1. APPLY 3 mV TO THE INPUT AND READ THE 10%
DIGITAL COUNTS AS THE OUTPUT (K1).
2. APPLY 30 mV TO THE INPUT AND READ THE FULL SCALE
DIGITAL COUNTS AS THE OUTPUT (K2)
3. WRITE TWO EQUATIONS:
A) (K2 x A) + C = 0.030 VOLTS
B) (K1 x A) + C = 0.003 VOLTS
SUBTRACTING EQUATION B FROM A:
(K2 - K1) x A = 0.027 VOLTS
THEREFORE A = 0.027 VOLTS ÷÷
÷÷
÷ (K2 - K1)
SOLVING FOR C , C = -K1 x A
EXAMPLE 1:WITH 3 mV APPLIED THE DMD-483-S2 OUTPUT
READS 4185 COUNTS.
WITH 30 mV APPLIED THE DMD-483-S2 OUTPUT
READS 41,745 COUNTS.
A) (41,745 x A) + C = 0.030 VOLTS
B) (4185 x A) + C = 0.003 VOLTS
SOLVING EQUATION A - EQUATION B
(37,560 x A) = 0.027 VOLTS. THEREFORE
A = (0.027 ÷ 37,560) = 7.1885 x 10-7 = .00000071885
SOLVING FOR C, C = .003 - (K1 x A)
C = -8.38 x 10-6 = .00000838
VERIFY YOUR RESULTS BY PLACING YOUR SOLUTIONS BACK INTO
EQUATIONS A AND B:
A) (41,745 x .00000071885) - .00000838 = 0.030 VOLTS
B) (4185 x .00000071885) - .00000838 = 0.003 VOLTS
IN A WEIGHING APPLICATION USING A LOAD CELL WITH A SENSITIVITY OF 3mV/V,
THE CONSTANT C WOULD THEN CORRESPOND TO THE TARE WEIGHT OF THE
SYSTEM.
EXAMPLE 2:WITH THE TARE WEIGHT ONLY APPLIED, READ
1,500 COUNTS.
WITH A FULL LOAD OF 100 POUNDS APPLIED, READ ABOUT
41,745 COUNTS.
A) (41,745 x A) + C = 100 POUNDS
B) (1,500 x A) + C = 0 POUNDS
