Load a standard force on the gauge. Wait a moment for the force
to stabilize. The current value (2) should equal the standard force
applied.

If the values do not match, press “ZERO” and “MODE” keys to
correct the standard input value (3).

Press “MENU” to enter the next calibration point. After any of the
calibration points have been completed, touch “LOG” to exit the
calibration mode. Then save the calibration or discard by pressing
“Yes” or “No”.

After completing the calibration of the 5th point, the confirma-
tion window will automatically ask to “Save and Exit” by selecting
“Yes” or “No”. (Figure 2-33)

Press “ZERO” or “MODE” to select, then press “MENU”. If “Yes”
is selected, “Calibration Complete!” is displayed.

NOTE:
1. Ensure that the tare of attachment has been cleared before
calibration.

2. For higher measuring precision throughout the test range,
calibrating a point with a force at full scale is recommended.

3. Compression and tension calibrations are saved separately.
The force gauge can identify the direction of the force, but each
must be completed in a separate procedure.
