5-4 Magellan® 9500
Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration
1. Assure that the scanner/scale is stable, secure and properly installed.
(Refer to Chapter 2, Site Preparation and Installation for instructions
on the proper installation of the scanner/scale).
2. Power-up the scanner/scale.
3. Allow the unit to reach temperature equilibrium for at least one
hour. If the scanner/scale is already at room temperature, allow at
least 15 minutes for acclimatization.
4. Before performing the calibration, the scanner/scale must be pre-
stressed with a weight of more than 30 pounds (15kg). With power
turned on, place the entire weight set (including the case) on the
weighing surface of the scale. The display should show an under-
score and three hyphens , which is the overweight indica-
tion.
5. Remove all weight from the weighing surface and ensure that there
are no obstructions in the debris chutes of the scanner/scale. See
Figure 2-3.
Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms)
1. Before proceeding, ensure that the scanner/scale has been prepared
for this process by performing the preceding steps titled, Preparing
the Scanner/Scale for Calibration.
2. Remove the weigh platter and make sure that there are no obstruc-
tions in the debris chutes.
3. Cut and remove the seal that secures the calibration switch access
cover and retate the cover down as shown in Figure 5-1. The seal
may not be present if this is the initial installation of the scanner/
scale.
