TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION CALIBRATION
If your balance is frequently moved from one location to another or if the
room temperature varies more than a few degrees during the day, the
balance may display a slight temperature induced offset. Your Setra balance
is capable of compensating for this offset so that varying temperatures will
not affect its performance.
If your balance is used in different locations, leave it where the temperature
is either higher or lower than the operating environment for at least four
hours. Otherwise, perform this calibration first thing in the morning or last
thing in the evening so the balance experiences the largest possible tem-
perature fluctuation. Then, place the balance in its operating environment
and run this calibration procedure. Over the next three hours it will monitor
any weight fluctuations that occur and record these temperature induced
variations into memory. During this calibration period the balance cannot
be used and must not be disturbed. Once this calibration procedure is
completed, the balance will be able to internally compensate for the offset.
To perform the temperature compensation calibration, follow the steps
below.
STEP 1.
Leave the balance for at least four hours in the initial environment as ex-
plained above. The balance does not have to be powered on.
STEP 2.
Move the balance to its operating environment. Unplug the balance (if
powered on) for 10 seconds and then power on. The balance will count
down and should display 0.00.
Note:
The 0.00 reading may not be very stable if the balance is warming up
or cooling down.
STEP 3.
