Routine Span
To perform a routine span recalibration, ensure material flow is stopped and the prefeed is locked out. Attach
the test weight to the flowmeter sensing plate. Refer to the associated flowmeter manual.

Display Message normally indicates a mechanical problem. Investigate the cause of
the deviation and make the correction necessary. Retry the span calibration. If the
deviation is determined to be acceptable, perhaps as the result of an intended
mechanical change to the system, set P88 to 1 to invoke a new "Initial Span
Calibration Reference". Further deviations will be based on this new Span.
