5 MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION
You don’t need special maintenance for the BIA Class 2. Prevent beats, solar radiation,
humidity and dirt. Most parts of the instrument are made of plastics (POM). Therefore it is
important to avoid contact to acids, lyes and thinner. In case of soiling clean it carefully with a
moist cloth and some soap. Repeating load exposure of greater 500 N can demolish the
instrument. The force indication has to be tested regularly. To do this the BIA Class 2 must
have room temperature (20 - 25 degrees centigrade). Place it with the fixed part of the
housing on a horizontal plane and put the test weight on it.
weight 10 kg indication 100 +/- 5N
(10 kg are equivalent to 98 N; due to the measure position 225 gr have to be added, caused
by case, spring etc. The resulting weight is equivalent to 100 N)
Important : The instrument should not be disassembled, because the basic adjustment is
lost. In case of a defect please send the instrument with a short description of the failure to
the manufacturer.
To ensure the correct function of the instrument, you are advised to send it regularly to the
manufacturer for maintenance and calibration. The calibration period depends on the extend
of usage. In any case the period should be less or equal 2 years.
