8 Scale Calibration/Adjustment
During calibration, an external calibration weight is used to determine how much
the displayed value deviates from the actual measurement value. This deviation is
compared against a preset target value. The subsequent adjustment corrects this
deviation or reduces it to the permissible error limits.
Before using a verified scale for legal metrology, calibration/adjustment
must always be carried out at the scale setup location. Depending on
the area of use, the function for external adjustment may be blocked in
some countries due to national legislation. Please observe the Sartorius
notes on legal metrology. Please contact Sartorius Service or the
national calibration authorities if you have any questions.
To achieve the highest accuracy possible, regularly calibrate and adjust the scale, e.g.:
− daily after switching on the scale,
− each time the scale is leveled,
− each time ambient conditions have changed (temperature, humidity, or air
pressure),
− each time the scale is set up at a new location or moved in its current location.
8.1 Conducting Calibration/Adjustment Using External
Calibration Weight
An external calibration weight is required for this function. Please note the tolerance
of the calibration weight being used.
Make sure that the weighing pan is empty.
