6.2.3 Nominal force of the force sensor (Nominal load)
In this line, you can set the nominal force of the used force sensor. The nominal force
is specified in kN. The nominal force is achieved at the max. measuring signal of the
force transducer. For a standard signal of 0-10 V, the nominal force is 10 V.

Tap on the input field after 'Nominal force'. The input window containing the nu-
merical keypad appears.

Enter the nominal force using the numerical keypad (enter a point before decimal
places; if no decimal places are entered, then the display shows two decimal
places '.00').

Confirm the entry with the 'ENTER' button.

By tapping on the measurement unit, a window with an alphanumerical keypad
appears. You may enter four characters for the measurement unit.
6.2.4 Offset force sensor
In this line you can enter the offset value of the measuring signal in kN.
The 'Offset' parameter adjusts a possible zero point displacement of the analog meas-
urement signal of the sensor.

Tap on the input field behind 'Offset'. The input window containing the numerical
keypad appears.

Enter the offset value using the numerical keypad (enter a point before decimal
places; if no decimal places are entered, then the display shows two decimal
places '.00').

Confirm the entry with the 'ENTER' button.
6.2.5 Force sensor offset adjustment
By tapping on the 'offset adjustment' button, the actual analog measur-
ing signal of the transmitter is taken as offset.
An offset adjustment is always necessary after changing or adding a force transducer.
Make sure the force transducer is not loaded during the adjustment.
Note
Generally, an offset adjustment should be carried out at least once a
day or after about 1000 measurements
