CALIBRATION 
·  The  GK  indicator  can  be  calibrated  using  kilogram  w eights  or  using 
pounds weights, depending on the weighing unit sele cted at the time of 
calibration. 
  ·   To  start  the  calibration,  either  get  into  the  calib ration  section  through 
the  Indicator  Settings  ( “FUnC 3”-  see  Section  13.3)  or  turn  the  indicator 
off and switch on again and then press  [Tare] during the self-test.  Enter 
code  number  0000  and  press  [Tare].  This  will  take  you  directly  to  the 
calibration section. 
 
·  The display will show  "UnLoAd"  
 
·  Remove  all  weight  from  the  platform  and  then  press  the [Tare]   key 
when  the  display  is  stable.  After  the  Zero  point  is   set,  the  display  will 
show  “Ld  xx” . Place the suggested calibration mass on the platf orm. It is 
best  to  use  a  weight  close  to  the  full  capacity  of  the  indicator.    If  the 
mass  is  different  from  the  displayed  value,  enter  t he  value  of  the  mass 
in whole numbers. The kg or the lb symbol will be o n to show the active 
unit. 
 
·  Press the  [Tare] key when the stable indicator is on.   
 
·  The  indicator  will  calibrate  to  the  mass.  When  comp lete,  it  will  display 
“PASS”  and  then  either  display  “S8    CAL”  (if  entered  the  calibration 
section  through  the  Indicator  Settings  as  per  secti on  13.3)  or  return  to 
normal weighing (if entered directly). Remove the c alibration mass. 
 
·  If an error message  “FAIL H” or “FAIL L”  is shown, re-check the calibration 
and repeat. If the error cannot be corrected contac t your supplier.

PARAMETER SETTINGS 
Pressing the [Func] key allows the user to access the parameters for cu stomising the 
indicator. The parameters are split into 4 groups-   
  
1. Check weighing parameters,  
2. RS-232 parameters  
3. Indicator parameters 
4. Percent and Animal Weighing Functions  
·  When  [Func]  is  pressed,  display  will  first  show   “FUnC  1” for  Check  weighing 
parameters.  
 
·  Enter  [2]  for  RS-232  parameters  or   [3]  for  Indicator  parameters  or  [4] for 
percent  weighing  and  animal  weighing,      or    press  t he [Func]   key  to  advance 
through  the  groups  “FUnC 1”, “FUnC 2”  , “FUnC 3”  and “FUnC 4” .  Press [Tare] to 
enter the desired group of parameters.  
 
·  Press  [Zero]  to  return  to  the  group  “FUnC  1”.  If  you  press  [Zero]  again,  the 
indicator will exit the User Parameter section and  return to normal weighing. 
  
1.13.   CHECK WEIGHING PARAMETERS 
 
·  Shortcut to enter this group is to press and hold t he  [Unit]  key for 4 seconds. 
The display will go directly to  “FUnC 1”.  
 
·  Press  [Tare]  to enter the group.  
 
·  Press   [Func]  to  scroll  through  the  parameters  and  press  [Tare] to  enter  a 
parameter setting.
