8.7 Weighing
NOTICE
Chemicals may damage the device or accessories!
Chemicals can attack the device or the connected accessories internally and
externally. This may damage the device and accessories.
t Use appropriate containers when weighing chemicals.
Procedure
t Start a task with weighing function.
t Zero the device. In order to do so, press the [Zero] button.
t If below-balance weighing is being carried out: Suspend the sample on the hook
for below-balance weighing, e.g. with a wire.
t If a container is being used for the sample:
t Place the container on the weighing pan.
t Tare the device. In order to do so, press the [Tare] button.
t Place the sample in the container or fill the container.
t If no container is used for the sample and no below-balance weighing is being
carried out: Place the sample on the weighing pan.
t Once the weight value is displayed in black and the weighing unit is displayed:
Read off the measured value.
8.8 Overview of Calibration, Adjustment, and Linearization
During calibration, a calibration weight is used to determine how much the displayed
value deviates from the actual value. This deviation is compared against a preset
target value. The subsequent adjustment eliminates this deviation. During lineariza-
tion, the deviation of the values from the ideal characteristic curve is corrected.
Calibration and adjustment must be performed regularly:
− Daily, every time the device is switched on
− After every leveling
− After changing the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, or air pressure)
− After setting the device up at a new installation site
Calibration and adjustment may be performed in different ways:
− Adjusting with the isoCAL function
− Internal or external calibration or adjustment
Only internal adjustment/calibration is possible for all conformity-assessed devices in
legal metrology.
