3.7.1 Calibration
sub-menu
Note
: Calibration is not available when the scale has been set to Legal for Trade operation (LFT set to ON
in the Setup sub-menu, refer to Section 3.7.2).
Calibration Types – Calibration can be adjusted in two ways, Span and Linearity. Span calibration uses
two calibration points to adjust the sensitivity of the scale. Linearity calibration uses three calibration
points to correct for non-linear weighing results.
Calibration Weights – Before beginning calibration, make sure that the required calibration weights are
available. The model-specific calibration points are listed in the table below.
