Analog Output Calibration Procedure

1.   From the previous step in the Setup procedure  press 

UNITS > 

CAL

 is displayed.

2.   Ideally you should directly connect the analog input device to the Analog Option card to calibrate the  

 

analog output, but a digital multimeter can also be used to establish the initial calibration. Fine adjustments  

 

can then be made when connected to the user instrument.

3. Press 

SELECT > 

ZERO

 is displayed. Always perform the 

ZERO

 calibration prior to the 

SPAN

 adjustment

4.   Use the following keys to adjust the analog output signal during the Zero and Span calibration

 TARE

 will add +0.1 %  

SELECT

 will subtract -0.1 %

 PRINT

 will add +5.0 %  

UNITS

 will subtract -5.0 %

 

When setting the 

ZERO

 adjustment approach the analog zero setting from the positive side of zero

 

Example

: On a 4 to 20 mA adjustment, make the necessary adjustments until just slightly above 4.00 mA. 

Then press the 

SELECT

 key until the external device indicates 4.00 mA. Do not press 

SELECT

 again as this 

may cause non-linear readings at intermediate weight values

 

5. Press 

ZERO > 

ZERO

 is displayed

6. Press 

UNITS > 

SPAN

 is displayed

 

When setting the 

SPAN

 adjustment approach the analog span setting from the low side of span

Example

: On a 4 to 20 mA adjustment, make the necessary adjustments until just slightly below 20.00 mA. 

Then press the 

TARE

 key until the external device indicates 20.00 mA. Do not press 

TARE

 again as this may 

cause non-linear readings at intermediate weight values.  

NOTE: 

It is recommended to re-check the Zero  

calibration setting if significant adjustments were made during the Span calibration to insure proper adjustment

7. Press 

ZERO >

operation for the selected system parameter Initial  

 

default settings: 

LO = 0

HI = 5000

 (default   

 

capacity of the indicator)

13. Press 

SELECT > 

LO

 

is displayed

14. Press 

SELECT

 > previous value is displayed 

 

Enter the minimum value where the analog output  

 

signal range begins. Typically, 

LO = 0

 but any    

 

value can be entered to set the starting point for  

 

the minimum analog output signal

15. Press 

ZERO > 

LO

 

is displayed

16. Press 

UNITS > 

HI

 is displayed

17. Press 

SELECT

 > previous value is displayed

 

Enter the maximum value where the analog  

 

output signal range ends. Typically, 

HI = 

the  

 

capacity of the scale but any value can be entered  

 

to set the end point for the maximum analog  

 

output signal.
