CHAPTER 2.0
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
This chapter describes the Mini 11-101F Integrator installation procedure.
2.1.1 Site Selection
The Mini 11-101F Integrator mounting site should be selected with care. The enclosure
should be mounted as close to the load cell as possible (within 200 feet) without being
exposed to excessive vibration, heat, or moisture. The ideal mounting location would be on a
separate wall or beam in view of the scale (Figure 2-1). In some applications, it may be
necessary to mount the Mini 11-101F Integrator more distant than 200 feet from the scale. In
such cases, a special six-wire shielded cable is recommended for wiring the load cell and
remote excitation sense lines.
2.2 INSTALLATION
2.2.1 Mounting
Mount the Mini 11-101F Integrator to a rigid fixture in an area of minimum vibration. Mounting
dimensions are shown in Figure 2-2, Outline and Mounting Dimensions. The Mini 11-101F
Integrator is mounted with the door hinge on the left and at a height which allows comfortable
viewing of the displays and access to the front panel, keypad, power switch, and field wiring
terminals.

CHAPTER 3.0
OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL
Thermo Electron Ramsey Belt Scale System is capable of accurate weighing, provided it is
installed, calibrated, operated, and maintained in complete accordance with the instructions
contained in this manual, along with your scale frame installation manual.
3.2 OVERVIEW
Mini 11-101 Integrator is a micro-computer based instrument that accepts and conditions
speed and weight signals and provides visual and electrical outputs for total weight and rate
of flow. A stable 10 volt DC excitation voltage capable of exciting up to four strain gauge
load cells is produced by the Mini 11-101 Integrator. Sense lead terminations are also
provided for six wire load cell cable.
Auto Zero Track enables the belt scale system to automatically zero itself during extended
periods when the conveyor belt is running empty. Auto Zero Track is menu selectable
because some installations may not desire this option. A "Z" will appear on the left hand side
of the rate to indicate the selection of this option.
Programmable data is permanently stored in the NVRAM. No battery backup is required nor
is there a time limit for data retention if power is continuously off. The print option COMM
board does have battery backup for time and date retention.
Errors may occur during initial calibration and their reason must be corrected during initial
calibration. During normal operation, an error would most likely indicate a failure in the
system or improper operation.
