To get the most accurate results from your U S SOLID USS-DBS62 Analytical Balance, regular calibration is crucial. Here's a straightforward guide:
When to Calibrate:
- Before you use the balance for the first time.
- After a significant power outage or if the balance has been off for a long time.
- Whenever you move the balance to a new location, as environmental factors can affect its performance.
- Routine calibration is recommended during your weighing procedures.
Calibration Steps:
-
Choose Calibration Mode: Press and hold the "ON" button until the display shows "SET-C", then release it.
-
Exit Setup: Press the "TARE" button to save and exit the setup menu.
-
Single-Point Calibration:
- Press "TARE" to show "0.0000".
- Press "CAL" to initiate calibration; the display should show "CAL--0". If you have an internal calibration model, the balance will calibrate automatically.
- Follow the instructions on the display, which will prompt you to place a calibration weight on the balance. For instance, if you're using a 200g weight, the display will show "200.0000".
- Once the balance has registered the weight, remove the weight to complete the calibration process.
-
Internal Calibration Weight Value Setting (Internal Calibration Balance):
- Choose the calibration mode "CAL-2" following the previous steps.
- Press the "CAL" button; the display will show "CAL-DN".
- Place the standard calibration weight on the balance as instructed until the display shows "CAL-UP", then remove the weight.
- Wait for the calibration to finish, and the display will show "0.0000".
-
Linearity Calibration:
- Make sure the balance is unloaded and shows "0.0000".
- Press and hold the "ON" button to enter the main menu.
- Release the button when "SET-C" appears.
- Press and hold the "CAL" button for 3 seconds, then release. The display should show "LIN-0".
- Place the calibration weight as prompted and follow the instructions to finish the linearity calibration.
