 This sign forewarns the presence of hazards
CAUTION that could result in personnel injury or property
damage when incorrectly handled.

Caution on wiring
● Tighten the screws for the signal input/output terminals at the specified torque.
If they are loose, shorts, fire or malfunctions may occur.
Tightening torque: 0.5N • m
● For sensors, external inputs/outputs and options, use shielded cables.
● The temporary overvoltage applied to the power should not exceed 1500V.

Caution during startup and maintenance

● For turning on/off the power, be sure to keep intervals of 5 seconds or more.
● After power-on, make sure to warm up the F701-C for at least 30 minutes or more before use.
● If the F701-C is not used by the specified method, its protective performance may be
impaired.
● Maintenance
- When performing maintenance, disconnect the power.
- Do not wipe with a wet rag, or with benzine, thinner, alcohol, etc. Doing so may cause
discoloration or deformation of the F701-C. In the case of heavy contamination, wipe off
the contamination with a cloth after dipping it into a diluted neutral detergent and wringing
it well, and then wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Caution during transportation

● When the F701-C is shipped, spacers made of corrugated cardboard are used as
cushioning materials.
Though it is factory-designed so that shocks can sufficiently be absorbed, breakage may

runs.

2-1-2. 4-wire Connection

Connect 3 and 4, and 5 and 6 as shown below.

Even 4 and 6 on the terminal block are open, normal operation is performed apparently, but heating
or breakage may occur because excessive voltage is applied to the load cell.
For connection, use the accessory jumper lines.

2-1-3. Connecting Load cells in Parallel

In some industrial weighing apparatus, two or more load cells may be connected in parallel to form
a hopper scale or track scale. The manner of connection is shown below.
Parallel connection can simply be made by using the optionally available B410 (summing box for
4-point multi load cell).

-SIG R viewed from this device side can be
-EXC regarded as a unit load cell the rated
+SIG R capacity of which is multiplied by “n”
and the sensitivity of which is
unchanged. The averaging resistance (R)
should be 300 to 500Ω, equal in relative
R
ratio and excellent in temperature
coefficient. No averaging resistance is
R
needed if load cells with consideration
for parallel connection are used.

4-1. Span Calibration

Calibration is performed for matching the F701-C to a load cell. For example, it is work to adjust so
that the F701-C accurately displays 100.00kg when an actual load (or weight) of 100kg is applied to
the load cell (balance section) of the weighing apparatus to which the F701-C is connected. This
operation is called Span Calibration.

Example of discharging weighing

In discharging weighing, the amount of discharge can be weighed by adding negative weighed
values. In this example system, raw materials are to be fed from the material tank to the weighing
tank, and a fixed quantity of raw materials are to be discharged from the weighing tank to a
container. At first, the discharge valves of the weighing tank are to be fully opened to discharge raw
materials, and the discharge valves are to be closed in the order of Set Point 1 → Set Point 2, and
Set Point 2 → Set Point 3 at the time of Final - Set Point 1, and Final - Set Point 2, respectively. The
discharge valves are to be completely closed at the time of Final - Compensation, when one

fed into the weighing tank.

(2) It is detected by the upper limit signal that the weighing tank is full, and the valves of the mate-
rial tank are closed.

(3) By setting external input Tare subtraction ON (or with the TARE key on the panel), Net

weight is zeroed. (Tare subtraction)

(4) The discharge valves are fully opened to start discharging. When the weighed value reaches
(Final - Set Point 1), Set Point 1 output signal turns ON. (If the comparison inhibit timer is set,
the timer starts.) The discharge valve (Set Point 1) is closed.

(5) When the weighed value reaches (Final - Set Point 2), Set Point 2 output signal turns ON. (If the
comparison inhibit timer is set, the timer starts.) The discharge valve (Set Point 2) is closed.

(6) When the weighed value reaches (Final - Compensation), Set Point 3 output signal turns ON,
and if the judging timer is set, the timer starts. The discharge valves are completely closed.

(7) After the judging timer expires, Over/Under judgment is made. If the weighed value exceeds the
range of the Over/Under setting value, the over signal or under signal is output. In weighing
from the second time onward, (3) ~ (6) are repeated in a like manner.

(8) When the weighing tank runs short of raw materials, the valves of the material tank are opened
by the output of the lower limit signal to feed raw materials into the weighing tank.

The feeding valves and discharge valves should be opened and closed through
the sequencer or relay sequence according to the control signals from the

Auto Free Fall Compensation ON/OFF /
Average Count of Auto Free Fall Compensation /
Auto Free Fall Compensation Coefficient

Auto free fall compensation adjusts the amount of suspended ingredient automatically to reduce
weight error. Register auto free fall compensation parameter.

Principle of auto free fall compensation

Sampling the weight value when the complete signal turns ON after Set Point 3 finished.
Record “n” times(A) the difference(D) between set Final value and actual weight value, average the
difference and multiplied by compensation coefficient, then add the result of Compensation value.

Value added to Compensation value

(D1 ＋ D2 ＋ D3・・・
・・・DA)
× C
A

F701-C can regulate the value of D for minimizing the errors.

When D is within the range of (Final + AFFC.) ≧ Actual weight ≧ (Final - AFFC.), F701-C
processes auto free fall compensation.
And when compensation feeding is ON in Sequence Mode, F701-C samples the weight value
before compensation feeding.

Request

The auto free fall compensation function stores compensation samples by

using the Over/Under judgment signals.
If the number of Judging Times is set to 00 (no judgment), the F701-C cannot
store such samples for auto free fall compensation, so that the compensation
function does not work.
For using the auto free fall compensation function, set the number of Judging
Times to 01 or more.
For details, please refer to "a) Judging Times" on P.96.

7. STATISTICAL AND ACCUMULATION FUNCTION

SETTING AND OPERATION

Weight values are accumulated by this function. Based on the accumulated weight data, statistical
data, such as the maximum, minimum, and average, are calculated.
Weight values can be accumulated by the auto accumulation command or external input/output
signal, through RS-232C communication, RS-485 communication (option), CC-Link (option).
Up to 10000 accumulations can be made. For 10001 or more accumulations, the operation
“Accumulation clear” must be performed to clear the accumulated and statistical data.
While the number of accumulations is 10000, an accumulation error results. The accumulation error
can be outputted from B11 pin out of the external input/output signals (by setting).
Even while the accumulation error is given, other weighing operations and the print command (SI/
F), etc., are not affected.
Operations other than those relating to statistics and accumulations are performed normally.
The accumulation value and statistical data can be referred to in the subdisplay area or in the setting

or remote display. A two-core parallel cable or a cabtyre cable (Wire with covering thickened for
construction) may be used for connection. When a two-core parallel cable or a cabtyre cable is
used, the transmitting distance is approximately 30m. When a two-core shielded twisted pair cable
is used, the transmitting distance is approximately 300m.

10-1-1. Connection
Up to three nonpolarized external devices can be connected. It should not run along side AC or
other high-voltage wiring. It may cause of malfunction.

Example 1 : SIF
LD514 Remote display
Tare display

LD514 Remote display LD514 Remote display

Gross display Net display
* Up to 3 remote displays (LD514) can be connected. The each display (Gross weight, Net weight,
Tare weight) can display individual content according to the selection.

Example 2 : SIF
LD557A
Remote display

LD514 M252B
Remote display Printer
* These indicated above are examples for the connection of remote displays (LD557A, LD514,
M252B). Each display can select the data (Gross weight, Net weight, Tare weight) individually.

10-1-2. Auto Print Command

The F701-C gives an auto print command to any device connected by SI/F interface.
In sequence mode, the auto print command is output when the judgment signal (Go, Over, Under)
turns ON. Therefore, be aware that the auto print command is not output when no judgment is set
(Judging Times = 00). In simple comparison mode, the auto print command is output when the
complete signal turns ON. Therefore, the auto print command is not output when the setting of
Final and Over/Under comparison is comparison OFF (Weighing Function 1 in setting mode 2).
An auto print command is outputted to the external device when the accumulation command is
received by the external input/output signal or through the RS-232C, RS-485 (option), CC-Link
(option).

10-4-4. About D/A Resolution

The resolution of the D/A converter is 1/10000 with respect to 4 ~ 20mA.

That is, the minimum unit of current is as follows:

(20 ~ 4mA) × 1/10000 = 1.6μA

Also, the minimum unit of weight value is as follows:

(D/A Full Scale setting value) × 1/10000

- Use a twisted pair cable for connection. (The noise margin will increase.) However, a twin cable
is sufficient for short-distance connection.
- Couple a terminal resistor of 100 ~ 200Ω to the receiving end.
- The F701-C side has internal terminal resistor. By
turning ON the Rt switch, it is not necessary to
install external resistance.
- The terminal SG is a grand terminal used on the
circuit for protecting the circuit.When the main Turn ON the Rt switch.
body of F701-C and the device connected to F701-C
are grounded by D type ground, there is usually no need to use the terminal SG.
However, confirm the specifications of the devise connected before connecting the terminal SG,
when it is necessary to connect it according to the situation of the site.

10-5-4. Communication Method

1. For connecting more than one F701-C, assign an ID number to each F701-C.

2. When a start command including an ID number is sent from the host, only one F701-C is brought
into transmittable condition, in which reading of weight data, reading and changing of setting
values, commands, etc., become valid.

3. Before making another F701-C transmittable, be sure to send an end command.

* Since Tri-state control is performed according to the start command and end command, if only
the start command is sent to two or more F701-Cs, their outputs come into collision, so that
normal communications cannot be carried out.

4. ID number setting.

Operation
1) Select setting mode 4.

4
F → CNG/ENT → SP1 → CNG/ENT

2) Input the ID Number. (5-ID Number)

ID Number
(0 ~ 9999)

* When the ID number is 0000, transmittable and receivable conditions are brought about at
power-on, therefore set ID numbers other than 0000 for connecting two or more F701-Cs.

* If the ID number setting is other than 0000, other formats (R・・, W・・, C・・, etc.) are invalid
until the following start command is accepted after power-on.

5. Start command.

record the setting values beforehand. If the F701-C cannot be moved from the installation location,
replace as follows:

1. Pull out the power cable from the main unit.

2. Remove the two M3 screws at the top of the rear panel, and pull out the upper cover by sliding it.
