1. Make certain the scale platform is empty and free of debris.
2. Place the desired amount of calibrated test weights on the scale platform. A minimum of
50% of scale's capacity is required. However, 70% to 100% is recommended.
3. Press the
key.
4. If the value displayed is acceptable, press the
exact amount of test weight placed on the scale platform, and then using the
keys select the test weight amount.
5. Verify that the numbers selected are the same as the amount of the test weight and
then press the
key.
6. Starting at the left and preceding right, a series of dashes will appear on the display.
The dashes will stay on the display momentarily, then disappear, after which the display
will proceed to the next prompt.
(UNLOAD CALIBRATION WEIGHT)
After a moment, the display will change to
1. Remove the test weights from the scale platform and then press the
2. Starting at the left and preceding right, a series of dashes will appear on the display.
The dashes will stay on the display momentarily, then disappear, after which the
calibration factor will be saved and the display will proceed to the next prompt.
IMPORTANT: During the time the dashes are appearing on the display, ensure
that the loaded (or empty) scale is stable.
(Gravity Compensation)
Gravity compensation accounts for latitudes and elevations that are different from where the
scale was calibrated. In order to calculate the value for this parameter, use the gravitational
constant of the location where the scale was calibrated divided by the gravitational constant
of where the scale will be installed:
Gravitational Constant (Calibration location)
---------------------------------------------------------- = value
Gravitational Constant (Operation location)
This should give you a value close to 1 that you can enter in to compensate for variation in
gravity due to elevation/latitude.
