RCM710 Digital indicator specification (Revised)

    Standard Features

  • The RCM710 setup functions and calibration sequences are programmed through the in-built keyboard and display. Setup and calibration may be disabled by an internal hardware jumper.
  • Displayed resolution: Up to 1 part in 10,000.
  • Automatic zero maintenance: Maintains a stable zero.
  • Push-button zero: Zeros the gross value to within plus/minus 2% of the capacity of the scale
  • Digital filter: Provides the ability to digitally compensate for extreme motion or vibration.
  • Automatic weight identification: Net, Gross and Zero indication is provided via the display.
  • Keyboard enterable Tare.

Specifications

Display:
6 digits or 5 digits with a leading minus sign. The display is a blue-green vacuum fluorescent type, with characters 13mm high.
Decimal point location:
Setup through the keyboard to display:
XXXXX0
XXXXXX
XXXXX.X
XXXX.XX
XXX.XXX
XX.XXXX
Increment size ('Count by'):
X1,X2,X5,X10,X20 or X50 (Maximum set by Full Scale Increments)
Full Scale Increments:
Choice of: 1000,2000,2500,3000,4000,5000,6000,8000 and 10000.
Zero Indication:
"Zero" indicator illuminates when scale is within +/-0.25 increment of gross zero.
Over capacity:
Display will blank if scale is over 2 increments above programmed scale capacity.
Under zero display:
Display will blank if scale is 2 increments under zero.
Initial/Span range:
Initial range is 0 to 20 millivolts; span range is 5 to 30 millivolts, both referenced to a 30 millivolt load cell output. The span range may be increased to 45 millivolts for use with 3mv/V load cells through an internal shorting jumper.
Sensitivity:
0.50 microvolts per increment minimum.
Resolution:
Up to 1 part in 10,000 displayed, Up to 1 part in 100,000 internal.
Load Cell Excitation:
Provided for up to six 350 ohm or eight 725 ohm load cells. Load cell excitation voltage is nominal 12.5 volts.
Stability:
[To be determined by NSC test]
Operating range:
[To be determined by NSC test]. Target: -10 to 40 degrees Celsius at 10 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Motion detection:
The Zero and Tare functions are inhibited while the weight display is changing.
Automatic zero maintenance:
Weight indication within +/- 0.1 increments of the centre of zero is compensated to zero. Total compensation range is 4% of full scale. Weight variations which occur at a rate of 0.1 increments per second or slower will be compensated.
Digital Filter:
Selectable (through the keyboard) to reduce the effects of vibration and extreme motion. 4 settings are available.
Display Verification:
Depressing the "test" button causes a test pattern to appear on the display, testing all segments, decimal points and arrows for correct operation.
Tare:
Tare entry and operation may be disabled by programming.
Power requirements:
240VAC 50Hz. Power consumption is 15 watts (or less).
