1.3 CALIBRATION MASSES REQUIRED
The masses required to test the EB Series Scales must meet the requirements of ASTM Class 4 or OIML
Class F2. The mass values are listed in Table 1-1.
TABLE 1-1. CALIBRATION MASSES
MODEL Calibration
Cal in kg: Masses Totaling
EB3 3kg
EB6 6kg
EB15 15kg
EB30 30kg
Note: The EB Scales can be calibrated over a wide range, however, it is recommended that the
calibration mass used is at or near the full capacity of the scale for maximum accuracy.
1.4 SERVICE STRATEGY
The repair method for the EB Series Scales is the direct substitution of major assemblies. The available
repair parts are listed in Table 5-1.
The EB Series Scales contains 6 major replaceable assemblies: Top Housing, Membrane Switch, Load
Cell Assembly with Frame, Lead Acid Rechargeable Battery, Display PC Board with LCD and the Main
PC Board.
NOTE: The Load Cell and LCD may also be ordered and replaced separately.
This service manual contains sufficient information to isolate the problem, replace the component, test
and restore the Scale to original factory specifications.
