6 Calibration
Electronic balances take mass measurements making use of gravity (g). Different
latitude and 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 the calibration function.

6.1.1 External calibration
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.
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.
3. 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.
Moreover, it is
possible to
calibrate the
balance with a
calibration weight
higher than the
one
set by default:
