Then continue with the following: Calibration involves emptying the scale then placing a known test weight on an empty platform and allowing the FT-112 indicator to capture values for zero and scale. Calibration is performed as follows: Press key at the [ 611 TEST WEIGHT ] prompt to start the calibration.
If the value of the test weights that will be used is different from the value shown on the display, type in the new value via tare and zero keys. A minimum of 20% of scale capacity is necessary for calibration; FLINTEC recommends 50 to 100%. A calibration error will result if insufficient weight is used.
2. Scale adjustment cancels the eCal performed before. 3. Gravity adjustment cannot be done after eCal. This parameter lets you perform calibration without using any test weights. FT-112 A/D coefficients are adjusted in production for increasing eCal accuracy. The calibration coefficients are calculated by scale capacity, total load cell capacity, load cell full scale output and estimated dead load.
Note these coefficients to use them in case of calibration lost. Changing them slightly improves the scale accuracy without recalibration. Entering these values to another indicator may cause slightly reducing the weighing accuracy due to offset differences between two analogue digital circuits.
