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.
