Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
The type-approval certificate for veri­fication applies only to non-automatic weighing instruments. For automatic operation with or without auxiliary measuring devices, you must comply with the regulations applicable to the place of installation.
G Before using the balance as a legal
measuring instrument, calibrate and adjust it at the place of use using the built-in motorized calibration weight; for details, see “Calibration/Adjustment" in this chapter.

Working with CPA2P, CPA26P… Models:
Working with the microbalance requires a steady hand and a smooth, uninterrupted technique.
Use forceps or other suitable utensil to place the sample on the weighing pan.
Perform a number of test measurements before you begin weighing, to allow the temperature inside the weighing chamber to adjust to the ambient temperature outside the chamber. Otherwise, if the chamber door was closed for a longer period of time prior to beginning weighing, the sudden change in tem­perature inside the chamber when you open the door might affect the weight readout. This is why a series of test measurements is recommended; the repeated opening and closing of the weighing chamber door, at the same rate of speed as will be used during the actual weighing sequence, will both compensate this difference in tempera­ture to some extent and help you develop a smooth working rhythm.
Place the sample gently on the weighing pan. The weight readout should stabilize within 15 to 20 seconds. The degree of precision attained increases in proportion as the weighing operations become more homogenous.

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose
Calibration is the determination of the difference between the weight readout and the true weight (mass) of a sample. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the balance.
Adjustment is the correction of any difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of the sample, or the reduction of the difference to an allowable level within the maximum permissible error limits.
Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*: Before using your balance as a legal measuring instrument, you must perform “internal calibration" at the place of installation after the warmup period.
Features
Calibration/adjustment can be performed
only when: – there is no load on the balance, – the balance is tared, and – the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met,
an error message is displayed (Err 02).
Adjustment can be performed – automatically following calibration
(1 10 1) or – manually, at operator discretion,
after calibration (1 10 2)
* Including the Signatories of the Agree-
ment on the European Economic Area
– The weight displayed for the sample
on the balance must not differ from the nominal weight by more than 2%.
– You can use any of the following
weight units to calibrate/adjust the balance: g, kg, lb (1 11 1 to 3, factory setting: 1 11 1)
You can block calibration/adjustment
of the balance as follows: – Select menu code1 9 7, or – Close the menu access switch on the
back of the balance
– You can have calibration/adjustment
start automatically when a specified
time or temperature limit is reached
(isoCAL function; 1 15 3).
– You can have calibration and
adjustment results documented as
an ISO/GLP-compliant printout;
see page 51.
External Calibration in Verified
Balances of Accuracy Class K
– When the balance is used in legal
metrology, external calibration is
blocked by a seal over the menu
access switch.
WWW.BALANCES.COM

Internal Calibration/Adjustment
The menu code setting 1 9 3 must be selected in the Setup menu.
Inside the balance housing is a motorized calibration weight which is applied and removed automatically for internal calibration.
G Activate calibration: Press (CAL)
> The built-in calibration weight is
applied automatically
> The balance is calibrated
> If “Calibrate, then auto adjust in one
operation" is selected in the Setup menu, the balance is now adjusted automatically.
> The internal calibration weight is
removed.
! Important note for calibration/adjust-
ment of the CPA2P-F model: position the cover before calibration/adjust­ment
Calibration and Adjustment Sequence
In the Setup menu, you can configure whether:
– Calibration is always followed auto-
matically by adjustment (1 10 1; factory setting), or
– You have the choice of ending the
sequence or starting adjustment after calibration (1 10 2)
If no difference is determined between nominal and actual weights, you can end the calibration routine following calibration. Two keys are active at this point:
– (CAL) = start adjustment
– (CF) = end the sequence
WWW.BALANCES.COM

isoCAL*: Automatic Calibration and Adjustment
The menu code setting 1 15 3 must be selected in the Setup menu.
– Temperature range with isoCAL:
0°C to +40°C The “AUTOCAL" display automatically begins flashing if the ambient temperature has changed in relation to the tempera­ture at the time of the last calibration/ adjustment, or after a defined time inter­val has elapsed. The balance is telling you that it wants to self-calibrate and adjust.
This adjustment prompt is activated when:
– The change in temperature or the elapsed
time interval is greater than that shown in the table below
– The load on the pan has not been
changed within the last 2 minutes
– The balance has not been operated within
the last 2 minutes
– The weight on the pan is no more than 2%
of the maximum capacity of the balance
*= CPA64-WDS models:
factory setting isoCAL off (Code 1 15 1)
When these requirements are met,
the following symbols are displayed: – C in the measured value line – AUTOCAL flashes in the symbol display
In the Setup menu, you can configure
the balance to display the adjustment
prompt only, without performing
calibration/adjustment automatically
(menu code 1 15 2).
! Important note for calibration/adjust-
ment of the CPA2P-F model: position
the cover before calibration/adjustment.
This is necessary to enable automatic
calibration (isoCAL) to take place.
