Calibrating your Kern EFS Series Precision Balance is essential for achieving accurate weighing results. Here's how to do it:
-
Ensure a Stable Environment: Before you begin, make certain the balance is placed in a stable location, away from drafts, vibrations, and extreme temperatures. This ensures the most accurate calibration.
-
Access the Adjustment Menu: Press and hold the menu access button on the balance's keypad until the unit display appears on the screen. This grants access to the adjustment settings.
-
Initiate Calibration: Navigate through the menu options and select the "cALE" menu item. This action will prompt the balance to enter the calibration mode.
-
Add the Calibration Weight: Press the "Zero" button. The display will show "PutLd", indicating it's time to place the appropriate calibration weight on the weighing pan. Refer to your Kern EFS Series Precision Balance manual for the correct weight value.
-
Complete the Adjustment: After placing the weight, the display will indicate "Wait," followed by "reMLd." At this point, carefully remove the calibration weight.
-
Finalize Calibration: The balance will automatically revert to the weighing mode once the weight is removed, signifying that the calibration is complete.
-
Verification and Maintenance: For quality-sensitive applications, it's a good practice to keep the calibration weight nearby for regular verification of your Kern EFS Series Precision Balance's accuracy. This helps to maintain optimal performance over time.
