1. Launch the calibration utility by selecting Tools, Advanced, then Load Cell Calibration
2. Input the K value (spring constant) for the calibration spring provided for the load cell
being used.
delivery)
3. The load cell capacity should be automatically read and displayed, and the appropriate
calibration preload calculated
4. Lower the fluid chamber and install the calibration spring brackets on the goosenecks.
5. Zero the load cell using the Zero Load Cells button
6. Using the Jog+ and Jog– buttons, drive the actuators until the posts are correctly spaced
so that the calibration spring can be installed without applying any significant load. Set
the calibration spring on the posts (see above figure). The spring should be set level and
in line with the goosenecks.
This value is shown on the spring case label (provided upon system
