Section 5
Calibration
A number of situations require the scale to be calibrated. They are:
• at initial installation of the scanner/scale
• if the scale cannot be re-zeroed
• if you change the weight measure from pounds to kilograms or
vice-versa
• if diagnostics indicate a calibration error
• the weigh module has been replaced
Follow the procedures on the following pages to ensure that the scanner/
scale will meet Weights and Measurement requirements.
Certification of the scanner/scale’s weighing apparatus is subject to
Federal, State and Local Weights and Measures statutes and is
restricted to authorized government agencies and/or duly registered
agents thereof. Anytime a scale is calibrated, it should be properly
sealed with a lead and wire or paper seal before being placed into ser-
vice.
It is your responsibility to check with the appropriate authorities in your
area to ensure compliance with pertinent regulations before removing
any official seals or placing a newly calibrated scanner/scale into ser-
vice.
