3. Calibration
Performing additional calibration and adjustment to the system
Note
It is recommended that calibration be performed by authorized and skilled
personnel only! It should be performed using an accurate known weight or in a
laboratory.
Unless otherwise required by local laws, it is recommended that the system be
calibrated annually. The weight used in the calibration must not exceed the system's
capacity.
3.1 Best Practice for Calibration
It is recommended that calibration and adjustment are performed using a known weight that
is 80% of the system's maximum capacity. This will give the best and most accurate results.
A known weight between 80% – 100% of capacity may be used but never a weight greater
than the capacity.
It is recommended that the system be turned on for at least 10 minutes prior to calibration.
If the system includes a dampened display/averaging, the dampening should be shut
off before calibrating (see Dampened Readings section). The system is protected by
two different codes to prevent calibration by unauthorized personnel.
