In the column "Load, kg" should be entered load values in kg.
To taring the display device the following actions should be taken:
1) Run "EUROSENS Display User Configurator". Wait for the start of the program.
2) Connect the display device to PC with Eurosens Destination-01 service kit. Wait till the display device data will be loaded in the program.
3) Go to the menu item "Settings" and de-select "Calibration Mode" (Fig.39).
4) Go to the tab "Taring" and click "Delete all Records" to clear the taring table.
5) Provide a minimum load on the axle of the vehicle.
6) Measure the voltage at the output of the sensor with a voltmeter (multimeter).
Note: Voltage value you can see on second display screen (if it is configured to work with Analog Input), or third display screen (if it is configured to work as "Analog input" with axle load sensors).
Fig.47
8) Enter in the first line of the table in the entry "Value" voltage value corresponding to the minimum axle load (Fig. 47). Load value in this table (column "Load, kg") must be zero.
Fig.48
9) Load vehicle to get axle load increasing. Wait for measured voltage stabilization.
Note: for easy taring we recommend increase vehicle load with steps, multipled to round numbers (5, 10, 100 etc).
10) Perform art.7.
11) Enter in following row of table in "Value" column current voltage value from sensor
(Fig.48). Enter in "Load, kg" column value of added cargo load.
12) Repeat steps 9-11 till until you reach the desired maximum axle load of the vehicle (Fig.49).
13) Click "Save Taring data" and the display device will reboot with new settings.
14) Check after the display device reboot that all data is saved correctly.
15) Disconnect the display device from service kit. Taring is finished.

4.8 Working in "Adder" mode
The display device can work as the adder similar to sensors. In this mode it is allowed to connect not more than 10 slave sensors through K-Line, RS232 or Rs485 interfaces. The connection scheme of sensors looks as following:
DisplayF1
FLS (FFS) FLS (FFS)
Slave 10 Master
Slave 1
K-Line, RS232 or RS485
The process of programming devices occurs in several stages.
4.8.1 Master -Slave
Setting up Adder settings display device:
1) Select Adder address.
2) Fill in a table of the slave sensors:
Fig.51
• Each sensor must have unique address, corresponding tank volume (according to location on vehicle).
• Min and max values are selected according to the requirements used by TMS.
• For unused sensor set zero address.
Example is shown on Fig.51.
4.8.2 Slave
Configures slave sensors:
• As TMS address you must enter the address of Master-sensor, as FLS address enter the address of given slave sensor from the table (Fig.51).
• Untick "Ignore".
• Set in the field "Output", mode "K-line" (for Dominator AF) or field "Digital Output", modes "K-Line", "RS232" and "RS485" (for Dominator RS).
• Max and Min values must be the same as shown in table of Master-sensor (Fig.51).
• Automatic data producing mode "Output Off".
• Calibration/taring sensors – as usual.
See example of slave sensor settings in Fig.52.

Fig.54 4.10 Features of work the FFS in the "Adder" mode
Wiring in this case is the same as art.4.8 (Fig.50). The changes apply only to the programming the mode of the adder. The sensor number 1 is installed in the supply pipe, the sensor number 2 in the return pipe. For instructions on the sensor, the volume of which must be subtracted from the total, it is necessary in the fields "Minimal Value" and "Maximal Value" to set the value to zero. Display device allows us to serve up to 5 differential circuits (5 sensors supply line and the return line 5 sensors).
Example in the case of connecting the two flow sensors in differential mode is shown below
(Fig.54).
Fig.55
It allowed the use of flow sensors and level sensors. At the same time the total number of all devices not can exceed 10. An example in the case of connection of two level sensors and two flow sensors (not differential mode) is shown below (Fig.56):
