7. CALIBRATING THE BALANCE
For details on calibration, read the BM series instruction manual in addition to this manual.
Before calibration, refer to "3. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE". Because the BM series has an
especially high weighing sensitivity, make sure that the installation environment is appropriate and the
balance is warmed up for the appropriate duration, one hour or more.
7-1 Calibrating Using the Internal Mass
With the holder installed on the balance, it is possible to
calibrate the balance with one touch using the internal mass.
1 When the BM-20 / 22 are used:
Confirm that the microfuge tube holder is installed on
the balance.
When the BM-252 / 500 / 300 / 200 are used:
Confirm that the 30 mL sample cup holder is installed,
or the microfuge tube holder and the balance weight
are installed on the balance.
2 With nothing in the holder, connect the AC adapter and
warm up the balance for at least one hour.

A calibration test (CC in) can be used to confirm whether the
balance was calibrated correctly. (For details, refer to the BM
series instruction manual.)
NOTE
When you install the normal weighing pan in place of the holder and
displayed, calibrate the balance again with the normal weighing pan installed.
