7. To calibrate using a known weight type the following commands in sequence. Commands
are not case sensitive. For example, to calibrate a 250 lb load cell using a known load of 100
lb, remove all load from load cell and type:
 UNITS LB
 LC 250
 CAL 2
 2PCAL 100
<Apply Point 1 Load of 0 LB Press C when ready or Q to quit> C
<Apply Point 2 Load of 100 LB Press C when ready or Q to quit> Apply 100 lb, then type C
 TARE
 WC (this will continuously output the load in lb. Change the load and the output
should change. Type <Enter> to stop the continous output.).
8. To calibrate a load cell in kg using mVolt/V type the following commands in sequence in
Hyperterminal. Commands are not case sensitive. For example, to calibrate a 250 kg load
cell with a 3.02 mVolt/V rating:
 UNITS KG
 LC 250
 CAL m
 MVOLT 3.02 (This number will be available from the load cell
calibration/specification certificate.)
 TARE (this zeros out the load)
 WC (this will continuously output the load in kg. Change the load and ensure that
the output changes).
9. To calibrate a load cell in kg using a known weight type the following commands in
sequence. Commands are not case sensitive. For example, to calibrate a 250 kg load cell
using a known load of 100 kg, remove all load from load cell and type:
 UNITS KG
 LC 250
 CAL 2
 2PCAL 100
<Apply Point 1 Load of 0 KG Press C when ready or Q to quit> C
<Apply Point 2 Load of 100 KG Press C when ready or Q to quit> Apply 100 kg, then type C
 TARE
10. WC (this will continuously output the load in kg. Change the load and the output should
change. Type <Enter> to stop the continuous output.).
