10.2.4 Calibration Check Using External Weights

Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU

The shift from the last calibration is displayed using your external standard calibration weight(s), how-

ever, the balance is not adjusted.

1 Verify that the balance is in mass display and

that the pan is empty.

2 Press the [CAL] key once to display “E-tESt”.

(If “E-tESt” is not displayed, select menu item .)

3 Press the [O/T] key.

The value of the correct calibration weight to be

loaded is displayed and blinks.

4 Load the indicated calibration weight and press

the [O/T] key.

The zero display blinks.

5 Unload the weight from the pan and press the

[O/T] key.

The display changes to the “d xxx” display.

(xxx indicates a numeric value)

6 To perform span calibration, change the “d”

value to zero by pressing the [CAL] key.

Otherwise, press the [O/T] key to avoid changing the “d” value to zero. (Pressing the [POWER] key

interrupts calibration and does not change this value to zero.)

“CALEnd” is displayed, indicating the completion of the calibration check.

(Example)

Changing the Calibration Weight to be Used

Pressing the [CAL] key allows changes to the weight value. Modify the value

using the [UNIT] key and [PRINT] key, then press the [O/T] key. Refer to

7.4 for how to make numerical input. To interrupt modification, press the

[POWER] key. Calibration range with external weights is designated to

each model. Refer to “3. Specifications” for calibration range. Attempt of

inputting an invalid calibration weight value causes an error message.

Note

Changing the “d” value to zero is equivalent to performing span calibration.

Refer to 10.2.2. for interpreting the results of a Calibration Check.
