  • Page 34: Calibration Of Instrumentation

    How to Perform a Calibration All instrumentation included with this unit has been calibrated and assigned to specific channels for use. Humboldt recommends and standard lab practice dictates that your HM-5760 should be calibrat- ed periodically. For most, this period is usually a year, though other rules may apply to the frequency of calibration.
  • Page 35 Once your calibrations have been saved, click on the trash can icon (5) to begin to erase all four (4) Input calibrations. When you press the trash can icon, this screen will appear. On this screen select an Input calibration to delete, one at a time, and then press the Select button.
  • Page 36 Calibrating your instrumentation to the appropriate Input requires a separate device, which can provide precise and specific loads or dis- placement, and, which has been certified to be accurate. The calibra- tion process involves plugging the instrumentation into the HM-5760 while placing the instrumentation into the certified calibration device, which provides a specific set load or displacement.
  • Page 37 Upon fi lling in the password, you will see this screen, Tab 1 Sensor Details of the Calibration settings. On Tab 1, the Sensor Type (1) will default to Horizontal Load. For Capacity (2), fi ll in the maximum capacity of the sensor and choose either lbf or kN.
  • Page 38 Once this is complete, click on the Right Arrow in the bottom right- hand corner of the screen to save these settings. You will be taken to Tab 2, Limits. On Tab 2, in the Calibration Limit field (1), enter the maximum cal- ibrated limit of the sensor.
  • Page 39 If you choose Multi-Point (Recommended calibration method) Curve and click on the Right Arrow in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, you will be taken to Tab 3. On Tab 3 you will be able to set the number of points you want to use for your calibration.
  • Page 40 Each point would be chosen by clicking on the corresponding point row above. The load would be applied to the sensor and an A/D Counts reading would appear. To set the point, click on the Set Point button (1). This would be repeated until all points have been set. In the example above, Point 3 is being calibrated and is ready to have the Set Point button (1) clicked.
