Safety instructions 9
DIS2116 HBM
Safety instructions
• There are not normally any hazards associated with the product, provided the notes and
instructions for project planning, installation, appropriate operation and maintenance are
observed.
• It is essential to comply with the safety and accident prevention regulations specific to the
particular application.
• Installation and start-up must only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.
• Do not allow damp and dirt to get inside the device when connecting the cables.
• When connecting the cables, take action to prevent electrostatic discharge as this may
damage the electronics.
• The required power supply for the device is an extra-low voltage (10...30 V) with safe
disconnection from the mains.
• When connecting additional devices, comply with the safety requirements.
• The ground connections of the supply voltage, the interface and the load cell cable shield
are interconnected in the device. If the potentials of the devices to be connected are
different, suitable steps must be taken to isolate the signals (such as using an
optocoupler).
• Shielded cables must be used for all connections apart from the supply voltage (see note
below). The shield must be connected to the provided terminals (Chapter 5.3, page 18).
• The use of unshielded cables for the voltage supply is only permissible for cables with a
maximum length of 30 m, laid inside buildings. If cables are longer or are installed outside
buildings, shielded cables must be used (as per EN 61326-1).
• To compensate for potential differences, the metal housing of the DIS2116 must be
connected to the scale structures as well as to the ground potential of the connected
devices by a low-resistance equalizing conductor. This is unnecessary if a potential
difference of 35 V is not exceeded.
• In the device, the reference ground (GND) of all the signals and the supply voltage is
connected directly to the cable shield connection but not to the housing.
• Connection to a wide-ranging supply network is not permitted as this often causes
interfering voltage peaks to be coupled into the electronics. Instead, a local supply must
be provided for the DIS2116 (even when grouped).
• The front foil is made from high-quality materials, providing a service life appropriate to
the external conditions. The keys must only be operated by hand; under no
circumstances must pointed objects be used to press them.

5.1 Notes
Please observe the safety information at the start of this description.
The load cells and the supply cables are connected by means of screw terminals on the back
of the device. The terminals are fitted with wire protection and the use of end sleeves is
recommended, particularly for the load cell cables. The assignment of the connection
terminals is displayed on the back of the device.
NOTE
All the ground connections are interconnected on the motherboard!
5.2 Cable connection
All connections are accessible from the outside, the housing does not need to be opened.
Strain relief for the connection cable can be implemented via the supplied terminal housing.
It permits the use of round cables with a diameter of 5...7 mm.
To minimize EMC problems, the individual wires from the end of the shielding to the terminal
should be as short as possible.
The cable shieldings must be twisted together and connected to one of the terminals 1.1,
1.8, 2.1 or 2.8.

5.4 Load cell connection
Digital load cells e.g. C16i, can be connected to the DIS2116. An RS485 interface is
available for this purpose.
The RS485 interface can be used as a 4-wire (full duplex) or as a 2-wire (half duplex)
interface.
All digital load cells (e.g. C16i) have the address 31 as the factory setting. If several load
cells are connected to a scale, the load cell addresses must first be changed. This setting is
implemented in the parameter menu ”SCALE CONFIGURATION” (Chapter 10.1, page 66)
NOTE
Call up the parameter menu ”SCALE CONFIGURATION” after connecting the load cells.

30 Basic scale functions
HBM DIS2116
7 Basic scale functions
All device functions can be controlled in one or more of the following ways:
• Front control with 19 short-stroke keys. With the function keys F1 ... F4, the meaning of
the keys is displayed in the display function line.
• An external keyboard which can be connected via the PS2 input
• Connecting an external computer via the COM2 serial interface
The main scale functions (Gross/Net, Taring, Zero setting) are controlled via the function
keys F1...F4. For calibration and further device settings a menu is called up with the key
(or F5 on the external keyboard) . Scale operation is not interrupted during parameter input,
right up to exiting the menu. When computer commands are used for control, measurement
generally continues without interruption. The exceptions to this are settling after filter
selection and power failsafe storage to the EEPROM.
7.1 Switching on and off
The device is switched on once the supply voltage is applied.
When the electronics are switched on, a BUS-SCAN is executed initially, i.e. a check is made
as to whether the load cells listed in the PARAMETER MENU - SCALE CONFIGURATION
are present.
During initial commissioning, all digital load cells have the same address 31 (factory setting).
The load cells must be configured, before a scale adjustment can be carried out.
With verified scales, a check is made as to whether the parameters in the load cells have
been changed. If the parameters in the load cells are no longer identical to those during
verification, an error message is displayed and no measured values.
Connected load cells that are not entered in the ”PARAMETER MENU → SCALE
CONFIGURATION” are not taken into account.
During the BUS-SCAN:
• Information line 1 displays an identification string consisting of the manufacturer, TYPE,
serial number and software version
• Information line 2 displays date and time
• Measured value status line displays the legal-for-trade counter status (TCR) and
whether the scale is legal for trade (LFT)
Zero is automatically set during initialization if this function is activated.
The actions carried out during initialization are displayed in clear text in the measured value
display and the initialization progress is shown by a moving bar.
The scale must not be loaded before it is switched on.
The device is switched off by disconnecting the supply voltage from DIS2116.
Basic scale functions 31
DIS2116 HBM
7.2 Zero setting the scale
Press the F4 key until the symbol >0< appears above the F3 key.
Press the F3 key to set the measurement value to zero.
The displayed gross value is zero immediately after zero setting.
 

The % figures relate to the nominal weighing range (parameter ”SCALE PARAMETERS →
PARAMETER → NOMINAL VALUE”)
Execution is dependent on standstill recognition (Chapter 7.9, page 35).
The net display is deactivated.
NOTE
Zero setting is only possible when the function in the ”PARAMETER MENU → FUNCTION
KEYS → ZERO SETTING” is set to ACTIVE.
32 Basic scale functions
HBM DIS2116
7.3 Gross/net selection
Press the F4 key until the symbol appears above the F2 key.
Every time the F2 key is pressed, the display changes between gross and net. When
selecting the net display, the last valid tare value is used again.
NOTE
Gross/net selection is only possible when the function in the ”PARAMETER MENU →
FUNCTION KEYS → GROSS/NET” is set to ACTIVE.
7.4 10-fold resolution
Press the F4 key until the display symbol x10 appears above the F2 key.
Every time the F2 key is pressed, 10x resolution is switched on/off. This mode can be used
for test purposes. The measured value is then displayed with a factor 10 higher resolution.
NOTE
10-fold resolution is only possible when the function in the ”PARAMETER MENU →
FUNCTION KEYS → 10-FOLD RESOLUTION” is set to ACTIVE. If the scale is set to
legal-for-trade OIML or NTEP, 10-fold resolution can only be switched on while the F2 key is
pressed. When F2 is released, 10-fold resolution is switched off after 5 s.
Basic scale functions 33
DIS2116 HBM
7.5 Taring
Press the F4 key until the symbol >T< appears above the F3 key.
Pressing the F3 key stores the current gross value and deducts it from all the subsequent
weight values. The displayed (net) value is zero immediately after taring. The tare value can
be permanently displayed in the measurement value display, the setting must be made in the
menu ”DISPLAY-DISPLAY-LINE1” or ”DISPLAY-DISPLAY-LINE2”. The tare value can be
read in the ”INFORMATION-TARE VALUE” menu item.
 

The % figures relate to the nominal weighing range (parameter ”SCALE PARAMETERS →
PARAMETER → NOMINAL VALUE”)
Execution is dependent on standstill recognition (Chapter 7.9, page 35).
Taring with this key overwrites any manual tare value that may have been entered previously
(PT symbol is switched off).
Entering manual tare value
Pressing the F3 key for more than 2 s displays a window for input of a manual tare value.
Upon entry of a manual tare value, the net value plus manual tare is displayed (NET PT).
NOTE
Taring and entry of a manual tare value is only possible when the function in the
”PARAMETER MENU → FUNCTION KEYS → TARING” is set to ACTIVE.
7.6 Manual tare function
A manual tare value can be input in the parameter menu ”SCALE
PARAMETERS-PARAMETER-MANUAL TARE VALUE” and the calculation of the manual
tare value can be switched on/off in the parameter menu ”SCALE
PARAMETERS-PARAMETER-MANUAL TARE MODE”, (see Chapter 8.5.8. (page 50) and
13 (page 86)).
When the ”Manual tare” function is active, the net value is formed by deducting a fixed tare
value.
The ”G/N” key does not change the entered manual tare value.
The .PT. symbol in the display indicates that the net value has been formed by deducting the
manual tare value. This disappears after taring with the key F3 (”>T<”).
If the tare function was activated, it will also be activated once the device is switched back
on.
34 Basic scale functions
HBM DIS2116
7.7 Zero on start-up
If this function is activated (parameter menu ”SCALE PARAMETERS → PARAMETER →
ZERO ON START-UP”), the unloaded scale is automatically set to zero when the DIS2116 is
switched on (range of zero setting device ±2...20 %). This takes into consideration the set
standstill condition.
7.8 Error displays
The permissible display range depends on the nominal value of the scale and the set mode
of operation (not legal for trade / OIML / NTEP).
 

The percentages relate to the nominal weighing range (”NOMINAL VALUE” parameter)
The following error message appears in the display when the measured value is
outside the maximum display range: -----------------
Other errors are displayed as a four-digit code with explanation
(e.g. ERROR!
CODE 5700
No standstill
No measured value acquired
They should not occur in normal operation (see also Chapter 20.2, page 108).
Basic scale functions 35
DIS2116 HBM
7.9 Standstill recognition
The zeroing, taring and printing functions are only executed if the value in the display is
stable. This is known as standstill and is indicated by showing the unit of measurement. The
condition for standstill is that the value changes by no more than a specific fluctuation limit
per time unit. With fluctuating (wind) loads or a very high scale resolution, it is quite possible
that standstill will never be achieved. In this case, a more strongly damping filter or a lower
resolution must be selected in the parameter setting.
The various options for standstill indication can be selected in the ”SCALE
PARAMETERS-PARAMETER → STANDSTILL MON.” menu, see also Chapter 8.5.11. (page
55).
It is also possible to switch off the standstill conditions (but not for legal-for-trade
applications). The unit is always displayed when standstill monitoring is switched off.

8 Parameter menu
8.1 Calling the parameter menu
There are several ways to activate the parameter menu:
• Press the key or
• Press the hidden pushbutton or
• Press the F5 key on an external keyboard
The difference is the access to the legal / scale adjustment parameters:
Pressing the hidden pushbutton gives access to the legal parameters of the first menu level
(”PARAMETER MENU - FUNCTION KEYS, MODE, SCALE CONFIGURATION, SCALE
PARAMETERS, OFF-CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION, FACTORY SETTINGS”),
otherwise these parameters are only displayed.
8.2 Disabling/enabling menu functions
The parameter menu has so-called access levels (0...5). This feature is used to enable or
disable user access to the parameters. Only those menu items that are enabled are
displayed.
Access to change parameters is defined in the ”PARAMETER MENU-MODE-ACCESS
LEVEL” menu. Access level 0 disables most menus,access level 5 enables all parameter
menus. The ”PARAMETER-MODE-ACCESS LEVEL” menu is protected by the hidden
pushbutton.
 

Parameter menu 37
DIS2116 HBM
8.3 The main menu
To make things clearer, the parameters are grouped into several sub-menus, which can be
called from the main menu. It is also possible to print out the parameters here (only when the
printer interface is active). Certain parameters are not accessible in every mode of device
operation, or are read-only. To make adjustments for legal-for-trade devices, it is necessary
to actuate a hidden pushbutton, which is only accessible once the calibration or sealing label
has been removed.
The parameter menu contains the following items:

ZERO TRACKING
The automatic zero tracking occurs for a gross or net measured value <0.5 d in the
range + 2 % of the nominal value of the scale. The maximum tracking speed is 0.5 d/s
when the scale is at standstill. Standstill recognition can be set in the Standstill monitoring
parameter . The unit d (digit) is equal to one verified scale division e.
ZERO ON START-UP
Zero on start-up means that, when the scale is switched on, a weight up to max. ±20 %
of the nominal value is set to zero once. In legal-for-trade applications, a max. of ±10 %
of the nominal value can be set to zero. Zero setting is only implemented at a standstill
and when the weight is within the specified range. Possible settings are OFF, ±2 %, ±5
%, ±10 % and ±20 % of the nominal value.
STANDSTILL MONITORING
Standstill check. Standstill means that the weight does not change by more than the
set value in one second. Standstill is indicated by the unit of measurement. If the
standstill condition is not met, the unit of measurement is not displayed. The setting
1d/s applies for a legal-for-trade scale.
The following settings are possible:
OFF Standstill monitoring is disabled, the display is always in the standstill
mode, the unit of measurement is permanently displayed.
0.25d/s Standstill is when the weight value does not change by more
than 0.25 d in one second.
 

Example:
If a resolution of 1 g and standstill monitoring of 1 d/s is set, the standstill condition is met
when the weight value does not change by more than 1 g/s.
G-FACTOR CALIBRATION /APPLICATION
The g-factor setting is only required when the scale is calibrated at the production
site and operated at another place with this setting. If the scale is calibrated at the
installation site, both g-factors must be identical.
MANUAL TARE MODE/VALUE
Input of a known TARE value. The input TARE value is displayed as a manual tare
value with the symbol PT in the display. The display [Tare PT] must be activated for
this in ”DISPLAY→DISPLAY LINE 1(2)”.

9 Filter selection
The DIS2116 has five different filters. These can be selected via the ”FILTER-FILTER
MODE” parameter menu :
• Standard filter (IIR low-pass filter)
• Fast-settling filter (FIR low-pass filter)
• IIR 8th order low-pass filter
• Fast-settling digital filter (IIR 4th order low-pass filter)
• Fast-settling digital filter (FIR low-pass filter)
The filter limit frequency can be set in 10 steps (0...9). The settings are made in the
”FILTER-LIMIT FREQUENCY” parameter menu.
Setting 0 means that the filter is disabled.
The particular application determines which filter mode is selected.
A low bandwidth has a longer settling time and should be selected for greater accuracy.
Scale resolution (”NOMINAL VALUE” parameter) and standstill recognition are interlinked. If
standstill is not achieved, the filter bandwidth must be reduced.
NOTE
The filters are part of the load cells, their properties are described in the documentation
for the load cells (C16i, measurement chains). (Commands FMD, ASF, HSM).
66 Scale adjustment
HBM DIS2116
10 Scale adjustment
The scale is adjusted by setting the user characteristic curve on the DIS2116, that is to say,
the scale electronics adapt to the current output signals that the digital load cell(s) supplies
when the scale(s) is not loaded or at nominal weight. Calibration weights are usually required
for this, although the alternative is to input the measured values, if these are known.
The adjustment range depends on the maximum capacity of the load cells used. The factory
setting is a resolution of 10,000d for the maximum capacity of the scale, adjusted (factory
settings, see Chapter 8.5.12. (page 57).
Two methods are available to adjust a scale.
1. Scale adjustment by measuring the characteristic curve
This method is described in Chapter 10.2 to 10.5.
2. Scale adjustment with digital off-center load compensation
From a scale configuration with minimum 4 load cells, the scale adjustment
can also be implemented with digital off-center load compensation.
This method is described in Chapter 10.6.
10.1 Configuration of the load cells
During initial commissioning, all load cells have the same address (31), measured value
display is not possible, the display will show an initialization error [INIT ERROR].
Each load cell must be assigned its own address. This is possible with the aid of the load cell
serial number.
Proceed as follows:
• The parameter menu must be called via the hidden pushbutton
• ”SCALE CONFIGURATION” parameter menu
The addresses for the load cells must be assigned for each segment increasing clockwise
(e.g. in segment 1, start in one corner with the address 11).
NOTE
If the load cells have already been assigned individual addresses (e.g. with the AED panel),
measured values are displayed after switching on and you can start directly with scale
adjustment.
Scale adjustment 67
DIS2116 HBM
10.2 Prerequisites for scale adjustment
Before the scale can be adjusted, the nominal range of the scale and other parameters must
be set.
The prerequisites here are:
• The parameter menu must be called via the hidden pushbutton
• ”MODE-ACCESS LEVEL” parameter menu= 5 (access to all menus)
• ”MODE-LFT CAPABILITY” parameter menu = OFF (LFT application disabled)
• Set ”SCALE PARAMETERS-PARAMETER UNIT–DECIMAL POINT–NOMINAL
VALUE-RESOLUTION” parameter menu
• Set ”SCALE PARAMETERS-PARAMETER-G-FACTOR CALIBRAT” parameter menu to
the gravitational acceleration value of the adjustment location.
• ”SCALE PARAMETERS-PARAMETER-G-FACTOR APPLICATION” parameter menu =
G-FACTOR CALIBRAT.” (disable gravitational acceleration correction).
• Disable linearization in ”SCALE PARAMETERS- LINEARIZATION” parameter menu:
WEIGHT1 = WEIGHT2 = MEASURED VALUE1 = MEASURED VALUE2 = 0)
See Chapter 8.5.10. (page 52) and 8.5.11. (page 55).
68 Scale adjustment
HBM DIS2116
10.3 Scale adjustment with maximum capacity
(standard method, calibration weight = nominal value)
In most scale applications, the adjustment is made at two points, that is to say, when the
scale is not loaded and when a calibration weight is placed on it. Calibration is carried out as
follows:
1. Call up ”SCALE PARAMETERS” parameter menu
2. Check that the calibration weight is the same as the maximum capacity (calibration
weight = nominal value).
3. Go to the ”MEASUREMENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE” (measurement) sub-menu.
4. Zero value:
• The scale is not loaded
• Call up ”ZERO LOAD” sub-menu
• The current measured value is displayed with internal resolution (the displayed value is
e.g. dependent on the number of load cells).
• Wait for a steady measurement display
• Press the ”ENTER” key to store the value.
5. Calibration weight:
• Place the calibration weight (= maximum scale capacity) onto the scale
• Call up sub-menu ”MAXIMUM CAPACITY”
• The current measured value is displayed with internal resolution.
• Wait for a steady measurement display
• Press the ”ENTER” key to store the value.
Use the ”CE” key to cancel at any time. This will reset the parameter that has just been
called (and this one only!) to its former value. The former value is only deleted after storing.
The two values are stored internally at high resolution (internal digits).
If the measurement display is too unsteady, reduce the filter bandwidth (Chapter 9, page 65)
The other parameters must then be set.
Scale adjustment 69
DIS2116 HBM
10.4 Scale adjustment with partial load
(calibration weight = 20 (5)... 120 % nominal value)
If there is no calibration weight corresponding to the maximum scale capacity available, a
partial calibration can be performed. The ”CALIBRATION WEIGHT” parameter must be set
to the value of the calibration weight used. This must be in the range of 5 %...120 % of the
maximum scale capacity. In LFT applications, the adjustment should be carried out with a
calibration weight of at least 20% of the scale maximum capacity. The calibration weight is
scaled like the display value (e.g. 2 kg = 2.000, with 3 decimal places).
Until a calibration has been performed, the calibration weight is the same as the nominal
value.
NOTE
Before calibration, the ”SCALE PARAMETERS → PARAMETER → NOMINAL VALUE”
parameter must be set to the maximum scale capacity!
Calibration is carried out as follows:
1. Call up ”SCALE PARAMETERS” menu
2. Go to the ”MEASUREMENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE” (measurement) sub-menu.
3. Set the calibration weight [CALIBRATION WEIGHT].
4. Zero value:
• The scale is not loaded
• Call up ”ZERO LOAD” sub-menu
• The current measured value is displayed with internal resolution (the displayed value is
e.g. dependent on the number of load cells).
• Wait for a steady measurement display
• Press the ”ENTER” key to store the value.
5. Calibration weight:
• Place the calibration weight (= CALIBRATION WEIGHT) onto the scale.
• Call up ”MAXIMUM CAPACITY” sub-menu
• The current measured value is displayed with internal resolution.
• Wait for a steady measurement display
• Press the ”ENTER” key to store the value.
Use the ”CE” key to cancel at any time. This will reset the parameter that has just been called
(and this one only!) to its former value. The former value is only deleted after storing.
The two values are stored internally at high resolution (internal digits).
The other parameters must then be set.
If the measurement display is too unsteady, reduce the filter bandwidth (Chapter 9, page 65)
The other parameters must then be set.
70 Scale adjustment
HBM DIS2116
10.5 Adjustment without calibration weight
(computational adjustment)
If there is no calibration weight available, an adjustment can be performed by entering the
calculated values.
When scales have vast maximum capacities, it is often not possible to use calibration
weights for adjustment. The digital load cells (e.g. C16i) connected to the DIS2116 are
calibrated at the factory to output a measured value of 1,000,000 at maximum capacity.
The user characteristic curve can therefore be determined from the known nominal value of
the load cells. The zero value is defined by automatic measurement, but the nominal value is
defined by manual input.
All load cells connected to a scale must have the same maximum capacity.
Prerequisite:
• Off-center load compensation must be disabled (”OFF-CENTER LOAD →
COMPENSATION → MEASURING → SEGMENT1(2,3)” parameter menu
See Chapter 8.5.14., page 63.
1. Measuring the zero value of the characteristic curve when the scale is not loaded:
• Call up ”SCALE PARAMETERS” parameter menu
• Go to the ”MEASUREMENT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE” (measurement) sub-menu.
• Zero value:
• The scale is not loaded
• Call up ”ZERO LOAD” sub-menu
• The current measured value is displayed with internal resolution. (The displayed value
is e.g. dependent on the number of load cells).
• Wait for a steady measurement display
• Make a note of the measured value (mw0) for later input
2. Calculating the nominal value of the scale
The digital load cells (e.g. C16i) connected to the DIS2116 are calibrated at the factory to
output a measured value of 1,000,000 at maximum capacity. The nominal value of the scale
characteristic curve is composed of the zero value and the weighing range. As the zero value
has already been measured, it only remains to define the weighing range.
 

The load cell sensitivity is 1,000,000 at load cell maximum capacity. The load cell maximum
capacity is stated on the load cell type plate. The following applies:
Scale maximum capacity < Load cell maximum capacity
The weighing range result is therefore a value in internal resolution (digits).
Scale adjustment 71
DIS2116 HBM
3. Input of characteristic curve
If you add the value for the weighing range to the previously measured zero value, you
obtain the nominal value of the scale (mw1). The characteristic curve can now be input:
• Call up ”SCALE PARAMETERS” parameter menu
• Go to the ”INPUT CHARACTERISTIC CURVE” sub-menu.
• ”CALIBRATION WEIGHT” menu . Enter the weight used for adjustment.
• Call up menu ”ZERO LOAD” and enter measured value for unloaded scale (mw0).
• Call up ”MAXIMUM CAPACITY” menu.
• Enter nominal value (mw1).
Scales with several load cells supply the nominal output signal (1000000 or the nominal
value entered under SCALE PARAMETERS-PARAMETER-NOMINAL VALUE), if the weight
applied is the maximum capacity.
NOTE
Adjustment in digits (internal resolution) does not achieve the same accuracy as adjustment
with calibration weights and must therefore only be used for applications where accuracy is
less.
72 Scale adjustment
HBM DIS2116
10.6 Adjustment with digital off-center load compensation
In this adjustment variant, both the characteristic curve is determined and the off-center load
error is compensated. A scale configuration with at least 4 load cells is required for digital
off-center load compensation. An adjustment with off-center load compensation is only
successful when the load cells in the segments 1...3 are arranged with clockwise ascending
addresses (see illustrations on adjustment modes).
The following settings were made:
10.1 Configuration of load cells
10.2 Prerequisites for scale adjustment:
• Call up “OFF-CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION” parameter menu
• Call up menu ”MEASUREMENT”.
• In the “MODE” menu, select an adjustment variant Simple – Average – Precise
• In the “CALIBRATION WEIGHT” menu, enter the weight value used for adjustment.
The calibration weight is entered as the weight in weight units used for off-center load
compensation. The balancing weight should be min. 20 % and max. 120 % of the scale
maximum capacity. An adjustment of up to 5 % of the scale maximum capacity is also
possible for non-legal-for-trade scales.
It must be noted that the smaller the balancing weight is, the greater the error in the final
value.
• In SEGMENT 1, measure the weight values as specified and accept with F1. If the scale
consists of more than one segment, the adjustment procedure for segments 2 and 3 is
identical to that for segment 1.
There are three adjustment modes for off-center load compensation (simple - average -
precise) These are described below.
NOTE
In the AVERAGE and PRECISE adjustment variants, the adjustment dialog indicates the
point (corner) of the segment that has to be loaded. If the load is not applied to the indicated
point, the measured value display of the loaded point (corner) flashes.
Remedy: Apply weight to indicated point.

Scale adjustment 79
DIS2116 HBM
10.6.4 Off-center load compensation mode “INPUT”
• Call up “OFF-CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION” parameter menu
• Call up “INPUT SEGMENT 1(2,3)” menu
Segments 2 and 3 are only displayed when 2 or 3 is set in the menu SCALE
CONFIGURATION-SEGMENT-NUMBER.
A scale configuration with at least 4 load cells is required for digital off-center load
compensation.
The load cells belonging to the selected segment are displayed with their addresses.
(E.g. Segment 1 with 4 load cells? Display correction value 11... 14)
To input the correction values, proceed as follows:
1. Display measured value display (exit parameter menu).
2. Load the four corners consecutively with a known weight. Note the weight values.
3. Note the deviation between displayed weight and known weight.
4. Calculate, for each corner, the compensating value based on the scale maximum
capacity using the formula
Maximum capacity/known weight * measured deviation.
5. Enter the calculated values for the individual load cells in the parameter menu
OFF-CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION / INPUT SEGMENT 1.
6. Check the deviations in the measured value display and adjust where necessary.
Example:
The scale consists of one segment (segment 1)/ The scale maximum capacity is 100 kg
(display = 100.00 kg), the known balancing weight is 25 kg. At corner 11, the weight is
displayed at 24.90 kg
Calculate the deviation: 24.90kg – 25.00kg = -0.10kg (displayed weight – balancing weight)
Convert deviation using nominal value (100.00 kg) = 100.00/25.00* (-0.10) = -40 kg
Input -0.40 kg into parameter menu OFF-CENTER LOAD COMPENSATION CORRECTION
VALUE 11.
Proceed in the same way for correction values 12, 13 and 14.
After input check the corners again and repeat the inputs if necessary.
80 Scale adjustment
HBM DIS2116
10.7 Multi-range scale
The DIS2116 can be operated as a single-range or multi-range scale.
Two parameters are available in the parameter menu ”SCALE
PARAMETERS-PARAMETER”: MULTIRANGE1 and MULTIRANGE2. The weighing range
(NOMINAL VALUE) must be set before this setting.
 

The increment for the second/third weighing range is automatically derived from the
”RESOLUTION” parameter, whereby this parameter always describes the increment of the
first measuring range:
Example:
”RESOLUTION” = 1 d Increment range 2 = 2 d Increment range 3 = 5 d
10.8 Taking gravitational acceleration into account
The gravitational acceleration and thus the scale display, is dependent on the geographical
data of the installation location. The maximum variation between the different regions within
the Federal Republic of Germany is 0.1%; worldwide, this is 0.6%.
The function described below allows adjustment to take place on the scale manufacturer’s
premises, even if the device is to be operated at a different geographical location.
If the fault effect at the new installation location exceeds the scale accuracy limits, it is usually
necessary to re-adjust. But instead of this, it is also possible to use an internal correction function
in the DIS2116 to compensate for the effect of the installation location.
To do this, input the following in the ”SCALE PARAMETERS → PARAMETER menu, (access
authorization required!):
• G-FACTOR CALIBRATION = gravitational acceleration factor for the calibration location
• G-FACTOR APPLICATION = gravitational acceleration factor for the destination location
(where the scale is used)
This must be input after scale adjustment.
With the setting G-FACTOR CALIBRATION = G-FACTOR APPLICATION, the correction
calculation can be disabled. The display is then always related to the location of the last
calibration.
NOTE
This setting is not required if the scale is adjusted in situ!
Linearization 81
DIS2116 HBM
11 Linearization
For most scale applications, standard adjustment with the zero and full scale values
(”INPUT” or ”MEAS”) is sufficient. The signal only needs to be linearized (”LINEARIZATION”)
if unacceptable errors occur with this method. Linearization corrects errors when scale
structures have an output signal that is not proportional to the weight (e.g. because there are
mechanical transmission elements).
Correction selection via the menu ”SCALE PARAMETERS → LINEARIZATION:
 

1) Zero and full scale value adjustment is already described in Chapter 10.
For the linearization method, proceed as follows:
• Set the scale parameters
• Calibrate the scale at two points (zero and calibration weight) or via off-center load
calibration (Chapter 10 (page 66)
• Measure the linearity error in the weighing range with two additional calibration weights
NOTE
Correction is only possible when performing measurements. Input only makes sense when
the linearity adjustment has been implemented and the determined values are reset for test
purposes and now need to be input again.
Linearization always takes place at two measurement points (current values). First establish
whether the error characteristic curve has one or two maximums (see above).
If the error characteristic curve has one maximum, the first measurement point is put at
about 500 d = e (the narrowest part of the error characteristic curve). The second
measurement point is put at the maximum of the error characteristic curve.
If the error characteristic curve has two maximums, the first measurement point is put at the
first maximum. The second measurement point is put at the second maximum of the error
characteristic curve.
82 Linearization
HBM DIS2116
The table below shows an extract from the parameter menu:
 

Procedure for adjustment:
• The scale is already adjusted in its weighing range
• Any linearization present is disabled
(weight 1 = weight 2 = measured value 1 = measured value 2 = 0))
• Call up ”Weight 1” sub-menu
• Input the value for calibration weight 1
• Load the scale with calibration weight 1
• Call up the ”Measured value 1” sub-menu , the measured value is displayed with internal
resolution
• Wait until measured value display is still
• Press ”Enter” to store the value (the first value pair is recorded)
• Call up ”Weight 2” sub-menu
• Input the value for calibration weight 2
• Load the scale with calibration weight 2
• Call up the ”Measured value 2” sub-menu, the measured value is displayed with internal
resolution
• Wait until measured value display is still
• Press the ”Enter” key to store the value.
After input and measurement of both interpolation points, the linearization coefficient is
calculated. The characteristic curve is linearized.
Legal-for-trade applications 83
DIS2116 HBM
12 Legal-for-trade applications
Once the scale parameters have been set and the scale adjusted in the ”SCALE
PARAMETERS” menu, the DIS2116 must be set to legal-for-trade applications (OIML or
NTEP) using the parameter menu ”Mode → LFT capability”. This protects the legal-for-trade
parameters in the DIS2116 and load cells against further change and the legal-for-trade
counter, which cannot be reset, increases by one. The max. counting volume of the
legal-for-trade counter is 9 999 999. The counter has no overflow and is not resetable.
Legal-for-trade counter (TCR) display:
There are two methods for TCR display:
1. Permanently in INFO line 1 or 2 (select parameter menu DISPLAY-DISPLAY LINE 1 or
DISPLAY-DISPLAY LINE 2 TCR)
2. In the scale label (key F1 when “i” is displayed in the function line, switch function line
with F4)
TCR stands for ”Trade Counter” .
NOTE
The DIS2116 does not check whether the parameter settings made are valid under OIML
R76 or NTEP!
Before leaving the ”MODE” menu, the parameter access authorization parameter menu
”MODE-ACCESS LEVEL” must be appropriately set.
ACCESS Parameter:
The various menu levels have so-called access authorizations. The “MODE → ACCESS
LEVEL” parameter is used to define the access for changing parameters. The level with the
most restrictions is zero. This feature is used to restrict user access to these parameters.
The ”MODE → ACCESS LEVEL” parameter is protected by the hidden pushbutton. The
applicable access level is given for each parameter in the parameter description.

If the scale has to be re-adjusted or new parameters have to be set that are relevant to
calibration, proceed as follows:
• Remove the calibration label and the insertion strip
• Call the parameter menu via the hidden key
• Change the ”MODE → LFT CAPABILITY” parameter to NO
• The ”MODE → ACCESS LEVEL” parameter must be set to five.
Setting the parameter to legal-for-trade applications produces the following display
and tare ranges:
 

The % figures relate to the nominal weighing range ( ”SCALE PARAMETERS →
PARAMETER →NOMINAL VALUE” menu).
The scale electronics must be labeled and sealed in accordance with the scale application.
Different labeling strips are included for use as a Class III and IIII non-automatic scale. The
labeling strip must contain at least the following data:
Max Maximum scale loading
Min Minimum scale loading
e Increment
Type Name of scale
S.N. Individual serial number of scale
In the case of legal-for-trade scales, verification must be performed by a notified body, in

• F1 FOCUS
This function can be used to look at a section of the recorded measured
values. To do this, position CURSOR 1 with the keys F1, F2 at the start and
CURSOR 2 with the keys F3, F4 at the end of the area of interest. The
measured values along the Y axis will be zoomed in on. The MAX value
and the MIN value of the section observed will be displayed on the Y axis.
Return to the entire recording by placing CURSOR 1 on the left edge and
CURSOR 2 on the right edge.
Use CE to leave the FOCUS function and reset the CURSOR 1 (2) so that
when F1 is pressed again, they will be positioned on the left and right
edges.
• F2 MEASURED VALUE
Keys F1 and F4 can be used to select various measured values and
display them in the line graphic.
1. Select the required signal (measured value) with F1 and F4 and
confirm with .
2. Leave the measured value selection menu with CE.
The selected signal will be displayed in the recording window in the upper
right corner. The abbreviations:
 

Graphic display 105
DIS2116 HBM
18.2 Center of gravity
The center of gravity of a loaded scale is displayed. The scale must consist of at least 3 load
cells to display the center of gravity.
Access: Key , INFORMATION I GRAPHIC
CENTER OF GRAVITY (Enter)
Display illustration: Center of gravity
 

Center of gravity display for a scale consisting of 1 segment and 4 load cells. The individual
load cells are displayed with their addresses; in this example segment 1 with the addresses
11 .... 14. The determined center of gravity is marked by an ”X. ”Error” is displayed if the
scale platform is lifted.
No center of gravity is determined with a load of < 1 d, the message ”No load” is displayed.
NOTE
To ensure that the center of gravity determination works correctly, the load cell addresses
must be assigned clockwise during scale configuration as shown in the center of gravity
determination example above. If the scale consists of several segments, the load cell
arrangement must be implemented the same way in each segment.

19 Parameter factory settings
When the DIS2116 is delivered, it comes with specific factory settings:
• The (7-digit) production number is entered
As the DIS2116 has undergone certain tests during production, the following information can
deviate from zero:
• Legal-for-trade counter (Menu ”INFORMATION SCALE” or F1 key with symbol i)
• Sensor-overflow counter (Menu ”INFORMATION BUSSCAN”)
 

When restoring the factory settings (”FACTORY SETTINGS DIS2116” menu), the
parameters described above are set to their default values.

20 Monitoring functions and error messages
20.1 Monitoring functions
The following monitoring functions are implemented for load cell connection:
• Detecting whether a load cell is connected to COM1
• Detecting failure of a load cell
• Sensor input signal exceeds the range -160 %…+160 % of the maximum capacity
(NOMINAL VALUE)
There are also other monitoring functions available:
• Short circuit of output voltages OUT1 and OUT2
• Error in parameter storage (SD card)
Error message display:
To indicate an error, [Erxxxx] appears on the display for 3 s (Erxxxx is the error code). The
last ten errors can also be read in the parameter menu (”INFORMATION ERROR LIST”).
