APPENDIX B.   SERVICE MENU 

This section describes the Service Menu and sub-menus, which allow authorized service personnel to 
perform factory Linearity and Span calibrations (no pre-set limits). 

B.1  ENTERING THE SERVICE MENU 

Turn the scale off. 

 

Enter the Service Menu by pressing and holding 

Zero/On

 and 

Tare

 together until 

rAmMP

 appears. This 

will take approximately 8 seconds. 

 

ramMp 

Press 

Yes

 to select 

Ramp

.   

 

 

 

B.2  RAMP 

The ramp display shows the percentage of use of the A to D circuit, that is, of the temperature-
compensated duty cycle.  The actual value is not as important as how it changes.  It should increase 
as the weight on the scale is increased.  The ramp display should remain constant without 
fluctuations. 

If you press 

Yes

 to select 

Ramp

, a number appears.  It 

should be constant.  Add masses from minimum to 
maximum capacity.  The reading will increase, but 
should not fluctuate.  The example at right is with no 
weight on the Pan.  It will vary with other scales.

To exit the ramp function, press 

Yes

.  

The scale advances to the 

Linear

 calibration menu.  

Press 

Yes

 to perform Linear Calibration. 

 

LIN 

 

 

B.3  LINEAR CALIBRATION 

Linear calibration automatically follows Ramp.  To start from the Service Menu, press and hold 

Zero/On

 and 

Tare

 together.  As the scale powers up, 

RAMP

 appears.  Press 

No

 to bypass Ramp. 

Service Linearity does not have limit ranges on the weights used as does the standard user linearity 
procedure.  
 

Note: 

Be careful not to touch the scale or the table while calibration is in progress, as it will cause 
the process to fail. 

 

When 

LIN

 appears, press 

Yes
