When loading condition and output condition for load cell are clear.
(In case desired accuracy is more than 1/1 000 or so.)
Warning ● The accuracy obtained by the calibration of this procedure, consists
from combined accuracy with the instrument and combined strain
gage applied transducer, the accuracy of weight used in the
calibration, error factors on mechanical and also error factors on
calibration works, that is total accuracy. If high accuracy is required,
full consideration should be made on each factors. If neglected, there
may be a case that desired accuracy shall not be obtained.
When high accuracy is required, actual load calibration by the weight is needed.
For example, we’ll show the calibration procedures in the following condition, that is, 3 points
of load cells with 3 mV/V of rated output and 5 t of rated capacity.
Tare weight : 1.5 t
Weighing capacity : 5 t
Maximum display value : 5 000

Execute the calibration with the load cell section applied initial load(tare weight), according to
paragraph 5−2−1. In this case, make input to “5 000” in step 5, and “1.000 00” in step 7 each.

Apply fine adjustment according to the paragraph 5−2−2. At the same time, apply 5 t load as
for “the optional constant load”.
