5.6 Calibrating the System
The HI6800 Series Application Controller must be calibrated upon installation. For more
information about calibration and other system setup parameters, see section 5.3.
Note:
Retail scales, used in legal or trade applications, must be verified and
sealed by an approved agency per the metrological directives. Please contact
Hardy Field Service with any questions.
5.6.1 Performing C2 Calibration
Path:
Home screen > Operation Menu > Calibration > C2 Calibration
C2 calibration calibrates a scale system electronically without using certified test weights. It uses
up to eight load sensors, a junction box, interconnect cable, and an instrument with C2
capabilities, such as the HI6800 Series Application Controller. Digital information within an HI C2-
certified load sensor details its unique performance characteristics. The HI6800 Series Application
Controller reads the performance characteristics of each load sensor and detects the number
of load sensors in the system.
