CALIBRATION
This scale has been factory calibrated, and does not require calibration prior to use.
Calibration of your 3001KL-AM/3001KL-AMX scale can be performed using calibrated
kilogram (kg) or pound (lb) weight standards. The required calibration standard will be
the Unit of Measure (UOM) for which the scale is configured.
Because the scale is
shipped from the factory in “KG” mode, the requested UOM for
calibration will be the KG standard (e.g., 400kg). If the unit is to be calibrated with LB
weight standards, the scale must first be configured to the
“LB” UOM. Refer to the
Unit
of Measure Configuration
section on page 12 for configuration details.
Note:
Only weights certified and traceable to national standards are to be used for
calibration.
Warning: Always ensure that the scale is returned to the correct UOM after scale
calibration.
