Scale Calibration (For Models With a Scale) 4 - 11
The weight checked at each position on the scale, shown in Figure 4-5, represent halfway between the center of 
the platter and corner. Use a stack configuration of weights if needed (i.e., (2) 5.00 lb weights, or (2) 2.500 kg 
weights) 
depending on the units of measure programmed.
 
Figure 4-5    Weight Positions on the Scale Platter
While performing a shift test, the indication of each position is within the applicable tolerance and the range of 
results obtained should not exceed twice the applicable tolerance.
5.00 Position 2 5.000 .005 kg .003 kg
5.00 Position 3 5.000 .005 kg .003 kg
5.00 Position. 4 5.000 .005 kg .003 kg
