6.0 CALIBRATION COUNTER FOR APPROVED SCALES
The approved (GBK/GFK-Mplus model) scales have the ability to control access to the
calibration or metrology parameters using a passcode to limit access. The requirements
for doing this stipulate the counters should be apparent and recorded in a suitable location
on the scale.
In this way if the record of the Calibration or Parameter counters do not agree with
recorded settings the responsible person inspecting the scale can take appropriate action.
The Counters are incremented any time the calibration section or the Factory parameters
section have been modified.
At power on, the display will show the current software revision number followed by the
message of the Calibration Count
“
[AL[nt
” then a number i.e. “123”. The number from the
counter memory. Then the Parameter Counter message of
“
PAr[nt
”
and probably a
different number, i.e. “234”. The counters cannot be reset to 0, they will increment until the
display can no longer hold the values. (1 to 999999). It is expected we will never have
more than 1 million calibrations in the life of the machine.
Each display is held for 1-2 seconds.
The indicator will then continue to do the display test and go to normal weighing.
