All fields are separated by “;”. The first field shows the firmware version, the last field shows the remaining 
battery power (B0=full charge, B3=minimum power). All other fields show the status of settings and 
features using the same abbreviations as the commands to set them.  
 
Any detected errors are reported back by means of the following error codes: 
 
 *10 

Illegal

*22  Value too large   

 
 

10   CALIBRATION  

 

10.1 Initial Physical Setup 

The sensor should be mounted vertically to a test stand or fixture rugged enough to withstand a load 
equal to the full capacity of the sensor. Certified deadweights, torque arms/wheels, and/or master load 
cells should be used, along with appropriate mounting brackets and fixtures. Caution should be taken 
while handling such equipment.  

 
10.2 Calibration Procedure 

In the interests of simplicity and brevity, the following instructions use force terminology only. Such 
wording is displayed only when a force sensor is being calibrated. When a torque sensor is being 
calibrated, the terms 

COMPRESSION

 and 

TENSION

 are replaced by 

CLOCKWISE

 and 

COUNTER-

CLOCKWISE

, respectively.  

 

1. Select 

Calibration

 from the menu. The display appears as follows:
