Contents [284|285] To begin readjustment or to display the calibration counter contents, start the scale and press another key while the display shows seca. The contents of the calibration counter (i.e. the number of adjustment procedures carried out so far) are then displayed for 18 seconds (flashing).
Maintenance seca 2.1.6 Example: Adjusting a Scale with 100g Graduations [703|704|284|285|634|635|644|645|656|657|664|665|675|676|677 |684|685] The selected test weight is 200 kg. The current weight shown on the display is 199.7 kg (max. deviation of 300 g). In this example, you must switch the scale to incrementing mode to carry out readjustment.

While the calibration count is displayed, a key must be kept pressed (for more than 1.5 seconds) to switch the scale to adjustment mode.
Maintenance seca 2.3.1 Example for Gravity Factor Setting [374|703|634|644|656|664|674|676|684|284|954] The current gravity factor shown on the display is 98135 kg mm/s². The target gravity factor is 98150 mm/s². In this example, you must switch the scale to incrementing mode to set the gravity factor.

The most effective way to identify a defect of the load cell is using the diagnosis function of seca serva 2.0; if this is not available you can alternatively use a multimeter (see 4.2.1). A multimeter measurement, however, is less conclusive so that it should always be second choice.

The measured values only have a limited informative value, however, as even a defective load cell can supply absolutely correct values when no load is placed on it.

This software can be updated using the Windows-based "seca wireless updater" program. Removing or replacing the radio modules is generally not required.
Updating the Radio Module Software Two cases can be distinguished: 1) The customer has a seca 360° wireless USB adapter [456] and has carried out set-up for his seca devices and this wireless USB adapter. In this case you should connect the customer's wireless USB adapter to your service PC and update the entire wireless group from your PC.
Software seca mode (the so-called download kernel). The “Refresh” button refreshes the display. Set-up Process This function corresponds to the set-up process carried out for a device. First of all, select the current wireless group on the left in the main window.
Software seca Updating the Radio Module Software The lower part of the main window is intended for the actual updating of the radio modules. The radio modules in the active wireless group are shown in a list together with a symbol.
The revision contained on the card is given on the sticker on the SD card. For the seca wireless printer 465, revision code 465d or more recent is required (or 465dc, 465dj, 465dr for the Chinese, Japanese or Russian version).
Set-up is not possible in updating mode – it would no longer be possible to identify the corresponding device. In rare cases, updating will fail entirely. The relevant radio module must then be reaced. The radio module can be returned to the seca headquarters for repair. 14.02.2013/RLEU/ARI/MRE 35/41...
