56 Magellan™ 9300i / 9400i Scanners
Zeroing the Scale
The zeroing operation may be performed by checkers and other store person-
nel. Pressing and releasing the Scale Zero Button should return the scale to
Normal Operation. If the zero point moves out of the zero range due to debris
accumulation or other causes, pressing the Scale Zero Button will not reset the
zero point. In this case the weigh platter must be cleaned, debris chutes cleared
of debris or the scale must be recalibrated.
With the scanner/scale powered-up and at operating temperature:
1. Remove everything from the weighing surface of the scanner/scale.
2. Press the Scale Zero Button. (See ).
3. The Zero
1
light will turn on and the display will show 0.00 lb (0.000 kg). If
it does not, see Chapter 5, Problem Isolation.
4. You have completed the scale zeroing function.
Alternatively, a reset (cycling power to the scanner) may also allow the scale to
re-zero.
Calibrating the Scale
The second adjustment, calibration, defines and sets a standard reference
weight range against which all product weights are compared. If your scale is
set for weighing in pounds, this range is 0 - 30 pounds, and, if your scale is set
for weighing in kilograms, the range is 0 - 15 kilograms. The scale must be
calibrated upon initial installation, whenever the scale cannot be zeroed, when
the scale diagnostics indicate a calibration error, when the weighing measure
(pounds or kilograms) is changed, or when the scale module has been replaced.
Normally, once the scale has been calibrated, the calibration must be verified
and/or approved by a local regulatory body. In many areas, the scale calibration
switch must be sealed before being placed into service. Consult the agency
responsible for regulating weighing devices in your area to ensure that you are
meeting all legal and regulatory requirements
Chapter 6, Calibration Proce-
dures, describes the calibration sequence and verification process.
Calibration can only be performed if the tamper seal that secures access to the
Calibration Switch is broken and the switch cover is removed. Breaking the seal
may legally render the scale inoperable until it has been recertified and a new
seal attached. Consult your local regulations before removing the calibration
seal if you are unsure of the legal requirements. Although the scale will physi
-
cally continue to weigh products, a broken seal may require recertification by a
proper authority as designated by your local laws.
