Figure 4-2. WZERO Calibration Display
To calibrate the indicator using the front panel, do the
following:
1. Place the indicator in setup mode (display
reads Scale Configuration ) and remove all
weight from the scale platform. If your test
weights require hooks or chains, place the
h o o k s o r c h a i n s o n t h e s c a l e f o r z e r o
calibration.
2. With the SCALES menu highlighted, press the
d o w n k e y, t h e n s e l e c t t h e s c a l e t o b e
c a l i b r a t e d . P r e s s d o w n a g a i n ( G R A D S
parameter highlighted), then press left to

calibration ( WZE RO ). See Figure 4-2 on
page 51.
3. Ensure scale is empty, then press down again
to show the current WZERO value, then press
the
Calibrate softkey to calibrate zero. When
complete, the new A/D count for the zero
calibration is displayed. Press
enter to save the
zero calibration value and go to the next
prompt (
WVAL ).
4. With WVAL displayed, press down to show the
stored calibration weight value. Use the
numeric keypad to enter the actual value of
the calibration test weights, then press
enter to
save the value and go to span calibration
(
WSPAN ).
5. Place test weights on scale. Press down again
to show the current WSPAN value, then press
the
Calibrate softkey to calibrate span. When
complete, the new A/D count for the span
calibration is displayed. Press
enter again to
save the span calibration value and go to the
next prompt (
WLIN ).
6. Five-point linearization (using the WLIN
parameter) provides increased scale accuracy
by calibrating the indicator at up to five
additional points between the zero and span
calibrations.
Linearization is optional: if you choose not to
perform linearization, skip the WLIN
parameter; if linearization values have
previously been entered, these values are reset
to zero during calibration. To perform
linearization, follow the procedure below:
With WLIN displayed, Press down to go to the
first linearization point ( POINT 1 ). Press down
again to show the weight value prompt ( WGT
1 ), then down once more to show the weight
value. Place test weights on the scale, then use
the numeric keypad to enter the actual test
weight value. Press
enter to save the value and
move to the calibration ( CAL 1 ) prompt. Press
down to show the current calibration value,
then press the Calibrate softkey to calibrate the
linearization point. When complete, the A/D
count for the linear calibration is displayed.
Press
enter again to save the calibration value
and go to the next prompt ( POINT 2 ).
Repeat for up to five linearization points. To
exit the linearization parameters, press the
up
key to return to WLIN.
7. The optional rezero function is used to
remove a calibration offset when hooks or
chains are used to hang the test weights.
NOTE: The rezero function cannot be used with
five-point linear calibration.
• If no other apparatus was used to hang the
test weights during calibration, remove
the test weights and press
up to return to
the CALIBR submenu.
• If hooks or chains were used during
calibration, remove these and the test
weights from the scale. With all weight
removed, go to the REZERO parameter,
then press
down to show the current zero
value. Press the Calibrate softkey to adjust
the zero and span calibration values. Press
enter or up to return to the CALIBR
submenu.
8. Press up to return to the SCALES menu, or
press the Save and Exit softkey to exit setup
mode.
4.3 Serial Command Calibration
To calibrate the indicator using serial commands, the
indicator serial port must be connected to a terminal or
personal computer. See Section 2.3.3 on page 9 for
serial port pin assignments; see Section 9.0 on
page 84 for more information about using serial
commands.
