your application is for KM Microcells installed on stainless steel or aluminum or uses 2-inch Microcells. However,
the calibration parameters resulting from Quick Config are based on 3-inch microcells installed on carbon steel.
modify the scale factor counts (Scale Factor Cts) to reflect the actual sensitivity of the installed microcells.
note: Do not modify scale factor counts if you already performed a live load calibration (Auto Cal). A live load
calibration is more accurate. The scale factor count correction follows:
1. See Table 6. Select the Sensitivity Factor that matches your installation.
2. If the SVS 2000 is in Run Mode, press the‘2’ Key, ‘2’ Key, and Enter Key to access the menu tree. The
display shows:
22 mAnuAL CAL
3. Press the enter key to access this menu. The display shows:
SCALe FACTOr WgT
4. Press the up Arrow key to proceed to the next menu. The display shows:
SCALe FACTOr CTS
5. Press the enter key to access the Scale Factor Cts menu. The display looks like this:
> 123456 cnts
6. Calculate the corrected Scale Factor Cts as follows: Corrected Scale Factor Cts = Scale Factor Cts x
Sensitivity Factor
7. Use the numeric or Arrow Keys to input the Corrected Scale Factor Cts. Press the Enter Key to save the
value in memory. The display acknowledges the entry and returns to:
SCALe FACTOr CTS
8. Press the Gross or net Key to return to Run Mode.
example: The application uses microcells installed on stainless steel. you performed Quick Config and need to
modify the scale factor counts to match the application. Looking at Table 6, the Sensitivity Factor for microcells
on stainless steel is 0.83. you go to the Scale Factor Cts Menu and record the existing scale factor counts,
which is 100,000 for this example. Summarizing the data:
Scale Factor Cts = 100,000
Sensitivity Factor = 0.83
Calculate and input the corrected scale factor counts: Corrected Scale Factor Cts
= Scale Factor Cts x Sensitivity Factor
= 100,000 x 0.83 = 83,000 counts
