Figure 4-2. WZERO Calibration Display
To calibrate the indicator using the front panel, do the
following:
1. Place the indicator in setup mode (dis play
reads
Scale Configuration
) and remove all
weight from the scale platform. If your test
weights require hooks or chains, place the
hooks or chains on the scale for zero
calibration.
2. With the
SCALES
menu highlighted, press the
d o w n
key, then se lect the scale to be
calibrated. Press
d o w n
again (
G R A D S
parameter highlighted), then press
left
to
highlight the
C A L I B R
submenu (se e
Figure 4-1). Press
d o w n
to go to zero
calibration (
WZERO
). See Figure 4-2 on
3. Ensure scale is empty, then press
down
again
to show the current WZERO value, then press
the
Calibrate
softkey to calibrate zero. When
complete, the new A/D count for the zero
calibration is displayed. Press
enter
to save the
zero calibration value and go to the next
prompt (
WVAL
).
4. With
WVAL
displayed, press
down
to show the
stored calibration weight value. Use the
numeric keypad to enter the actual value of
the calibration test weights, then press
enter
to
save the value and go to span calibration
(
WSPAN
).
5. Place test weights on scale. Press
down
again
to show the current WSPAN value, then press
the
Calibrate
softkey to calibrate span. When
complete, the new A/D count for the span
calibration is displayed. Press
enter
again to
save the span calibration value and go to the
next prompt (
WLIN
).
6. Five-point lin earization (us ing the WLIN
parameter) provides increased scale accuracy
by calibrating the indicator at up to five
additional points between the zero and span
calibrations.
Linearization is optional: if you choose not to
perform linearization,
skip the WLIN
parameter; if l
inearization val ues have
previously been entered, these values are reset
to zero during calibration. WZ
ERO and
WSPAN must be calibrated before adding
linearization points; WLIN val ues must be
less than the WSP AN va lue and must not
duplicate WZERO or WSPAN.
To perform linearization, follow the
procedure below:
With
WLIN
displayed, Press
down
to go to the
first linearization point (
POINT 1
). Press
down
again to show the weight value prompt (
WGT
1
), then
down
once more to show the weight
value. Place test weights on the scale, then use
the numeric ke ypad to enter the ac tual test
weight value. Press
enter
to save the value and
move to the calibration (
CAL 1
) prompt. Press
down
to show the current ca libration va lue,
then press the
Calibrate
softkey to calibrate the
linearization point. When complete, the A/D
count for the li near calibration is displayed.
Press
enter
again to save the calibration value
and go to the next prompt (
POINT 2
).
Repeat for up to five linearization points. To
exit the linearization parameters, press the
up
key to return to WLIN.
7. The optional rezero
function is used to
remove a calibration offset when hooks or
chains are used to hang the test weights.
NOTE: The rezero function cannot be used with
five-point linear calibration.
• If no other apparatus was used to hang the
test weights during calibration, remove
the test weights and press
up
to return to
the CALIBR submenu.
• If h ooks or chain s were used du ring
calibration, remove these and the test
weights from the scale. With all weight
removed, go to the REZERO parameter,
then press
down
to show the current zero
value. Press the
Calibrate
softkey to adjust
the zero and span calibration values. Press
enter
or
up
to return to the CALIBR
submenu.
8. Press
up
to return to the S CALES menu, or
press the
Save and Exit
softkey to exit setup
mode.
