3.7.1
Calibration
Note: Calibration is not available when the scale has been set to Legal for Trade operation (LFT set to
ON in the Setup sub-menu, refer to Section 3.7.2).
Calibration Types – Calibration can be adjusted in two ways, Span and Linearity. Span calibration
uses two calibration points to adjust the sensitivity of the scale. Linearity calibration uses three
calibration points to correct for non-linear weighing results.
Calibration Weights – Before beginning calibration, make sure that the required calibration weights are
available. The model-specific calibration points are listed in the table below.
Model
V51P3 / V51PH3
V51P6 / V51PH6
V51P15 / V51PH15
V51P30 / V51PH30
Notes:
1. Default calibration points are shown in bold print.
2. Calibration Units kg or lb are selected in the Setup sub-menu (Section 3.7.2.)
