    It is important that users and service personnel be familiar with the procedures in this chapter before installing or operating the HI 6500 series instrument. All calibration is done in the Gross mode. Be sure to follow all the procedures completely to insure that the weights read by the unit are accurate.
  • Page 128: Electrical Check Procedures

    Electrical Check Procedures Load Cell/Point Input/Output Measurements The HI 6500 series instrument is designed to supply 5 VDC excitation to as many as four 350-Ohm load cells/points per channel.
  • Page 129: Load Check

    It can use up to 2 junction boxes with up to 4 load cells per junction box, interconnect cable and an instrument with C2 capabilities, such as the HI 6500 series instrument. Digital information within a Hardy C2 or eCAL-certified load sensor details its unique performance characteristics.
  • Page 130 Depending on the latitude of your location, your scales would measure somewhere in between. The table below shows the gravitation correction factor for a few cities around the world. NOTE Ensure that the scale system is clean and ready to receive product. This step establishes the gross zero reference.

    Cal completed OK appears and gross weight will read your reference value. However, if no load points are connected to the HI 6500 series the following message appears. Check the cable and connectors of the load point(s) and re- calibrate.
  • Page 132: C2 Calibration From The Front Panel

    Step 2. Use the UP or DOWN arrow to select the NumDevices menu item. The read-only NumDevices value provides the number of C2 (or eCal) load cells on the system detected by the HI 6500 series instrument. Verify that the displayed number matches the actual number installed. If not, check to ensure that each load cell/point cable connection is securely fastened and that each load cell/point cable is not broken.
  • Page 133: Hard Calibration

    Hard Calibration Hard Calibration is the method of calibration that uses test weights. We recommend that the span total 80 to 100% of the scale live load capacity and the weights be distributed uniformly on/in the scale. Step 1. Put a load (weight) on the scale or vessel. For a full load test you can put 80% to 100% of the expected weight you will see in your process on the scale or vessel.
  • Page 134: Hard Calibration From The Front Panel

    Step 4. Click the Do Cal Lo button to do the hard Cal Zero operation. A “Cal Completed OK” message appears briefly if the calibration was successful. An Error number appears if the calibration was not successful. See the Error list in the troubleshooting chapter for help in correcting the error.
  • Page 135: Multi-Point Calibration

    Step 6. To set the Span Weight, place a certified test weight, equal to the span weight entered in step 5, on the scale. This value is the amount of test weight that you will apply, typically 80-100% of the expected maximum product loading on the load cells.
  • Page 136 First, select the number of Cal Points necessary to accommodate for non-linearity that can not be mechanically corrected in the system. Users that have previously performed a Calibration or set the span weight value using traditional or C2 calibration, will see that value populated as the nighest number of Cal Points selected.
