2. Installation and Commissioning
PRECAUTION: Please read this manual carefully before energizing the indicator and
perform the commissioning operation according the procedure given here. Use trained
personnel for cleaning, commissioning, checking and service of the indicator. The
interference of untrained personnel may cause some unwanted damages or injures.
You have to install the scale related parts of the scale first as described below and after
calibration of the scale , connect the required peripherals.
Note : From this point forward in this manual, the term “ Digital Load Cell “ will be refered
to as “ DLC “.

2.1 Mechanical Installation

First of all please determine the place where your indicator can operate safely. The place
where you will use/install your indicator should be clean, not getting direct sun light if
possible, with a temperature between -10ºC and +40ºC, humidity 85% non condensing at
most and the cables should be installed safely to avoid mechanical damages.
Take care to the housing dimensions and the suggested panel hole dimensions given in
the Chapter 3. To avoid electrical noises, protect your indicator which has very low input
signal level from the equipments that produces electrical noise in panel mounting.

2.2 Electrical Installation

There are two jumpers on BX 5D’s main board for calibration and for On/Off switch. To
change the position of these jumpers, open the housing and perform necessary changes
before energizing the indicator. J8 On/Off Switch
(Always short

The quality of instrument’s grounding will provide weighing accuracy and the safety of your
indicator and the platform used with it. A poor ground can result in an unsafe condition if
an electrical short develops in the equipment. A good ground connection is needed to
minimize extraneous electrical noise pulses. It is important that BX 1D does not share
power lines with noise-generating equipment such as heavy load switching, motor control
equipments and inductive loads etc.

If you have to service the indicator, turn the power of and wait at least 30 seconds before
interfering the instrument.

All connectors are at the rear side of the housings of desk and panel types. The stainless
steel housings must be opened to make required connections. These connections must be
done as described below.

2.3 DLC Connection

The load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing to avoid BX 5D and load
cells from damages. The instrument cable between the instrument and junction box must
be convenient for high speed RS485 interface and shielded.

2.5 Commissioning
After making the required installations and connections of BX 5D, turn the power on and
set the parameters up depend on your application. Then the weighing related adjustments
– load cell addressing, eccentricity adjustment and calibration- must be done in sequence
as described below.

Load cell addressing

Digital load cell related parameter 22- group is used for introducing and addressing the
DLC’s as described in page 36. Before addressing the load cell you have to enter the
load cell quantity of the platform to the parameter 221. The DLC quantity can be up to 16.
The second stage is DLC’s addressing. The following diagram shows the addressing
principles of the DLC’s of the vehicle scale. The numbers in the diagram shows the DLC
addressing principle for easy eccentricity adjustment.

Figure 2. The addressing principles of the DLC’s of the vehicle scale

For addressing any DLC, you have to enter the serial number of the DLC to the address
number in parameter 222 as described in the following paragraph. The serial number of
the DLC can be entered to the indicator up to 9 digit. The last 6 digit is entered after
entering the first 3 digit of the serial number. If the S/N is less than 9 digits, the unused
digits on the left must be entered as 0. For example, if the serial number is 1234567,
001234567 must be entered as a serial number.
Press the <Trans> key to enter the parameter 222 for DLC addressing. You will see [222
01]
and [ XXXXXX ] as toggle. Here 01 is the address of the DLC and XXXXXX is the last 6
digits of the DLC. For entering the serial number of the DLC to address 1, press the
<Trans> key, and enter the first 3 digits of the S/N. Press Enter key for last 6 digit of the
S/N. Use numerical keys for changing digits of the S/N. After entering of the S/N, press
the Enter key for the following DLC. After entering the last DLC serial number to the
indicator, the [20- ] is seen on the display. This means all load cells are addressed and
ready to work in the scale.
For changing any load cell, you have to readdress the new load cell in parameter 222.
After installing the new load cell, turn on the indicator, Enter parameter 222 and than reach
the load cell address you changed and enter the serial number of the new load cell as
described in the previous paragraph.

Eccentricity adjustment
The eccentricity adjustment must be done in parameter group 32- before calibration of the
scale.
This adjustment can be done for each load cell independently or for sectional pairs. To
apply this selection , enter the parameter 320 and set to 0 for independent DLC or set to
1 for sectional pair adjustment method. After selection of this adjustment procedure , the
adjustment must performed automatically as described in parameter 321.
After entering the parameter 321 by pressing the <Trans> key, you will see “Zero.CA” on
the display. Unload the scale and press the enter key. Do not interfere the scale during “
wait” message on the display. After this step, BX 5D will display [ 321 01] on the display.
Place the weight of at least 10% of the DLC capacity as close as possible to the
independent load cell or sectional pair 01. Than press the enter key. After some period [
321 02] appears on the display. Apply
the same load on to the other places in sequence. At the end of the adjustment , the
message [ 322 ] will seen on the display. This means the eccentricity error correction is
done automatically.

If need be, you can improve the eccentricity error manually in parameter 322 by changing
the error correction coefficient of the each load cell or sectional pair.

5
Calibration
After eccentricity adjustment, the calibration is performed. The calibration is done in
parameter group 3-- and described on pages 36 - 37 in detail. The calibration process
should be performed with test weights, at least 10% of the scale capacity.

After checking the performance of your weighing instrument you can begin to use the
indicator. If there are peripheral connections, first you should turn the power off; make the
peripheral connections, perform the required safety checks and energize the indicator.
Then set the related parameters and check if the peripheral devices are operating
properly.

5. Vehicle Weighing
BX 5D indicator can be used in various type of truck weighing which are First & Second
weighing, weighing with preset vehicle weight and transit weighing.

If any of truck weighing process is not in operation, indicator waits in ready status by
lightening Ready LED on the left top of the display. One of the operation key is pressed to
start any weighing cycles. The weighing tickets are produced after weighing cycles
automatically, if any.

At ready status, if ASCII P is received to the port which is programmed for PC software
interface or Ticket printing, or if Print command is received at PC software interface
mode, the indicator transmits the weight data via this port. This feature gives flexible
usage advantage to the user for usage with PC software in normal ; but directly printing
ticket via BX 5D when PC is out of order. The weighing data in BX 5D might be
transferred to PC after functioning PC.

Warning: In weighbridge operation, the operator attention and concentration is very

important for the correct data entry. If operator entries the wrong data, it is not possible to
cancel the operation after printing the ticket or to change the records in the memory.

5.1. First & Second Weighing

This is the most common truck weighing operation; the truck is weighed two times and the
ticket is printed with the difference as a net weight after the second weighing.

First weighing:

This first weighing data is stored in to the temporarily first weighing memory and produces
the inbound weighing ticket for the outbound operation.

Second weighing:

This second weighing data is combined together with the first weighing data and produces
weighing ticket. After second weighing, the related temporarily first weighing memory can
not be used again and truck weighing data is stored.

The First and Second weighing cycles are described on the following pages;
