19. SCALE METER CALIBRATION

All analog input and analog output ranges of the meter have been digitally calibrated at the
factory prior to shipment using calibration equipment certified to NIST standards. Calibration
constants are stored digitally in non-volatile memory in EEPROM on the signal conditioner
board and analog output board. As a result, these boards may be changed without requiring
meter recalibration.

If recalibration is required, the meter may be returned to the factory or to any authorized
distributor. Easy calibration of DC and load cell signal conditioner ranges is possible using our
Instrument Setup software. To allow computer aided calibration, an RS232 or RS485 interface
card must be installed in the meter. This card may be installed temporarily and be removed
following calibration. Step-by-step instructions and advanced calibration software are available
from the factory.
