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
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.
