3.1 Initial Setup
The following steps describe the minimum configuration procedures to perform when setting
up the HI 6200 for the first time. Perform these procedures in the order shown.
For detailed descriptions of scale parameters and how to use them when setting up a scale
system, see Chapter 5.
1. Choose a calibration method:
C2
OR
Hard Cal
(not both).
Recommended Method: Perform C2 – Electronic Calibration:
a. Remove all live weight from the scale. Leave all dead load weight, like vessels,
mixers, etc. on the scale.
b. Press
Do C2 Cal
.
c. Place a verification weight on the scale to ensure the weight reading matches and that
calibration is successful.
Alternate Method: Perform Hard Cal
-
Traditional
a. Traditional Calibration requires a zero point and the physical placement of test weights
on the scale. To set the Zero Value, if all “live load” weight is removed from the Scale,
the Zero Value should be 0.00. If any weight is on the scale when setting this value,
the weight must be equal to the amount of load on the scale.
b. Wait 12 seconds or more.
c. Click in the Ref Weight text field and enter the reference weight you want. In our
example, we entered 0 lbs. If you want the reference weight to be 5.0 lbs., enter 5.0.
d. Click the Do Cal Low button to do the Trad Cal Zero. A “Cal Completed OK” message
appears briefly if the calibration was successful. An Error number appears if the
calibration was not successful. See the Error list in Chapter 8 for help in correcting the
error.
e. To set the Span Weight, place a certified test weight on the scale.
f. In the Span Weight text field, enter the amount of live load weight placed on the scale.
g. Click the Do Cal High button. A “Cal Completed OK” message appears briefly if the
calibration was successful.
h. An Error message appears if the calibration was not successful. See the error list in
Chapter 8, for help in correcting errors.
i. Step 9. The scale is now calibrated
