3.3 Advanced Calibration
Another way to enter the loaded weight into the
indicator is with the advanced calibration feature. This
method allows the calibration of several trucks to be
centrally controlled. The driver does not have to enter
the setup mode of the indicator, even for calibration.
After setting in the tare weight, the driver need only
record two sets of numbers:
• The truck and trailer loaded weight shown by
the platform scale.
• The channel 1 and channel 2 weights recorded
on the
PL9700 while the truck is on the
platform scale.
The following steps are used for the advanced
calibration, which can be done on an empty truck, if
necessary.
1. Press the Menu key for 5 seconds until the
information display shows Setup Menu.
After releasing the Menu key, the information
display will show Setup selection and the
weight display will show Setup.
2. Press the Up or Down key until the
information display shows Set Advanced
calibration.
3. Select the channel to calibrate by pressing the
CH-1 softkey or the CH-2 softkey.
NOTE: For this example, we will assume you selected CH-1.
4. Enter the number that was earlier recorded as
the number shown on the indicator’s weight
display for channel 1 while sitting on the
platform scale. Change the numbers in the
same manner as then setting the original
loaded-weight calibration. See “Entering the
Loaded Weight” on page 5. Press the
Enter
softkey when completed.
5. The information display will show Enter Ch. 1
Legal weight .
6. Enter the number that was earlier recorded as
the legal truck weight from the platform scale.
Change the numbers in the same manner as in
Step 4, above.
7. Press the Enter softkey when completed.
The information display will show Setup
selection.
8. Press the Cancel softkey to return to normal
operation.
