11. Set the rated load for one transducer.
It is assumed that all transducers connected to the instrument have the same
rated load and impedance. The rated load for one transducer, expressed in
the data sheet unit used to calculate the conversion factor (see
9. on page 11),
should be entered.
NOTE! If the data sheet value is for instance 5 kN,
this parameter should be set to 5 000 (N).
Press
+
to get the parameter ‘Rated load’ displayed.
Rated load
2000.0
Press if the parameter value should be edited, and make the editing
like in point 6. on page 9 (numeric parameter).
12. Set the rated output for the transducers.
Rated output for each transducer, a value in mV/V, is given in the data sheet.
For fixed support points the rated output should be set to ”0.00000”.
Press
+
to get the parameter ‘Rated output 1’ displayed.
Rated output 1
2.03900 mV/V
Press if the parameter value should be edited, and make the editing
like in point 6. on page 9 (numeric parameter).
Parameters will follow for the number of support points given at 10. on page 11.
Set the parameter value to the rated output for each transducer/fixed support.
13. Set the scale to zero.
This parameter displays the weight value with actual settings (but with one decimal
more than what is set in ‘Resolution’). Use it to set the weight value to ‘zero’ for
the unloaded scale.
Press
+
to get parameter ‘Set zero’ displayed, and check that the scale is unloaded.
Set zero
XXXX.XXX kg
Press ENTER to set the parameter value to zero.
Set zero
+0000.00 kg
The value is set to zero with leading sign and a cursor blinking.
Press ENTER for 2 seconds.
2 seconds
Set zero
0000.000 kg
The cursor disappears and the zero setting is accepted.
