Start Pushbutton Calibration
Hold pushbutton pressed while powering up DLA1
Unit enters ‘CALIBRATE’ mode, switching in a calibration resistor and
outputting the current calibration figure. To adjust this figure, turn the
adjustment screw until the output changes to the desired value and then
press the pushbutton to move onto the next calibration function. To keep
the current calibration figure but reset and store the zero value, press the
pushbutton without turning the adjustment screw. It is very important to
have no load on the load cell at this point!
Set Trip Point
The DLA1 enters ‘TRIP SET’ mode and switches out the calibration
resistor. If the trip point is set between 0.1 and 5 the unit outputs the
currently set trip point figure from the 0-5 Volt output. If the trip point is
switched off, the unit will output 0V. If the trip point has been set to over
5, the unit will output 5V. To adjust this figure, turn the adjustment screw
until the output changes to the desired value and then press the
pushbutton to move onto the next calibration function. To keep the
current trip figure, press the pushbutton without turning the adjustment
screw.
Calibrate Voltage
The DLA1 enters ‘BATT CAL’ mode. The 0-5V output is not used in this
calibration mode. You need to connect the DLA1 to a Dataline display or
a PC serial port to the NMEA 0/P to adjust the battery voltage.
To adjust the battery voltage, turn the adjustment screw until the output
changes to the desired value and press the pushbutton to move onto the
next calibration function. To keep the current voltage calibration, press
the pushbutton without turning the adjustment screw.
Mode Select
The DLA1 enters ‘MODE SELECT’ to enable the setting of the NMEA
output for Normal Dataline displays or TackTick systems in either Tonne
Force (TF) or Kilo Pound Force (KLBS). To change mode turn
adjustment screw until output changes to desired type and press
