Analog Output Calibration

The following calibration procedure requires a

multimeter to measure voltage or current output from

the analog output module.

Note

The analog output must be calibrated after the
indicator itself has been configured and
calibrated.

1. Enter setup mode and go to the ALGOUT menu

(see Figure 4):
• Set

OFFSET

to 0% for 0–10 V output; set to

20% for 4–20 mA output

• Set mode select jumper on the analog output

board to "V" for 0-10 V output, or "I" for

4-20mA 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 connector J1 on the analog

output board:
• For voltage output, connect voltmeter leads to

pin 3 and 4.

• For current output, connect ammeter leads to

pins 1 and 2.

3. Adjust zero calibration: Scroll to the TWZERO

parameter. Press

to view zero value, then check

voltage or current reading on multimeter. Press and

hold or

to adjust the zero value up or down.

4. Adjust span calibration: Scroll to the TWSPAN

parameter. Press

to view span value, then check

voltage or current reading on multimeter. Press and

hold

or

to adjust the span value up or down.

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.

6. Return to normal mode. Analog output function

can be verified using test weights.

See the 520 Installation Manual, PN 68973, for more

configuration information.
