Calibration

The scanner/scale must be calibrated if:

it is a first time installation

the scale cannot be re-zeroed

the calibration verification tests indicate errors

there is a change in the units of measure [i.e. from pounds (lbs.) to kilograms (kg)]

if the scale load cell has been replaced

the calibration seal is missing or torn

Note: The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this scanner is subject to federal, state and local Weights and Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by authorized government agencies and/or their duly registered agents. Each time the scale or weighing mechanism is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to being placed into service in commerce.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the scale to confirm compliance with the relevant Weights and Measures statutes and regulations applicable in your area by checking with the appropriate government agency before placing a newly calibrated unit into service or removing any official seals.

Tools Required

Field Standard 30.0 pound Weight Set or 15.0 kilogram Weight Set

Wire or Paper Seal

Note: Type of seal to be used will depend on the guidelines specified by the local Weights and Measures authorities.

Scale Calibration Methods

Scale Calibration with Remote Display uses the scale display to sequence through the calibration steps and store critical calibration points.

Bar Code Scale Calibration without Remote Display* uses the scanner / scale only and assumes there is no remote scale display. A bar code is used to initiate the calibration sequence and the speaker volume switch is used to store critical range values.

*This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the MS2420 but no data will appear on the remote display.
