SETUP AND CALIBRATION, CONT.
Decimal Point Location
With the display showing
dPP=
press the ASTERISK key to show the current setting. Press
the UNITS key until the number corresponding to the desired decimal point position is
displayed. Press the PRINT key to store this setting and proceed to the next step.
0 = XXXXX 1 = XXXX.X 2 = XXX.XX 3 =X X.XXX
Scale Capacity
With the display showing
CAP=
press the ASTERISK key to show the current setting. Press
the UNITS key to enter the proper digit at the blinking location. Press the ASTERISK key to
step to the left and the next digit location. Repeat the process until all digits of the capacity
have been entered. Should you make a mistake and press the ASTERISK key with an
incorrect digit entered, it will be necessary to press the ASTERISK key until the blinking
character returns to the proper location, and then use the UNITS key to enter the correct digit.
After all digits have been correctly entered, press the PRINT key to store the capacity and
advance to the next step.
Calibration
With the display showing
CAL=
press the ASTERISK key. The display will change to show the
current setting 0 (0=NO). If the scale has been previously calibrated and you wish to skip
calibration and proceed to
trA=
, the Zero Tracking Range, simply press the PRINT key and
the internal calibration factor will be retained.
To begin calibration, press UNITS to select 1 (1=YES), then press the PRINT key. After
pressing the PRINT key the display will change to
LOAd=
.
Load Calibration Weight
The display will now indicate
LOAd=
which is a prompt for the entry of the calibration weight
value and placement of this amount of test weights on the scale platform.
1. Make certain the scale platform is empty and free of debris, then place the desired
amount of calibrated test weights on the scale platform. It is recommended that a
minimum of 50% of the scale's capacity be used but 70% to 100% is preferred.
2. Press the PRINT key.
3. Determine the exact amount of test weights to be placed on the scale platform and
enter this value into the 204 by using the UNITS and ASTERISK keys in the same
manner used to enter the scale's capacity. Verify that the numbers entered are the
same as the total weight of test weights, and the least significant digit agrees with the
scale interval.
4. Press the PRINT key.
After a moment the display will indicate the message
unLOAd
which is a request that the test
weights be removed from the scale platform. Remove the weights then press the PRINT key.
The calculated calibration factor is now stored in the 204's nonvolatile memory.
Zero Tracking Range
The display will now indicate
trA=
. Press the ASTERISK key to show the value assigned to
the Automatic Zero Tracking Range. This is the value in scale divisions that will be
automatically zeroed off. Values of 1 through 18 (1 to 9 divisions by 0.5 divisions) are
available for the zero tracking range. Entry of two zeros (00) will disable the zero tracking
feature. Use the UNITS key to step through these available values. Once the proper value is
shown press the PRINT key to store the value.
