ZT-1 User’s Manual – Operation 

DOC #18172                                                                                                                                  Page 26 

       

 

 

 

 

 
 

4)  Install Shunt Resistor provided with each load cell, enclosed in calibration data report 

plastic cover.   

5)  Balance the load cell to zero. 

 

  Adjust the ZERO pot until digital voltmeter shows 0.000 volts. 

 
Note:  Measure output voltage with a digital voltmeter across the OUT and COM 
terminals (see Figure 13). 

 

 

 

6)   
 

  Set the mode switches to AZ OFF, PRB, PEAK, and ZERO.
