 225-DS 

INTRODUCTION

 

Thank you for purchasing the Cardinal 225-DS Dual Scale Input Card.  This option card for the 
Cardinal 225 Weight Indicating Instrument was built with quality and reliability and has been 
designed to meet the requirements of simultaneous weight data display from a total of two or 
three scales to a single 225.   
 
Analog and programmable digital filtering is used for stable weight readings.  The customer 
can easily configure the 225 for two or three scales, with or without totalizing, with the use of 
the 225-DS without the need for complicated programming devices.  
 
The 225-DS card resides in the 225 main enclosure and has a 16 pin dual in-line Internal Bus 
connector to provide an easy connection to the 225 internal hardware.  The 225-DS card has 
two 7 position spring cage clamp connectors for connecting to strain gage transducers. 
 
The purpose of this manual is to guide you through the installation and setup of the 225-DS 
Dual Scale Input Card (if the 225 indicator was not purchased with the option installed).  
Please read it thoroughly before attempting to install it in your indicator and keep it handy for 
future reference.
