6.4.4 CALIBRATION (CALIBRATION)
Calibration of the measuring instrument is carried out by the manufacturer's service
personnel. Detailed information in this regard can be obtained from SAUTER's dealer
or directly from the manufacturer.
6.4.5 DIAGNOSTIC (DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION)
This function is used to check the status of the load cell. If there are indications that
the load cell transformer has been overloaded, it is possible to check the state of the
load cell directly.
To do this, place the measuring instrument horizontally on a level, horizontal surface
and call up the main menu screen. Select the DIAGNOSTIC function with the UP or
DOWN arrow keys and press ENTER. The "Diagnostic" menu mask appears on the
display. To return to the main menu screen, press the ESC key.
DIAGNOSTIC
OVERLOAD COUNT: 2
Total overload measurement
ORG. OFFSET : +0.4 %
Offset value from the last calibration (%)
CUR. OFFSET : +0.4 %
Current offset value (%)
If the offset value is in the range of 5% to 10%, contact the instrument supplier to have
a new calibration performed.
If the offset value exceeds 10%, contact the device supplier to have the load cell
replaced.
The values given are only approximate values. Calibration/repair of the instrument can
be caused by various circumstances. This is due to device-specific parameters of the
load cell.
