Temperature Compensation
This Function provides automatic compensation of measurement variations
caused by changes in the ambient temperature where the measurement
system is used.
Additionally, coefficients of expansion other than aluminum may be
programmed and the resulting measurement compensated for the different
expansion rates based on a temperature sensor inside the Readout.
Use this feature to maintain the highest measurement accuracy possible when
using the system under wide temperature variations or when mounting the
ProScale aluminum scale extrusion to steel or other surfaces having a different
temperature expansion rate than aluminum.
This function is configured using
To activate Temperature Compensation:
1. Set

2. If necessary, enter the expansion coefficient for the material that the
ProScale aluminum Scale is affixed to with
Use care if changing this setting. It will affect system accuracy!
