1Introduction

The all-in-one Digital Amplifier DAD 143.x is a universal device for any weighing, filling or dosing operations

and for force measurements with strain gage sensors. The DAD143 is designed for DIN (TS35) rail mount.

To grant the quality and allow legal weighing, the DAD143.x is OIML R76 approved (pending).

The DAD 143.x supports a number of industrial Ethernet based protocols for industrial weighing, control and

- -

Ethernet

for direct control of valves or bars etc.

The device can be controlled either by the front keys, via service port RS232 or 2 Ethernet based ports. The 2

logic inputs and 3 logic outputs make complex control functions easy. The 3 logic outputs can be controlled

external, too.

1.2 Safety Instructions

CAUTION: READ this manual BEFORE operating or servicing this equipment. FOLLOW

these instructions carefully. SAVE this manual for future reference. DO NOT allow

untrained personnel to operate, clean, inspect, maintain, service, or tamper with this

equipment. ALWAYS DISCONNECT this equipment from the power source before

cleaning or performing maintenance.

CALL Flintec for parts, information, and service.

WARNING: Only permit qualified personnel to service this equipment. Exercise care when

making checks, tests and adjustments that must be made with power on. Failing to

observe these precautions can result in bodily harm.

WARNING: For continued protection against shock hazard connect to properly grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the ground prong.

WARNING: Disconnect all power to this unit before removing the fuse or servicing.

WARNING: Before connecting/disconnecting any internal electronic components or

interconnecting wiring between electronic equipment always remove power and wait at

least thirty (30) seconds before any connections or disconnections are made. Failure to

observe these precautions could result in damage to or destruction of the equipment or

bodily harm.

CAUTION: Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

3.1 Housing & Terminals

3.2 Terminals Load Cell Connection

Colour code of e.g. standard load cells

3.3 Load Cell Connection

The load cell wiring should be made carefully before energizing to avoid damages to the amplifier and the

load cells. The input resistance of the load cells that you want to connect should be 50 Ω(ohms).

In case of using a load cell / scale with 4 wire cable, you have to short-circuit (bridge) the pins 1 & 2 and 6 & 7.

Remark:

-wire cable of a load cell, as the cable is part of the factory calibration

(signal & temperature compensation).
