Function 80 Calibrate - Multi-point Linearization
Use function 80 to calibrate the scale using up to 5 calibration points to 'linearize'
the load cell. Set the Scale Operation Parameters before using function 80. Best
results are obtained when the IDS 430/433 and load cells have reached thermal
equilibrium (power applied for approximately 30 to 120 minutes depending on
load cell size). NOTE: function 80 automatically adjusts parameter 19 (deadload
offset).
1. Hold the CLEAR key down and press the ENTER key to enter the configure
mode.
2. Enter CFG 80. The IDS 430/433 prompts "dEAdld". Remove all weight from
the scale. Press the ENTER key to obtain the deadload weight. Press the
Units key ( ↓ ) to continue without reading a new deadload weight.
3. The IDS 430/433 ‘s display alternates between "CAL 1" and the weight on
the scale. Place the first calibration weight on the scale. Enter the calibration
weight using the numeric keypad. Press the ENTER key. The IDS 430/433
reads the calibration weight.
4. The IDS 430/433 ‘s display alternates between "CAL 2" and the weight on
the scale. Repeat step 3. The IDS 430/433 will accept up to 5 calibration
points. Press the CLEAR key to complete calibration if less than 5 calibration
points are used.
5. The IDS 430/433 prompts "CFG 80". Press the CLEAR key to exit the
configure mode.
