C02

7. Press PRINT

 to access the C2 channel. The display should show [

C2 

 #].

12. Press PRINT

 to set the value. The display will now show 

C04

.

13. Press PRINT

 to access the C4 channel. The display will show [######].

14. Enter in the maximum capacity you want to use for this scale by using UNIT  and 

COUNT   to move the cursor left and right, and TARE   and ZERO 

 

to move the 

values down and up. (The C4 channel is used to enter in the max capacity of the 
scale; Make sure this doesn’t exceed the max capacity of the scale; Max capacity 
divided by the increment set in C02 and C03 above cannot exceed 5000.) 

15. Press PRINT

 

 to set the value. The display will now show 

C05

.

16. Press PRINT

OP-900 offers 2 calibration methods, Single Point which uses one weight to calibrate or 
Linear Calibration, which uses multiple (2-7) weights for a more accurate calibration.  

To Calibrate using only 1 calibration weight (Single Point Calibration) 

20. Press PRINT

 to continue. The display will now show 

C06

.

21. Press PRINT

 to access the C06 channel. The display will show [

C6  0
