1.944 Soft key l Enter the sensitivity of the load cell (in this example, 1.9440 mV/V). Confirm the value entered. The highlight bar is automatically positioned on the field for “Sensitivity 2”. – If the weighing platform consists of multiple load cells and the mean value was not entered under “Sensitivity 1”: Enter the sensitivity of the other load cells under “Sensitivity 2” through “Sensitivity 4”. – Input fields with no sensitivity values must contain “0.0000000”.
Entering Geographical Latitude, Elevation and Gravitational Acceleration Purpose To perform external calibration/ adjustment on the weighing instrument at a location other than the place of installation. The sensitivity of a weighing instrument is directly affected by gravitational acceleration, which in turn is dependent on geographical latitude and elevation. Thus when a weighing instrument is moved from its place of installation and used in another location, its sensitivity is altered.
When the display of geographical data is active, the calibration procedure is as follows: When the calibration procedure is started (CAL), the display shows Altitud for 2 seconds (if latitude and elevation are used), followed by the configured value (indicating meters above sea level). Press ) to confirm the data, or ( to cancel the adjustment routine. Next, the display shows Latitud for 2 seconds, followed by the value set for the geographical latitude (in degrees).
The illustration on the left shows an example in which the currently valid parameters for the weighing platform have been entered under “Latitude” and “Altitude.” After this data was saved and the scale returned to weighing mode, this pair of values is displayed again the next time the input menu is opened. The input field for gravitational acceleration is empty (display shows “0.000000”).
