6.0 CALIBRATION Calibration may be required when the scale is initially installed or moved to a new location. Over time and use, mechanical deviations may occur so it is recommended that you calibrate you scale regularly. Before calibrating your should make sure you have a suitable weight. The weights should be known to an accuracy that is appropriate for the balance being calibrated, for example, OIML Class M1 type or ASTM E617 Class 4. If you do not have proper weights do not att
