8.3. Linearity
1) In the sensitivity calibration menu, set "E.CAL," and use the external weight to perform "E CAL" one time.
2) Place weights in the order shown in Table 1, and record the display value when it stabilizes.
3) Calculate the error at each load.
(Error) = (Display value at each load) - (Average of zero point display values) - (Weight certified value)
4) If the errors are minor, follow "5.5 Linearity Adjustment."
* This adjustment is only effective for minor errors (within ±10 counts).
If the error is larger, replace the unit ASSY (1).
