SCALE OPERATOR MANUALS
We are sometimes
asked do you need a calibration weight to put on a scale and sometimes
you might be able to get away without a weight but generally it is
highly recommended that you use real certified test weights for scale
calibration. Not just any weights, they ideally need to be certified
weights or weight kits. The weighing scale calibration procedure is
roughly the same for most average size scales.
For the most part
you should call in the professionals when it comes time to cal a scale.
The pro's have the experience and the right equipment. From time to
time we get asked for operator manuals or user guides for scales.
Most of the time the scale calibration procedures are listed in those
manuals, however sometimes they are not.
We are sometimes
asked how to check scale calibration or how often to do scale calibration
and the answers can vary depending on your situation. For most scales
it is a good idea to have them checked at least a couple times a year.
Depending on how important scales are in your business, you might
want to have our factory trained technicians check them every month
or every quarter.
SCALE CALIBRATION
PROCEDURE
One of the tremendous advantages that our scale repair and service
provides you is factory training and certified scale calibration weights
and weight kits. When we check your equipment it is checked with accurate
weights and the accuracy is written down on our scale calibration
report and we place labels on your devices which shows the date they
were checked and the due date for the next service.
