Analog Output Calibration

The following calibration procedure requires a multimeter to measure voltage or current output from the analog

output of the I/O module. If the option is not already installed, see Section 3.2.8 on page 38.

The analog output must be calibrated after the indicator itself has been configured (Section 3.0 on page 21)
and calibrated (Section 4.0 on page 41).

Figure 8-3. Analog Output Menu

1. Enter setup mode and go to the ALGOUT menu (see Figure 8-3). See Table 9-7 on page 76 for

information on switch settings.

Set OFFSET to 0% for 0-5 V, ±5 V, ±10 V output, 20% for 4–20 mA output

Set MIN to lowest weight value to be tracked by the analog output

Set MAX to highest weight value to be tracked by the analog output

2. Connect multimeter to desired analog output:

For voltage output, connect voltmeter leads to pins 1 and 3 for ALOUT1 or pins 6 and 5 for

ALOUT2

For current output, connect ampmeter leads to pins 1 and 2 ALOUT1 or pins 4 and 6 for ALOUT2

3. Adjust zero calibration: Scroll to the TWZERO parameter. Check voltage or current reading on

multimeter. Press and hold or to adjust the zero value up or down. Press

Enter

to save the displayed

value.

4. Adjust span calibration: Scroll to the TWSPAN parameter. Check voltage or current reading on

multimeter. Press and hold or to adjust the span value up or down. Press

Enter

to save the displayed

value.

5. Final zero calibration: Return to the TWZERO parameter and verify that the zero calibration has not

drifted. Press and hold or to re-adjust the zero value as required. Press

Enter

to save the displayed

value.

6. Return to normal mode. Analog output function can be verified using test weights.
