CHAPTER 4 TESTING
4.1 TESTING
After servicing the balance, an operational test and various performance tests should be made to
ascertain whether or not the balance meets specifications. Turn the balance on and allow it warm up
for at least five minutes before performing these tests. Make sure the test area is free from drafts and
that the balance rests on a level and vibration free surface. The masses used for final calibration must
be adjusted to ASTM Class 4 tolerance or better.
4.1.1 Operational Test
1. Connect a functioning AC Adapter to the balance Power Jack located at
the rear of the balance.
2. Plug the AC Adapter into a suitable power source. If the AC Adapter supplied
with the balance is rated for a different voltage, use an appropriate adapter to match the
supply voltage.
