4-2. Formula to plan the precise weighing system
This “DN501A” weighing controller’s Max. input sensitivity is 0.45
㎶
/ Digit.
And for precise weighing system, the following formula must be satisfied.
Caution : “Input sensitivity” means Min. output voltage variation of weighing part to change
1digit. So, please do not make large input voltage to make reliable weighing system.
Single Load cell use
dEⅹBⅹD A : Load cell capacity(kg)
B : Load cell Voltage(mV)
D : Digit
E : affirmation Voltage of Load cell
N : Number of Load cell
0.45㎶

Plural Load cells use
dEⅹBⅹD

㎶
AⅹN
Example1.)
Number of Load cell : 1pcs
Load cell capacity : 500kg
Load cell Voltage : 2mV/V
Digit : 0.05kg
Affirmation Voltage of Load cell : 5.0V
Max. Capacity of Weighing System : 300kg
Then, estimation result for this weighing system with formula,
5000ⅹ2ⅹ0.05 = 1 e 0.45㎶The calculated value is larger than 0.45
㎶
,
so this system has no problem.
500
Example2.)
Number of Load cell : 4pcs
Load cell capacity : 500kg
Load cell Voltage : 2mV/V
Digit : 0.10kg
Affirmation Voltage of Load cell : 5.0V
Max. Capacity of Weighing System : 1,000kg
Then, estimation result for this weighing system with formula,
5000ⅹ2ⅹ0.10 = 0.5 e 0.45㎶
The calculated value is larger than
0.45㎶, so this system has no problem.

Chapter 5. Set Up
5-1. Calibration
Adjust weight balance between “Real weight” on the load cell(Weight Part) and “Displayed weight of
Indicator”. When you replace LOAD CELL or Indicator, you have to do Calibration process once again
5-2. Test Weight Calibration (span Calibration) – Mode 1.
- Applicable model : DN500 series
Prepare at least 10% of Max. capacity of your weighing scale.
Step 1. Enter Calibration Mode
Press key during 5 sec display.
Or turn on the Power + with pressing display
Press key display
Press key to start “Calibration Mode”.
Remarks : Go to next step with save key / Back to previous step key
Step 2. Multi-Calibration setting with 4 Section ( display)
P _1 : Section number of Multi-calibration setting
Function : Calibration Section setting for Multi calibration
Set value
(1~4)
Display
Explanation
P 1 You can divide a weight setting from 1 to 4 Section
with max weight.
2-1. If a real curve of load cell is straight line, the calibration section would be 1.
2-2. The multi calibration function is for compensate to load cell’s output by so using a multi-point at
some section when the real curve of load cell is not straight line as like under picture.

2-3. Under display, if press a keypad No. 2, it will be change the section 2.
And, if press a keypad No. 3 or 4 or 1, it will be change the section 3 or 4 or 1.
Then press key, and move to next step.”
2-4. It would be repeat Step 6~7 when progressing over than 2times to the multi calibration.
So, when progress over than 2times of section calibration, for example if you want some calibration to
set 40kg and prepared Test weight as 1kg and 3kg at Step 6, you should input & up-load a 1kg at first
time then you should input & up-load a 3kg when return to Step 6 again.
Step 3. Digit(Division)setting ( display)
Press key and stop the optimal Digit value.
(Whenever pressing key , digit value will be changed, like 01-02-05-10-20-50)
Press key and save change and move to next step.
Step 4. Max. Capacity Setting (

Input Capacity and press key, and move to next step.
※
Caution
(Max. capacity value / division value) cannot be over 30,000(as Indicator resolution is 1/30,000).
Step 5. Zero Balance setting ( display)
Make empty the scale part, and press key.
Indicator check the current Zero balance and save the value and move next step.
Step 6. Span value calculation (
 
)
Input prepared Test weight value with No. keys.
And press key.
Then, display will show and then, load prepared test weight unit on the scale.
After a few seconds(to remove the vibration effect), press key.
Then, indicator will calculate Span value and move the next step.
※
Caution
For the precise Span calibration, please prepare Test weight unit, at least 10% of Max. capacity
of Scale.
Step 7. Check Span Value and Finish the Calibration( )
Check the Calculated Span value.
And after 3sec, will displayed automatically and move to weighing Mode.

5-3. Simulation Calibration Mode (Without Test Weight) – Mode 2.
- This calibration Method will be useful to make calibration more than 10ton capacity setting.
- Guaranteed resolution will be 1/5,000 and if you need higher resolution, please make
calibration with Test weight.
Step 1. Enter to the “SET-CAL” mode
Press key during 5 sec display.
Or turn on the Power + with pressing display
Press key display.
Press key to start “Simulation Calibration Mode”.
Remarks : Go to next step with save key / Back to previous step key Step 2.

Step 5. Input Max. Output Rate (mV/V) value of load cell
Input Max. Output Rate(mV/V) value of load cell with No. keys.
- Under this step, input Max. Output rate(mV) of load cell.
- If you installed a few pieces of load cells, the connection will be parallel, so the rated output of
a few load cells are as same as single load cell’s rated output.
- The Output rate is stated on “Test report” or “Label”
And press key.
Step 6. End Calibration and Auto Reset
- Calculated Span value will be displayed and automatically reset and move the normal
weight indicating mode.
