Calibration and Adjustment
Background During calibration, a test weight is used to determine how much the displayed
value differs from the value actually measured by the balance. This difference is
compared to a predefined nominal mass value and is eliminated by subsequent
adjustment. During linearization, the difference of the values from the ideal
characteristic curve of the balance is compensated.
When to calibrate Calibration and adjustment should be performed regularly, such as daily after
switching on the balance. Also calibrate after every leveling and whenever the
ambient conditions have changed (temperature, humidity or air pressure) and when
the balance is set up in a new location.
isoCAL is an automatic calibration function built in to every Cubis balance.
You can modify this function for adaptation to your own requirements.
You also have the option of setting up a reminder function that prompts for
calibration/adjustment at user-defined intervals.
