8-4. Calibration Using an External Weight

This function calibrates the balance using an external weight.

When the MC-10K is used

Connect the AC adapter and warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes with nothing on the weighing pan. Press and hold the CAL key until Calout

0 .000 g

Press and hold

Calout

 

 

is displayed, then release the key.

Step

3 The balance displays

If you want to change

the calibration weight,

 

 

press the

 

 

key and go to step 4.

in the balance, go to step 5.

Step

4 Specify the calibration weight value as follows:

With the MC-10K, the digits in the 1st, 2nd,

 

 

 

and 3rd decimal places can be adjusted.

 

 

 

With the MC-31K, the digits in the 1st and

 

 

 

2nd decimal places can be adjusted.

 

key.. To select the calibration weight (All of the

selected digits blinking). Refer to page 19.

PRINT key...... To store the new weight value. Even if the

 

AC adapter is removed, the data is

 

maintained in non-volatile memory.

Step 10

Place the calibration weight on the pan and confirm that the value

 

 

displayed is within ±20 digits of the specified value. If it is not within the range, check the ambient conditions such as breeze and vibration also check the weighing pan. Then, repeat steps 1 to 10.

MC-10K, MC-30K specifications

The A&D MC-30K and MC-10K are highly regarded weighing scales that cater to diverse industrial and commercial applications. Renowned for their accuracy, durability, and advanced technological features, these models are ideal for users who require precision in measurement.

The MC-30K model offers a capacity of up to 30 kilograms, while the MC-10K is designed for loads of up to 10 kilograms. Both models are equipped with high-resolution load cells that provide outstanding accuracy and stability in measurements. The readability of 1 gram for the MC-10K and 5 grams for the MC-30K ensures that even the smallest variations in weight are captured effectively, making them suitable for activities ranging from laboratory analysis to quality control in manufacturing processes.

One of the standout features of these scales is their easy-to-read LCD display, which allows users to view measurements clearly, even in low-light conditions. The display is designed to provide quick and efficient readouts, minimizing wait times during the weighing process.

Both the MC-30K and MC-10K models incorporate advanced technology, including automatic calibration and tare functions, which enhance usability and accuracy. The automatic calibration feature ensures that the scales maintain their precision over time, while the tare function allows users to weigh items in containers without needing to account for the container's weight separately.

Durability is another major characteristic of these scales. Built with robust materials, they are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in busy environments. Additionally, their compact design ensures that they occupy minimal space, making them suitable for various settings, including laboratories, warehouses, and retail outlets.

Convenience is amplified with the inclusion of RS-232 interface options for seamless connectivity to computers or printers, enabling easy data collection and reporting. The power-saving features of both models, including auto-off functionality, contribute to longer battery life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

In summary, the A&D MC-30K and MC-10K scales are exceptional tools for anyone needing reliable and precise weighing solutions. With their advanced features, user-friendly design, and durable construction, they stand out as top choices for industrial and commercial weighing applications.
