    *The vernier is included as a diagnostic and setup tool, for example to simulate
    reaching setpoints in a batching application dry run. It is not designed to have
    the high accuracy as is specified for the rotary selection knob.
    Sample Calculation
    Pre-Calibration of Weight Indicator using Simulator
    Load Cell Specifications: Load Cell Capacity: 1000lbs
    Rated Output: 3mV/V
    Actual Output: 3.0015mV/V

    1) Calculate Units Per mV

    Load Cell Capacity 1000lbs


    ————————— = Units Per mV —————— = 333.1667lbs
    Actual Output 3.0015mV/V

    2) Calculate Units Per Step of Rotary Selection

    Units Per mV X Rotary Selection 333.1667 X 0.5 = 166.58335

    Results: Rotary Selection Reading on Weight Indicator


    0.0 000.00000
    0.5 166.58335
    1.0 333.16670
    1.5 499.75005
    2.0 666.33340
    2.5 832.91675
    3.0 999.50010

    3) Connect Excitation and Signal Terminals to Weight Indicator


    Use Sense leads from indicator when possible
    Connect +Sense to +EXC Terminal Post
    Connect -Sense to -EXC Terminal Post

    4) Power Up Weight Indicator and allow 5 to 10 minutes warm up time.

    5) Refer to Weight Indicator’s Service Manual and follow calibration instructions using
    the results from Steps 1 and 2
