6. Calibration ■ What is calibration? Calibration refers to the adjustment to make the displayed value consistent with the actual weight on the display of weight. ■ Definition of each mode ☞ If the power is applied while any key is being pressed on the front, you may enter the test screen mode.
■ Span Calibration The span calibration refers to the adjustment of linearity to set the actual weight consistent with the displayed value from “0” to the maximum weight as the standards in displaying the weight on the indicator. ▶ Enter Span Calibration - Apply the power supply while is being pressed on the front - TEST appears on the display.

7. Set-up ■ Set-up - Overview It means the setting works to ensure the indicator to be operated under the optimal conditions by setting F-FUNCTION properly to the operating devices and surrounding environment. - How to enter Set-up “TEST” is displayed when the power is turned on while any key is being pressed. At this time, press Key to display ST.CAL on the main display.

8. Interface ■ RS-232C Interface Name RS-232C reception RS-232C transmission RS-232C common RS-232C Interface is sensitive to electric noises. Therefore, it should be wired away from AC power cable or other electric wires. The shielded cable should be used in any case. Communication mode: It can be set from F-Function(F30~F35).

■ RS-422/485 Serial Communication (Separate Option) RS-422/485 method is more stable for electric noises than any other communication methods as it communicate signals in the voltage difference. In addition, the wiring should be done away from AC power cable or other electric wires. The shield coax cable should be used in any case.
Page 38
※ Reference Although any of the signal level conversion methods as stated above is used, there are many cases with problems occurring from the fact that the power supply (the grounding line to be exact) for the transmission side is connected from a remote distance connection through the communication line.

■ 4~20mA(0~10V) Serial Interface(Option) Name Current or Voltage Output Port Common Output port F-83 (Parts related to the analog output) Set Max. Analog Output Value Maximum analog output of 0 ~ 10V, 4 ~ 20mA can be set. Ex) If 1000 is set, the output of 10V or 20mA is done when the weight value reaches 1000.
