Calibration
The indicator is calibrated by following the procedures embedded in P11 (Zero) and P12
(Span) of the Setup Menu. Each procedure enters a value into the indicator's non-volatile
memory:
P11 is the zero value (deadweight)
P12 is the span value (test weight).
The minimum test weight that can be used is 1% of the full-scale capacity. After the two
calibration procedures are executed successfully, a record should be made of both
calibration values in the Calibration Table below using the P 18 View procedure. NOTE: This
chapter assumes that the indicator is in Setup (“P”) Menu mode.

f. Repeat Steps b-e using different test weights then proceed to Step “C3”.
g. Repeat Steps b-e using different test weights. Proceed to P12.
h. If the calibration was not successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take
the indicated action to correct the problem then perform a new calibration.
"Err0" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is larger than the
full capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data.
"Err1" - The calibration test weight or the adjusted keyed-in weight is smaller than 1%
of the full capacity of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input
data.
"Err2" - The internal resolution of the scale is not high enough to accept the calibration
value.
