Balance Calibration
Balance calibration is explained and performed as part of instrument setup, see page
20.The sequence is repeated here for continuity. The balance should be calibrated:
∙If the instrument has been turned off for several hours or in storage,
∙After the instrument is moved,
∙Whenever a problem is suspected, and/or
∙As often as required by your quality policy.
NOTE: The MAX 5000XL must be powered on until the balance temperature stability icon in the lower left corner of the main screen changes from unstable 
to stable 
to allow the balance to stabilize before beginning the balance calibration. (See section 6.1 Balance Temperature Stability on page 64 for more information). The unit should not be moved, jarred, or otherwise disturbed in any way during the calibration period. A
