• The gage will display nuLL and wait for the operator
to complete all set-up procedures and stop all motion.
H.3.2 Step-by Step Auto-Calibration Procedure
Step 1: Set-up weight hanger fixture.
Install appropriate weight hanging fixture before starting
calibration.
Step 2: Condition the load cell.
The load cell must be “conditioned” before the gage is
zeroed. Apply two conditioning cycles in tension (or
compression) by applying then removing full scale weights
twice.
Conditioning reduces internal load cell stresses and tightens
grips or fixtures for better accuracy and repeatability.
Step 3: Measure the zero value.
Make sure all motion has stopped.
Press SELECT to tare the fixture weight and capture the
zero value.
The display will momentarily flash all zeros.
Step 4: Apply full scale weight.
The display shows how much weight to apply.
This will always be equal to the full scale capacity of
the gage: 10.00 lbf, 25.00 lbf, 50.00 lbf, 100.0 lbf or,
5.000 kgf, 10.00 kgf, 25.00 kgf, 50.00 kgf.
• Apply the appropriate pound or kilogram full scale weight.
• Make sure all motion has stopped.
• Press SELECT.
The display will momentarily flash all zeros.
Step 5: Verify as needed.
The display is showing the non-peak real time value.
If desired, verify the new calibration as described in Section H.2 Verification
