Calibration; Capacity - Cardinal HSDC series Operation Manual

Your HSDC hanging scale has been calibrated prior to shipment and should not require re-
calibration before it is placed in service. A regular check of the instrument's calibration should be
made to ensure that its weighing accuracy is maintained.
To check the calibration of your HSDC hanging scale, you must have a calibrated test weight or
weights equal to the scale's capacity. Begin by making certain that the scale is unloaded and that
the display is indicating zero weight. Load the scale with the test weight(s) and observe the weight
display. If the displayed weight is different from the total test weight value, calibration may be
necessary. Note that a qualified scale technician should be consulted before any attempt at
calibration is made.
NOTE! This scale is provided with a means of attaching a seal to prevent access
to the calibration switch.
Step 1. Remove the seals (if present) from the calibration cover plate, then remove the two
retaining screws and cover plate.
