Balances 17
3.2 MB Series
NOTE: MB Series scales cannot be calibrated. They are stamped or sealed by local weights/measurement offices. When
calibration is necessary for the MB, contact your local dealer.
Follow the steps in the table below to set up and calibrate the MB-E Series scale.
NOTES:
• In Step 2, if the F key is pressed prior to the ZERO key, the scale will return to weighing mode.
• Standard calibration weight is
1/2 capacity. However, when possible, calibrate using a full capacity
weight. See the table below for the unit system capacities.
• If
[o-Err] appears on the display, the weight exceeds the scale capacity.
• If
[1-Err] appears on the display, the calibration weight is less than 50% of the standard.
• If
[2-Err] appears on the display, the display tolerance (0.4%) is exceeded, or the scale may be defective.
Contact your Ishida representative.
Step Action
1Press and hold the F key until [Func] –> [CAL] appear in sequence, then release the key.
2Press the ZERO key. While holding it down, press the F key, then release both keys.
The display blinks [on 0] to indicate zero adjustment is being performed. Verify that no load is on the weigh
platter.
3 After the MB-E performs zero adjustment, [on FS] automatically appears. Gently place the designated
calibration weight on the center weigh pan (see table below for designated calibration weights).
4 When calibration is complete, the scale automatically returns to the weighing mode.
