Calibration; Calibration Verification - Intercomp CS200 User Manual

Calibration

Calibration should be performed annually under normal operating conditions. If the unit
is dropped, damaged, or service has been performed on the scale, a new calibration
should be performed. Recommended calibration points are at 10% intervals from 10%
through 100% of the scales capacity.

Calibration Verification

Turn of the CS200. The unit will perform a self-test and lamp test. Upon successful
completion of the self-test, the unit will enter the weigh mode and is ready to begin
weighing. Intercomp recommends letting the electronics warm up for a minimum of
three minutes to allow the electronics to stabilize for maximum accuracy before
beginning the calibration check.
1. Verify there is no weight is on the hook.
2. Press the ZERO switch. The weight shown will be zero.
3. Apply weights at each step of the weighing range. Verify the correct weight is
displayed at each step (+/- 0.1% of applied load or ±1 display graduation,
whichever is greater).
4. If possible, apply a weight of 105% of capacity and verify the scale displays
OVER on the indicator screen.
5. Remove the weights and verify the display returns to zero. If no errors are
encountered, the scale is operational. If a failure(s) is encountered, refer to the
Calibration instructions.
Entering Numbers
During the calibration check, the screen will issue a prompt to enter a number. The
scale will display a number (originally all zeros) with a blinking digit. Press the ZERO
key to increase the value of the blinking digit. Press the BACKLIGHT key to move to the
next digit. When finished entering the required number, press the ZERO and
BACKLIGHT keys together to save the entry.
