Introduction
DLC-6M
6M is a versatile digital load controller used for process control and automation,
bagging and filling, bottling and many such applications. Due to its industry standard
communication protocols and field programmable scale functions it is used for all kinds of
weighing applications and process control automation. Powerful calibration options including
electronic calibration without test weights supports easy and fast start-up
start up and service. Large 6
digit LED weight display (red 0.56 inch)
inch with weight status allows good readability.
The display is made to EU type approval for use up to 10,000 counts. It has internal
100,000 counts. Field programmable relays for better customization according to user needs. It
has large remote display interface to replicate process value on to 6 digits 4 inch 7 segment
displays for better read-out.
out. It can be programmed in two major metrics used in India Kg. or
Newton. It is field programmable to switch between two metrics.
The indicator / controller comes with an option of any one analog re-transmission
transmission i.e. 0 –
10VDc, 4-20mA or -10VDc
10VDc to +10VDc. It also comes with RJ

Menu Flow
DLC-6M has unique menu flow that allows user to navigate to the required operation
point and modify the parameters as and when required.
In normal run mode display will show
00042.0
the value of load. To enter the device
menu press MODE key.
This is the calibration menu. Here user
Pass 1
can calibrate the display with the
weighing system.
This menu is for company calibration of

any one analog output options if any.
This menu allows user to set the
Rly st
settings of relay i.e. relay mode either to
operate in alarm or control mode and
also allows to change relay set points.
This menu option allows user to change

value of newton that will be used to
convert KG to Newton. Normally system
is calibrated in KG metric as per user’s
convenience.

Calibration
At normal run mode by pressing MODE key user can navigate to calibration menu “PASS
1” as shown in the MENU FLOW chapter.
This is the calibration menu. Here user can
Pass 1
calibrate the display with the weighing system.
Press ENT key for next step
Enter calibration unlock password 202009 using

SHFT and UP keys. The blinking digit is the
cursor position and it can be changed using
SHFT key. Press ENT for next step – ref A
Here user needs to specify in which metric the
Kg nt
system is being calibrated i.e. KG or N. Press ENT
key to set
By default it will be KG as shown. User can
K
Kg
change the value by pressing UP key and once
set, to register the change press ENT key and
move on to next step – ref B
Here user needs to enter or set the decimal
Dp
point place to see in the process value i.e.
2000.1 or 200.01 as per the requirement. Press
ENT key to set
The decimal point location can be changed using
0000.00
UP key. Once set as per requirement press ENT
key to register the change and move on to next
option. Here dp value is 2 – ref C ADI ARTECH TRANSDUCERS PVT. LTD.
Here user needs to set the least count that is

required. Press ENT key to set
DLC

Here user can set the desired value using UP key and
0000.02
once set press ENT key to register the change and
move on to next step – ref D
Here user can set the total weighing capacity of the
range
system. Press ENT key to set
Here user can set the total weighing capacity as 200
00200.0
Kg as an example. User can set desired value using
UP key and SHFT key. Once desired value set press
ENT key to register the change – ref E
Here display needs to register the tare state of the
tare
system. At this point keep the system at TARE state
and press ENT key to register the change and move
to next step – ref F
Here apply the known load / weight and press ENT
load
key to set the value of load / weight applied
Here if user has applied 100 Kg load to the system
00100.0
enter 100.0 as shown and press ENT key to register
the change and complete the calibration – ref G
For user’s understanding purpose we can take an example of 10 T weighing capacity system with
least count of 1 Kg and decimal point at xxx.xxx as below ADI ARTECH TRANSDUCERS PVT. LTD.
System Capacity = 10000 Kg or 10 T
Lease Count = 1 Kg
Decimal Point = 000.000
The calibration steps to be carried out are as shown in next page.

1. In run mode press MODE key and navigate to PASS 1 menu as shown in MENU FLOW
2. Once at Pass 1 press ENT key to enter calibration unlock password. Please refer to ref A as
shown in calibration flow. Once password is entered press ENT key to enter the calibration
process.
3. Select the desired unit of loading Kg or Newton.
Newton. Press ENT key to select the unit. Please refer
to ref B as shown in calibration flow. Once desired unit is selected press ENT key to save the
change and move to next step.
4. At dp menu user is required to set the decimal point as required. In our example we need
decimal point as 000.000 i.e. 10.000 T is what we want to see and values after decimal point
will be the value of Kg. Once decimal point is set press ENT key to save the change and move
to set the least count of the system. Please refer to ref C ass shown in calibration flow for
decimal point.
5. Next we will set least count that will as 000.001 which means 1 Kg is the least that the display
will show on the display. So please set least count on display as 000.001. Please refer to ref D
for setting the least count. Once set press ENT Key to register the change as move to next
step.
6. To set the range or the weighing capacity refer ref E in the calibration flow menu. Here we
will set 010.000 as 10 T. Press ENT Key to save the change and move to next step.
7. At tare keep the system in tare condition and press ENT Key to register the change.
8. At load step apply the know load to the system and enter the value of the load. If 500 kg load
is applied then enter 000.500 and press ENT Key to complete the calibration process.
