Calibration; Calibration Mode - A&D FX-200i Instruction Manual

8-1 Calibration Mode

The balance has the following modes.
Calibration using the internal mass (One-touch calibration, only for the FZ-i series)
Calibration using an external weight
Calibration test using an external weight (Calibration test does not perform calibration.)
Terms
The following terms are defined as follows:
External weight
Calibration weight =
Target weight
Caution
Calibration adjusts the balance for accurate weighing.
Besides periodic calibration and before each use, perform calibration when:
• The balance is installed for the first time.
• The balance has been moved.
• The ambient environment has changed.
Do not allow vibration or drafts to affect the balance during calibration.
To output the data for GLP using the RS-232C serial interface, set "GLP output ( info )" of
"Data output ( dout )". For details, refer to "10. FUNCTION TABLE".
Calibration test is available only when "GLP output ( info )" of "Data output ( dout )" is set to "1" or "2".
When calibrating, use the accessory breeze break. (Models: FZ-i series (all) and FX-120i /200i
/300i /500i)
Caution on using an external weight
The accuracy of an external weight will influence the accuracy of weighing. Select an
appropriate weight as listed below:
