Calibration of U137, U235 & 237 Series Weight Indicators.
U2375 with optional tilt sensor U9027.
This indicator has 5 additional calibration steps, Cs28 to Cs32.
A cosine (square) compensation is made on the AD-value minus ADZ in Cs30. ADZ is the load cell AD-signal
without any load. AD-values < ADZ are not compensated.
A sine (linear) compensation may be entered for each direction in Cs31 and Cs32 respectively.

*=0 No tilt compensation. Only in U2375. P = pitch (Input PE5 on the processor) , R = roll (Input PE6).
=1 Max P and R = ±9.8° (17.0%). -9.8° = 0.026V, 0° = 1.315V, 9.8° = 2.604V. Standard tilt transducer U9027.

=1 Tare signal at P = -9.4°. Stop at 4.7°, when the tare is not performed due to unstable signal.
Print signal at P = 9.4°. Stop at -4.7°, when the print is not performed due to unstable signal.

30 *29000 ADZ
May be set from 1600 to 52600 in steps of 200.
ADZ corresponds to the AD-value without any load. The best way is to connect the load cells, tilted 90°, and enter
Cs30 before mounting. If the signal is outside the range, adjust with a high resistor between signal and excitation.
E.g. an ADZ, which is higher than correct value, results in too low tilt compensation. This negative error is inde-
pendent of load and constant, when tilted the same in all directions. It varies with the square (cosine) of the tilt angle.
Note! ADZ in Cs30 m ust always be entered before Cs31 & 32 . Else the adjustm ent is very difficult.

These errors are caused by different angle between tilt sensor and load cell(s) and by the side force sensitivity of
the load cell(s). U se a model with low side force sensitivity. Single point and shear beams, especially dual type, are
mostly good. (The side force is equal to the load times the tilt in percent.)
It is important that the load cell mounting is properly made. Multiple load cells bolted together, without any conve-
nient load transmission device, will have bad repeatability in the order of 0.1% or worse. The proper function of the tilt
compensation is then very difficult to measure and adjust.
Standard mountings from the load cell manufacturers are mostly not constructed for side forces.
Try to use load cells, which have small or at least equal side force sensitivity.
In order to get small change at eccentric loads, use current matched load cells (V /R
Q and sign is calculated according to the following formula:

Example:
E.g. AD-values for -9°, 0° and +9° angle are 498200, 500000 and 502200.
The linear error is -2000 to +2000 units.
The square error is +200 AD-units, if present for P and R independent of load.
Then Cs30 is too low and an overcompensation is made. It must be increased by 200/(1-cos 9) = 16200 units..
Assume ADZ = 20000. Then Q (500000 - 20000) 18 10 = 502200 - 498200. Thus Q = +00463.
Do never touch the potentiometers in the tilt transducer U90271.
