Step 5 - Calibration Success or Failure

Calibration Success

The calibration process is successful if the Scale Display blinks between CAL P and CAL S, and the
7-segment display scrolls between
NOTE P = pass; S = Save and Reset the Scale.
There are two ways to finalize the calibration process:
After the Scale Display starts blinking between CAL P and CAL S, remove the weights from the scale.

Touch the Scale Zero button for the scale to reset. The MP6000 scanner/scale emits three short beeps to

indicate that the calibration was successful and all parameters are saved.
or
Scan the Scale Reset bar code (or issue an equivalent RSM command to the MP6000 scanner/scale). All
programming bar codes are available in the MP6000 Bar Code Programmers Guide, p/n 72E- 172633-xx.
NOTE Scale Reset can be scanned at anytime in the procedure to exit the calibration process with no
impact (as long as a Legal Parameter was not changed during calibration).
The scale is ready to measure weight.

Calibration Failure

It is possible to encounter a failure condition in which the calibration process is interrupted. In this case, use the
error message indicators to fix the problem and re-start the calibration process.
If calibration failed, the Scale Display blinks CAL F, and the error code
(see Table A-2 on page A-6

Possible Reasons for a Fail

•
The scale returns to its prior state if
blinks HOLD for the entire 90 second time period, and then times out. This condition does not display a
calibration failure because the process was unable to find a zero weight threshold. This may occur if the
platter was not re-installed or seated correctly, or if the weight on the scale is outside a +/- 2% maximum
capacity range (+/- 0.6 lb or +/- 0.3 kg). It can also be a mechanical issue if the scale was not installed
correctly.
•
The scale returns to its prior state if
detect a load of 25 lb (or 11 kg, depending on the units of measure programmed). This may occur if the
correct weights were not placed on the platter before pressing the Scale Zero button. It can also be a
mechanical issue if the scale was not installed correctly.
In either case the scale can not accept the calibration, and returns to its prior state. There is no impact on the
sealed calibration counter or the scale legal parameter counter. However, if calibration fails, the scale is
non-operational until the problem is fixed and the scale is successfully calibrated. In this case, re-enter the
Calibration Mode (Step 1 - Electronic Entry into Calibration Mode on page
reset and can be left on before re-entering Calibration Mode.

Calibration Mode Exit Conditions

Calibration Mode exits under the following conditions:
•
No response is received from an external operator for 90 consecutive seconds, or the operator turns the
MP6000 off. The 90 second timeout does not apply at
