4. The scale display will confirm that you are in the Calibration Mode.
5. You can select which scale you are calibrating, Scale 1 or Scale 2, by pressing the SCALE key. (If a 2nd
scale is not installed and set in the specifications, pressing the SCALE key has no effect.) If you have
not yet set up the remote scale in the specifications, press the TARE key to exit the calibration process
and and set the specifications. Then power down the scale to commit the changes to the scale’s memory
before returning to calibration. (For information on setting specifications, see
“Configuration Settings”
on page 12.)
6. Make sure that there is no weight on the platform of the scale you are calibrating and press the * PRINT
key. The scale will flash briefly as it searches for the zero point and then will display it.
7. Place a reference weight on the platform. It is preferable to calibrate the scale using a weight equal to the
full capacity of the scale (i.e. a 5 lb weight for 5 lb capacity scale, etc.) If the reference weight is not
equal to the full capacity of the scale, it must at least be greater than 10% of the full scale capacity.
If the reference weight is equal to the full capacity of the scale, press the * PRINT key. If the reference
weight is less than the full capacity of the scale, enter the value of the weight placed on the platter using
the numeric keys before pressing the * PRINT key. The weight you enter will appear in the Weight
display.
8. The display will flash briefly again as the span settings for calibration of the scale are being temporarily
saved. Then the display will return to the weighing mode with the calibrated weight showing in the
Weight window..
9. To exit the Maintenance Mode and save your calibration, power down your DC-788 scale. To exit the
Maintenance Mode and return to the Weighing Mode without saving your calibration, press the TARE
key.
