Manual Calibration of Self Identifying Load Cells
Note When manually (deadweight) calibrating a
load cell, use a precision weight that is trace-
able to a particular class as defined by the
National Bureau of Standards.
To calibrate the load weighing system manually with a
self identifying load cell installed:
(a) Do one of the following:
(1) If you are using a tension load cell, install a pin or
other device in the load cell coupling for hanging
a calibration weight.
(2) If you are using a compression load cell, set the
cell on its cap on the base of the load frame. In-
stall an anvil on the load cell coupling.
(b) Press the LOAD BAL key. The LOAD BAL LED
lights.
(c) Press ENTER on the keypad. After about 3 seconds,
the LOAD BAL LED goes out indicating that the bal-
ance function is completed.
(d) Hang a calibration weight from the tension cell cou-
pling, or set the weight on the anvil of the compres-
sion cell.
Note
The calibration weight should be equivalent to
no less than 40% of the maximum value of the
highest range to be used of the installed load
cell. Otherwise, the load weighing system may
not be within the specified 1% accuracy.
