Load Cell Zero and Full Weight Calibration 

 

The WSB has a set of load cells for weighing the weigh bin.  The load cells must be calibrated periodically with zero 
and full weight calibrations for proper operation and accurate weight reporting.  The zero calibration routine should be 
performed routinely to tare the load cells back to zero or near zero when necessary. The Full weight calibration should 
be performed periodically to set the calibration slope.  Full Weight Recalibration of the load cells is recommended 
every 6 months especially if totals are collected from the blender. The following instructions outline how to calibration 
the weigh bin load cells, identified as the load cell assembly that weighs the removable weigh bin.  
 
Before performing a Zero Weight Calibration or a Zero/Full Weight Calibration, verify the following: 
 

BE SURE

 

the weigh bin is EMPTY.

 

BE SURE

 

the load cell cable is plugged into the side of the controller.

 

BE SURE

 

the weigh bin is resting on the load cells freely and does not make contact with anything around it.

 

BE SURE

 

the air line to the 

weigh bin’s dump valve is connected as it would be during normal operation.

 

BE SURE

 

The load cells and bin are not jammed in any way.  To test for this, see that a light touch on the bin 
causes the display to change.  When the pressure is removed the display must return to exactly 
where it was, plus or minus 1 gram.  If this does not happen, bin is not entirely free to move.  Check 
EVERYTHING around the bin. 

 

Zero Weight Calibration 

 

 

Press 

 

Display will prompt for a password. 

(default: 22222) 

Then 

press: 

 

 

 

 

Press 

Blender Configuration 

Display will show menu options 

Press 

Calibration Routines 

Display will show menu options 

Press 

Calibrate Load Cells 

 

Press 

ZERO 

Display will say: Visually confirm that the weigh bin 
is empty and then press: 

YES

 (if weigh bin is not 

empty it can be dumped using DUMP BIN button).  
 
After pressing ZERO, a gram weight of 

0 

(+/- a few 

grams) should be displayed. 
 
The ZERO calibration of the load cells is complete.   

 

If a FULL WEIGHT calibration is to be performed next, continue to FULL WEIGHT 
CALIBRATION on the next page.   Otherwise, if only the ZERO calibration is to be 
performed at this time, exit calibration mode.

 

 

Press 

 

 

To go back to the Home screen. 

 
FULL weight calibration may also be done at this time. 

FULL Weight Calibration, see next page.
