Electrical Calibration of Non-Self Identifying
Load Cells
To calibrate the load weighing system with a non-self
identifying electrically calibrated tension or compres-
sion load cell installed:
(a) Press the LOAD BAL key. The LOAD BAL LED
lights.
(b) Press ENTER. After about 3 seconds, the LOAD

units in use (S.I., English or metric).
(e) Press ENTER.
Note
The calibration point for electrically calibrated
load cells is the maximum capacity of the next
to the highest range of the cell. For the Instron
low capacity tension load cells, this number
would be as shown in Table 5-1 (for example,
200 for the type 2512-101 cell).
(f) On the numeric keypad, key in the value of the cali-
bration point (refer to the Note above) in the system
of units in use (S.I., English or metric).
