Tare (tare)
The tare function zero’s out the display. In the case of scale weight, tare
is used to eliminate container weight and provide net weight readings.
There are two tare functions; Capture Tare and Reset Tare.
When the capture tare function is used, the display reading is offset by
the displayed amount to make the displayed value zero. This modified
display value is the net value. The originally displayed value without the
tare offset is the gross value. Both may be chosen as a display option.
Reset tare removes the display offset of the net value, and the gross and
net values become the same until a new capture tare is entered.
This function may only be used when Total (
total) is set to No (no).
Internal Source Calibration (ICAL)
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read in milliamps and
volts, depending on the input selection. The calibration equipment is
certified to NIST standards.
The use of calibrated signal sources is necessary to calibrate the
internal source of the meter. The meter’s internal source is what allows
the user to scale the meter without applying a signal.
Check calibration of the meter at least every 12 months. Each input must
be recalibrated separately.
Notes:
1. If meter is in operation and it is intended to
accept only one input type (e.g. 4-20 mA),
recalibration of other input is not necessary.
2. Allow the meter to warm up for at least
15 minutes before performing the internal
source calibration procedure.
