| To Calibrate A Sensor
without a "Smart Chip": |
| There are two methods to
calibrate a sensor without a smart chip. One calibrates using the Rated Output
of the sensor and a maximum capacity while the other requires an actual dead
weight load. The directions are below. The first set of directions is for both
methods of configuration and the second set is only necessary for those
calibrating the meter by use of actual load on the sensor. |
| 1. |
Press both the Mode and
Unit keys together |
| 2. |
Press the Next key until 'CAL'
appears. |
| 3. |
Press the Save key to select
'CAL' |
| 4. |
Use the Next key to choose the
memory location for the information of the sensor you are using
(1-15). |
| 5. |
Press the Save key to select the
desired memory location. |
| 6. |
The current information for this
location will now be displayed. In the upper right corner the display will read
‘Range’. Here you are to enter in the maximum capacity of your sensor (do not
worry about the decimal place, you can move it later). |
| 7. |
Press the Save key to store your
value. |
| 8. |
Now you are to select the desired
position for the decimal point. Using the Next key select the position
for the decimal point. |
| 9. |
Press the Save key to store the
position. |
| 10. |
An arrow will point to the units written
on the meter. Using the Units key to move the arrow select your desired
units. |
| 11. |
Press the Save key to store your
choice. |
| 12. |
mV/V will appear in the lower right of
the display. Enter your rated output in mV/V for the one (tension/compression,
clockwise/counterclockwise) direction
(How to Enter Numbers..) |
| 13. |
Press the Save key to store your
value. |
| 14. |
Enter the rated output in mV/ V for the
other direction.
(How to Enter Numbers..) |
| 15. |
Press the Save key to store your
value. |
| 16. |
The display will now show ‘CALC’. If you
are not calibrating with a dead load press save. Your meter is now
calibrated.
|
| If you are using a dead
weight load follow the directions below: |
| 1. |
When the display shows 'CALC' press the
Next key. |
| 2. |
"Cert" will appear, press
Save. |
| 3. |
CCW CALO will appear. This means that
the meter is ready to take a counter clockwise (tension/compression) zero
reading. |
| 4. |
Load the transducer three times to full
scale in the counterclockwise direction with dead weight and remove the weight.
Wait 30 seconds for the meter to settle and press both Increase and
Next at the same time |
| 5. |
The display will now show CCW FS which
is prompting you to apply the Full-Scale weight to the arm in the
counterclockwise direction (or tension/compresion direction). Apply the full
scale weights and press the Save key |
| 6. |
With the full scale load applied enter
in the numerical value of the load into the meter.
(How to Enter Numbers..) |
| 7. |
Press the Save
key. |
| 8. |
The display will now read CW CALO.
Repeat steps 3 to 7 above for the clockwise (tension/compression, opposite of
what was entered in first) direction |
| 9. |
Once you are done you will exit and be
in the run mode with the display reading the calibrated full scale clockwise
value. The calibration data you just created will be saved in the memory of the
meter, under the memory location you chose
earlier |
