Page 10: Using Easy Setup To Calibrate Weighers
Omega QuickStart manual USING EASY SETUP TO CALIBRATE WEIGHERS Now click on the “SETTINGS” for the “Dual Channel Loadcell Digital Outputs(1-1-1)” to start the setup for channel 1 of the first card. The display tab shows that this channel has no valid weight “-------”... - Page 11 Omega QuickStart manual This tab shows the weight as “cccccc” which indicates the weigher is not correctly calibrated. The Weigher filters tab allows fine tuning the weigher for different uses. Under “Filter preset selector” several standard use cases can be selected which fill in the appropriate parameters.
- Page 12 Omega QuickStart manual The Calibration tab is used to do a simple two-point calibration. The signal is at 0.0031mV which is close to 0mV. When a weight is applied to the loadcell this number will increase. The maximum loadcell output will be 20mV.
- Page 13 Omega QuickStart manual When the two points are too close together in either weight or signal, the message “Gain overflow” will be shown. After a few seconds the gross will show the actual weight and gross x10 shows the higher resolution internal weight before rounding.

- Page 20 About PENKO At PENKO Engineering we specialize in weighing. Weighing is inherently chemically correct, independent of consistency, type or temperature of the raw material. This means that weighing any kind of material guaranties consistency and thus, it is essential to sustainable revenue generation in any industry.
