6 Calibration
Electronic balances take mass measurements making use of gravity (g). Difference of
latitude in geographic areas and altitude will vary gravity acceleration value (g).
Therefore, for accurate measurements, the balance must be adjusted to the local
environment. This adjustment is accomplished by calibration function.
6.1 External calibration balances
Calibration is accomplished by pressing CAL button.
1. Press CAL button when pan is empty, dashes are displayed on the display.
2. When calibration weight value starts to flash, load the weight on the pan.
3. The display will stop flashing, indicating calibration weight value.
Once the calibration is effected will be shown the value of the calibrated weight and
the current unit of measure.
4. Unload calibration weight from the pan.
The balance is ready for weighing operations.
NOTE: if there is interference during calibration process, an error message will be displayed.
