CHAPTER 1
GETTING STARTED
1.9 CALIBRATION
Three calibration processes are available: Zero, Span, and Linearity Calibration. In addition, a
Calibration Test and Geographical Adjustment Factor setting are accessible from the CAL
menu.
Preliminary Steps
:
1. Be sure appropriate calibration masses are available before beginning calibration.
2. Be sure the scale base is level and stable during the entire calibration process.
3. If LFT is set to On, calibration is unavailable.
To set LFT to OFF, see Section 1.10, page 1-13.
Note:
To use the LFT mode again after turning it off, it is necessary to have the
Indicator locked and sealed by local Weights and Measures authorities.
4. If the Calibration Menu is locked in the Menu Lock submenu, turn it back on:
– Press and hold

5. Allow the Indicator to warm up for approximately ten minutes after stabilizing to room
temperature.
6. To abort calibration, press the
Exit
button anytime during the calibration process.
1.8.1 Zero
Calibration
Zero calibration uses one calibration point. The zero calibration point is established with no
weight on the scale. Use this calibration method to adjust for a different pre-load without
affecting the span or linearity calibration.
Press and hold
TARE/Menu
until
C.A.L.
appears, then press
Yes
.
(
LFt.NO
appears briefly before
C.A.L.
, if the Indicators is not in LFT mode.)
ZErO
appears. Press
Yes
to initiate Zero Calibration.
The display flashes
0
and the calibration unit. Press
Yes
to establish the
zero point.
The display shows
--C--
while the zero point is established.
When zero calibration is completed, the display shows
dONE
.
Then the scale exits to the active weighing mode and displays the actual
weight value.
