  • Page 37 3.3.7.1 New Zero This is the most common calibration procedure used to establish a new zero (no load) and span (test load) calibration reference. Use this method for first-time calibration and complete re-calibration. To access "New Zero?" calibration from the weigh mode: Access the Calibration Setup Menu Selection as described in section 3.3.
  • Page 38 3.3.7.2 Last Zero This procedure allows span re-calibration without removing the applied test weight. The last zero established by pressing [ZERO] from the weigh mode will be used as the zero reference for this procedure. To access " Last Zero?" calibration from the weigh mode: Remove all weight and press [NET\GROSS] then [ZERO] to establish a gross zero reference.
  • Page 39 3.3.7.3 Temporary Zero This procedure is used to recalibrate without establishing a new zero. Calibration can be performed without removing the currently applied gross load. A temporary zero is established so additional test weight can be added during calibration. The original zero reference determined during the previous calibration is not affected.
  • Page 40 3.3.7.4 Only Zero This procedure is used for zero calibration only and is primarily used for correcting the zero reference after adding or removing dead-load from the scale. To access " Only Zero?" calibration from the weigh mode: Access the Calibration Setup Menu Selection as described in section 3.3.
  • Page 41 3.3.7.5 Calibration Reset This procedure adjusts the zero and gain factors of the A/D amplifier. Normally, a Cal Reset is performed if the amplifier is locked in at an extremely high gain factor and will not allow a new calibration to be performed due to an over-load or under-load condition.
  • Page 42 3.3.7.6 Known Load Cell Out This procedure is used to calibrate without test weights. The mV/V rating and capacity for each loadcell must be known. To access "Known LCOut" from the weigh mode: Access the Calibration Setup Menu Selection as described in section 3.3.
  • Page 43 12. The display shows “CAL OK?” suggesting that the calibration is acceptable. Press [YES] at the “CAL OK?” prompt to accept the calibration. 13. Press [NO] at the “CAL OK?” prompt to repeat the calibration. 14. Once the calibration is accepted in step 5, press [ENTER] at the ENTER=SAVE prompt and again at the ENTER=EXIT prompt to save the new calibration and exit the calibration mode.
