on ( 8 TROUBLE SHOOTING).
Place the object you want to weigh on the scale. The correct weight of the object is shown on the
display after the ~ symbol has gone out.
If the load on the scale is out of the calibrated range (too low or too high) the display will show as below.
Too low. Too high.
6.2.1 Zeroing
Zeroing is performed to compensate for deviations from zero of the unloaded scale. Sometimes there
can be some small build up of material or drifting out of the automatic zero band.
• Clean the unloaded platform and check if there is anything touching the platform.
• Press the [ZERO] key to compensate for the zero deviation. Zeroing can be performed if the
scale is stable and within the zero setting range.
• The >0< sign appears to indicate that zeroing is complete and the scale is at center of zero.
• If zeroing is has not succeeded, wait for the ~ sign disappear and press the [ZERO] key again.
6.2.1.1 Zero at Power On
The zero point can be corrected automatically at power on to compensate for zero drifts of the scale if
the scale is always powered on when unloaded. This feature should be disabled for tank, silo, hopper
scales etc.
Power on zero has a limited range and the instrument shows the [ E E E ] error prompt in the case of
out of range. Press the <F> key to read the residual drift and to start weight indication without zeroing
and call service.
Warning: Automatic zeroing at power on can be enabled only if the scale is always unloaded before
power on. This function should be disabled for tank / silo weighing applications or you will no longer
know the content weight.
6.2.1.2 Automatic Zero Tracking (AZT)
The zero point is corrected automatically for minor deviations if the change is within the range limited by
the zeroing range value. Disable this correction for applications like tank weighing, batching, filling etc.
to prevent incorrect zeroing during feeding. Refer to Automatic Zero Tracking parameter [204]. 7.4.1.5
The Automatic zero point correction range is limited together with zeroing range above in the parameter
[203] 7.4.1.4 .
6.2.2 Taring
Taring is performed to deduct the initial weight of a container and its contents and to just display the net
weight added into the container or unloaded from the container. The PT210 is programmable for 3
types of tare function: Single tare, Multi-tare, Tare/Clear, see ( 7.3.1.2 , 7.4.1.6 ).
Warning: The tare value cannot exceed the maximum scale capacity. The maximum amount that can
be weighed in NET mode is the difference between the tare weight and the maximum scale capacity.
Capacity in Net = Maximum scale capacity – Tare weight.
6.2.2.1 Multi-taring
• Place the container on the platform and press the [TARE] key.
• The display value is zeroed and the NET (net weight) symbol appears.
• Place the material in to the container and read the net weight of the material you added.
◦ Alternatively you can press [TARE] above after placing a container of material on to the
scale. You can remove material from the container and the scale shows how much material
has been taken out.
• The tare value is used until either a new tare is set by pressing the [TARE] key or it is cleared
after unloading the scale or zeroing the scale.
6.2.2.2 Tare/Clear
• Place the container on the platform and press the [TARE] key.
• The display is zeroed and the NET (net weight) symbol appears.
• Place the material into the container (or remove it as explained above) and read the net weight.
• A long press of the [TARE] key will clear the tare. Or press the [ZERO] key after unloading the
scale.
6.2.3 Gross/Net Function

You can use the Gross/Net function at any time to temporarily switch the display between the net and
gross weight with the [G/N] key. After the [G/N] key is pressed, the display shows the gross weight for
a few seconds and then automatically goes back to the net weight indication.
6.2.4 Printing
You can connect your indicator to a printer as indicated in Illustration 1:2 wire Connection with a printer
and then set serial data output related parameters and printer parameters ([040] 7.2.4.1 to select the
printout ticket format from the table below. Press the [PRINT] key to print the ticket after loading when
the indication is stable. As you see in this table, the printouts contain different data depending on the
operating mode as configured in 7.2.4.1 .

configuration ( 7.1 ) and use the <G/N> and <TARE> keys to access parameter block [120] ( 7.3.2.1 ).
The filter value can be selected from a number n = 0 to 9 (7 is a good starting point in normal weighing
applications). As you enter this parameter and press the <PRINT> key while [120 n] is seen on the
display, the weight and filtering action can be seen on the display. The value of the filter can be
changed by using <G/N> key and the weight variation for each filter value can be seen on the display.
After finishing the filter selection you can go to next step by pressing the <f> key.
6.3.3 Tare Operation

The PT210 can have the tare function programmed to operate in 4 different modes with the tare key.
Enter configuration ( 7.1 ) and use the <G/N> and <TARE> keys to access parameter blocks to make
the settings below.
[112] ( 7.3.1.1 ) Tare Saved
0 = tare value is not saved 1 = tare value is saved on power off
[113] ( 7.3.2.1 ) Auto Tare Clear
0 = tare value is not cleared 1 = tare value is cleared after unloading**
**Note: This implies a change back to Gross mode.
Tare mode [205] ( 7.4.1.6 ) requires metrological access.
6.3.3.1 Automatic Tare clear
The tare is automatically cleared after emptying the scale, if this feature is enabled. Refer to parameter
[ 113 ] 7.3.1.2 .
6.3.3.2 Restore Tare at Power on
This function saves the tare at power off and the instrument will start to operate in Net mode when
powered on with the same tare weight in use at power off. This feature should be enabled, if taring is
used for tank weighing applications. Refer to parameter [112] 7.3.1.1 .
6.3.4 Force Measurement

The instrument should be set to force mode for bidirectional force measurement from -Maximum to
+Maximum (as set in capacity). The force unit N or kN can be displayed. The PT210 is a very fast force
measurement instrument with its high conversion rate, up to 1600 conversions/s. Refer to parameter
[ 210 ] 7.4.2.1 .
6.3.5 High Resolution

The < F > key can be programmed for high resolution (the default), the weight value is displayed with
10 times higher resolution temporarily for 5 seconds. This is usefull for checking calibration and load
cell corner adjustments.
6.3.6 Total Accumulation

If the < F > key is programmed for totalising, the printed weights are accumulated and displayed by
pressing the < F > key. Press the < Print > key to print the total or press the < Zero > key to erase the
total, while the total is displaying.
6.3.7 Setpoints
The PT210 can be set to various basic setpoint functions like absolute, numerical or control outputs.
Refer to 5.11 , 6.2.2.1 and 7.3.3.1 for details. Besides these basic functions you may set digital
outputs so they can easily be used for various applications. This feature of the instrument eliminates the
need for a PLC in control cabinets. Below you will find some examples of the PT210 advanced setpoint
functions. Setpoints are set with a long press of the SP(G/N) key. See 6.1 KEYPAD AND DISPLAY.
Basic setpoints. Below are examples of what could be considered basic setpoint functionality.
Setpoint of absolute indicated weight.
The absolute indicated weight value is compared with the setpoint

entry and the output state is activated if the absolute weight is
higher than the setpoint value. As an example, setpoint 1 is 100 kg
in the drawing on the right. This applied to the indicated weight,
whether net or gross.
Refer to parameter [ 130 ]=1,2,3,4 7.3.3.1

Setpoints of gross weight.
The output state is activated when the gross loading exceeds the
setpoint value. This feature can be used to produce alarm signal
for empty or for overloaded or full scales, tanks etc. As an
example, setpoint 1 is 100 kg in the drawing on the right.
Refer to parameter [ 130 ] 7.3.3.1

Setpoints of real indicated weight.
The + or - sign of the setpoint can be entered. The output signal is

produced if ;
Positive setpoint : The output is activated if the weight is heavier
than the setpoint. Refer to setpoint 1 in the drawing.
Negative setpoint : The output is activated if the negative net
weight is less than the setpoint. Refer to setpoint 2 in the drawing.
As an example, setpoint 1 is 100 kg and setpoint 2 is -200 kg in
the drawing on the right.
To enter the negative or positive value, use a long press of the

<Tare> key while the set point value is seen on the display.
Functional setpoint mode enables the PT210 to simulate various control modes such as filling or
checkweighing.

6.3.8.3 Continuous Data Formats
Continuous data output from the instrument is transmitted in the following data structures. There are 2
options for continuous output. Continuous output and fast continuous output.
Note: CR (Carriage return) and LF (Line feed) codes can be enabled or disabled from the response in
interface port settings [00-], 7.2.1 [01-] 7.2.2 but they must be sent to the PT210 at the end of ASCII
commands.
Continuous Data Format

Continuous data output of the PT210 is transmitted in the following data structure. The serial ports of
the PT210 are suitable for bi-directional communication. If, you transmit ASCII codes for the P(print),
Z(zero), T(tare) or C(clear) letters to the serial port of the PT210 the indicator will act as if the related
keys had been pressed.
CHK (Checksum) can be enabled or disabled from both command and response and only continuous
data output can be programmed for more than one interface.

Note: The weight data is represented right aligned and the following error messages (UNDER, OVER,
L-VOLT, H-VOLT and A.OUT) are represented left aligned in the Displayed Weight field.
Fast Continuous Data Format

Fast continuous “indicated weight” data output can be used only for receiving instruments that can
communicate fast. There is no flow control if the device cannot keep up with the data flow. The output
rate is related to the baud rate. Use higher baud rate for faster data rate. If ASCII codes are received by
the PT210 for the P(print), Z(zero), T(tare) or C(clear) letters, the indicator will act as if the related keys
had been pressed. CR and LF can be enabled in the related parameters.
The data format of the fast continuous data output is;
[STX][STATUS][SIGN][DISPLAYED WEIGHT VALUE][CR][LF]
Examples :
S+000123.4 (weight is stable and 123.4)
D+000123.4 (weight is dynamic and 123.4)
+ (Over load)
- (Under load)
O (ADC out error)
.
6.3.8.4 BSI Communication
BSI Communication provides conversational access over a Bidirectional Serial Interface. All PT Azure
series products support this convenient communications protocol. It is supported on RS-232C, RS-485
and Ethernet (PT210EN) interfaces.
The BSI data format gives reliable and fast interface advantages for communicating with PLCs or PCs
for process control or transactional applications. This interfacing is recommended especially for PC
interfacing as you can expand your system with additional scales from PT without having to change
your application program base.
The protocol is very simple to use, a command is sent to the PT210 and a response is transmitted
back.
Warning: Only one interface can have BSI enabled at one time. No check sum [CHK] is used over
Ethernet.
General Rules:
1. Commands are only in CAPITAL.

2. CHK (2 ASCII char) can be enabled or disabled from both command and response.
3. Weight data is 8-byte with dot and non-significant zeros on the left.
4. The device address (2 ASCII char) will not be located in the structure when set to 00.
Command format:
A general description of the command is as follows:

Programming steps for frequently used communication ……
Reading a weight value:

1. Read 40003,
2. Check D0=0 and D1=1,
3. If yes, read a weight value (gross, net or tare),
4. If D0=1, check D0 until system ready,
5. If D1=0, check the error code.
Zero Calibration procedure:

1. Check the low byte of 40033. It should be decimal '1' before starting adjustment.
2. Load the decimal '188' to 40030 to start Zero calibration.
3. Check the low byte of 40033. During the zero calibration process it is decimal '3'.
4. The low byte of 40033 changes to decimal '1' at the end of Zero calibration.
5. If the low byte of 40033 is '9', check the high byte of 40033 to determine the calibration error.
Span Calibration procedure:

1. Check the low byte of 40033. It should be decimal '1' before starting adjustment.
2. First load the span value to 40031-32 and then load the decimal '220' to 40030 to start Span
calibration.
3. Check the low byte of 40033. During the span calibration process it is decimal '4'.
4. The low byte of 40033 changes to decimal '1' at the end of Span calibration.
5. If the low byte of 40033 is '9', check the high byte of 40033 to determine the calibration error.

7.5.1 [30_] – Calibration

These parameters require the settings DIP switch to be ON. The capacity and resolution are set here.
7.5.1.1 [300] – Gravity

This parameter should only be used in a scale that will be verified in two stages in different locations by
gravity adjustment (in legal Metrology applications). This parameter should not be touched in other
applications.
The value is the six decimal digits past the decimal point in the acceleration due to gravity value (enter
798564 for 9.798564). If you enter a value in this parameter before calibration, this value will be
assumed as the reference gravity acceleration where the first stage of the calibration performed. After
first calibration this parameter will be zeroed. If the value of this parameter is zero, that means no
gravity adjustment has been performed after calibration.
In the second stage of verification, the gravity acceleration of the place that the weighing instrument will
be used should be entered (as six decimal digits, enter 800065 for 9.800065) and exit programming by
saving the changes without entering the calibration [301].
7.5.1.2 [301] – Calibration
Calibration involves emptying the scale then placing a known calibration weight on an empty platform
and allowing the PT210 indicator to capture values for zero and span. Here calibration weight could
mean a force or pressure of known value. The scale reading must be stable for zero or span calibration
to succeed. If there is vibration or noise, adjust the filter or motion detection to obtain a stable reading
and adjust back to previous values after calibration.
1. Press <PRINT> at the [301] prompt to start the calibration.

2. At the [ZEro.CA] prompt, remove any weight on the platform, then press <PRINT>.
3. The PT210 automatically starts to capture zero and the [WAıt] message displays indicating the
operation is in progress.
4. After the [Load] prompt appears, set the value of the weight used for calibration of the scale,
(seen on the display as [XXXXXX]). If the value of the calibration weight that will be used is
different from the value shown on the display, set the new value with the <TARE> and <ZERO>
keys.
A minimum of 20% of scale capacity is necessary for calibration; PT recommends 50 to 100%.
A calibration error will result if insufficient weight is used.
5. Place the calibration weight on the scale. The weight needs to be a known weight and can be a
load calibrated from another scale.

the scale performance. Three step scale calibration in this parameter improves scale performance.
1. Press <PRINT> at the [302] prompt to start the calibration.

4. After the [Load 1] prompt appears, set the value of the weight used for the first step of
calibration of the scale, (seen on the display as [XXXXXX]). If the value of the calibration
weight that will be used is different from the value shown on the display, set the new value with
the <TARE> and <ZERO> keys.
PT recommends 35 to 65% of the scale capacity.
7. After the [Load 2] prompt appears, set the value of the weight used for the second step of
calibration of the scale, (seen on the display as [XXXXXX]). If the value of the calibration
weight that will be used is different from the value shown on the display, set the new value with
the <TARE> and <ZERO> keys.
PT recommends 90 to 100% of the scale capacity.
7.5.2 [31_] – Adjustment

These parameters require the settings DIP switch to be ON. The zero and span can independently be
adjusted here.
7.5.2.1 [310] – Zero Adjustment

starting.
1. Press <PRINT> at the [311] prompt to start the span adjustment.

2. Set the value of the weight used for calibration of the scale, (seen on the display as
[XXXXXX]). If the value of the calibration weight that will be used is different from the value
shown on the display, set the new value with the <TARE> and <ZERO> keys.
A minimum of 20% of scale capacity is necessary for calibration; PT recommends 50 to 100%.
7.5.2.3 [312] – Span Adjustment Loaded
This parameter is used to perform span adjustment of a scale without needing to empty or remove the
load on it. This operation is especially useful for span adjustment for filled tanks or silos.
Note: You can complete span adjustment without emptying the tank.
Note: The calibration load + the load already on the scale should not exceed the scale capacity.
1. Press <PRINT> at the [312] prompt to start span adjustment under load.
2. The [ P.ZEro] prompt appears on the display to indicate the current scale load will be
determined to be a temporary zero.

different from the value shown on the display, set the new value with the <TARE> and <ZERO>
keys.
A minimum of 20% of scale capacity is necessary for calibration; PT recommends 50% or
more.
7.5.2.4 [313] – vCal
VCal has some limitations but is a very good way to get a weighing system up and running that can
later be fine tuned with zero and span adjustments above or by adjusting the vCal input parameters.
Warning: The scale capacity and division [212] ( 7.4.2.2 ) must be entered before performing vCal.
Warning: vCal is theoretical calibration by calculation without taking into account external influences.
Corner adjustments, as in a summing box, will make the calibration incorrect. Lengthening or
shortening load cell 4 wire cable connections, variations in gravitational accelleration (g), mechanical
influences and structure geometry variances can all reduce the accuracy of vCal.
This parameter lets you to perform calibration without using any calibration weights. The PT210
coefficients are adjusted in production to increase vCal accuracy, but calibration with a known
calibration load is still the most accurate form of calibration. The calibration coefficients are calculated
from scale capacity, total load cell capacity, load cell full scale output, and estimated dead load.
Note: For better accuracy and if the conditions permit, you may perform automatic zero adjustment
instead of entering estimated preload for a more accurate zero.
1. Press the <TARE> key at the [313] prompt to start vCal.

2. After the [LC.CAP] prompt appears, set the value of the total load cell capacity, (seen on the
display as [XXXXXX]). If the value of the capacity is different from the value shown on the
display, set the new value with the <TARE> and <ZERO> keys.
Warning: Enter the load cell capacity using the same units set in calibration [214] 7.4.2.3 .
Note: Total load cell capacity is the load cell capacity times the number of load cells for a full
load cell system. Where load cells are not installed on all legs of a vessel (hinges are used)
total load cell capacity is the capacity of one load cell X the number of support points.
Example: If the weighing system has 4 pcs. 1000kg load cell, enter 4000.
3. Press the <PRINT> key to go to the next step.
4. After the [LC.oUt] prompt appears, set the value of the average load cell signal output (mV/V)
at it's capacity, (seen on the display as [XXXXXX]). If the value of the output is different from
the value shown on the display, set the new value with the <TARE> and <ZERO> keys.
Note: The load cell output (sensitivity) can be found on the load cell certificates.
Example: If load cell outputs are LC1: 2.0010, LC2: 1.9998, LC3:1.9986 and LC4:2.0002, the
average value will be Mean of LC outputs = (2.0010 + 1.9998 + 1.9986 + 2.0002) ÷ 4 = 1.9999
mV/V
5. Press the <PRINT> key to go to the next step. The indicator shows [ZEr.AdJ].
6. If the scale is empty and you want to use automatic zero calibration instead of entering an
estimated dead load (see next step), press the <PRINT> key. When the prompt [ZEro.CA]
appears ensure the scale is empty and stable and press the <PRINT> key to start zero
calibration, the [WAıt] message displays indicating the operation is in progress. If the prompt
[SAvE] shows, press the <PRINT> key. Not all software versions show the prompt.
7. If the scale is not empty or you prefer to enter an estimated preload value, press the <G/N>
key.
8. After the [PrE-Ld] prompt appears, set the value of the estimated dead load on the load cells,
(seen on the display as [XXXXXX]). If the value of the dead load is different from the value
shown on the display, set the new value with the <TARE> and <ZERO> keys. Press the
<PRINT> key to continue. If the prompt [SAvE] shows, press the <PRINT> key. Not all
software versions show the prompt. Press the <f> key to exit without saving.
Warning: vCal of the zero by entering the dead load (8 above) does not take into account the zero
offset of the load cells. It is possible to adjust the value entered at the [PrE-Ld] prompt to account for
this.
Note: If you want to make zero adjustments after entering an estimated preload value, empty the scale
and change the preload value to (previous estimated value + display value with empty scale) or enter
parameter [310] 7.5.2.1 for zero adjustment.

8.4 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Questions and Answers below may help if you get into difficulty. Notes in relation to a PC refer to a PC
running Microsoft Windows.
Question : My PC could not interface with the PT210. How can I check the COM port?
Answer : − Connect the instrument to the PC and run Hyper Terminal or alternate terminal program.
− Check COM ports as described in The Diagnostic Test section [90-] 7.9.1 .
− Short circuit your COM port RXD and TXD pins. Check if the sending of data is received
or not by using any terminal software. You can also test the PT210 COM ports as described
in The Diagnostic Tests section [90-] 7.9.1 by short circuiting RXD and TXD terminals.
− Connecting a multimeter on AC volt setting across TXD and GND will show activity if the
device or PC is transmitting.
Question : AzCom installation needs a restart every time. How can I install it?
Answer : − Read and follow the installation notes in the installation directory.
− Update your computer (visit http://update.microsoft.com).
Question : AzCom could not connect to the instrument. What can I do?
Answer : − Check the power, data cabling and LED status of the PT210 instrument.
− Check PC port settings.
− Remove other connections. Re-energize the PT210 instrument and then make
connection.
Question : My PC doesn’t have a COM port. How can I connect instrument to my PC?
Answer : − You can use an RS-232 / USB converter for serial interfacing via USB port, available from
PT, and select the COM port with in the Connection Settings menu.
Question : My PC has a COM port but I couldn’t see the COM port in the Connection Settings menu.
How can I solve that problem?
Answer : − Other software may already be connected to that COM port. Close all applications before
running AzCom.
Question : I need very fast interfacing. What is the response delay time of the PT210?
Answer : − The PT210 response delay is a maximum of 4 milliseconds for weight data. Extremely fast
interfacing.
Question : What is the external data update rate of PT210?
Answer : − Only continuous data output rate might be called external update rate, which depends on
the baud rate and data length but can be up to 65 readings per second.
Question : How can I check the Ethernet connection?
Answer : − The PT210EN can be pinged. Issue the command ping followed by the IP address of the
PT210EN from any computer on the network with the PT210EN. You should see a short
response time.
Question : EtherX is searching but it could not find any instrument over the Local Area Network.
Answer : − Check the Exceptions tab in Windows Firewall settings. EtherX should be marked.
− Check the firewall of any Anti-virus program to make sure it is not being blocked.
Question : I have made a crossover connection with the PT210EN but EtherX could not find it.
Answer : − Check the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties in Local Area Connection of Windows.
− IP address and gateway address blocks of the PT210EN and PC should be the same in a
cross over connection.

11 APPENDIX
This section contains information relevant to each specific model of PT210.
11.1 PT210AN/DIN - Analogue

The PT210AN and PT210DIN are programmable to one of 4 – 20mA, 0 – 20mA, 0 – 5V or 0 – 10V
analogue output modes.
The analogue output is automatically adjusted to the weighing range after calibration. The mid value of
the analogue output range is set to represent zero load if bipolar use is configured. Manual analogue
output adjustment is available in parameter group [4--] (see 7.6 ).
The analogue output is in proportion to the gross load on the scale. The analogue output signal
functions as described next.
When the gross indication drops below zero, the PT210AN reduces the
Under Zero
analogue output to 0mA or -4V to indicate the error.
The analogue output will reflect the gross value in the analogue output
Normal Range
as programmed (4 – 20mA, 0 – 20mA, 0 – 5V or 0 – 10V).
When the gross value exceeds the high limit, the analogue signal
increases to approximately 24mA or 11V and remains there until the
Over Range
weight display is no longer blanked or the analogue signal returns to
within range.
The following table indicates the analogue output value when the gross indication is out of the normal
range and when there is any error indication on the display. The error data indicated below can be used
to convey the errors to a connected PLC or computer.

11.2 PT210PB - Profibus

The PT210PB is equipped with a connector for Profibus DP-V1.
ROFIBUS Connector pin configuration (DB9F)

The Profibus baud rate of the PT210PB interface is detected automatically. Supported baud rates are
9.6 kbps, 19.2 kbps, 45.45 kbps, 93.75 kbps, 187.5 kbps, 500 kbps, 1.5 Mbps, 3 Mbps, 6 Mbps and 12
Mbps. No ‘baud rate’ setting exists, the data format is Profibus-DPV1.
After programming Profibus related parameters for the PT210PB indicator and disconnection with any
PC programming software such as AzCom, you can begin communication with the instrument. A
sample GSD file is available with the USB drive which is supplied together with the instrument.

1. Check the D12…D15 bits of ‘PT210PB Output to PLC Input 2nd Dword’. If there is no error, read
a weight value (gross, net or tare).

1. Check the low byte of Calibration Status. it should be decimal '1' to start adjustment.
2. Write ‘Adjust Zero Calibration’ command and apply New CMD to start Zero calibration.
3. Check the low byte of Calibration Status, it is decimal '3' during the zero calibration process.
4. The low byte of Calibration Status changes to decimal '1' at the end of the Zero calibration.
5. If the low byte of Calibration Status is '9', check the high byte of Calibration Status to
understand the calibration error.

2. Write ‘Adjust Span Calibration’ command after writing test weight values to 1st Dword, then
apply this command with New CMD to start Span calibration.
3. Check the low byte of Calibration Status, it is decimal '4' during the span calibration process.
