19.  SCALE METER CALIBRATION  

 

 

All  analog  input  and  analog  output  ranges  of  the  meter  have  been  digitally  calibrated  at  the 
factory  prior  to  shipment  using  calibration  equipment  certified  to  NIST  standards.  Calibration 
constants  are  stored  digitally  in  non-volatile  memory  in  EEPROM  on  the  signal  conditioner 
board and  analog output  board.  As  a  result,  these  boards may  be  changed  without  requiring 
meter recalibration. 

If  recalibration  is  required,  the  meter  may  be  returned  to  the  factory  or  to  any  authorized 
distributor. Easy calibration of DC and load cell signal conditioner ranges is possible using our 
Instrument Setup software. To allow computer aided calibration, an RS232 or RS485 interface 
card  must  be  installed  in  the  meter.  This  card  may  be  installed  temporarily  and  be  removed 
following calibration. Step-by-step instructions and advanced calibration software are available 
from the factory.
