Calibration User Balance Application Weighing GLP and Communication Settings Setup Modes Units GMP Data Library Diagnostics Factory Lockout Information Settings Reset Calibration Explorer Balances offer a choice of six calibration methods: Internal Calibration, AutoCal Calibration, Calibration Adjust, Span Calibration, linearity Calibration, and User Calibration.

  • Page 92: Autocal™ Adjustment

    EN-90 EXPLORER BALANCES 5.3.4 AutoCal™ Adjustment Use this calibration method to adjust the zero calibration point, without affecting the span or linearity calibration. Calibration Adjust may be used to adjust the result of the Internal calibration by +100 divisions. Note: Before making a calibration adjustment, perform an Internal Calibration. To verify whether an adjustment is needed, place a test mass equal to the span calibration value* on the pan and note the difference (in divisions) between the nominal mass value and the actual Balance reading.
