8.5. Calibrate the Scale
Important: Before you can calibrate the scale you have to define the basic setup (see chapter 8.1) and the
scale parameters (see chapter 8.3 respective 8.4). If you have to configure a multi scale system, then select the
wished scale no. ("1" or "2") within the weight display (Fig. 7.1).
1. Open the window FlintWeigh II Settings
2. Open the register “Calibration”
3. Unload the scale
4. Click the button “Dead load“; this defines the
current load status of the scale as the zero
point. The weight display should show now the
value “0”.
5. The calibration weight will be put on the centre
of the scale. The true applied weight (at least
10% of max. capacity) has to be entered into
the field “Test weight” (here 1000e = 20 kg).
6. Click the button “Gain“; now the correct gain
for the selected scale will be calculated. The
weight display should show now the value of
the calibration weight.
7. For saving the calibration data click the button
“Save calibration data”. Now a warning
appears which describes the consequences in
legal for trade applications. (“Attention! After
saving the calibration data, the internal
calibration counter (TAC) is still counted
forward. Afterwards the scale has to be re-
approved by the Calibration Authority!”)
8. For confirming the saving click the button
“Save”. If you want to keep an existing
approval click the button “Cancel”.
9. After the calibration the window FlintWeigh II
Settings has to be closed. This will save all
setup changes.
10. The weight display will now show the weight of
the calibration weight, if the calibration weight
still loads the scale.
Hint: After the calibration you have to close the window FlintWeigh II Settings by clicking the button “X“ (upper
right window corner). In multi scale applications you may select and calibrate the second scale now.
