overhead or buried cables, electric distribution panels, electric
motors, florescent and high intensity lighting which utilize
ballast assemblies, electric heating equipment, traffic light
wiring and power, and relay boxes.
• All scale components, including digital weight Instruments and
peripheral devices are not designed to operate on internal combustion engine
driven electric generators and other similar equipment.
Electric arc welding can severely damage scale components

such as digital weight Instruments, junction boxes, sectional
controllers, power supplies, and load cells.
NOTE: For additional information, please contact a Fairbanks Scales Service

Representative.
Summary:
All RS232 Serial Cable must be limited to fifty feet (50’).
All scale components must be located at least thirty-six inches (36”) away
from all high energy circuits and conductors.
No electric arc welding around any scale components.

Appendix I: Previous Instrument Models
A. OLDER VS. NEWER MODEL DIFFERENCES

• Current models use only stainless steel model. Older models also offered the
composite housing model
• Newer models have the new style of keypad with an ON/OFF switch.
• Original model units did not have an ON/OFF switch on the keypad, and were
AC only.
• New models are ordered with or without battery option. All models contain the
‘bAtt’ menu in their software.
I M P O R T A N T
New and old version parts are
NOT INTECHANGEABLE!
MODEL TYPES
• 15744 Composite Enclosure
• 15849 Stainless Steel Enclosure
• 21877 AC only, Composite Enclosure

Appendix IV: 4-20mA Option
The 4-20mA analog output drives chart recorders, logic controllers or computers.
─ The Indicator is a passive component. Power for the signal must come from
the customer's equipment, supplying a minimum of seven (7) to forty (40) volts
of power to the circuit.
─ Common voltages supplied are 12-24 VDC.
SPECIFICATIONS
Resolution 16 bit
Integral Linearity +/- .01
Full scale settling time 8 mSecs.
Output impedance 25 meg
Alarm current 3.5 to 24 mA (underload/overload conditions)
Offset @ 25 degrees C +/- .1% of full scale
Offset drift +/- 25 ppm of full scale per degree C
Total output error (20mA) @ 25 degrees C: +/- .2% of full scale
max.
Total output drift +/- 50 ppm of full scale per degree C max
For supplying signal levels other than 4 to 20mA, use the formula example shown
below.
Supply voltage = 12V
4mA x 500 ohms = 2V
20mA x 500 ohms = l0V
• The above example provides a 2-l0V analog, adjustable signal.

• The sense resistor or the power supply may be changed to accommodate
different levels.
• Do NOT exceed the power supplied by the customer's equipment.
• Leave a minimum of 10% margin.
─ The power supplied is at least 10% greater than the signal being sent at
maximum output.
04/13 93 Rev. 5 50523

Appendix III: 4-20mA Option
APPENDIX IV: 4-20MA OPTION, CONTINUED
C A U T I O N
The customer-supplied Power Supply for the 4-20mA loop must be
an isolated and dedicated power source.
DO NOT CONNECT the Negative (–) Terminal of the customer’s power

supply to the Instrument Case Ground!
This will cause CATASTROPHIC SCALE AND INSTRUMENT DAMAGE!
