10.0 CALIBRATION

The PGW XXXe series can only be calibrated with an external mass. The
PGW XXXi series can be calibrated with either an internal mass (default
method) or an external mass (if setup by the user to do this). See the User
Parameters section.

10.1 MANUAL CALIBRATION

Pressing the [Cal] key will start calibration. Calibration can also be initiated by
a change in internal temperature or a set time period as determined by the
user (see section 13.5).
10.1.1

Calibration using Internal Calibration mass

Calibration will begin automatically. When calibration is complete the balance
will return to weighing.
10.1.2

Calibration using External Calibration mass

• Pressing [Esc] will abort the calibration at any time
• Press the [Cal] key
• The display will show the balance setting a new Zero condition by
showing "LOAD 0". Make sure the pan is empty then press the [Enter]
key to continue
• The display will show the busy symbol and then will ask for the value of
the calibration mass to be entered sounding a beep and displaying the
default calibration mass. For example, for PGW753e model the display
will be "CAL MASS 500,000 g" where 500g is the default calibration
mass. Using the numeric entry method, the user may alter the displayed
value to any value ranging from one-third to full capacity of the balance.
For example, "CAL MASS 300,000 g". Press [Enter] to continue
• The balance will then show the value of the calibration mass selected
sounding a beep, i.e., "LOAD 300,000 g"
• Place the selected mass on the balance. Press [Enter] to continue
• The display will show the busy symbol and after calibration is complete
it will display "UNLOAD" sounding a beep. Remove the weight. Another
beep will be heard confirming the unloading action. The balance will
then return to normal weighing.
