Specifies number of full-scale graduations. Value should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental limits on the useful
system resolution.
Span Gain is related to A/D integration time. The larger the span
gain, the higher the internal resolution, but the slower the update
speed. Note that the scale must be re-calibrated whenever this parameter is altered. See Appendix C for more information.
Selects the range within which the scale will automatically zero. Note
that the scale must be in standstill to automatically zero. Selections
are in Display Divisions.
Selects the range within which the scale may be zeroed. Note that the
indicator must be in standstill to zero the scale.
Sets the level at which motion is detected by comparing the present
display update with the previous one. If motion is not detected for two
seconds or more, scale is in standstill and can process a Print or Zero
command. Maximum value varies depending on local regulations.
Averages weight readings to produce higher stability. The higher the
filter setting, the greater the stability but the slower the indicator’s
response time. Choose 8 unless a very fast response is needed.
Selects the desired formula which determines the point at which the
indicator shows overload. All selections are based on the primary unit
selected in F8.
"FS" = Full scale in primary units.
Selects the primary base unit to be used in the calibration process.

CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION
6.1 CALIBRATION OVERVIEW
The scale is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in F16 (Zero) and F17 (Span) of the
Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the scale's non-volatile memory - F16 the zero
value (deadweight) and F17 the span value (test weight). The minimum test weight that can be
used is 1% of full-scale capacity. After the two calibration procedures are executed successfully,
you should record both calibration values in Table 6-1 using the F18 View procedure.
In the unlikely event that either value is lost while in the field, the setup menu makes provisions for
re-entering these values via F19 and F20, thus eliminating the need for re-calibration with test
weights.
NOTE: This chapter assumes that the scale is in Setup (“F”) Menu mode. If the scale is not in
Setup Menu mode, refer to Chapter 3 for instructions.
6.2 ZERO CALIBRATION (F16)
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 16", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
zero calibration menu. The display will momentarily show "C 0" followed by a value. This value
is the internal A/D count and can prove useful when trying to troubleshoot setup problems.
2. After making sure that there are no test weights on the platform, press the ZERO key again to
zero out the displayed value.
3. Press the ACCU key to save the zero point value. The display will show "EndC0" momentarily,
then revert back up to F16. At this time, proceed to the F17 span calibration to complete scale
calibration.
6.3 SPAN CALIBRATION (F17)
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 17", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
span calibration menu.
2. The display will momentarily show "C 1" for the span calibration, followed by a value with one
flashing digit. This value will be zero with the Decimal Point parameter selected in F10. Place
the test weight on the weighing platform.
3. Use the directional keys (shown in Figure 6-1 below) to adjust the displayed value to the actual
test weight value. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the ZERO key. Pressing the PRINT
key or the LB/KG key will change the position of the flashing digit.

4. After setting the exact value, press the ACCU key to save the value.
5. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "EndC1" momentarily, then revert back
up to F17. At this time it is suggested that the calibration values be recorded for future use (see
Section 6.4).
6. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the
indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration.
"Err0" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is larger than the full
capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.
"Err1" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is smaller than 1% of the full
capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.
"Err2" - The internal resolution of the scale is not high enough to accept the calibration value.
Select a larger parameter for the Span Gain (F2). SEE APPENDIX C FOR MORE
INFORMATION.
6.4 VIEW CALIBRATION VALUES (F18)
Note: The values displayed in this procedure are valid only after a successful calibration has been
performed using F16 and F17.
1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 18", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter
View calibration menu.
2. The display will momentarily show "CAL 0" followed by a value. This value is the zero calibration value and should be recorded in the table below. Press any key to continue.
3. The display will momentarily show "CAL 1" followed by another value. This value is the span calibration value and should also be recorded in the table below. Press any key to return to
upper level (F18).

The Print Ticket Mode is designed specifically for a serial printer and is selected by setting
A6 to “1”. Figure B-3 shows the fixed format of the print ticket.
For printers with limited buffers, this mode supports DTR pin handshaking. The DTR pin
from the serial printer is wired to the indicator’s RXD pin which then functions as a CTS pin.
Figure B-4 shows a suggested cable diagram for interfacing to a serial printer. Refer to the
printer’s user manual to confirm which pin is the DTR pin.

APPENDIX C: DETERMINING PROPER SPAN GAIN (F2)
C.1 SPAN GAIN OVERVIEW
The Span Gain parameter found in F2 of the Setup Menu is directly related to the ADC (Analog to
Digital Converter) integration time. This means that the lower the setting, the higher the number of
measurements per second. A span gain setting of 25 produces about 25 to 30 measurements per
second, while a span gain of 200 produces only about 3 or 4 measurements per second.
There is really no wrong setting for span gain – except in two cases. Using a low setting for a high
resolution, low output system could yield instability. Using a high setting in a high output system
could yield non-linearity.
C.2 SETTING THE INITIAL VALUE FOR SPAN GAIN
1. Determine the number of desired external graduations and choose the corresponding value
listed in Table C-1 under the number closest to your full-scale input range in millivolts.
2. Enter the Setup Menu and save this number for the Span Gain parameter in F2.
3. Perform a system calibration. If the calibration proves unsuccessful, or you wish to view the
internal counts, proceed to the next set of instructions.
C.3 VIEWING THE INTERNAL COUNTS
1. Enter the zero calibration menu (F16) and follow steps 1 to 3, but do not save the zero point.
2. After pressing ZERO to zero the offset, place the test weight(s) on the platform. The displayed
count is the internal count. If the count remains on zero, check your load cell connections.
3. At full scale, the displayed count should be a minimum of 2 times the desired external
graduations. However, for maximum stability, a ratio of 6:1 or higher is recommended.
4. If the displayed count is large enough, remove the test weight(s), re-zero the indicator if
necessary, and proceed with the calibration. If the displayed number is not large enough,
increase the Span Gain to the next highest choice in the Setup Menu and re-calibrate.
