Calibration is part of regular balance operation: to correct changes in temperature, humidity, air pressure, ete. The FR's internal software parameters can be set to disable calibration if desired (see section C5 "CAL cs", pages G-13, G-2). ‘The FR Mark II series balance features three ways to calibrate your balance: Q Automatic Self Calibration The balance will automatically calibrate using its internal calibration mass when agagag it senses a change in ambient temperature. The weighing unit will blink to notify you that the balance would like to calibrate and waits two minutes for you to remove any objects on the weighing pan (shown as $ in the display above). Q One-Touch Automatic Calibration Clear the weighing pan and press the key and the balance will calibrate using its internal calibration weight, you don't have to do anything else. Q Manual Calibration You may calibrate manually by using your own calibration mass in a simple on procedure. A The FR must be warmed up (plugged in) for at least 1 hour before starting calibration, During calibration, the weighing system must be kept stable for accurate adjustment. DRI Section ¢ page C+2 owner FRW 2a By setting a software parameter "CAL C” SELF CHECK AFTER CALIBRATION "CAL~C cs" (see pages G-13, G+2) the balance will check the calibration procedure's accuracy automatically.

This makes density determination a relatively simple matter. You may hang a light-weight weighing harness from this hole or thread a strand of fishing line through it. For best results re-calibrate the balance with the harness fitted. Place the balance on a weighing table with a hole cut in it or place it ona firm metal stand designed for underhook weighing. in either event take care to exclude drafts with a breeze break around the apparatus. You can find the relative density (specific gravity) of a metal or some other material from its loss in weight when weighed in water. Because one gram of water is almost exactly one cubic centimeter in volume, the loss in weight (floating weight through displacement) associated with weighing an object in water is in proportion to the object's volume. By dividing the object's weight in air by the loss in weight in water (volume), you can find the relative density of the abject (expressed as g/cm’). ok Weighing Example Vy After you have prepared the weighing mecha- nism: Press the ae key to cancel the mech- anisms’ weight.

(im) ACAI Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement The ACAI™ (Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement) function re-calculates the unit weight as more pieces are added, to improve count accuracy. ACAI Indicator When the balance calculates unit weight from sample pieces, the more sample pieces that are used, the higher the accuracy. For example: let's say that you use 10 pieces as your sample and the unit weight calculated by the balance from your sample is 1g. Using the ACAI feature, after loading on 200 pieces, the balance determines that the average unit weight is really 0.98q instead of 1g. This is improved accuracy and could make a big difference when you are counting thousands of pieces. You need to stay within the ACA counting range as you add more pieces. But this is easy to do and only needs to be done once, up to 500 pieces. Atter that, the ACAI remembers the most accurate unit weight It you set the unit weight digitally, by using the optional AD-1652 Remote Keyboard or by computer via the serial interface, the ACAI function will not operate. ji] ACAI Notes Q You must do the ACAI procedure just after you set the unit weight.

Q Continue the ACAI procedure to reach the largest amount that you will be counting (or 500 pieces). Q If you want the most precise counting results every time you count different batches of the same item, use ACAI every time you start counting the next batch (in other words, if you are counting to 100, start with approximately 10 pieces and then when you add, approximately double the amount until you get to 100).
