Depending on the latitude of your location, your scales would measure somewhere in
between. The table below shows the gravitation correction factor for a few cities around the
world.

NOTE

Ensure that the scale system is clean and ready to receive product. This step establishes the
gross zero reference. You must perform a C2 Calibration after setting the Gravity
Correction or the correction factor won’t work.

In general if your location is between the 45th parallel and the equator, gravity correction
is greater than 1.0. For example, at these latitudes, because the gravity is less, you are
adding, 1.0006 for an error that is .06%). For locations between the 45th parallel and the
North or South Pole your correction factor will be less than 1.0. For example .9994 for an
error that is -.06%.
