Calibration/Adjustment*
Available Features
Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when
– there is no load on the balance/scale,
– the balance/scale is tared,
– the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed (see “Accessories” for
calibration weights; for model GC503 see “Equipment Supplied”).
On Basic lite balances, calibration/adjustment can be performed with any of three weight
units: g, kg**, or lb (menu code 1. 4. x)
Factory setting: Grams (menu code 1. 4. 1)
Example
Calibrate the balance/scale
* = “Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the balance/scale readout
and the actual weight on the pan to determine the accuracy.
Adjustment means to bring a balance/scale into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”

Application Programs
Counting
Purpose
With the Counting program you can determine
the number of parts that each have approximately
equal weight.
Available Features
– Store the current weight value to have it loaded
as the preset reference sample quantity next time
you initialize the Counting application
– The reference sample quantity can be changed
in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– The average piece weight is automatically
output via the optional data interface port after ini-
tialization, if the menu code for “Printout
with data ID codes” is set
– Press v to toggle the display between piece count
and weight
Factory Settings
Reference sample quantity: 10 (menu code 3. 3. 2)

Weighing in Percent
Purpose
This application program allows you to obtain
weight readouts in percent which are in proportion
to a reference weight.
Available Features
– Store the current weight value to have it loaded
as the preset reference percentage next time you ini-
tialize the Weighing in Percent application
– The reference percentage can be changed
in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– The reference percentage is automatically
output via the optional data interface port after ini-
tialization, if the menu code for “Printout
with data ID codes” is set
– Press v to toggle the display between
percentage and weight
Factory Settings
Reference percentage: 10 (menu code 3. 3. 2)
Preparation
§ Configure the Weighing in Percent application
in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
Menu code 2. 1. 5 Weighing in percent
§ Reference percentage:
Menu code 3. 3. 1 5%
Menu code 3. 3. 2 10 %

Weigh Averaging
Purpose
Use this program to determine weights under
unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the
balance/scale calculates the weight as the average
value from a defined number of individual weighing
operations. These weighing operations are also
known as “subweighing operations” or “subweighs.”
Available Features
– The measured result displayed is the arithmetic
mean shown in the selected weight unit;
a triangle indicates that this is a calculated value
– You can set the number of subweighing
operations performed in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– Press v for at least 2 sec. to display
the preset number of subweighing operations
– Press v to toggle the display between
the calculated result and the weight
Factory Settings
Number of subweighs for averaging: 10 (3. 3. 2)
Preparation
§ Configure the Weigh Averaging application
in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
Menu code 2. 1.12 Averaging

Care and Maintenance
Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will
extend the service life of your balance/scale and
ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius
can offer you service contracts, with your choice of
regular maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month
to 2 years. The frequency of the maintenance inter-
vals depends on the user’s operating conditions and
the tolerance limits.
Repairs
Repair work must be performed by trained service
technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons
to perform repairs may lead to hazards for the user.
Cleaning
!Disconnect the balance/scale from the AC adapter
and unplug any interface cables that are connected
to the balance/scale
