SECTION 10 – CELLSCALE CALIBRATION
CALIBRATE GENERAL INFORMATION
The following sections are intended for qualified scale technicians. The CellScale can be calibrated either directly
using the Terminal Interface mode, or by using a 3750CS. See the CellScale operators guide for information on
direct calibration. This section details the calibration of a CellScale
using the 3750CS RF Weighmeter. Calibrat-
ing a CellScale with a 3750CS Meter requires that adequate test weights (10% of capacity, if the scale is linear),
certified by the appropriate regulatory agency, are available. See the “Calibration Flowchart” for an overview of
the calibration process.
Calibration constants are stored only in the CellScale. The 3750CS serves only as a controller during calibration.
Since a single CellScale is capable of hosting up to 32 independent scales, the scale to be calibrated must be selected first using the SC Index Key. To Calibrate
multiple Scale Inputs, you must complete the first calibration. Then exit out of the Calibration Menus. Select the next scale with the SC Index Key. Then enable
Calibration again.
NIST Approved Scales: The seal switch on the remote CellScale must be pressed before calibration can begin.
The 3750CS ID must be set as the LFT controller in the CellScale Master.
For a new installation, replacing the CellScale, or setting the Capacity and/or Count-by (d):
1) Select the scale input for calibration using the SC Index Key. See “Accessing multiple scale inputs”.
2) Follow the “Reset Calibration” procedure below.
3) If the unit is legal for trade, set the appropriate standard with the “LEGAL STANDARD” procedure. If the
unit is to be used with metric units only set the standard to “METRIC”, else use “INDUSTRY”.
4) Follow the “CALIBRATION” procedure to set capacity, “d”, and then calibrate.
5) Reseal the Cal’ port when finished.
For recalibration of a previously calibrated CellScale:
1) Select the scale input for calibration using the SC Index Key. See “Accessing multiple scale inputs”.
2) First follow the “Enable Calibration” procedure below.
3) Next, follow the procedure in the “CALIBRATION” section, skipping steps 3 through 10 as instructed in the
procedure.
4) Reseal the Cal port when finished.
ENABLE CALIBRATION
To enable the Calibration Menus
DO NOT initiate either of the following two procedures unless you are prepared and qualified to perform a complete
initialization and/or a calibration procedure. The first procedure completely clears the CellScales calibration data for
the chosen scale channel. A full calibration must follow this operation. The second procedure returns all the 3750CS
registers to defaults. However calibration in the CellScale is unaffected.

STD CAL
1) Expose the Calibration Seal Port by removing the
seal screw on the left side of the 3750 Meter Casting
with a Phillips Head Screwdriver.
2) Insert a small non-metallic screwdriver or the wooden
stem of a “Q-Tip” and press the switch button in the
hole. The display reads “CALSETUP”.
Tip: A wooden Golf Tee fits the hole perfectly.
3) After 3 seconds the Calibrate Setup Menu appears
(STD CAL). Use the UP or DOWN scroll keys to
locate the desired Calibrate operation as described
in the following procedures.
