Calibration with calibration weight
Define calibration parameters
● Enter the marked and described calibration parameters.
①
The defined weight unit applies to all weight specifications. You can specify a string with up to 4
digits as the weight unit, e.g.: t, kg, lbs.
②
Exceeding the maximum weight (= maximum material to be weighed) is indicated in DS30, status
1-2, at parameter "Max 9e". If the maximum weight is exceeded, this bit is set to TRUE.
③
The resolution d is used for the weight display in the SIWATOOL program. You can set the
resolution d in accordance with EN 45501 (0.0001 to 50).
④
Calibration weight 1 and its corresponding calibration digits define the characteristic curve of the
scale.
Use a minimum calibration weight as calibration weight 1, with a load cell characteristic value of:
● 1 mV/V: 4 % of the total rated load of all load cells
● 2 mV/V: 2 % of the total rated load of all load cells
● 4 mV/V: 1 % of the total rated load of all load cells
Example
Number of load cells: 3
Nominal load of one single load cell: 100 kg
Load cell characteristic value: 2 mV/V
Use the following minimum calibration weight for calibration:
2 % x 3 x 100 kg = 6 kg

Send calibration parameters
● Send the calibration parameters set on your PC to SIWAREX.
● Select "Service mode on" in the Service menu. The calibration parameter (DR3) can only be
sent and the calibration commands executed with service mode switched on.
