(Only Model i-1x)
When using the isoCAL function, the device performs an
automatic time- and temperature-dependent internal
calibration and adjustment.
If this relates to a conformity-assessed device in
legal metrology: In some cases it is not possible to
switch off the isoCAL function.
Procedure
t Open the “SETUP”/”BALANCE” menu.
t To set the automatic start of the isoCAL function: Select the
“ON” calibration value for the “ISOCAL” parameter.
t To set the manual start of the isoCAL function: Select the
“Note” calibration value for the “ISOCAL” parameter.
t To switch off the isoCAL function: Select the “OFF”
calibration value for the “ISOCAL” parameter.
7.2.2 Setting Internal Calibration and Adjustment
(Only Model i-1x)
The following functions can be set for the internal calibration
and adjustment:

− Internal calibration with manual start of the adjustment.
Procedure
t Open the “SETUP”/”BALANCE” menu. Call up the “CAL.JUST.”
parameter and select the value “CAL.INT.”.
t If the calibration function needs to be set with subsequent
automatic adjustment: In the “SETUP”/”BALANCE” menu, for
the “CAL.SEQ.” parameter, select the “ADJUST” setting value.
t If the calibration function needs to be set without
subsequent automatic adjustment: In the
“SETUP”/”BALANCE” menu, for the “CAL.SEQ.” parameter,
select the “CAL./ADJ.” setting value.
7.2.3 Setting the External Calibration and Adjustment
The following functions can be set for the external calibration
and adjustment:
− External calibration with manual start of the adjustment.
If this relates to a conformity-assessed device in
legal metrology: External calibration and adjustment is not possible.
Procedure
t Open the “SETUP”/”BALANCE” menu.
t If the calibration function needs to be set with subsequent
automatic adjustment: Select the “ADJUST” calibration
value for the “CAL.SEQ.” parameter.
t If the calibration function needs to be set without
subsequent automatic adjustment: Select the “CAL-ADJUST”
calibration value for the “CAL.SEQ.” parameter.
Setting the Weight Value for the External Weight
A preset weight value or a user-defined weight value can be set
for the external weight.
Procedure
t If the preset weight value needs to be used: In the
“SETUP”/”BALANCE” menu, for the “CAL./ADJ.” parameter,
select the “EXT.CAL.” setting value.
t If a user-defined weight value needs to be set:
t In the “INPUT” menu, select the “CAL.WT.” setting value.
t Enter the desired weight value and press the [Confirm]
button.

t
CAUTION Pointed or sharp-edged objects may damage
the operating display!
t Only touch the operating display with your fingertips.
t To switch the device on: Press the [On/Off] button.
t To switch the device off: Press and hold the [On/Off]
button.
8.3 Leveling the Device with a Level Indicator
Unevenness at the installation site of the device may result in
incorrect weighing results. Leveling balances out unevenness at
the installation site.
Procedure
t Unscrew the rear leveling
feet, until they touch the
setup surface.
y The support foot (1) is not in
contact with the setup
surface.
t To level the device: Bring the
air bubble of the level

t Check that the device is standing on 4 leveling feet and
the support foot (1) is not in contact with the setup
surface.
indicator into the middle of
the circular marking. To do so,
turn the leveling feet to the
left or right.
8.4 Overview of Calibration and Adjustment
During calibration, a calibration weight is used to determine
the deviation of the displayed value from the actual value.
The subsequent adjustment eliminates this deviation.
We recommend regular calibration and adjustment:
8.2 Waiting for the Warm-up Time
In order to provide accurate weighing results, the device
must have reached the necessary operating temperature.
The operating temperature is reached after the warm-up time.
The warm-up time starts when the device is switched on.
Procedure
t Switch on the device.
t Wait until the operating temperature is reached (warm-up
time see Chapter “15.7 Warm-up Time”, page 37).
If a weighing process is carried out on a conformityassessed device during the warm-up time:
The weight value is marked as invalid.
− Daily, every time the device is switched on
− After every leveling
− After changing the ambient conditions (temperature,
humidity, or air pressure)
− After setting the device up at a new installation site
8.5 Calibrating and Adjusting Device with
isoCAL Function (Only Model i-1x)
Triggers for the automatic start of the isoCAL function are:
− The ambient temperature has changed since the last
adjustment process.
− The interval time was exceeded (interval time, see Chapter
“15.7 Warm-up Time”, page 37).
If this relates to a conformity-assessed model:
The device has been disconnected from the power
supply since the last adjustment.
Entris® BCE Operating Instructions 27
Page 28
Operation
Requirements
− The automatic or manual start of the isoCal function is set
in the menu (see Chapter “7.2.1 Switching the isoCAL
Function On or Off (Only Model i-1x)”, page 17).
− The device is not located in the menu settings.
− The load on the weighing pan remains unchanged for
2 minutes.
− The load on the scales amounts to no more than 2% of the
maximum load.
− The device does not register an input for 2 minutes.
Procedure
t If the automatic start of the isoCAL function is triggered:
y The [isoCAL] button flashes in the operating display.
y The operating display shows “CAL.” for 19 seconds.
y If no load change or no operation takes place on the
device before the expiration of the time display:
The isoCAL function starts.
t If the manual start of the isoCAL function is triggered:
y The [isoCAL] button flashes in the operating display.
t Press the [isoCAL] button.
y The isoCAL function starts.
8.6 Calibrating and Adjusting the Device
Internally (Only Model i-1x)
Requirements
− The weighing pan is unloaded.
− The operating display shows a stable weight value.
− The internal calibration and adjustment function is set
(see Chapter “7.2.2 Setting Internal Calibration and
Adjustment (Only Model i-1x)”, page 17).
Procedure
t Press the [Zero] button.
t Press the [Adjust] button.
y The weight value is displayed.
t If the calibration function with subsequent automatic
adjustment is selected:
y The “CAL.RUN.” display appears in the operating display
during the process.
y The “CAL.END” display indicates the end of calibration.
t If the calibration function without subsequent automatic
adjustment is selected:
t Press the [Confirm] button.
y The calibration process starts.
y The “CAL.RUN.” display appears in the operating display
during the process.
y The calibration error is displayed.
t Press the [Confirm] button.
y The adjustment is performed.
y The “CAL.END” display indicates the end of calibration.
8.7 Externally Calibrating and Adjusting the
Device
MaterialCalibration and adjustment weight
Requirements
− The weighing pan is unloaded.
− The operating display shows a stable weight value.
− The external calibration and adjustment function is set
(see Chapter 7.2.3, page 17).
− The preset weight value for the adjustment weight or the
user-defined weight value for the adjustment weight is
selected (see Chapter 7.2.3, page 17).
Procedure
t Press the [Zero] button.
t Press the [Adjust] button.
t Place the indicated calibration and adjustment weight on
the balance.
y The weight value is displayed.
t If the calibration with subsequent automatic adjustment
function is selected and the calibration weight placed on
the device is within the specified limits:
y The adjustment process starts.
y If the “+” prefix was displayed: The applied weight is
too big.
y If the “-” prefix was displayed: The applied weight is
too small.
y The “CAL.END” message indicates the end of calibration.
t Remove the calibration weight.
t If the calibration without subsequent automatic adjustment
function is selected and the calibration weight placed on
the device is within the specified limits:
t Press the [Confirm] button.
y The adjustment process starts.
y If the “+” prefix was displayed: The applied weight is
too big.
y If the “-” prefix was displayed: The applied weight is
too small.
y The “CAL.END” message indicates the end of calibration.
t Remove the calibration weight.
8.8 Printing Results of the Calibration and
Adjustment Process
The results of the calibration and adjustment process can be
printed in a GLP printout.
Procedure
t Set the GLP printout in the menu (setting parameters,
see Chapter 7.3.7, page 22).
t Calibrate the device.
y Once the calibration is complete: The printing process starts.
