Step by Step Guide
The following checklist guides the user through the installation process. References
to related sections of the manual are provided to directly step to the parameters'
adjustment chapters.
2.5.1 Connections
• Connect the main controller and each of its external modules; set an identification
number for each module in use. Refer to the wiring diagram enclosed with this
manual to make the connections and to properly set the ID numbers.
LCT-1 scale’s load cell .................................................... ID #1
Relay panels.......................................................... ID #4 to 19
Bridge-A communication module ........................................ none
CDM-1 closed-loop control module (optional) .................... ID # 2-3
PSM-8 proximity switches module ........................... ID #20 to 44
• If a closed-loop feeding system is used, connect the CDM-1 module(s) along with
their inputs and outputs. Refer to the main controller’s wiring diagram.
Feeder motor
Proximity sensor
Safety limit switch
Toggle switch (This switch allows to manually stop the loop motor
without setting off an alarm).
• Connect up the desired devices to the relay panel(s). Refer to the relay panel’s
wiring diagram to connect the loads :
Bin auger (1-4)
Clock outputs (1-8)
Electric drops (1-96)
Fill auger motor (if used)
Flexible auger motors 1-2 (if used)
Mixer (if used)
Scale valve
• Connect the proximity switches to the PSM-8 modules (refer to the wiring diagram);
• Once all devices are properly connected, apply power to the whole system.
Worksheets are available at the end of this manual to write down the relays
and inputs’ assignment.
