LOAD CELL

CALIBRATION

 

NOTE: Display examples shown here are in tenths of grams as displayed On 100 and 200 series models. 400, 900 and 1800 series models display full grams, no decimal.

If your

load cells are displaying a weight close to (

0.0), plus or

minus 5

grams, you may skip this section and go directly to

RATE CALIBRATION (next page).

 

 

If your

unit DOES NOT

display a weight of (

0.0) grams, plus or

minus 5

grams, you should recalibrate them, that is reset

ZERO weight,

at this

time.

 

 

 

 

To do so:

 

 

 

 

BE SURE

the weigh bin

is EMPTY.

 

 

BE SURE

the load cell

plug is plugged into the side of the controller.

BE SURE

the weigh bin

is resting on the load cells freely.

 

BE SURE

the air line to the dump valve is connected as it

would be

 

during normal

operation. (A disconnected air line

adds weight.)

BE SURE

The load cells and bin are not jammed in any way.

To test for

 

this see

that

a light touch on the bin causes the

display to

 

change.

When

the pressure is removed the display

must return

to exactly where it was, plus or minus 0.1 gram.

If this does not happen, something is touching something and the bin is not entirely free to move. Check EVERYTHING around the bin.

The ZERO point of the load cells is now set properly. FULL weight calibration may also be done at this time, however, it probably is NOT NECESSARY. When load cell readings shift due to rough handling, the entire range of readings from ZERO to FULL shift together. ZERO weight calibration resets the full range of the cells and, therefore, corrects FULL weight readings as well. For information on FULL weight calibration, see RECALIBRATION OF LOAD CELLS section.
