Calibration without Weights

Theoretical calibration of weighing systems without the use of sample masses! Useful in high-capacity weighing systems such as silos and hoppers.

A/D converter calibration:
Adjust the A/D converter and enter the mV/V value of the fully loaded cell signal indicated on the calibration certificate on the weight indicator. This load cell simulator is manufactured with high-precision electronic components.
