CHAPTER 6: SCALE CALIBRATION

6.1

SCALE CALIBRATION OVERVIEW

The  PALLET  RUNNER  3000  scale  may  be  calibrated  with  any  precision  test  weight

between 30 pounds and 3000 pounds. The recommended test weight is 2000 pounds, but

in general the larger the test weight, the more accurate the scale will be.

Before you can calibrate the scale, you must enter the Setup Menu. See Section 5.2.1 for

instructions on how to do this.

6.2

ZERO CALIBRATION (F16)

1.  While in the Setup mode, scroll to "

F 16

", then scroll down once using the ZERO/OFF

key to enter zero calibration menu. The display will momentarily show "

C 0

" followed by

a  value.  This  value  is  the  internal  A/D  count  and  can  prove  useful  when  trying  to

troubleshoot setup problems.

2.  After making sure that there are no test weights on the platform, press the ZERO/OFF

key again to zero out the displayed value.

3.  Press the NET/GROSS key to save the zero point value. The display will show "

EndC0

"

momentarily,  then  revert  back  up  to  F16.  At  this  time,  proceed  to  the  F17  span

calibration to complete indicator calibration.

6.3

SPAN CALIBRATION (F17)

1. While in the Setup mode, scroll to "

F 17

", then scroll down once using the ZERO/OFF

key to enter span calibration menu.

2.  The  display  will  momentarily  show  "

C  1

"  for  the  span  calibration,  followed  by  a  value

with one flashing digit. Place the test weight on the weighing mechanism.

3.  Use the four directional keys (shown in Figure 6-1 below) to adjust the displayed value

to the actual test weight value. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the UNITS key.

Decrease  the  flashing  digit  by  pressing  the  ZERO/OFF  key.  Pressing  the  ON/PRINT

key or the TARE key will change the position of the flashing digit.
