  • Page 16: Setpoints

    4.4 Setpoints The Dyna-Link 2 supports two setpoints. Common uses of set points are for warnings or process control. The unit comes standard with two red LED outputs for a triggered set point. There is an audible output option that is triggered by setpoint 1.
  • Page 17: Total

    4.5 Total For the accumulation of multiple weighments, the Total function uses the displayed load, so gross and net readings can be added into the same total. There are four modes of totalizing, a manual and three auto modes. All modes require that the weight on the scale return below 0.5% (relative to full scale) of Gross Zero Net Zero before the next weighment can be added.
  • Page 18: Filter

    4.6 Filter Changing the filter settings allows the Dyna-Link 2 to adjust to situations where there is a lot of movement in the lift or the crane structure. If the reading is not stable, it can often be improved by increasing the filter setting. Settling time will be longer as the filter setting is increased.
  • Page 19: Battery Life

    If the Dyna-Link 2 Calibration was originally in tons or metric tons, the 2Unit setting will switch from tons to metric tons instead of lb/kg. 4.8 Battery Life In Long battery life mode, the system is placed into a sleep state for several seconds at a time if there is no change in tension.
  • Page 20: Calibration

    5.0 Calibration The Dyna-Link 2 is calibrated using standard precision test weights. It is required that the weight used is at least 10% of full capacity in order to achieve rated accuracy. Example: Use at least a 500kg test weight to calibrate a 5000kg capacity unit. The Dyna-Link 2 supports load cell linearization with up to four span points that can be calibrated in any order.

  • Page 23: C-Cal Calibration

    5.3 C-Cal Calibration When adequate test weights are not available, the Dyna-Link 2 can be calibrated using a cal number calibration which is referred to as C-Cal. To use C-Cal, a factory generated C-Cal number must be known. Replacement load cells for the Dyna-Link 2 have the C-Cal value stamped on the serial number label.
