How to Modify the Zero
(Original Document)
Introduction
The configuration screen offers the following information for zero setting.
Designation
Description
Extent of the Recalibration Range
Any deviation from zero can be corrected as long as it does not exceed this range.
It is defined as a % of the maximum range. It may take the values:
  • +/-2 % PM (+/- 2 % of the maximum range)
  • +/-5 % PM (+/-5 % of the maximum range)
This optional function is used to compensate for slow deviations from zero in the extent of range (+/-2 % of the maximum range).
You are not advised to choose this option in the automatic installations.
NOTE: The discrimination between a slow deviation and a true weight is based on the following rule: any variation in weight lower than the semi-scale division whose repetition frequency is sufficiently weak to preserve the stability of the measurement is considered to be a deviation. The correction engendered by the function is limited to +/-2 % of the maximum range of the flip-flop. When this limit is exceeded, there is no automatic correction.
Procedure
The following table shows the procedure for defining zero.
Step
Action

Access the weighing module configuration screen.
2
Select the extent of range by using the drop-down menu.
3
If necessary, check the Zero tracking box to confirm this function.
4
Confirm the modification with the command Edit → Validate.
