    PC connector (25-pin) cross cable The wiring diagram shown above is used for connecting the F805AT-BC to a DTE (data terminal device). Usually a PC functions as a DTE. If you connect it to a DCE (data circuit terminating equipment) such as a modem, use a straight cable.
  • Page 39: 5.Calibration

    5. CALIBRATION 5-1. What is calibration? Calibration represents a set of procedure to verify that the F805AT-BC is correctly adjusted so that it can receive information from the load cell properly. When 100kg of real load is applied to the weighing part (load cell) of a metering device, the indicator connected to the weighing device, if it is properly calibrated, should recognize the data as accurate as possible (e.g.
  • Page 40: Actual Load Calibration (Weight Calibration)

    5.CALIBRATION 5-2. Actual Load Calibration (Weight Calibration) Step by step procedures for actual load calibration are as follows: Toggle the LOCK switch on the rear panel to OFF LOCK(hard) OFF position to enable calibration. Remove software LOCK to enable calibration. LOCK(soft) OFF Select load cell excitation voltage (5 or 10V).
  • Page 41: Secondary Calibration

    5.CALIBRATION 5-3. Secondary Calibration (Calibration using equivalent input) [Weight calibration] Calibration can be carried out using key input, without actual measurement of the load cell’s rated output (mV/V) and rated capacity (e.g. the value you want to display). This method enables calibration without balance weight, and is useful if the instrument is replaced due to failure, or incorrect span calibration is found.
  • Page 42 5.CALIBRATION Note The value of balance weight should be less than the instruments capacity. If you use rated value written in the load cell’s specification sheet, use the load cell’s rated value for capacity setting. Parallel connection of multiple load cells can, depending on connection scheme, cause small voltage drop due to lead wires.

    5.CALIBRATION 5-4. Flow Calibration Steps for flow calibration are as follows: Toggle the LOCK switch on the rear panel to OFF LOCK(hard) OFF position to enable calibration. Remove software LOCK to enable calibration. LOCK(soft) OFF Select the unit for feed calculation Feed Unit Select decimal place (same setting is used for flow).

    5-5. Preparation for Calibration 5-5-1. Releasing the LOCK F805AT-BC provides two types of lock capabilities to prevent unauthorized or accidental alteration of calibration or set data: you can either lock the instrument by front panel operation ([LOCK (soft)]), or by toggling a rear panel switch ([LOCK (hard)]).

    Re-calibration of zero point is required. Normally, a zero calibration is followed by a span calibration. If the span calibration produces unsatisfactory results, F805AT-BC shows the error message (CAL.ERR.1), indicating that a re-calibration of zero is necessary. Satisfactory re-calibration of zero will remove the error message.
