5.0  CALIBRATION 
Calibration may be required when the balance is initially installed or moved to a new 
location. Over time and use, mechanical deviations may occur so it is recommended 
that you calibrate you balance regularly for peak performance. 
Before calibrating your should make sure you have the correct weights. The weights 
should be known to an accuracy that is appropriate for the balance being calibrated, 
for  example,  OIML  Class  M1  type  or  ASTM  E617  Class  4.  If  you  do  not  have  the 
correct weights do not attempt calibration.

1)  To  calibrate  the  balance  apply  power  and  switch  the balance on,  whilst  the 
display is cycling through it’s test routine press the [Tare] and [Unit] keys at 
the same time, then release after 1 second . 
2)  The display will show UnLOAD remove any objects from the pan. 
3)  Press the [Tare] key to enter a zero value.  
4)  The  value  last used  for calibration  will  be  displayed  (see above  table).  To 
select a different calibration weight, press the [Unit] key. 
5)  Once  you  have  selected  the  calibration  weight  to  be  used  press  the  [Tare] 
key. 
6)  LOAD will be displayed, place the calibration weight on the pan. 
7)  Once the stable sign is shown press the [Tare] key. 
8)  If  the  weight  is  within  5%  of  the  last  calibration  value the  display  will  show 
PASS  and  exit  the  calibration  mode.  If  the  calibration  is  not  successful  the 
display will show FAIL and exit the calibration mode, if the calibration fails try 
it again.
