Adjustment/Calibration
During calibration
1
), the balance is adapted to
changes in ambient conditions.
You should recalibrate your balance each time you
set it up in a different area or when the ambient
conditions (such as the temperature or the barometric
pressure) have changed.
Independent of such changes, you should calibrate
balances acceptable for legal metrological
verification at least once a day (i.e., even when
the ambient conditions remain constant). To meet the
highest requirements for accurate weighing, we
recommend that you calibrate the balance before
each weighing series.
The balance offers you various calibration functions.
The function you select is indicated in the display
by one of the following codes:
“CAL” : calibration function is activated
“C–I” : internal calibration
“C–E” : external calibration
“C–t” : sensitivity test
“CAL I”: the balance has an internal
calibration weight
You can use the c key (13) to interrupt any
calibration process.

) “Calibration” technically means to determine
the difference between the balance readout and
the actual weight on the pan to determine the
accuracy. Adjustment means to bring a balance
into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual,
actually means “adjustment.”
