4. Make sure all weight is removed from the scale and press the

Cal-Match

softkey to begin the calibration. Cal-

Match calibration can be cancelled by pressing the

CLEAR

key or the

CANCEL

softkey.

Cal-Match will overwrite any previous calibration. You can discard the Cal-Match and revert to the previous
calibration by cycling power to the

iQUBE

2

before pressing Save and Exit.

5. After initializing, the display will show Cal-Match

Point 1.

Place a test weight over first cell or section to be

tested, then press

ENTER

.

It is not necessary to measure the cells in any particular order.

6. Once the iQUBE

2

has read the cell, the 920i display will show Cal-Match

Point 2

.

7. Move the test weight to the next cell or section and press

ENTER

. Repeat until all cells have been measured.

8. When the last cell has been measured, the iQUBE

2

automatically sets the load cell trim factors. Press

TWEAK

or

ENTER

to view trim values.

9. Press

UP

( ) to return to the

SCALES

menu. Press the

Save and Exit

softkey to exit setup mode. To continue

with linearization, see Section 4.1.2.

4.1.2 Advanced Calibration Options

Temporary zero calibration and theoretical calibration are available regardless of the number of load cells con-
nected or the calibration type selected. The calibration options described in this section are optional. Basic calibra-
tion can be performed by following the instructions in Section 4.1.1.

Linearization
Five-point linearization is used to compensate for non-linear scale systems by calibrating the indicator at up to five
additional points between the zero and span calibrations. Linearization is optional; if linearization values have pre-
viously been entered, these values are reset to zero during the zero calibration.

1. Once basic calibration is complete, with

WLIN

displayed, press

ENTER

or

DOWN

to go to the first lineariza-

tion point (

PT-> 1

).

2. Place test weights on the scale and press

ENTER

twice to display the weight value entry prompt.

3. Use the numeric keypad to enter the actual test weight value. Press

ENTER

to accept the value.

4. Enter the

Calibrate

submenu. Use the

CALIBRATE

softkey to begin calibration of the linear point. When com-

plete, the A/D count for the linear calibration is displayed. Press

ENTER

to acknowledge the value.

5. Use the

LEFT

and

RIGHT

keys to enter the next linearization point

PT-> 2

.

6. Repeat for up to five linearization points.
7. To exit the linearization parameters, press

UP

to return to

WLIN

. To perform a rezero, see Section .

Description

Last
Zero

Recalls the last established zero value to allow calibration without removing test weights or
product from the scale. This must be followed by a span calibration.

Temp
Zero

Temporarily zeroes the displayed weight of a non-empty scale. After span calibration, the
difference between the temp zero and the previously calibrated zero value is used as an off-
set. Requires a previous calibration. This must be followed by a span calibration.
