7. CALIBRATION
7-1 Calibration Group
The GP series balance has the following modes as a calibration group.
Calibration
Automatic self calibration (calibration due to changes in temperature)
Calibration using the internal mass (one-touch calibration)
Calibration using an external weight
Calibration test
Calibration test using an external weight (Calibration test does not
perform calibration.)
Correction of the internal mass value
Terms
The following terms are defined as follows:
Internal mass
Internal mass
= Built-in calibration weight
External weight = A weight that you have. Referred to as a calibration weight when used for calibration.
Calibration weight = A weight used for calibration
Target weight
Calibration weight = A weight used for calibration
Target weight
= An external weight used for calibration test
Caution
Calibration adjusts the balance for accurate weighing.
Besides periodic calibration and before each use, perform calibration when:
• the balance is installed for the first time.
• the balance has been moved.
• the ambient environment has changed.
• the balance is installed for the first time.
• the balance has been moved.
• the ambient environment has changed.
Do not allow vibration or drafts to affect the balance during calibration.

Caution on using an external weight
The accuracy of an external weight will influence the accuracy of weighing. Select an
appropriate weight as listed below:
