Scaling Without Known Loads
(Continued)

To define the maximum load (

IN!2

and 

RD!2

):

1. Repeat steps 3–8 above, entering the values for

IN!2

and

RD!2

.

2. Once you've completed all steps, the unit displays: 

To begin operation:
Reinitialize the unit (press 

RESET

twice

or press 

MENU

until 

RST

flashes on the

display). When a numeric reading
appears, the unit is operational.

Determining Reading Offset

The run mode reading for meters scaled without known loads
may reflect an offset. For example, say you set 

RD!1

to 0 and

RD!2

to 100, but when the minimum load is applied, a

negative value of –1.5 displays on the front panel.
To correct the reading offset:
1. With zero load applied, note the reading on the display.

2. Subtract that amount from the 

RD!1

and 

RD!2

values you

originally entered.

In the example, the offset would be –1.5. If 

RD!1

is to read

0 in Run Mode, it must be reentered as 1.5. 

RD!2

must

likewise be reentered as 101.5 if the meter is to read 100
when the maximum load is applied.

3. Repeat the steps for "Scaling Without Known Loads," but

when the values for 

IN!1

and 

IN!2

display, do not change

them. Instead, press 

MENU

to move to the prompts for

RD!1

and 

RD!2

and make the necessary changes.

4. Reinitialize the unit and resume operation.

Scaling Without Known Loads

For 0–100 mV sensors, the values for the minimum and
maximum input loads are always as follows:

• Minimum load (

IN!1

) — 0

• Maximum load (

IN!2

) — 9999.

If your installation uses a different sensor type, you must 
calculate the values for 

IN!1

and 

IN!2

before proceeding

with the steps below.  Use the formula provided in the
Operator's Manual.

To define the minimum load (

IN!1

and 

RD!1

):

1. If it's not already shown, press 

MENU

until the unit displays: 

2. Press 

/TARE

. The unit displays: 

3. Press 

/TARE

again. The unit

displays the last setting for 

IN!1

.

(The first digit flashes.)

4. Change 

IN!1

as necessary:

• Press 

/NT/GRS

to set or change the digit's current value.

Continue to press 

/NT/GRS

until the meter displays the

desired value for the flashing digit. Values can range from 0 to 9.
For the first digit, you can also enter a minus sign (–) or –1.

• Press 

/TARE

to scroll to the digit(s) you want to change.

5. Press 

MENU

to store 

IN!1

.

The unit displays:

6. Press 

/TARE

. The unit displays 

the last setting for 

RD!1

(The first digit flashes.)

7. Change 

RD!1

as necessary:

• Press 

/NT/GRS

until the meter displays the desired

value for the flashing digit. Values can range from 0 to 9.
For the first digit, you can also enter a minus sign (–) or –1.

• Press 

/TARE

to scroll to the digit(s) you want to change.

8. Press 

MENU

to store the value

shown for 

RD!1

. The unit displays:

6. Press 

MENU

to store 

IN!1

. The unit

displays:

7. Press 

/TARE

. The unit displays the

last setting for 

RD!1

.

8. Change 

RD!1

as necessary:

• Press 

/TARE

to scroll to the digit(s) you want to change

(it flashes on the display).

• Press 

/NT/GRS

to change the value of the flashing digit.

Values can range from 0 to 9. For the first digit, you can
also enter a minus sign (–) or –1.

9. Press 

MENU

to store the value shown

for 

RD!1

. The unit displays:

To identify the maximum known load (

IN!2

and 

RD!2

):

1. Apply the maximum known load (100%).

2. Repeat steps 4–9 for

IN!2

and

RD!2

.

Once you've completed all steps, the unit displays:

To begin operation:

Reinitialize the unit (press 

RESET

twice or press 

MENU

until 

RST

flashes on the display). When a
numeric reading appears, the unit is
operational.

Scaling With Known Loads

To identify the minimum known load (

IN!1

and 

RD!1

):

1. If it's not already shown, press 

MENU

until the unit displays:

2. Apply the minimum known load (0%).

3. Press 

/TARE

. The unit displays:

4. Press 

/TARE

again. The unit

displays the last setting for 

IN!1

.

5. Press 

/TARE

again. The unit

displays the actual reading being
received from the sending device.

To Scale the Meter

You can scale the meter in one of two ways:
1. With a known load — This method uses input (load)

information sent from another device such as a scale or a
simulator for voltage or current.

2. Without a known load — This involves calculating the load

based on transducer specifications and manually entering
it to the meter.

For both methods, you must first identify the minimum input
load 

IN!1

and the corresponding display reading you want

RD!1

. Then you identify the maximum input load 

IN!2

and

its corresponding display reading 

RD!2

.

The decimal point is for display purposes only — you set it
where you want it to display for your application. When
entering 

IN!1

and 

IN!2

values, ignore any decimal point on

the display. However, you must enter 

RD!1

and 

RD!2

values

with the decimal point in the desired position.
