Factoring - Siemens milltronics BW500 Instruction Manual

1. Rerun on-line calibration to verify the deviation: press
2. Verify the mechanics of the belt scale: carry out material tests to ensure the
readings are correct. (See page 35,)
3. If the mechanics are functioning correctly, perform an initial span using P388. (See
page 42.)

Factoring

For optimum accuracy in the factoring results, a routine zero calibration is

recommended.
To calculate the value of a new or unknown test weight to the current span, the factoring
procedure is used.
