Cal Mode 1 - Weight Calibration - RDS Technology Weighlog 200 User Manual

6.2 CAL Mode 1 – Weight Calibration
The calibration factor is an arbitrary number relating the hydraulic pressure (or
strain measurement) in the lift system to the load in the bucket. Accurate
results from the Weighlog can only be achieved if the calibration procedure
has been carried out carefully and in the correct sequence. Decide which
attachment/commodity applies to which channel and whether static weighing
or dynamic weighing is appropriate. Make a note of this on the chart provided
at the back of this manual.
Perform the following calibration steps for each channel to be calibrated.
Refer to the appropriate sections for additional information.
NOTE 1:
Fast lifts are normally the fastest lift speed of the machine. If not, both
the fast zero and fast load lifts should be carried out at exactly the same
speeds for a successful Autocal.
NOTE 2:
A full bucket must be used so that the software can calculate the
difference between an empty bucket and a full bucket. Using a few
hundred kilos only as a test load will result in a poor Autocal.
NOTE 3:
When calibrating for dynamic weighing, ensure that the magnet has
moved well above the reference and direction sensors, otherwise the
speed
