3.5 Application Modes
Two application modes are available : Weigh and Checkweigh. To enable the Checkweigh mode,
Checkweigh must be turned on in the Mode menu (refer to Section 3.7.5).
3.5.1 Weighing
Determines the weight of an item in the selected unit of measure. Scale is shipped with kilograms
(kg) and pounds (lb) enabled. To enable other units of measure, they must be turned on in the
Unit menu (refer to Section 3.7.4).
3.5.2 Checkweighing
Use this mode to compare the weight of an item to Under and Over target limits. When the checkweigh
mode is enabled, the “CHECK” indicator will turn on.
To set the target limits, refer to Section 3.6 Checkweigh Target Settings.
Place the sample on the weighing pan. If the sample weight is under the target weight range, the
yellow LED will light. If the sample is within the target weight range, the green LED will light. If the
sample is over the target weight range, the red LED will light. The LED indication is complemented by
an audible alert feature (refer to Section 3.7.5).
Normal Checkweighing
Set both targets as positive values, where the lightest acceptable weight is entered as the Under target
limit and the heaviest acceptable weight is entered as the Over target limit. Items placed on the pan
will be compared to the targets.

Valor 5000 Series EN-12
Negative Checkweighing
In “Negative” checkweighing, the part of an item subsequently removed from the pan is checked
against the target limits. This method may be preferred in portioning applications.
• Set both targets as negative values, where the lightest acceptable weight is entered as the Under
target limit and the heaviest acceptable weight is entered as the Over target limit.
• Place a quantity of items on the pan.
• Tare the items.
• Remove a portion of the items from the pan.
• The amount removed will be compared to the targets.
“Zero” Checkweighing
In ”Zero” checkweighing, displayed results will show the deviation of the sample’s weight from a
reference or ideal weight. This approach may be more preferred for grading or sorting applications.
• Set the targets using a negative value (negative tolerance) for the Under limit and a positive value
(positive tolerance) for the Over limit.
• Place the reference weight on the pan.
• Tare the reference weight and remove it from the pan.
• Place the item on the pan to be checked against the reference weight.
• The display will show a negative, positive or ‘0” value if the sample is less than, more than or equal
to the reference weight, respectively.
3.6 Checkweigh Target Settings
To set the target limits, begin by pressing the TARGET button. The value of the Under target limit will
be displayed first, with the left-most digit blinking.
Note::
::
: The scale must be in checkweigh mode to be able to enter or modify target values.
• To change the Under target limit, press the No button to increment the flashing digit, the Yes button
to shift to the next digit and the Exit button to change the sign.
• Press the TARE button to toggle the display between a positive and negative value.
• To accept the Under target limit, press the TARGET button.
• Next, the value of the Over target limit will be displayed, with the left-most digit blinking.

3.7.1 Calibration sub-menu
Note: Calibration is not available when the scale has been set to Legal for Trade operation (LFT set to
ON in the Setup sub-menu, refer to Section 3.7.2).
Calibration Types – Calibration can be adjusted in two ways, Span and Linearity. Span calibration
uses two calibration points to adjust the sensitivity of the scale. Linearity calibration uses three
calibration points to correct for non-linear weighing results.
Calibration Weights – Before beginning calibration, make sure that the required calibration weights are
available. The model-specific calibration points are listed in the table below.
TABLE 3-3. CALIBRATION POINTS.
Notes:
1. Default calibration points are shown in bold print.
2. Calibration Units kg or lb are selected in the Setup sub-menu (Section 3.7.2.)
3. ASTM Class 4 or OIML Class F2 weights are required for calibration.

.
• The display will show “--C--”, followed by the span
calibration weight value.
• If desired, press No to change to an alternate span
calibration weight value.
• Place the indicated calibration weight on the scale and
press Yes.
• The display will show “--C--”, then “done” and then
revert to weighing. Remove the calibration weight.
Note: The calibration procedure can be canceled at any
time by pressing the Exit button or turning the scale off.
Linearity Calibration Procedure
• When LIN is displayed, press Yes to begin the linearity
calibration process.
• Clear the pan if prompted to do so, then press Yes.
• The display will show “--C--”, followed by the first
calibration weight value.
• If desired, press No to change to an alternate first
calibration weight value.
• Place the indicated calibration weight on the scale
and press Yes.
• The display will show “--C--”, followed by the second
calibration weight value.
• Place the indicated calibration weight on the scale
and press Yes.
