Procedure
The Chatillon DFX II Series is supplied with a Cer-
tificate of Conformance. The gauge was tested and
found to have a measurement accuracy of 0.5% of
full scale or better.
Calibration Procedure
The DFX II Series calibration procedure is contained
in the gauge firmware. The calibration is a four
point calibration: full scale compression, zero com-
pression, full scale tension, zero tension.
To access the calibration routine, begin with the
gauge power OFF.
Press the ON key. While the “Chatillon Logo” is
displayed, press PEAK then UNITS.
