Operation
Calibration and Adjustment
Purpose
Perform calibration to determine the
difference between the weight value
displayed and the actual weight on
the platform� Calibration does not
entail making any changes within the
weighing equipment�
During adjustment, the difference
between the measured value displayed
and the true weight of a sample is
corrected, or is reduced to an allowable
level within maximum permissible error
limits�
Configuration for Use in Legal
Metrology
Configuration of the weighing
instrument for use in legal metrology
isset by a switch� The switch is located
on the back of the weighing platform
and covered by a protective cap�
Using a Verified Scale in Legal
Metrology in the EU:
The Type-Approval Certicate for
veried scales is only valid for non-
automatic weighing instruments� For
automatic operation with or without
additional, integrated equipment,
please follow the applicable national
regulations for the installation location�
§ Before use in legal metrology, the
scale should be adjusted via the
internal adjustment equipment at the
installation location: see the “Internal
Adjustment" section in this chapter�
$ The temperature range (°C) listed on
the ID label should not be exceeded
during operation�
For Servicing:
External Adjustment for Veried
Scales of Accuracy Class K and l
– External adjustment is blocked in legal
metrology (switch cover is sealed)
– External adjustment only possible by
removing the seal
If the seal is broken, the validity of
verification will become void and you
must have your scale re-verified�
Using a Verified Scale in Legal
Metrology with Internal Adjustment
Equipment:
§ Before use in legal metrology, the
“internal adjustment" function should
be carried out at the installation
location�
Characteristics
Which of the following features are
available depends on the connected
weighing platform� These features are
