6.3.2 Calibration 
6.3.2.1 Procedure 
To change the calibration-data and calibration-parameters (parameters 21...53), P20 has to be set to 
Start previously, afterwards the P20 has to be set to Save (to store) or Undo (to indicate that the 
changes are not valid).  
The access to parameter 21…53 will deliver an error message, if  CalActiv  is not set. 
P21 - P24 and P27 can only written. Reading will result in an error code108. 
 
The calibration data (parameters 21...27) must be written in a specific sequence. 
 
The calibration parameter (parameters 40...53) can be written in any sequence. 
 
1. Example for a new calibration with mV/V: 
•  Parameter 20 = 1 
•  All parameter writing (P40 .. P53) 
•  Parameter 20 = 5 Ö  set span = 1.000000 mV/V, deadload = 0.000000 mV/V, FSD=3000kg, 
step = 1 
•  Parameter 21 = 0x000FA013  Ù 400,0kg 
•  Parameter 22 = 2    Ù 2    stepwidth 
•  Parameter 25 = 5670     Ù 0.00567  mV/V 
•  Parameter 26 = 1234500   Ù 1.23450  mV/V 
•  Parameter 20 = 3    save and exit calibration 
After each step, the error has to be tested under each circumstances. 
 
2. Example for a new calibration with weights: 
•  Parameter 20 = 1 
•  All parameter writing (P40 .. P53) 
•  Parameter 20 = 5 Ö  set span = 1.000000 mV/V, deadload = 0.000000 mV/V, FSD=3000kg, 
step = 1 
•  Parameter 21 = 0x000FA013  Ù 400,0kg 
•  Parameter 22 = 2    Ù 2    stepwidth 
unload the scale 
•  Parameter 23 = 1     Ù the actual weight is taken for the deadload 
load the scale with a known calibration weight (e.g. 250,0kg) 
•  Parameter 24 = 2500     Ù 250,0kg 
•  Parameter 20 = 3    save and exit calibration 
After each step, the error has to be tested under each circumstances.
