16.1 Calibration
The calibration of the balance is fixed in the configuration menu (see Chapter 7.7 “Calibration of the balan-
ce” and Chapter 9.5 “Calibration functions”).
Possible types of calibration, depending on the model of balance:
• External calibration by means of ICM (Intelligent Calibration Mode)
• External calibration with freely selectable weight
• Internal calibration
• Automatic calibration
16.1.1 External calibration by means of ICM
Depending on the type of balance, calibration weights in steps of 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 500 g can be used,
where the calibration weight must correspond to the precision of the balance.
For an external calibration by means of ICM, “SET CALIBRATION MODE EXTERNAL” must be selected in the
configuration menu (see Chapter 9.5 “Calibration functions”).
16.1.2 External calibration with freely selectable weight
For an external calibration with user-definable weight, “SET CALIBRATION MODE EXT. -DEF.” must be sel-
ected in the configuration menu (see Chapter 9.5 “Calibration functions”).
Then, the effective value of the calibration weight (DEF. n'nnn g) must be entered with up to tenfold preci-
sion compared with the balance.
Then proceed as follows:
NOTE
The calibration can be interrupted at any time by pressing «

• After the zero measurement the display flashes with the recommended
calibration weight
• Place the calibration weight on the pan

• The display flashes first rapidly than slowly

• Calibration is complete when the display stops flashing
NOTE
If calibration is carried out with the free weight, then only this weight may be used.
