CALIBRATING YOUR CONTROLLER
There are four basic feeder parameters involved with calibration.
1. Belt Length. This value is simply entered into the controller, after the belt length has been
measured. See Length, on page 28.
2. Number of pulses for one belt revolution. This is set by the Speed Calibration procedure, page
49. Together with the belt length, this value is used to determine the belt speed, belt travel and
the duration of calibration procedures. See also Pulses / Rev on page 28.
3. Zero Load. This is the load presented to the load cell or load cells by the belt and weigh
suspension. It is set by the Zeroing Procedure, page 50. For this procedure to work properly,
the number of pulses for one belt revolution must be correct.
4. Load Scale Factor. This is a multipliers used to convert the data from the Load Cell A/D
converter to lb/ft or kg/m. The Material Calibration, page 51, Chain Procedure, page 52,
Weight Procedure, page 53, Electronic Calibration, page 54 and Grab Sample Calibration,
page 56 are all used to set the Load Scale Factor. They all require that the Zero Load is set
properly. All but the Material Calibration require accurate values for Belt Length and Number of
pulses for one belt revolution.
Before attempting to calibrate the feeder, insure that all values and parameters from the
Specification Sheet have been entered into the controller correctly. Improper entry of some values
in the controller can cause inaccurate calibration of the feeder. Below is a checklist with the order
in which calibration tests should be accomplished. The first time a controller is installed all of the
Calibration Routines listed below should be completed for proper operation. After the initial
calibration is complete, it is normal to re-calibrate the feeder periodically by completing a Zeroing
Procedure and then a Calibration Procedure.
INITIAL CALIBRATION CHECKLIST
The following numbered list specifies the order that the calibration tests should be performed.
1. Measure and enter the Belt Length. See Pulses / Rev on page 28
2. Run a Speed Calibration procedure, page 49
3. Run a Zeroing Procedure, page 50.
4. If you can, run a Material Calibration, page 51, followed by a Chain Factor Procedure, page
53, a Weight Factor Procedure, page 54 and an E-Cal Factor Procedure, page 55.
5. If you can’t run a Material Calibration, run a Chain Procedure, page 52, followed by a
Weight Factor Procedure, page 54 and an E-Cal Factor Procedure, page 55.
6. If you can’t run a Material Calibration or a Chain Procedure, run a Weight Procedure, page
53, followed by an E-Cal Factor Procedure, page 55.
7. If you can’t run a Material Calibration, Chain Procedure or Weight Procedure, run a
Electronic Calibration, page 54.
8. As the last resort, use the Grab Sample Calibration method. See page 56.
