options. Procedures specific to

.
These procedures are not applicable f
or adaptive scale models. Consult
your adaptive scale documentation or the adaptive scale manufacturer for
more information.
A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are:
• at initial installation of the scanner/scale
• if the scale cannot be rezeroed
• when changing the weight measure from pounds to kilogra
ms or vice-versa
• if diagnostics indicate a calibration error
• when removing/replacing any scale assembly or the Main Board
• when required by local regulations
Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/scale will meet
Weigh
ts and Measurement requirements.
CAUTION
DO NOT apply a calibration seal to include the EAS antenna (if one is present).
Reference
Figure 52.
If the antenna must be removed for other reasons, this
would unnecessarily cause the scale to require recalibration.
Certification of the scanner/scale’s weighing apparatus is subject to Fed-
eral, State and Local Weights and Measures statutes and is restricted to
authorized go
vernment agencies and/or duly registered agents thereof.
Anytime a scale is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a lead and
wire or paper seal before being placed into service.
It is your responsibility to check with the
appropriate authorities in your
area to ensure compliance with pertinent regulations before removing
any official seals or placing a newly calibrated scanner/scale into service.
