Calibration/Adjustment Routines in Service Mode (General Information)
There are three ways to adjust the span:
– Using external weights
– By entering the specifications of the load cell(s) (sensitivity in mV/V)
– By entering geographical data (latitude and altitude of the place of use) or by
entering the acceleration of gravity (at the place of use)
Span adjustment with external weights always takes precedence.
What does this mean when performing service work?
If a weighing system is used in a location other than that for which it was
originally intended (i.e., the geographical data at the new place of use does not
match the entered at Sartorius AG in Goettingen, Germany), the scale span can be
adjusted by using external weights or by entering the specifications of the load
cell(s). In this case, the geographical data entered for the original place of use is
no longer valid. The same applies for span adjustment performed after any repair
work on the weighing system.
Once you store the geographical data or acceleration of gravity at the place of use
and subsequently perform span adjustment using weights, the scale is correctly
programmed and adjusted.
You can now enter the geographical data of the new place of use to adapt the
scale for use at that location.
