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 PL9710 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.
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.
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 Advanced
calibration Ch. 1 and then show Setup selection.
8. Press the Cancel softkey to return to normal
operation.
Channel 2 is calibrated in a similar manner.
