9.2.4 Parameter Group 04 - Feeder Rated Data
This parameter group is used to specify the rating of the components in the weighing system.
P 04.01 LC Charac. Value Default: 3.0000 mV/V
Min: 0.0100 mV/V Max: 10.0000 mV/V
This parameter specifies the Load cell rated output. Both load cells must have the same output
value. Stock feeders normally use 3.000 mV/V load cells.
This parameter is normally set to 3.000 mV/V
P 04.02 LC Rated Cap. Default: 100.000 lb
Min: 0.500 lb Max: 220,000,000.000 lb
This parameter specifies the rated capacity of each load cell. Both load cells must have the same
capacity. Stock feeders normally use 100.0 Lbs load cells but smaller load cells may be used for low
capacity feeders or feeders with a short weigh span.
This parameter is normally set to 100.0 Lbs. Check the project manual or certified drawings to insure
that the proper value is selected.
P 04.03 Effective Platform Length Default: 18 inch
Min: 0.100 inch Max: 50.000 inch
This parameter specifies the length of belt that is supported by the load cells. Stock feeders use a
three roller weighing system with one weighing roller, supported by the load cells, and two fixed weigh
span rollers. In this configuration, one half of the weight between the weigh span rollers is supported
by the load cells and this parameter must be set to one half of the distance between the weigh span
rollers.
This parameter must be set to ½ the value of 196NT Setup 10 Weigh Span Length, normally 18
inches on new feeder installations and 19.146 on mechanical feeder conversions.
P 04.04 Lever Ratio Default: 1.0000 (Hidden)
Min: 0.0100 Max: 2.0000
Normally Hidden – Must be set to 1.000
This parameter is used to specify the ratio of weigh on the load cell and total platform weigh on multi
weigh roller systems.
This parameter MUST be set to 1.000.
