2.2.1 Scale Base with Connector to T51P Ohaus bases with a connector can be attached to the external load cell connector (Figure 1-1, item 14). Refer to section 2.3.2 for bases without a connector. To make the connection, plug the base connector onto the external load cell connector. Then rotate the base connector’s locking ring clockwise.
The screws should be tightened to 2.5 N m (20-25 in-lb) torque to ensure a watertight seal. • Connection 2.3.2 Scale Base Without Connector to T51P or T51XW Bases without a connector must be attached to the internal load cell connector on the main J4-1 +EXE PC board. Pass the load cell cable through the strain relief (Figure 1-1, item 13 or Figure 1-2,...
The T51P is delivered in the wall mount orientation with the connections exiting below the display. The rear housing may be reversed so the connections exit above the display when the T51P is placed horizontally on a bench. To reverse the rear housing, remove the four Phillips head screws, carefully rotate the housing 180°, and reinstall the screws.
5000 Series Indicators EN-15 Menu Navigation Enter the menu by pressing the TARE Menu button until MENU is displayed. When the button is released, the Legal for Trade status is displayed, followed by the first menu. Press the No or Back button to move to a different menu.
EN-16 5000 Series Indicators 3.3.1 Zero Calibration Zero calibration uses one calibration point. The zero calibration point is established with no weight on the scale. Use this calibration method to adjust for a different pre-load without affecting the span or linearity calibration.
5000 Series Indicators EN-17 3.3.3 Linearity Calibration Linearity calibration uses 3 calibration points. The full calibration point is established with a weight on the scale. The mid calibration point is established with a weight equal to half of the full calibration weight on the scale. The zero calibration point is established with no weight on the scale. The mid calibration points cannot be altered by the user during the calibration procedure.
EN-18 5000 Series Indicators 3.3.5 Calibration Test Calibration test is used to compare a known calibration weight against the stored span calibration data. NOTE: Calibration Test is always available (even when LFT is set to ON). When tESt is displayed, press the Yes button to initiate Calibration Test. The display flashes 0. With no weight on the scale, press the Yes button to record the current zero point. The display shows --t-- while the zero point is recorded.
