The Gravity mode feature provides a means of
adjusting the scale's internal calibration factors to
compensate for variations in acceleration due to
gravity at different geographic locations. These
differences can cause a given mass to indicate a
slightly different weight at an end-user's (local)
site than it did at the Calibration (CAL) site.
To make the adjustment, you must know the
value of the gravity constant for the local site.
This value is expressed in meters per second,
per second (i.e., m/s
calibrate the scale, therefore, no calibration
weights are needed to make this adjustment.
The scale maintains two gravity setting values.
The first is the "calibration-site" value known as
CAL-GR. The second is the end-user or "local-
site" value and is known as LOC-Gr. When the
scale was originally calibrated at the factory, the
CAL-GR and LOC-GR values were both set to
9.8040 which is the gravity constant for the
manufacturing site.
To adjust the displayed weight value, you must
enter the local gravity value.
