  • Page 40: Calibration

    380/381 Synergy Indicator Calibration The 380/381 can be calibrated using the front panel or EDP commands. The following sections describe the procedures required for these calibration methods. NOTE: CAL jumper must be removed to perform calibration. NOTE: The 380/381 requires a WZERO and WSPAN points to be calibrated. The linear calibration points are optional; they must fall between zero and span, but must not duplicate zero or span.
  • Page 41: Linear Calibration

    Once a span calibration is complete, remove the hooks or chains and the test weights from the scale. With all the weight removed, a rezero calibration is used to adjust the zero and span calibration values. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved...
