Cubis® MCA Operating Instructions 61
Operation
8.9 Overview of Calibration, Adjustment, and Linearization
During calibration, a calibration weight is used to determine how much the
displayed value deviates from the actual value. This deviation is compared against
a preset target value. The subsequent adjustment eliminates this deviation. During
linearization, the deviation of the values from the ideal characteristic curve is
corrected.
Calibration and adjustment must be performed regularly:
− 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
Calibration and adjustment may be performed in different ways:
− Adjusting with the isoCAL Function
− Internal or external calibration or adjustment
− For semi-microbalances and analytical balances: Internal linearization
Only internal adjustment is possible for all conformity-assessed devices in legal
metrology.
8.10 Adjusting with the isoCAL Function
The device can be automatically internally calibrated and adjusted using the isoCAL
function.
Requirements
− The device is not located in the menu.
− Alphanumeric inputs are not active.
− The load on the scales 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.
If all requirements for starting the isoCAL function are met and one of the following
conditions occurs: The isoCAL function is automatically triggered.
Possible conditions are:
− The ambient temperature has changed since the last adjustment.
− The interval time was exceeded (interval time, see Chapter “15.9 isoCAL
Function”, page 85).
− The device has been leveled.
− The device has been disconnected from the power supply since the last
adjustment (only for conformity-assessed models).
Procedure
t If the isoCAL automatic start function is set and the [isoCAL] button is displayed
as the predominant button in the operating display:
t Wait until the isoCAL function starts automatically.
y In the operating display, a time display counts down to 0.
y If no load change or no operation takes place on the device before the
expiration of the time display: The isoCAL function starts.
62 Cubis® MCA Operating Instructions
Operation
