11.8  DR 5 Correction factors for material flow rate 
Data record DR 5 stores the correction factors from the material test. In legal trade 
operation, the data record is write-protected. The material test is used to determine the 
correction factor of a calibrated scale. With a material test, the conveyed amount of material 
is subsequently measured or is already known at the beginning of the test.  
You can use e.g. totalizer 6 for this material test. In order to prevent the material conveyed 
during the test from being included in the balance, stop totalizing using command 652. All 
totalizers then stop except for totalizer 6. You can subsequently reset totalizer 6 using 
command 674 and use it for the test. 
You can determine two different correction points with two different belt loads. A correction 
characteristic is then produced depending on the actual belt load. If only one correction point 
is to be used, set the "Belt load factor 2" parameter to 0 and the "Belt load factor 1" 
parameter to e.g. 40. With this setting, correction factor 1 applies to the complete working 
range of the scale. The influence of the belt speed is not taken into consideration for the 
correction factors. 
Set the correction factors to a value of 1 prior to the test. If this is not possible, you must 
correct (multiply) the existing correction factor with the newly calculated factor.
