2. The DT220 prompts “Press ENTER to read deadload”. Remove all weight from the
scale. Press the Enter key. The DT220 reads the scale’s deadload weight.
Calibrate 3: Deadload Only
Use this function to re-calibrate the deadload weight without affecting the span
calibration. The display prompts “Press ENTER to read deadload”. Press the Enter key
to read a new deadload.
Calibrate 4: Multi-point calibration
Use this function to calibrate the scale using up to 5 calibration points to 'linearize' the
load cell. Best results are obtained when the DT220 and load cells have reached thermal
equilibrium (power applied for approximately 30 to 120 minutes depending on load cell
size).
1. The DT220 prompts “Press ENTER to read deadload”. Remove all weight from the
scale. Press the Enter key to obtain the deadload weight. Press the Cont. key to
continue without reading a new deadload weight.
2. The DT220 prompts “Calibration point 1” and “Enter calibration weight:”. Place the
first calibration weight on the scale. Enter the calibration weight using the numeric
keypad. Press the Enter key. The DT220 reads the calibration weight.
3. The DT220 prompts “Calibration point 2” and “Enter calibration weight:” Place the
second calibration weight on the scale. Enter the calibration weight using the numeric
keypad. Press the Enter key.
4. Repeat step 3 for up to 5 calibration points. Press the Clear Entry key to complete
calibration if less than 5 calibration points are used.
• Use the Cont. key (↓) to continue to the next calibration point if the current point has
already been calibrated.
Calibrate 5: Adjust Gain Calibration
Use this function to make small adjustments to the span calibration factor. Zero the scale
and then place a known weight on the scale.
1. The DT220 displays the adjustment
Count, the weight on the scale and an indication
of “center of digit”. The center of digit displays -25, -0, +0, or +25. The center of
digit occurs when the display toggles between -0 and +0.
2. Use the Cont.(↓↓↓↓) and Review(↑↑↑↑) keys to lower or raise the calibration factor. The
calibration factor is increased or decreased by the Count amount. The Count can be
changed by using the numeric keypad:
1 = 1 4 = 1,000
2 = 10 5 = 10,000
3 = 100
3. Press the Enter key or Clear Entry key to exit the Adjust Gain Calibration function.
