Magellan™ 9800i Scanner
Description of Calibration Sequence
The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for weighing. This
process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set (31.5-pounds) for calibration in
pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric calibration. Once calibration has been successfully
completed, the scanner/scale uses the certified weight as a reference for subsequent
weighing activities.
These verification procedures follow the U.S. National Insti
tute of Standards and Technology 44
Handbook guidelines for bench/counter scale installations.
If any of these tests fail to meet the required weight indications, you must calibrate the
scan
ner/scale. Refer to the calibration procedures in this section for the proper
procedures.
You may be required by state and/or local regulations to have procedures other than these performed by
a certified technician or verification official.
Access to the calibration switch should be restricted with a paper or a wire and lead seal after
the calibration has been performed if required by your local regulatory agency.
NOTE
The Calibration Sequence must be performed without removing the scanner/
scale from its installed position.
The following tools and supplies will be required to perform the calibration process:
• 31.5 pound Field Standard Weight Set
1
.
(English calibration only).
• 18.5 kilogram Field Standard Weight Set
2
.
(Metric calibration only).
• Lead wire or paper seal (as required by law).
Motion Test
This test verifies that the scale will not ‘zero’ when the weighing surface of the scanner/scale
is in motion.
1. Verify that the Zero lamp is On and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds, 0.000
p
ounds or 0.000 kilograms.
2. Press lightly on the weigh platter of the scanne
r/scale with one hand and at the same
time press and release the Zero switch on the operator’s panel. The Zero lamp should
turn Off and the Remote Display should not display 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or
0.000 kilograms.
3. Remove your hand from the weighing platform
and verify that the Zero lamp is On
and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
1. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a combination of weight from this set.
e.g. 20 lbs may be made up of one 10.00 lb. weight and two 5.00 lb. weights.
2. NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a combination of weights from this set.
e.g. 10 kgs. may be made up of one 5.00 kg. and five 1.00 kg. weights.
