Parameter #1: Load Cell mV/V
The mV/V output of your load cell: 1, 2 or 3 mV/V. In case the actual output is none
of these values: choosing a value
higher
than the actual will result in loss of
resolution; choosing a
lower
value may result in loss of range, that is, maximum
smaller than the real one.
Refer also to Appendix B.
Parameter #2: Unit
The desired weight unit (g, kg, ton, oz or lb).
Parameter #3: Load Cells Capacity
The maximum capacity of all the load cells in the scale system, according to
manufacturer’s specifications. If the scale system has more than one load cell, e.g.
four load cells of 10 kg then type in 40.
Parameter #4: Maximum Load
Fill in the actual full scale, i.e. the maximum load you plan to put on the scale.
Note
Keep the following condition true:
Maximum load + Dead load <=
Load Cells Capacity.
The known rated mV/V value of the load cell, the Maximum load and the Load Cells
Capacity
–
in whatever measuring units
–
are required in order to calculate the
optimal gain and zero thus drastically accelerating the calibration procedure.
Parameter #5: Resolution
Select the Resolution value of the displayed weight in the selected unit (1g, 0.05kg,
etc.) that fits your application.
