Operation
Calibration and Adjustment
Purpose
Adjustment is the correction of the difference between the measured value 
displayed and the true weight of a sample, or the reduction of the difference to an 
allowable level within maximum permissible error limits�
  Using a verified balance in legal metrology: 
Before use in legal metrology, the “internal calibration" function should be carried 
out at the installation location�
Features
The adjustment procedure should only be started when
–  The balance is unloaded
–  The balance is tared
–  The weighing signal is stable
–  The sensitivity of the balance can be corrected a max� of 2%�
–  Adjustment with a Sartorius density determination kit YDK… is possible�
–   Balances with motorized leveling feet are leveled automatically prior to each 
new calibration/adjustment (menu setting: device: extras: level: auto.)
If these settings are not made, the error message “Err  02" appears�
Adjustment can be made using different weight units:  
CAL.UNIT - grams, Kilogr (not for verified models)
–   You can also configure the mass comparator to perform calibration/adjustment 
automatically (isoCAL), when the preset time or temperature limit has been 
exceeded�
  External calibration for verified balances of accuracy class K 
–  When the balance is used in legal metrology, external calibration is blocked  
  as follows: 
–  The menu access switch is locked 
–  The menu access switch cap is sealed
To block calibration/adjustment:
– Select Cal./Adj. - Blocked 
–  Close the menu access switch on the back of the balance
Calibration and adjustment results can be printed in an ISO/GLP-compliant 
printout: settings and printout templates are listed starting on page 62�
Application parameters are deleted after calibration/adjustment�
Internal Calibration
In the operating menu, select Cal./Adj. -Cal.Int.�
The balance housing has a built-in motorized calibration weight�
§  Select Calibration/Adjustment: Press the C key
>  The internal calibration weight is loaded automatically
>  The balance is adjusted
>  The internal calibration weight is removed
