Datalogic Scanning 9504, 9500 manual Description of Calibration Sequence

Description of Calibration Sequence

The Calibration Sequence sets the scale to an accurate reference point for weighing. This process involves the use of a Field Standard Weight Set (31.5-pounds) for calibration in pounds, (18.5-kilograms) for Metric. Once calibration has been successfully completed, the scanner/scale uses the certified weight as a reference for subsequent weighing activities.

These verification procedures follow the U.S. National Institute of Stan- dards and Technology 44 Handbook guidelines for bench/counter scale installations.

If any of these tests fail to meet the required weight indications, you must calibrate the scanner/scale. Refer to the calibration procedures in this chapter for the proper procedures.

You may be required by state and/or local regulations to have procedures other than these performed by a certified technician or verification offi- cial.

Access to the calibration switch should be restricted with a paper or a wire and lead seal after the calibration has been performed if required by your local regulatory agency.

The Calibration Sequence must be performed without removing the scanner/ scale from its installed position.

NOTE

The following tools and supplies will be required to perform the calibra- tion process:

•31.5 pound Field Standard Weight Set1. (English calibration only).

•18.5 kilogram Field Standard Weight Set2. (Metric calibration only).

•Lead/Wire or Paper Seal (as required by law).

1.NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specified weights may be achieved by using a com- bination of weights from this set. eg. 20 lbs may be made up of one 10.00 lb. weight and two 5.00 lb. weights.

2.NOTE: Throughout the calibration procedures, specific weights may be achieved by using a com- bination of weights from this set. eg. 10 kgs. may be made up of one 5.00 kg. and five 1.00 kg. weights.
