Calibration is recommended after initial installation and each time the balance/scale is moved.
Features
Calibration/adjustment can be performed only when:
– there is no load on the balance/scale,
– the balance/scale is zeroed, and
– the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message
is displayed.
Example:
Calibrate/adjust span of the balance/scale (here: model VIC-5101)
Step
Key (or instruction)
Display
1. Switch on the balance/scale
(ON/OFF)
2. Zero the balance/scale
(ZERO)
3. Start calibration
(CAL)
The preset calibration weight is displayed without
the weight unit (in this example, 5000 g)
4. To select a different calibration weight value
(F) repeatedly
5. Confirm calibration weight value and
(ENTER)
start calibration/span adjustment
After the zero point is stored, the required
calibration weight flashes on the display.
6. Place the required calibration
weight on the balance/scale
The readout stops flashing if the weight is
applied within the defined time limit and tolerance.
If the weight value is accepted, the display stops
flashing and the stability symbol
appears
on the display.
7. Remove the calibration weight
8. Calibration has been completed
Calibration/Span Adjustment
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed.
Standard calibration weights for selected models: to remove,
see instructions on page 4.
Press (F) to select a different weight value.
To cancel the procedure: press and hold the (ENTER) key
(> 2 sec.).
