Page 691 Ch ap te r 7 Lo ad Ce ll Mo du le 7.1.6 Gross Weight, Net Weight and Tare Weight The meaning of gross weight, net weight, and tare weight is to identify the total weight, the package weight, and the content weight, the definitions are as follows: Tare Weight: A tare is the weight of a package.
Page 692 AX-5 Ser i es M od ul e M an ua l 7.1.7 Calibration The module receives the signal from the load cell sensor as a voltage signal. However, the module does not know how much weight corresponds to the voltage signal. Therefore, the module needs to match the actual weight with the input value displayed by the module, calibrating the current input value to the corresponding weight.
Page 693 Ch ap te r 7 Lo ad Ce ll Mo du le Calibration methods  The following are three calibration methods, it is suggested to maximize the filter’s strength during the calibration and to perform the process in FreeRun Mode. The tare weight will automatically reset to zero after starting the calibration. DIADesigner-AX UI Calibration Configure the module.

Page 702 AX-5 Ser i es M od ul e M an ua l A.1 Cautions Observe the following precautions before performing maintenance and inspection. Incorrect or careless operation will lead to injury or equipment damage.  To prevent a breakdown of the system or a fire, ensure that the ambient environment does not contain corrosive substances such as chloride gas, sulfide gas or flammable substances such as oil mist, cutting powder, or dirt.
Page 703 Ch ap te r 6 M a in te nance and Insp ec ti on A.2 Daily Maintenance To keep the system operating normally, ensure that the ambient environment and the system conform to the cautions listed in Section A.1. You can then perform the daily inspection described below. If you find any problems, follow the solution and perform any necessary maintenance.
Page 704 AX-5 Ser i es M od ul e M an ua l A.3 Periodic Maintenance In addition to daily inspection, you should perform periodic maintenance depending on the actual operating environment. After making sure that the ambient environment and the system conform to the cautions listed in Section A.1, perform the periodic inspection described below.
