Step 3 : Field calibration of load cell system for back-balance (deadweight)
Make sure that steps 1 & 2 on the previous page have been completed before proceeding with step 3.
The following procedure removes the deadweight from the weighing system (which is normally the bin / hopper / scale weight), and
returns the display reading to show zero with the bin empty.
Make sure that the bin / hopper is empty. Use the programming chart to go to “Inp”, followed by “Tare”. Press enter. The display will
flash “Tare” indicating that the instrument is measuring and averaging the bin weight. Allow for a few seconds of averaging, then press
the enter (star) button to stop the process. The instrument will exit programming mode and the display should read zero.
The following procedure allows the weighing system to be accurately calibrated using test weights.
Place the test weights on the bin / hopper / scale. The instrument should read the weight of the test weights. If the reading is not of
sufficient accuracy, then use the programming chart to go to "Inp", followed by "LOAD" and press enter. The instrument now prompts
you to enter the weight of the test weights. Then press enter. The display will flash “LOAD” for a few seconds, indicating that the
instrument is measuring and averaging the tests weights in the bin / hopper / scale. The instrument automatically exits programming
mode after a few seconds.
Once steps 1 - 4 above have been completed, the instrument automatically alters the pre-calibration parameters “Zero” and “LC.FS”
in the “CAL” sub-menu (entered in step 2 above). These altered parameters may not resemble the original values entered by the user.
This is normal as these parameters fully characterise the weighing system.
DO NOT change these parameters. It is suggested that these parameters be noted for future use, especially if the instrument is
replaced. These parameters can be re-entered into the new instrument with the result that reasonable accuracies can still be obtained
without re-doing a field calibration. This is especially useful when minimum downtime is critical, and to avoid wastage if failure occurs
when the bin / hopper still contains materials. It is still recommended that complete field calibration is done when the situation permits.

IGNORE THIS PAGE unless communications option has been ordered. When the RS232 (option 3013) or RS485 (option 3002) is
ordered, two protocols are made available, namely ASCIIbus & DIGIbus protocols. DIGIbus is the default protocol which is used for
the calibration and configuration of the instruments, and whenever the instrument is connected to master-slave systems. DIGIbus
protocol is therefore used in complex bus systems, and is NOT described here. Please contact factory for the DIGIbus protocol.
ASCIIbus, which is described here, is much easier to use as it can easily interface to third party systems with very little engineering
work required. It is a purely ASCII based (7 bit) protocol. The protocol is essentially designed for one way communications
(instrument to PC). Under the "Conn" (connection) programming menu, ASCIIbus is enabled by selecting "ASCI" to "ON". If "OFF" is
selected, the DIGIbus protocol will be active. Although designed for one way communications only, the ASCIIbus protocol contains an
address. The address range is "00" to "99".
Using address "00" : If this address is selected, the instrument will only transmit data on demand by either momentarily pressing the
'menu' key, or by transmitting a byte (any ASCII character) to the DPM. This mode is useful for interfacing to printers. In addition, field
' A A ' will contain the ASCII character "blank/space". Field ' P ' will also contain the ASCII character "blank/space".
Using address "01" to "99". If any of these addresses are used, the meter continuously transmits information at approximately 5 times
a second.
The output will follow the display reading. This

The lineariser option is used for non-linear input signals. A 16 point straight line approximation lineariser is provided. The user can enter any number of
points from 2 (Linear input signals) to 16. The greater the number of points, the greater the accuracy of the linearisation. Every actual display point has a
corresponding linearised display point.

- The instrument can be checked by applying the original test signals and verifying the
display.
NOTE:
- If the input signal is beyond the limits of the last actual point entered then the unit will calculate the slope between the last 2 actual values and
use this to calculate the required linearised display.

The display can be toggled to show the peak / valley value or normal value by toggling the “up” arrow key (press for about 3 seconds
each time). For rapid response to step changes on the input, ensure that the filter in the programming menu is set to 0.0. To reset the
peak / valley hold value, press the “side” arrow key for 3 seconds, or use an external potential free contact (see page 7 for connection
details). If analog output option is fitted, the output will hold as well.
During normal operations, pressing the “star key” for 3 seconds will zero the display. The display can also be zeroed via an external
potential free contact (see page 7 for connection details). The display can be zeroed at any time over and over again.
If the analog output option is fitted, the output will follow the display.

Option 3022 Vertical Bar Graph Display Option (Model 4004 only)
This option is only available on Model 4004. The vertical bar-graph display option provides a graphic linear representation of the
process variable being measured. The bar graph’s zero and full scale setting is programmed by the ‘Outp’ sub-menu of the
programming menu, which also controls the analog output option. The ‘Out.O’ controls the zero point of the graph, and the ‘Ou.Fs’
controls the full scale value of the graph. See the programming menu page 10 for more information.
This option is only available for the model 5004. This option allows the user to time and date stamp the
display value either by momentarily pressing the ‘menu’ key, or by transmitting a byte (any ASCII character) to the unit.
This option is very useful to interface to serial printers.
