Weight Calibration - Intercomp CW250 User Manual

Weight Calibration

The CW250 has the capability to apply and load up to 10 calibration points.
Depending on the calibration goal, one to ten load weights will need to be applied to
calibrate the scale. Multiple point calibration will improve scale accuracy by removing
undesirable characteristics of load cells. A typical weight calibration is a 3-Point
calibration. A 3-Point calibration will apply and enter three different and optimal loads
(not including the zero point). If three different weights are not available, a one or two
point calibration can be performed. To calibrate with one point (weight), turn off the
scale after completing step 13. To calibrate with two points, turn off the scale after
completing step 15.
