Calibration
It is recommended that the scale be “exercised” by loading it to near capacity 2 or 3 times before calibration to be
certain that everything is seated. To calibrate your BenchMark:
1. With no load on scale, place the indicator in its calibration mode and perform a zero calibration.
2. Place test weights on platform equal to 70%–100% of scale’s capacity. If several weights are used, they
distribute them evenly around the platform.
3. Perform a span calibration.
4. Remove the test weights and check the zero reading. If necessary, repeat the calibration process.
See the indicator manual for the specific indicator calibration procedure.
