Precautions
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician
or instrumentation engineer. See diagram for terminal designa-
tions and wiring examples. Consult factory for assistance.
WARNING! Avoid shock hazards! Turn signal input, output, and
power off before connecting or disconnecting wiring, or remov-
ing or installing module.
Précautions
ATTENTION! Tout le câblage doit être effectué par un élec-
tricien ou ingénieur en instrumentation qualifié. Voir le dia-
gramme pour désignations des bornes et des exemples de
câblage. Consulter l'usine pour assistance.
ATTENTION! Éviter les risques de choc! Fermez le signal
d'entrée, le signal de sortie et l'alimentation électrique avant
de connecter ou de déconnecter le câblage, ou de retirer ou
d'installer le module.
Internal Calibration Resistor
The APD 4059 CR has provisions for and internal shunt/calibra-
tion resistor. It can be ordered with the module or installed by
the user. The resistor value should match what is specified by
the transducer manufacturer.
The calibration resistor can be installed or changed in the field
if required by following the procedure below.
1. Remove all power from the APD 4059 CR, unplug all con-
nectors, and remove unit from DIN rail.
2. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver remove the front panel
as shown below.
3. Note the locations of the seven tabs attaching the side cover.
4. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver gently pry the tab ends
away from the housing. Start with the large tab at the rear
of the unit, and work towards the front while gently pulling
up on the side cover.
5. When all tabs are unlatched, remove the side cover.
6. To remove the calibration resistor (if one was installed), pull
it out of its holder. The calibration resistor should have the
leads cut and bent to fit the calibration resistor holder.
7. Align the side cover and snap into place making sure all
seven tabs are engaged. Snap front cover back into place.
Reinstall unit.

Range Selection
It is generally easier to select ranges before installing the mod-
ule on the DIN rail. The tables list available settings for excita-
tion voltages, ranges and offsets. Any custom range settings
will be listed on the module's serial number label
Use the rotary switches and a slide switches on the side of the
module to select input and output ranges for your application.
Switch A:
Excitation voltage
Switch B: Input range
Switch C: Input offset
Switch D: Output range
Switch E : Set to "V" for voltage output or
Set to "I" for current output
Determine how much output in millivolts the load cell will pro-
duce at full load. Multiply the manufacturer's mV/V sensitivity
specification by the applied excitation voltage.
For example, a load cell rated for 3 mV/V sensitivity using 10
VDC excitation will produce an output of 0 to 30 mV for load
variations from 0 to 100%.
3 mV/V sensitivity X 10 VDC excitation = 30 mV range
Switch A Excitation Voltage
Refer to the sensor manufacturer's
recommendations to determine what
excitation voltage to use.
Set Excitation rotary switch A to
desired excitation voltage.
After installation the Excitation fine
adjust potentiometer may be used to
precisely trim this voltage, if desired.
I/O Range Selection
Switches B, D, E
1. From the table at the bottom of the page, find the rotary
switch combination that matches your I/O ranges and set
rotary switches B and D.
2. For taring, deadweight, zero offset, or a bipolar sensor
refer to the "Offset Switch C" section below. Otherwise set
switch C to zero.
3. Set switch E to "V" for voltage output or "I" for current output.
4. For ranges that fall between the listed ranges use the next
highest setting and trim the output signal with the zero and
span potentiometers as described in the Calibration section.
Using Offset Switch C
Offset switch C allows canceling or taring of non-zero dead-
weights or other sensor offsets such as:
O
Compensate for tare weights or scale deadweight to get
zero output when a load is on the platform.
O
Compensate for low-output sensors (e.g., less than 1 mV/V)
that may have large zero offsets. Switch C can realign
the zero control so it has enough range to produce a zero
output.
O
Raising the offset to allow calibration of bipolar sensors
such as ±10 mV.
O
Lowering the offset to compensate for elevated input ranges
such as 10-20 mV.
1. Switch C does not interact with
any other switch and is the only
switch needed to correct zero
offsets. Its only purpose is to
adjust or cancel effects of the
low end of the input range not
corresponding nominally to 0 mV.
Setting this switch to “0” results
in no offset.
2. To RAISE the output zero, rotate
switch C from “1” thru “7”, until
the Zero control can be set for
your application.
3. To LOWER the output zero, rotate
switch C from “9” thru “F”, until
the Zero control can be set for
your application.
4. If switch positions are changed,
repeat the calibration procedure on the last page.
