TJ 8300 / TJ 8500 Engineer Training Load Cell (Weigh sensor) q There are 7 -load cells in the system, six for each color and one for the waste container. q The waste system will stop automatically when the load cell reads 10 L. q The load cell is based on the principle of a bridge resistor. q The changes of the resistance in the bridge resistors is transferred to the weigh controller.

TJ 8300 / TJ 8500 Engineer Training How to Calibrate the Weigh System The weigh system comes already calibrated in the integration stage. If there is a need to replace the Load Cell (Weigh sensor) or the Weigh controller at the customer’s site, calibrate the weigh system as described below. Confidential TN 59 Ink Management Solution 10

TJ 8300 / TJ 8500 Engineer Training Step 1: Calibrate the Zero Weight q All load cells must be connected to the weigh board and the optional connection #8 must be with the short plug. q Verify that there are no ink containers on the load cell, or any other weighs. q Use KVM measuring tool (DC) to calibrate the zero weigh for all the colors, see WEIGH CONTROLLER HARDWARE ADJUSTMENTS shown below. Example: q For the cyan color (Channel 1), put the negative probe at the common test point TP_C, and the positive probe at the TP 1 test point. q Use potentiometer R 149 to calibrate the zero point. Confidential TN 59 Ink Management Solution 11

TJ 8300 / TJ 8500 Engineer Training Step 2: Calibrate the Scale q In this calibration we are calibrating the relation between the weigh and the voltage. q Place a weight (5 or 10 liter ink container). The measured voltage (X) that we will need to obtain at the test point is related to the weigh (A) that we put on the load cell 12. 5 KG = 2. 5 V X = A (Weigh) X 2. 5 (V) / 12. 5 (KG) Example: q The 5 L ink containers weigh 5. 2 KG (Tested), the voltage needed to be calibrate at the potentiometer scale for all the Channels is 1. 04 V.

TJ 8300 / TJ 8500 Engineer Training Step 3: Software Calibration A. Check the Zero weight: 1. Remove all the weights or Ink tanks from their socket 2. In the RTRun software go to Tools > Color Box > Weight Calibration, and mark the Zero weight. 3. Push color-by-color Calibration tab and Save tab when done. 4. Push the Test tab and verify that you get 0. 00 for all colors and waist. 5. Repeat above steps again if necessary. Confidential TN 59 Ink Management Solution 15

TJ 8300 / TJ 8500 Engineer Training Step 3: Software Calibration (cont. ) B. Check the Full weight: 1. Place all the Full ink containers in their sockets (10 lit. ). 2. In the RTRun software Go to RTRun > Tools > Color Box > Weight Calibration a. Select the Full Weight option. b. In the Real Weight (gr) box, enter the actual (measured) weight of the ink container. c. Example: for a full 5 -liter container, enter 5200, and for a full 10 -iter container, enter 10400 (gr).
