Hard Calibration 
Process (With 
Calibrated Test 
Weights)

NOTE:

You must perform the calibration setup procedures before performing the Hard Cali-
bration procedures.

Step 1. Make sure to measure the dead load only. 
Step 2. Remove all material from the feeder.
Step 3. Turn off all motors, agitators and any machinery that pro-

duces vibration.

CAUTION

THE ZERO AND SPAN CALIBRATION PROCEDURES MUST BE PER-
FORMED TOGETHER. IF EITHER IS ALTERED, BOTH MUST BE RE-
ENTERED.

ZERO Calibration 
Procedures

Step 1. The ZERO calibration measures the dead load of the feeder 

system in millivolts.

Step 2. Press the Enter button.
Step 3. An information message appears asking you to wait for the 

system to stabilize. Wait for at least 12 seconds.

CAUTION

IF THE DISPLAY IS NOT STABLE, THE WRONG ZERO VALUE WILL BE 
ACCEPTED WHEN YOU PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON. MAKE COM-
PLETELY SURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS STABLE TO YOUR SATISFAC-
TION BEFORE PRESSING THE ENTER BUTTON OR THE SYSTEM WILL 
NOT BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY.

Step 4. Press the Enter button. 
Step 5. The instrument has entered the gross weight (the millivolt sig-

nal) of the system to this point of the calibration process.

SPAN Calibration 
Procedures

Step 1. Place a span test weight equal to 80% to 100% of the scale 

capacity on the scale.

NOTE:

If you do not have a span weight equal to your anticipated live load, use a weight 
equal to 80% of the scale capacity.

Step 2. Press the Clear button to erase the displayed span weight and 

use the numeric key pad to enter the total weight of the test 
weights being used.

Step 3. An information message appears asking you to wait for the 

system to stabilize. Wait for at least 12 seconds for the system 
to stabilize.

CAUTION

IF THE DISPLAY IS NOT STABLE, THE WRONG SPAN VALUE WILL BE 
ACCEPTED WHEN YOU PRESS THE ENTER BUTTON. MAKE COM-
PLETELY SURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS STABLE TO YOUR SATISFAC-
TION BEFORE PRESSING THE ENTER BUTTON OR THE SYSTEM WILL 
NOT BE CALIBRATED CORRECTLY.

Step 4. Press the Enter button.
