To enter the SPAN in mV/V (through calculation using the following formula or if the
value is known from previous calibration)
Calculating SPAN
SPAN indicates the equivalent input voltage in mV/V related to the maximum capacity
(Max) of the scale. It is calculated as follows:
SPAN [mV/V] = maximum capacity x load cell sensitivity C
n
[mV/V] / load cell capacity
(maximum capacity E
max
x number of load cells)
load cell sensitivity C
n
= rated output C

(see technical data for the load cell)
[Dead load]
During calibration it has to be decided:
-
whether to use the empty scale as dead load (normal case)
-
or to enter the SPAN in mV/V (if the scale cannot be unloaded or if the value is known
from previous calibration).
Calculate dead load
The input voltage in mV/V equivalent to the dead load can be calculated by using the
dead load rather than the maximum capacity in the formula specified above.
Normally, calculation of the dead load (scale without load or empty vessel) is not
necessary.
Subsequent dead load correction can be used for later re-determination of the dead load,
when the scale or vessel is empty.
