5.2.3 Deadloading the Scale (scale zero)
Before the indicator can be calibrated the deadload or scale zero value must
be obtained. Remove all test weights from the scale. Key parameter 12
followed by the PRINT/SELECT key. The display will show ‘r’ for “reconfirm”.
Press 1 followed by the TARE key to confirm to continue with deadloading
the scale. The indicator will pause for a short duration and then display the
deadload value in AD counts to the display. The indicator will then return
back to weight display mode. The indicator can now be calibrated with a
known test weight.
5.2.4 Spanning the indicator
Place a known test weight on the scale. Enter 13 followed by the
PRINT/SELECT key. The display will briefly flash “1”. Shortly after, the display
will freeze with the last displayed weight. Enter the value of your test weight
followed by the TARE key. The indicator will immediately calibrate and
return back to weight display mode. If the display shows “EEEEEE” then you
have exceeded the scale capacity value set in parameter 4 and 8. If the display
shows “AAAAAA” then you have exceeded the input analog range of the
indicator. The output voltage from the load cells exceeds the input for the
AD converter.
Once the proper weight is displayed, exit calibration mode by pressing 99
followed by the PRINT/SELECT key.

in calibration mode use parameter 96. Enter a 4 digit password followed by
the TARE key. Important note: if you forget your password you will not be
