CALIBRATION
USING ANY WEIGHT CALIBRATION
®
SYSTEM
Duringmanufacturethescaleisalreadyaccuratelycalibrated.Howeverwhenthescaleis
first set up for use it may be desired to calibrate it, or after time and use when mechanical
deviationscanoccurmakingthescalelessaccurate.Ifthescalehasbeenmovedtoa
differentaltitudeorgravitationthescalecanloseaccuracyastheweightofamassinone
location could be different to that in another location. It is also recommended to calibrate
in these circumstances.
What is the The Any Weight Calibration
®
System?
Normallywhenauserwishestocalibratetheirscale,themanufacturereitherrequeststhe
unitbesenttoitsheadofce,serviceagentoraskthatyoupurchasespecialaccurate
andexpensiveweights.
TheAnyWeightCalibration
®
System allows you to calibrate without needing to use any
specialweights.Insteadyoucanuseanyobjectsthatyouarecondentoftheirweightfor
easyandquickcalibration.Thiscouldbe,forexample,itemsweighedatthedeliormeat

HOW TO CALIBRATE
Itisrecommended,butnotessential,touseatotalweightthatisatleast50%ofthetotal
capacity.So,forexample,ifyourscalehasacapacityof16kg,thentheidealweightto
usewouldbe8-13kg.Youcouldcombinetheknownweightofseveralitems.Never
exceedthetotalcapacityofthescale.Lowercalibrationweightsareok(i.e.5Kg)ifthe
scaleisnormallyonlyusedwithitemsthatweighlessthan50%scalecapacity.
