Page 11: General Operation Principles
USER MANUAL __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ General operation principles 1. In order to confirm correctness of the scale during its operation, before starting and after finishing every valid measurement series it is recommended to check weighing accuracy putting calibration weight or other object of exactly known mass on the scale. In the case when allowable measurement error of the scale is exceeded, it is recommended to perform calibration with external weight or contact authorised service centre. -
Page 12: Internal Calibration
USER MANUAL __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Internal calibration The ATA balances are equipped with internal calibration system, which general task is to maintain required measurement accuracy. Internal calibration is the process of putting internal weight on automatically by balance mechanism and correcting accuracy in balance firmware. The correction is necessary because of differences between values of gravitational acceleration in the place where the balance was manufactured and in the place where it is operated, as well as due to changes of balance level and temperature. -
