able to show changes in weight. It bears no relation to decimal
point location.
* Resolution is Minimum Division divided by the Maximum Capacity,
and the Minimum Display Resolution of indicator is 1/3000. Be
sure that your setting combination is acceptable by it.
* If resolution is set greater than 1/30000. Display will read
“--Erro” after setup the Minimum Division and return of the
previous step to setup the Maximum Capacity.

or press ON/OFF twice to start working.
6.3 CALIBRATION
The purpose of calibration is to proof the weight shown on the display
same as real one, hence an accurate weighing result can be obtained.
With Zero Calibration, you can set the weighing result of an empty
weighing device obtained by the indicator as your zero point. With
Span Calibration, the indicator obtains another weighing result
when a load is placed on the weighing device. The two weighing results
will allow the indicator to adjust the linearity between these two
points as straight as possible intangibly. This gives the indicator
to convert the weight detected precisely and accurately calculating
the weight that lies at any points in between. The closer the Span
Calibration to the maximum capacity is set, the more accurate the
weighing result can be achieved.
In the real world, sometimes it is impossible to calibrate the
weighing device at its maximum capacity weight. But by using a
standard mass at the weight as close as possible to the maximum
capacity possible will be adequate.
The mechanism should be calibrated when you have one of the following
situations;
a. The system is first installed.
b. Any part of the weighing device is changed.
c. If any drifts is detected.
* During calibration, the weighing system must be kept stable for
accurate adjustment.
* Use a high quality standard mass.
6.3.1 Zero Calibration
Procedures:
a. Press M+ to enter the setup mode when turn on W10.
b. Press ZERO or TARE to select 3-CAL and press M+ to enter calibration
mode.
c. Display will now read cAL.-0 . Wait and confirm that there is
nothing on the weighing platform and the motion detection
3-CAL cAL.-0
00000
indicator is off.
d. Press M+ to perform Zero Calibration.
e. Display will show “. . . .” before it completes the Zero
Calibration.
f. Once Zero Calibration is down, it will move to the next step
and display will show “00000” for Span Calibration.
g. Place the mass on the weighing device and manually key in the
weight of it on the indicator, then press M+ for SET.
h. Display will show “. . . .” before it completes the Span Calibration
and then will return to the main menu.
* If the date input is not acceptable, it will show error messages.
Please refer to the troubleshooting guide for more information about
error messages.
