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.

Page 6-2

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).

B.1.1.1 RECOGNIZED HOST COMMANDS

“P” - This command is sent to the indicator to print the indicated display. The

indicator will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload.

“Z” - This command is sent to the indicator to zero the scale. The indicator will not

respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. The indicator will also not respond if it is not in gross mode or within the zero range specified in F4 of the Setup Menu.

“T” - This command is sent to the indicator to tare the scale. The indicator will not

respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. The indicator will also not respond if it displaying a negative gross value.

“G” - This command is sent to the indicator to revert to gross mode. The indicator

will not respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. The indicator will also not respond if it is not in net mode.

“N” - This command is sent to the indicator to revert to net. The indicator will not

respond if the scale is in motion, positive overload or negative overload. The indicator will also not respond if it is not in gross mode or a tare has yet to be established.

“C” - This command is sent to the indicator to toggle among the configured units.

B.1.2 PRINT TICKET MODE

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.

NOTES:

1. The TARE and NET fields are not printed unless a tare has been established in the system.

2. The ID number field is not printed if it is disabled in A7 of the User Menu.

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.
