Calibration and adjustment
The term "calibration" can be applied in 3 different ways to the EP3356:
• Sensor calibration: once-only calibration of the employed sensor (strain gauge) during commissioning
of the system
• Self-calibration: continuously repeated self-calibration of the box for the improvement of the measuring
accuracy
• Tare: repeated gross/net compensation by taring
Sensor calibration
The EP3356 is matched to the characteristic curve of the sensor element by means of the calibration. Two
values are required for this procedure: the initial value without a load ("zero balance") and fully loaded ("rated
output"). These values can be determined by a calibration protocol or by a calibration using calibration
weights.

Calibration by means of compensation in the system
In the "practical" calibration, measurement takes place first with the scales unloaded, then with a defined
load on the scales. The EP3356 automatically calculates the existing sensor characteristic values from the
measured values.
Sequence:
1. Perform a CoE reset with object 0x1011:01, see
Restoring the delivery state [
) (for declaration of weight in g)
3. Set gravity of earth (
) if necessary (default: 9.806650)
6. Set the filter (
) to the strongest level: IIR8
7. Specify the nominal load of the sensor in
("Nominal load")
8. Zero balance: Do not load the scales. As soon as the measured value indicates a constant value for at
least 10 seconds, execute the command "0x0101" (257dec) on CoE object
command causes the current mV/V value (
) to be entered in the "Zero balance" ob-
must contain "0" after execution
