Mettler Toledo IND570 Manual De Instalación página 53

The IND570 terminal is designed to power up to twelve 350-ohm load cells (or a minimum
resistance of approximately 29 ohms). To confirm that the load cell load for this installation is
within limits, the total scale resistance (TSR) must be calculated. To calculate TSR:
Ensure that the TSR of the load cell network to be connected to the IND570 has a resistance greater
than 29 ohms before connecting the load cells. If the resistance is less than 29 ohms, the IND570
will not operate properly.
In addition, the maximum cable distance must be reviewed. Table 2-3 provides recommended
maximum cable lengths based on TSR and cable gauge.
A jumper is provided that adjusts the gain of the analog section for 2 mV/V or 3 mV/V load cells.
The factory default position of this jumper is 3 mV/V. Normally this position will work well for both 2
mV/V and 3 mV/V load cells. If 2 mV/V load cells are used, the jumper can be changed to the 2
mV/V position. Refer to Figure 2-121 for the jumper position.
Figure 2-31 shows the terminal definitions on the analog load cell terminal strip. Note that when
using four-wire load cells, jumpers must be placed between the +Excitation and +Sense terminals
and between the −Excitation and −Sense terminals.
