4.3.2 Scaling Without Known Loads

To scale without known inputs, calculate input values based on the transducer
specifications and manually enter them on the front-panel push buttons. The following
example assumes load cells with these specifications:

Maximum Load: 100.0 lbs
Output: 3.1 mV/V
Sensor Excitation: 10 Vdc
Output: 31mV = (3.1 mV/V) x (10 V)

1.

Determine the correct values for IN1 and IN!2 based on the load cell specifications.
In most cases, RD1 and RD!2 are equal to the minimum and maximum of the
transducer output span. The example assumes RD1 and RD!2 are equal to the
range of the load (RD1 = 0 and RD!2 = 100.0). Calculate IN1 and IN!2 using the

loadcell output span and the following equation:

IN = (Sensor Output) x (Natural Gain) x (Multiplier).

Table 4-3. Natural Gain

2. Determine the multiplier by the Input Resolution setting (R.2 in the RD.CF menu)
and the input range selected. Typically R.2=4 is suitable for most applications.

Table 4-4. Input Resolution Multiplier

Input Range R.2=4 R.2=3 R.2=2 R.2=1 R.2=0

3. Determine IN1 and IN!2 input range and resolution. The example selects the
0 to 100 mV range and 10 uV resolution (R.2=4 ).

Example: IN1 = (0 mV) x (100 cts/mV) x (1.000) = 0

IN!2 = (31 mV) x (100 cts/mV) x (1.000) = 3100
RD1 = 0000
RD!2 = 100.0

4. Press MENU button until the meter shows RD.S.O .
