Analog Output Calibration
The following calibration procedure requires a
multimeter to measure voltage or current output from
the analog output module.
NOTE: The analog output must be calibrated after the
indicator itself has been configured and calibrated.
1. Enter setup mode and go to the ALGOUT
menu (see Figure 3-1):
• Set SOURCE1 for the number of the scale
channel used as the source for the analog
output
• Set MODE1 to track either gross or net
weight from that scale
• Set OFFSET to 0% for 0–10 V or 0–20
mA output; set to 20% for 4–20 mA output
• Set ERRACT to specify how the analog
output will respond to system error
conditions
• Set MIN to lowest weight value to be
tracked by the analog output
• Set MAX to highest weight value to be
tracked by the analog output
2. Connect multimeter to connector J1 on the
analog output card:
• For voltage output, connect voltmeter
leads to pins 3 and 4
• For current output, connect ammeter leads
to pins 1 and 2
3. Adjust zero calibration: Scroll to the
TWZERO parameter. Press to view zero
value, then check voltage or current reading on
multimeter. Use the numeric keypad to adjust
the zero value up or down.
4. Adjust span calibration: Scroll to the TWSPAN
parameter. Press to view span value, then
check voltage or current reading on
multimeter. Use the numeric keypad to adjust
the span value up or down.
5. Final zero calibration: Return to the TWZERO
parameter and verify that the zero calibration
has not drifted. Use the numeric keypad to
adjust the zero value as required.
6. Return to normal mode. Analog output
function can be verified using test weights.
See the 920i Installation Manual, PN 67887, for more
configuration information.
