1.2 Design and Function of the Scale Part
[374|376|378|703|704|264|274|284|285|954|957|959|963]
1.2.1 Design [374|376|378|703|704|284|285]
The scale consists of the following main parts: the frame with up to four load
cells, a display unit, a key panel and a power supply unit.
1.2.2 Function [374|376|378|703|704|284|285]
The action of a force causes elastic deformation of the load cell. A
corresponding analog signal is supplied, which changes linearly with the force
applied. This signal is measured and evaluated by the scale electronics and
displayed as a weight value. Figure 2: Functional diagram [704|284|285]
shows the functional diagram for scales with separated modules for
determining and displaying the weight. Figure 3: Functional diagram
[374|376|378|703]
shows the functional diagram for scales with a single electronic module for
weight measurement and display.

1.3 Design and Function of the Head Slider [264|274|284|285]
The head slider uses the measuring method of visual reading off from the insert
scale. Absolute and relative graduation marks are scanned to determine
lengths. Once the slider has moved more than two absolute marks, the absolute
position can be determined and a length is output.
Figure 3: Absolute (left) and relative graduation marks (right) [264|274|284|285]
The following section provides an overview of all maintenance jobs which can
be carried out.
2.1 Adjustment of Scales
[374|376|378|703|704|284|285|954|957|959|963]
2.1.1 General [374|376|378|703|704|284|285|954|957|959|963]
To compensate for linear measuring deviations, which occur e.g. as a result of
gravity variations in different gravity zones, the scale offers an adjustment
feature. This adjustment must also be carried out whenever the load cell is
replaced.
seca scales with modular NEC-G2 electronics are fitted with a softwarecontrolled adjustment device that is controlled using the existing operating
elements. When developing the adjustment device, special attention was paid
to the following requirements:
It must be possible to readjust scales without any additional external
equipment/tools.
The readjustment device must be admissible for verification.
It must be possible to readjust the scales without calibrated test weights.
The readjustment device must be protected against inadvertent use.
Scale adjustment can be carried out manually as described in section 0 „Scales
fitted with the new, modular electronics are equipped with a calibration counter
allowing a software adjustment to be carried out in accordance with the
requirements for verified scales. Each completed adjustment procedure is
registered by the calibration counter, i.e. the number is automatically
incremented by 1. Non-approved scales are also fitted with a counter which
counts the number of adjustments.

2.1.2 Calibration Counter / Number of Adjustments
[374|376|378|703|704|284|285|954|957|959|963]
Scales fitted with the new, modular electronics are equipped with a calibration
counter allowing a software adjustment to be carried out in accordance with the
requirements for verified scales. Each completed adjustment procedure is
registered by the calibration counter, i.e. the number is automatically
incremented by 1. Non-approved scales are also fitted with a counter which
counts the number of adjustments.
2.1.3 Adjustment Mode and Displaying the Calibration Counter
Contents [374|376|378|703|704|954|957|959|963]
To begin readjustment or to display the calibration counter contents, start the
scale while pressing another key at the same time. The contents of the
calibration counter (i.e. the number of adjustment procedures carried out so far)
are then displayed for 18 seconds (flashing).
While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more
than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.
2.1.4 Adjustment Mode and Displaying the Calibration Counter
Contents [284|285]
To begin readjustment or to display the calibration counter contents, start the
scale and press another key while the display shows seca. The contents of the
calibration counter (i.e. the number of adjustment procedures carried out so far)
are then displayed for 18 seconds (flashing).
While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more
than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.
2.1.5 Placing Adjustment Weights on the Scale
[374|376|378|703|704|284|285|954|957|959|963]
Once you have switched to adjustment mode as described in section 0 or 2.1.4,
the display shows the text “CAL”. By pressing any key except for the start key
for more than 1.5 seconds, the actual readjustment mode is activated. The
display reads "dec". The weight value currently measured then appears. The
scale is in decrementing state. To switch over from decrementing to
incrementing mode and vice versa press a key for more than 1.5 seconds with a
test weight placed on the scale. The display will read “dec” or “inc” accordingly.
The test weight is at least 25% of the max. load of the scale (we recommend
approx. 66-75%).
17.08.11/RLEU/ARI/MRE 8/36 30-34-00-812a
Maintenance seca
Adjustment can now be completed by pressing a key until the display shows
“Sto”. The scale computes and stores a new linearity coefficient and switches
off automatically. Your scale is now adjusted. Remove the test weight.
Note:
Timeout control is not active for the phase of placing and confirming the test weight.
To minimize adjustment errors, readjustment can only be carried out using a test
weight above 25 % and below 100 % of the max. load. Otherwise the error “Er:x:15”
will be displayed.
2.1.6 Example: Adjusting a Scale with 100 g Graduations
[703|704|284|285]
The selected test weight is 200 kg.
The current weight shown on the display is 199.7 kg (max. deviation of 300 g).
In this example, you must switch the scale to incrementing mode to carry out
readjustment. When the tare/hold key has been pressed (for more than 1.5
seconds), "inc" starts flashing.
Now increase the value by the first 10 g (by briefly pressing the tare/hold key).
After this has been repeated x times, the value 200.0 (rounded!) appears on the
display although the internal measured value still is 199.95 kg (not rounded!).
To correct this rounding error, increment the value five times by 10 g to obtain
exactly 200.00 as the calculated value.
Complete the readjustment procedure as described in section 2.1.5.
2.1.7 Example: Adjusting a Baby Scale with 10 g Graduations
[374|376]
The selected test weight is 15 kg. The current weight shown on the display is
14.970 kg (max. deviation of 30 g).
In this example, you must switch the scale to incrementing mode to carry out
readjustment. When the tare/hold key has been pressed (for more than 1.5
seconds), "inc" starts flashing.
Now increase the value by the first 1 g (by briefly pressing the tare/hold key).
Each alteration is shown on the display.

2.2 Adjusting the Head Slider [284|285]
The head slider electronics must be readjusted whenever the electronics are
replaced. Please refer to the instructions in the operating manual.
2.3 Displaying the Gravity Factor
[374|376|378|703|704|284|285|954|957|959|963]
To view the gravity factor, the scale must first be switched to adjustment mode
(see section 0 or 2.1.4).
As soon as the text “CAL” is displayed, press a key briefly (less than 1.5
seconds).
The display shows “GAL”.
Pressing a key for more than 1.5 seconds displays the gravity factor set. The
gravity factor is shown in mm/s².
The scale switches off again automatically after 18 seconds.
Note [376|378|704|285]:
On verified scales, the gravity factor can only be displayed as long as the calibration
count is 1.

Maintenance seca
2.4 Setting the Gravity Factor [374|703|284|954]:
The gravity factor can only be set on non-approved models [374|703|284].
Before the gravity factor can be set, the scale must first be switched to
adjustment mode (see section 0 or 2.1.4).
While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more
than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.
As soon as the text “CAL” is displayed, press a key briefly (less than 1.5
seconds). The display shows “GAL”.
Then press a key (for more than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to the mode
for gravity factor setting. The display shows “dec” and then the gravity factor
currently set. The gravity factor is shown in mm/s².
The scale is in decrementing state.
If the gravity factor displayed matches the target value, no further setting is
required and the menu item can be closed.
If the gravity factor shown on the display needs to be adjusted, it must be
altered by pressing a key until it matches the gravity factor required. Estimate
whether the required gravity factor is easier to reach by decrementing or by
incrementing. To toggle between decrementing mode and incrementing mode,
press a key (for more than 1.5 seconds.) (Display shows dec or inc.)
Press the key for less than 1.5 seconds to increase or decrease the gravity
factor displayed by 5 mm/s². Repeat the procedure until the gravity factor
displayed and the target gravity factor match.
Gravity factor setting can now be completed by pressing a key until the display
shows “Sto”. The scale stores the new gravity factor and switches off
automatically.
