Calibration 3-5
3.
Check the Load display. If it reads b50 and -50, you are finished.
4.
If the Load display continues to show a value outside this range, the strain link is bad and
should be replaced. Contact Wintriss Tech. Support for assistance.
Recording Tonnage on an AutoSet Calibration Kit
Setting Up and Adjusting the Calibration Kit
This procedure shows you how to set up the AutoSet 1500 calibration kit and adjust it to
display the correct tonnage applied to the load cells. If you are using another calibration kit to
measure tonnage on the load cells, follow the instructions provided by that manufacturer.
The AutoSet 1500 calibration kit should contain the following items:
•
Calibration modules. These are small enclosures with cables attached. A connector on
the end of each cable plugs into one of the strain link connectors on the AutoSet
processor board. Each calibration module enclosure provides a screw-in connector for
the cable from one of the load cells.
•
Up to two load cells and cables. Use one load cell (single-point calibration) if your
press has only one connecting rod (Pitman), two load cells (double-point calibration) if
you have two (or more) connecting rods. Load cells are placed under the connecting
rods.
To adjust the calibration kit to display the correct tonnage applied to the load cells, perform
the following steps, referring to Figure 3-2, page 3-6 or Figure 3-3, page 3-7 for location of
components on old- and new-style processor boards. If your AutoSet calibration kit has the
current version 2.0 processor board installed, refer to Figure 2-4, page 2-6 for component
locations.
1.
Open the cover of the AutoSet 1500 calibration unit enclosure.
2.
For one-cell calibration, take one calibration module and plug the connector on the cable
into the terminal block labelled “Left Input” (TB6) at the lower right of the AutoSet
processor board. The connector plugs in one way only. If a connector is already plugged
into this slot, remove it before plugging in the connector from the calibration module.
Connect a jumper wire between terminals 2 and 3 on one of the five-pin connectors
supplied with the calibration kit, and plug the connector into the terminal block labelled
“Right Input” (TB7) at the lower right of the AutoSet processor board.
USE OF HYDRAULIC JACK FOR CALIBRATION NOT RECOMMENDED
Wintriss does not recommend use of an hydraulic jack for calibration. An hydraulic jack is much
less accurate than load cells and more difficult to use. For more information on hydraulic jack
calibration, contact Wintriss Tech. Support.
