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

t If the isoCAL manual start function is set and the [isoCAL] button is displayed as
