7.4.4 Re-calculating the Calibration Factor
The actual calibration factor can also be determined by a simple calculation
using the actual weight and the displayed weight as follows :
Correct factor = Existing factor x Actual weight
Displayed weight
For example: The existing calibration factor is 1.500. The displayed weight
was 780 kg but the actual weight dispensed was 1000kg.
The correct factor is 1.500 x (1000/780) = 1.923
7.4.5 Adjusting the Calibration Factor
NOTE: The factory default Calibration Factor = 1.000
1. Select Cal Mode 3 by pressing the
button and switching the instrument on
again (fig.6). The instrument defaults to
the channel.
2. Press the button to select the
channel.
The calibration factor is displayed and the

3. PRESS and RELEASE the button to
select the digit or decimal point to
change.
