.6 Linearisation (not verifiable models) Linearity shows the greatest deviation of a weight display on the scale to the value of the respective test weight according to plus and minus ov er the entire weighing range. If linearity deviation is discovered during a testing instrument control, you can improve this by means of linearization.
6.7 Verification General introduction: According to EU directive 90/384/EEC b alances must be verified if they are used as llows (legally controlled area): a) For commercial transactions if the price of goods is determined by weighing. b) For the production of medicines in pharmacies as well as for analyses in the medical and pharmaceutical laboratory.
7 Operation 7.1 Start-up Press , and the instrument will carry out a self-test. The instrument is ready for weighing when a weight display appears. 7.2 Switching Off Press until the display disappears. 7.3 Zeroing Resetting to zero corrects the influe nce of light soiling on the weighing plate.
7.5 Switch-over w eighing unit (only not verifiable models) How to enable w eighing units: Call-up menu item P5 Unt, see chap. 8 Press and the first weighing unit with the current setting will be displayed. To enable [on] / disable [off] the displayed weighing unit, press Acknowledge with .
7.6 Weighing with tare Deposit weighing vessel. After successful stop check press the button. The zero display and the indicator appear. The weight of the container is now internally saved. Weigh the m aterial, the net weight will be indicated. The weight of the weighing container will be displayed as a minus number after removing the weighing container.
