How to calibrate a Filing scale.

2 calibration procedures for Filing indicators, balances, and scales, from our technicians' notes.

Reference only. Every digital scale has a different sequence of buttons to calibrate it, and most need a known calibration weight — typically calibrating at both zero (dead load) and span (the known-weight portion). Have a known weight ready before you start. These instructions are provided for reference only and Progressive Scale takes no responsibility for their use. If you need an on-site scale calibration in the CT, NY, or MA area, call 203-792-2854.

Go to the pot labeled R-40 and get as close as possibleto zero Push zero button Apply load Go to R-41 and dial to correct calibration weight Remove calibration weight Press "Re-zero" Re adjust if needed Once that is accomplished Call up true zero again. Go to R-40 and turn to negative 1/2 the scale capacity (-2500 to -2600lb) then rezero with button re apply calibration weight if incorrect, turn fine span pot 1/4 clockwise for up or 1/4 counter clock wise for down Do not watch the indcator because this will screw you up. Re zero the scale and re apply the calibration weight. repeat the procedure until it is correct.
