  • Page 31: Last Zero

    Last Zero Last Zero allows span re-calibration without removing the applied test weight. The last zero established by pressing from the weigh mode will be used as the zero reference. This procedure is especially useful when performing routine tolerance checks on large capacity scales. A scale found to be out-of- tolerance can be easily calibrated without having to remove the test weights to reestablish a zero reference.

  • Page 32: Temporary Zero

    Temporary Zero Temp Zero is used to calibrate without establishing a new zero. Calibration can be performed without removing the currently applied gross load. A temporary zero is established so that test weights can be added during calibration. The original zero reference determined during the previous calibration is not affected.

  • Page 33: Only Zero

    Only Zero Only Zero is used for zero calibration only. This calibration procedure is primarily used for the zero reference after changing a scale’s dead-load, such as adding safety rails to a scale deck or installing a mixer motor on a hopper scale. Because the full scale capacity is referenced from the last zero calibration, performing a zero calibration helps to ensure that the full scale over-load will not occur prematurely due to the additional dead-load.

  • Page 34: Known Loadcell Output

    Known Loadcell Output Known LCOut is used to calibrate without test weights. The exact full scale mV/V rating must be known for each load cell. All load cells must be of the same full scale capacity. This procedure works best for hopper scales where weight is evenly distributed and signal trimming is not required.

    NTEP C USTOM ETUP The “Custom Setup” parameter, P60205 of the information parameters, displays a list of parameters which, if configured improperly, could facilitate fraud in a legal-for-trade installation. A weights and measures inspector might check this parameter and inquire about the configuration of any parameters that appear in this list.

  • Page 39: Sealing And Audit Trails

    The Model 672 has two types of sealing provisions, a physical seal and a three event audit trail counter. Check with your local weights and measures authority to determine your requirements.

  • Page 40: Audit Trails

    UDIT RAILS Three separate incrementing, non-resetable audit trail parameters are used by the Model 672 to indicate changes to various parameters, P60201 – OIML, P60203 – Calibration , and P60204 – Setup. An audit trail counter will increment only once upon exiting the Setup Mode and saving changes regardless of how many settings were changed.
