(1) If you are using a tension load cell, install a pin or
other device in the coupling of the cell for apply-
ing 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 cell coupling.
(b) Press the LOAD BAL key. The LOAD BAL LED
lights.
(c) Press ENTER. After about 3 seconds, the LOAD
BAL LED goes out indicating that the balance func-
tion is completed.
(d) Press LOAD CAL key. The LOAD CAL LED lights,
but the Main Panel Display goes blank indicating
that the load cell cannot be identified.
(e) On the numeric keypad, key in the maximum capac-
ity of the highest range of the cell in the system of
units in use (S.I., English or metric).
(f) Press ENTER
(g) Hang a calibration weight from the tension cell coupling,
or set a weight on the anvil of a compression 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.
