    CALIBRATION Calibration is required at installation (see Installation & Set-up) and at regular intervals thereafter. Calibrate if the balance is moved to a new location. 1. Allow a 60-minute warm-up period. 2. Press Tare to zero the balance (0.0000g) – if required. 3.
  • Page 7: Good Weighing Technique

    Good Weighing Technique Working with precision balances requires a steady hand and an even, uninterrupted technique. Use forceps or other suitable utensils to place the sample (and sample container) on the weigh pan as fingers are hygroscopic. If the balance has been idle and the draft chamber doors closed for an extended period, perform a number of test measurements before you begin weighing to allow the atmospheric conditions (temperature, RH and barometric pressure) inside the weighing chamber adjust to the ambient temperature outside the chamber.
