isoCAL:
Automatic Calibration and Adjustment
First set either On and reset
the application or On
without resetting the
app. (factory setting) in the Setup:
Balance menu. The “isoCAL” display
automatically begins flashing if the
ambient temperature changes 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 adjust itself.
This automatic calibration prompt
is triggered when:
– The change in temperature or
the elapsed time interval is
greater than that shown in the table
at the right
– The balance status does not corre-
spond to Setup configurations
– No number or letter input is active
– The load has not been changed
within the last 2 minutes
–
The balance has not been operated
within the last 2 minutes
– The load on the balance does
not exceed 2% of the maximum
capacity
– When you turn on the balance
after it had been disconnected
from power (only on verified
balances with a readability
of ≤0.1 mg)
When these requirements are met,
C is displayed in the measured value
line. If the balance is not operated
and the load is not changed, internal
calibration and adjustment starts after
15 seconds have elapsed.
Automatic Calibration and
Adjustment at Set Times*
Select either On and reset
application or On without
resetting app. (factory set-
ting) in the Setup menu.
In the Setup: Input menu, you can
now enter up to three different times
of day for automatic calibration/
adjustment. When one of these times
is reached, the balance will display
the flashing calibration prompt
(“isoCAL”). Calibration/adjustment is
not performed if the balance is
off or in the Setup mode at the time
set for calibration.
If the balance is being operated at
the time set for automatic calibration/
adjustment, the calibration/
adjustment sequence is prompted
afterward.
Automatic calibration/ adjustment is
prompted at set times when:
– The set time is reached
– The balance status does not
correspond to Setup configurations
– No alphanumeric input is active
(e.g., equation for calculation)
– The load has not been changed
within the last 2 minutes
– The balance has not been
operated within the last 2 minutes
– The load on the balance does
not exceed 2% of the maximum
capacity
When these requirements are met,
C is displayed in the measured
value line.
If the balance is not operated and
the load is not changed, internal
calibration and adjustment starts after
15 seconds have elapsed.
In the Setup menu, you can configure
the balance so that after calibration
and adjustment
– the application program
is restarted On and reset
the application
– the application program remains
at its previous status
On without resetting
the app.
Also in Setup, you can configure
the balance so that it displays
a calibration prompt, but does not
perform the calibration/adjustment
functions automatically
Only adjustment prompt
Switching Off the isoCAL Function
in Precision Balances with a
Readability ≥ 1 mg Used as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
Automatic calibration and
adjustment is also performed
even when Off or Only
adjustment prompt is set
in the Setup menu.
Limited temperature range:
– Balances of accuracy
class k: +15°C to +25°C
(59°F to 77°F)
– Balances of accuracy
class K: +10°C to +30°C
(50°C to 86°C)
Extended temperature range:
– 0°C to +40°C (32°F to 104°F)
You can switch off the automatic
adjustment function on verified
balances with a readability ≥1
mg:
– after modification by the
Sartorius Customer Service
> Subsequently the balance
can only be used when
the ambient temperature range
is within legally defined limits.
$ The isoCAL function cannot be
switched off on balances with
a readability ≤0.1 mg
Fully automatic adjustment is initiated under the following conditions:
Model when the temperature after a time
changes by interval of
LA310S, LA230S, LA230P, LA120S,
LA3200D, LA1200S 1.5°C 4 h
LA620S, LA620P, LA6200S, 2°C 6 h
LA4200S, LA5200P, LA8200S, LA8200P
LA220S, LA2200S, LA2200P, LA34000P 4°C 12 h
LA820, LA420, LA16000S, 4°C 24 h
LA12000S, LA12000P, LA6200, LA4200,
LA2200, LA34
These values are also factory set in the verified or verifiable models
(with the model number suffix -0CE).
