Figure 35. CAL CHECK screen 1/2

When the system thinks it has delivered the product weight requested, the motor
stops and the amount dispensed is shown on the third screen. See Figure 36.
The product dispensed is weighed and then entered using the key pad and
pressing ENTER. Again the programme will give the opportunity for the figure
entered to be corrected. To proceed to the last screen, press ENTER again.

Figure 36. CAL CHECK screen 1/3

The last screen of the programme shows the old and new calibration factors and
the percentage error as shown in Figure 37. Press ENTER to accept the change or
ESC to exit the programme without changing.
