Rice Lake Sartorius Midrics 1 and 2 Series - Operating Instructions - Manual (Page 53)

Calibration and Adjustment
Purpose
Perform calibration to determine the dif-
ference between the value displayed and
the actual weight on the platform. Cali-
bration does not entail making
any changes within the weighing instru-
ment.
Perform adjustment to eliminate any dif-
ference determined, or to reduce
it to a level that is within the applicable
tolerance limits.
Configuration for Use in Legal Metrolo-
gy
To configure the Midrics for use in
legal metrology, adjust the switch on the
back of the display and control unit (A/D
converter configuration: Verif. selected
for legal-for-trade applications). The
switch is covered by a
protective cap.
Position:
§ Switch on the right: For use in
legal metrology
§ Switch on the left: External calibration/
adjustment accessible

You can configure the parameters
listed below in the operating menu.
Which of the features listed here are
available depends on the connected
