SCALE CALIBRATION (MODELS WITH A SCALE ONLY) 4 - 7
Step 5 - Calibration Success or Failure
Calibration Success
The calibration process is successful if the Scale Display blinks between CAL P and CAL S, and the
7-segment display scrolls between
CAL P and CAL S.
There are two ways to finalize the calibration process:
1. After the Scale Display starts blinking between CAL P and CAL S, remove the weights from the scale.
2. Touch the Scale Zero button for the scale to reset. The MP6000 scanner/scale emits three short beeps to
indicate that the calibration was successful and all parameters are saved.
or
Scan the Sc
ale Reset bar code (or issue an equivalent RSM command to the MP6000 scanner/scale). All
programming bar codes are available in the MP6000 Bar Code Programmers Guide, p/n 72E- 172633-xx.
3. The scale is ready to measure weight.
Calibration Failure
It is possible to encounter a failure condition in which the calibration process is interrupted. In this case, use the
error message indicators to fix the problem and re-start the calibration process.
If calibration failed, the Sca
le Display blinks CAL F, and the error code u## scrolls on the 7-segment display
(see Table A-2 on page A-6 for error descriptions).
Possible Reasons for a Fail
•
The scale returns to its prior state if Step 3 - Calibration at NO LOAD executes and the Scale Display
blinks HOLD for
the entire 90 second time period, and then times out. This condition does not display a
calibration failure because the process was unable to find a zero weight threshold. This may occur if the
platter was not re-installed or seated correctly, or if the weight on the scale is outside a +/- 2% maximum
capacity range (+/- 0.6 lb or +/- 0.3 kg). It can also be a mechanical issue if the scale was not installed
correctly.
•
The scale returns to its prior state if Step 4 - Calibration at LOAD executes but the scale was unable to
detect a load of 25 lb (or 11 kg, depending on the units of measure programmed). This may occur if the
co
rrect weights were not placed on the platter before pressing the Scale Zero button. It can also be a
mechanical issue if the scale was not installed correctly.
In either case the scale can not accept the
calibration, and returns to its prior state. There is no impact on the
sealed calibration counter or the scale legal parameter counter. However, if calibration fails, the scale is
non-operational until the problem is fixed and the scale is successfully calibrated. In this case, re-enter the
Calibration Mode (Step 1 - Electronic Entry into Calibration Mode on page 4-3). The scale does not have to be
reset and can be left on before re-entering Calibration Mode.
NOTE P = pass; S = Save and Reset the Scale.
NOTE Scale Reset can be scanned at anytime in the procedure to exit the calibration process with no
impact (as long as a Legal Parameter was not changed during calibration).
