A minimum test load requirement is 20% of scale capacity for accurate calibration. FLINTEC recommends test load between 50% to 75% of the capacity. 3. Place the test weights on the scale.
eCal Electronic Calibration IMPORTANT NOTE: The eCal electronic calibration is based on the zero adjustment by entering the dead load value or automatic zero adjustment and span adjustment by entering the load cell data. WARNING : If the primary unit is no kg, the selected unit should be saved by exit from set-up and then perform e-Cal.
Gravity adjustment WARNING: This parameter should ONLY be used at the scale that will be initially verified in two stages by gravity adjustment in legal metrologic applications. The gravity acceleration values of the place of the calibration and of the place of the usage are entered in this parameter.

Page 73
Automatic Shift Adjustment IMPORTANT NOTE: This adjustment must be performed before calibration. Load the scale few times before performing automatic shift adjustment. Small mismatches in mechanical and electronic gain of the load sensing paths can cause the same test weight to produce slightly different readings, depending on the location of the test weight on the scale.
IGITAL INPUTS AND OUTPUTS APPLICATION: Digital inputs are used to control the instrument and the digital outputs can be used to control gates, valves etc. or to produce alarm. Setpoint outputs can be updated by actual displayed weight or when the load is stable. RELATED PARAMETERS: Sub-blocks 35- and 36-.
