4.5 Span Calibration
Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU:
Span calibration must be performed once the balance is installed and
before using the balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU.
Span calibration must be performed with the internal calibration weight
to maintain the verification valid. The balance must be connected to
power and warmed up for at least 2 hours prior to span calibration and
use as a legal measuring instrument.
It is necessary to calibrate the balance after it is moved.
Verify that the balance is stable before performing the span calibration. To achieve a very stable state,
ensure that the balance has been turned on with the gram-display for at least two hours, that the
temperature is constant, that there are no breezes or vibrations and that the balance is in an area
isolated from the normal traffic flow.

6. WindowsDirect Function
6.1 Introduction: Experience it!
The Reflex HP series balance can transfer data directly to a personal computer running Lotus 1-2-3,
Excel, or other applications running on a Windows* operating system, as if the displayed value were
typed from the keyboard. This function is called WindowsDirect. Because this function directly accesses
the Windows operating system, communication software-installation troubles are eliminated. A cable
and a few simple settings are all that is needed to enable data transmission from the balance.
6.2 Set Up WindowsDirect
6.2.1 Setting Up the Balance
1 Press the [CAL] key twice from the gram-display.
“Setwin” appears.
2 Press the [O/T] key. Verify the stability mark is
illuminated with “Setwin” displayed. All the
communication settings for WindowsDirect have
been made.
3 Go to “STAND-BY” by pressing the [POWER] key
several times and unplug the AC adapter from the
balance. Unpluging the balance once is necessary
after the above setting.
Note
“Setwin” selects all the communication settings to enable
WindowsDirect function. However, the stability (arrow) mark at the
“Setwin” display is linked to the delimiter setting only. If any of the other
communication settings have been changed after the last set-up for
WindowsDirect, access the “Setwin” display and press [O/T] key to
cancel the stability mark once, then, repeat the setting up with “Setwin”
newly for WindowsDirect.
