Calibration; Tools Required; Scale Calibration Methods - Honeywell MS2420 Installation And User Manual

Calibration

The scanner/Diva scale must be calibrated if:

it is a first time installation

the scale cannot be re-zeroed

the calibration verification tests indicate errors

there is a change in the units of measure [i.e. from pounds (lbs.) to kilograms (kg)]

if the scale load cell has been replaced

the calibration seal is missing or torn
Note: The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this scanner is subject to federal,
state and local Weights and Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by
authorized government agencies and/or their duly registered agents. Each time the scale or weighing
mechanism is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to being
placed into service in commerce.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the scale to confirm compliance with the relevant Weights and
Measures statutes and regulations applicable in your area by checking with the appropriate government
agency before placing a newly calibrated unit into service or removing any official seals.

Tools Required


Field Standard 30.0 pound Weight Set or 15.0 kilogram Weight Set

Phillips #1 Screw Driver

Wire or Paper Seal
Note: Type of seal to be used will depend on the guidelines specified by the local Weights and
Measures authorities.

Scale Calibration Methods


Scale Calibration with Remote Display uses the scale display to sequence through the calibration steps
and store critical calibration points.

Bar Code Scale Calibration without Remote Display* uses the scanner / scale only and assumes there
is no remote scale display. A bar code is used to initiate the calibration sequence and the Multi-Functional
Button (see page 44) is used to store critical range values.
* This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the MS2420/MS2430 but no
data will appear on the remote display.
