Calibration – Step 1
Tare Calibration
Screen
To view this screen, press the CAL key and TARE key.
Press the PERFORM TARE key to start the tare. Make sure the conveyor is
running empty when you press PERFORM TARE.
The tare value gets averaged over the belt length, thus the tare will take several
seconds (one complete belt revolution) to complete. The tare is complete when
“Tare Complete” gets to 100%.
In many operations, you might initiate a tare operation only once per day, or
even once every few days. In muddy operations, it is advisable to tare the
system right after completing a load.
Calibration – Step 2
Weight Calibration
Screen
To view this screen, press the CAL key and WEIGHT key. Refer to the steps
below:
Note: It is recommended to obtain the actual weight of three or four loads for
each crop harvested. Also, it is recommended that you tare the conveyor before
harvesting each load being used for calibration.

set actual weight.
4) Repeat steps 1-3 and enter all actual weights. Press EXIT key when

c) Press SHOW CAL LOADS key.

press the EXIT key.
e) If errors of any loads are too high you can uncheck the load by pressing the
CAL ON/OFF key. Press PERFORM CAL key again if you uncheck any

Note: When you calibrate weight for a crop, all the data that was previously
recorded and will be recorded (including logged data) for the crop will be
adjusted to the same calibration.
