Calibration
A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are:
• at initial installation of the scanner/scale
• if the scale cannot be re-zeroed
• if you change the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or vice-
versa
• if diagnostics indicate a calibration error
• the weigh module has been replaced
Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/
scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.
Certification of the scanner/scale’s weighing apparatus is
subject to Federal, State and Local Weights and Measures
statutes and is restricted to authorized government agen-
cies and/or duly registered agents thereof. Anytime a scale
is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a lead and
wire or paper seal before being placed into service.
It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate
authorities in your area to ensure compliance with pertinent
regulations before removing any official seals or placing a
newly calibrated scanner/scale into service.
