Range Selection
Rotary switches and a slide switches on the side of the module are
used to select input and output ranges to match your application.
Switch A: Excitation voltage
Switch B: Input range
Switch C: Input offset (see table on next page)
Switch D: Output range
Switch E : Set to "V" for voltage output or
Set to "I" for current output
It is generally easier to select ranges before installing the module
on the DIN rail. The tables below list available settings, ranges,
and offsets. The module side label lists common ranges.
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
Excitation Voltage Setup
Refer to the sensor manufac-
turer's recommendations to
determine what excitation volt-
age 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 B, C, D, E
1. From the table below, find the rotary switch combination that
matches your I/O ranges and set rotary switches B, C, and D.
2. Set switch E to "V" for voltage output or "I" for current output.
3. 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 the desired
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. After all switches are set,
repeat the calibration proce-
dure.

Electrical Connections
Check white model/serial number label for module operating
voltage to make sure it matches available power.
WARNING! All wiring must be performed by a qualified electri-
cian or instrumentation engineer. See diagram at right for
terminal designations and wiring examples.
Avoid shock hazards! Turn signal input, output, and power off
before connecting or disconnecting wiring. Connect I/O wiring
before power wiring.
Module Power Terminals
When using DC power, either polarity is acceptable, but for
consistency with similar products, positive (+) can be wired to
terminal 13 and negative (–) can be wired to terminal 16.
Signal Input Terminals
Connect up to 4 strain gauges or load cells. See manufacturer’s
specifications for wiring designations and wire color-coding.
Polarity must be observed when connecting inputs.
CAUTION: Never short the excitation leads together. This will
cause internal damage to the module.
Some bridges may have one or two sense leads. See manu-
facturer’s specifications. Sense leads allow the DMD4059 to
compensate for leadwire resistance effects. Observe polarity
when connecting sense leads.
If no sense lead is used, jumper sense (+) terminal 6 and excita-
tion (+) 12.
Calibration should be done after all connections are made.
Signal Output Terminals
Polarity must be observed when connecting the signal output.
The DMD4059 output can be wired to provide either a sinking
or sourcing mA output. If your device accepts a current input,
determine if it provides power to the current loop or if it must be
powered by the DMD4059 module.
Use a multi-meter to check for voltage at your device’s input
terminals. Typical voltage may be 9-24 VDC. See the wiring
diagram for the appropriate connections.
