2.3 Selecting the Location
2.3.1 Balance Location
The balance should always be used in an environment which is
free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and
temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will affect
displayed weight readings.
DO NOT install the balance:
Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid
temperature changes.
Near air conditioning or heat vents.
Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
Near magnetic fields or equipment that generates magnetic
fields.
On an unlevel work surface.
Allow sufficient space around the instrument for ease of
operation and keep away from radiating heat sources.
2.3.2 Leveling the Balance
Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are
prerequisites for repeatable results. To compensate for small
irregularities or inclinations at the location, the instrument can
be leveled.
For exact horizontal positioning, the balance is equipped with a
level indicator located at the front on the control panel and two
leveling feet located at the rear of the balance.
Position the balance in the intended operating location. Adjust
the leveling feet at the rear of the balance until the air bubble in
the indicator is centered.
NOTE: The instrument should be leveled each time its location is
changed.

On Explorer Pro balances equipped with internal calibration,
calibration is accomplished using the internal calibration mass.
Internal calibration can be performed at any time providing the
balance has warmed up to operating temperature and is level.
AutoCal: On, Off (default is On)
Explorer Pro balances equipped with internal calibration also
contain AutoCal. When AutoCal is set ON, the balance performs
a self calibration when a measured predefined delta temperature
change occurs. After calibration, the display returns to the last
application mode. Environmental conditions must be met for the
AutoCal to be successfully completed.
AutoCal Delta: -100 - +100 (default is 0)
Explorer Pro balances equipped with internal calibration also
contain AutoCal Delta. AutoCal Delta allows the internal calibration
mass value to be adjusted. This permits calibrating the balance
using an external mass which is traceable to a certified standard.
Perform the internal calibration procedure. After the calibration is
completed, zero the balance.
Place a certified mass equal to the span calibration value of the
balance.
IMPORTANT !
DO NOT DISTURB THE BALANCE
DURING CALIBRATION.

Linearity Calibration:
Linearity calibration utilizes three calibration points, one at zero
load and two at specified calibration masses. This method
minimizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within
the balance's weighing range. After calibration, the display returns
to the last application mode.
User Calibration:
User calibration is used when it is desired to calibrate the balance
using a user defined mass. The user defined mass value has to
be entered in the User Cal Weight. After calibration, the display
returns to the last application mode.
User Calibration Weight: 25%-100% of capacity (default is Span)
Defines the mass value for User calaibration. The user calibration
may now be done with the mass selected.
Cal Test:
Calibration test feature allows a check of a known calibration
mass against the last stored calibration information in the balance.
The display indicates the difference in weight between calibration
mass placed on the pan and the previous weight value which
was stored in the balance. After Cal Test, the display returns to to
the last application mode.
3.5.2 Balance Options
Press the Menu button, and select Balance Options.
Press the Enter button. The BALANCE OPTIONS screen is
displayed.
Recalibrate using internal calibration. After calibration, place the
certified mass on the pan and see if the mass agrees with the
displayed value. If not, repeat procedure until internal calibration
reading agrees with the certified mass.
Span Calibration:
Span calibration utilizes two calibration points, one at zero load
and the other at specified full span. See following table.
Compare the reading on the balance to the expected weight being
used. If the reading is above the expected weight, the delta entered
in digits is negative. If the reading is below the expected weight,
the delta entered in digits is positive.
See following example:
Actual Weight Reading: 200.0014
Expected Weight Reading: 200.0000
Delta Weight (d): 0.0014
Delta weight in Digits: -14

It is recommended that masses must meet or exceed ASTM
Class 1 Tolerance. Calibration masses are available as
accessories.
Additional calibration values to be used are shown on the display
screen. The best accuracy is achieved using the mass closest
to the full span value. After calibration, the display returns to the
last application mode.
