Calibration and Adjustment
Purpose
The accuracy of weighing results must
be carefully controlled. This is achieved
through calibration and adjustment.
Calibration technically means to
determine the difference between
the weighing instrument readout and
the actual weight on the platform to
determine the accuracy. This does
not involve making any changes in
the scale.
Adjustment means to bring a weighing
instrument to the level of accuracy
required for its use.
Configuring Functions for Use of the
Scale in Legal Metrology
Proceed as follows to use the Combics
in legal metrology:
– Block external calibration/adjustment
Preparation:
§ Remove the covering panel on
the left-hand side of the back of
the indicator
§ Move the switch to the left
> Switch on the left:
For legal metrology (factory setting
on scales verified for use in legal
metrology)
> Switch on the right:
