The electrical connection of the inputs and outputs should be made as shown in the Figure 4.3
The power for the digital I/O has to be supplied from an external power supply module.
Ground (Pin no. 2) and +24 V (Pin no. 1) must both be wired accordingly.

Additional Digital I/O Board
Depending on the housing type an additional digital I/O board can be added to FT-13. The additional inputs and
outputs are not used in the standard filling programmes, but can be used depending on the customized
application programming (requires special development order from the customer and customized firmware
programming in the factory).
The pin numbers are the same as the first 4 input / 8 output connector located on the instrument, but the
meanings depend on the application software downloaded to the instrument.
4.3 Commissioning
After making the required installations and connections to your indicator, turn the power on and perform
following steps:
Get familiar with the instrument‟s setup mode (see chapter 6.1)
Define the configuration parameters (see chapter 6.3)*
Define the scale parameters (see chapter 6.4)
Calibrate the scale (see chapter 6.5)
* Note: Most of the parameters can be skipped for later setup. Please take care for the parameters which may
be locked by the J2 calibration jumper in legal for trade applications (see Appendix 1: Setup and Calibration
Menu of the instrument).
After checking the performance of your weighing instrument you can begin to use the indicator.
If there are peripheral connections, first you should turn the power off; make the peripheral connections,
perform the required safety checks and energize the indicator. Then set the related parameters and check if the
peripheral devices are operating properly.
If required perform following additional steps:
Set up the filling programme (see chapter 7)
Set up the serial interfaces (see chapter 8)
Set up other communication interfaces (see chapter 8)
