5-4 Magellan® 8100/8100Ω and 8200/8200Ω ScannerPreparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration1. Assure that the scanner/scale is stable, secure and properlyinstalled. (Refer to Section 2, Site Preparation and Installation forinstructions on the proper installation of the scanner/scale).2. Power-up the scanner/scale.3. Allow the unit to reach temperature equilibrium for at least onehour. If the scanner/scale is already at room temperature, allow atleast 15 minutes for acclimatization.4. Before performing the calibration, the scanner/scale must be pre-stressed with a weight of more than 30 pounds (15kg). Withpower turned on, place the entire weight set (including the case)on the weighing surface of the scale. The display should show anunderscore and three hyphens , which is the over-weight indication.5. Remove all weight from the weighing surface and ensure thatthere are no obstructions in the debris chutes of the scanner/scale.See Figure 5-1.Calibrating the Scale (Pounds & Kilograms)1. Before proceeding, ensure that the scanner/scale has been pre-pared for this process by performing the preceding steps titled,Preparing the Scanner/Scale for Calibration.2. Remove the weigh platter and make sure that there are noobstructions in the debris chutes.3. Cut and remove the seal that secures the calibration switch accesscover and remove the cover. This seal may not be present if this isthe initial installation of the scanner/scale.4. Locate the calibration switch (See Figure 5-1).5. Press and release the Calibration Switch to place the scanner/scalein Calibration Mode. The scanner/scale will sound a tone indicat-ing that it is in Calibration Mode. If the motor was spinningwhen you initiated Calibration Mode, the motor will stop andthe Yellow LED will begin flashing indicating the scale is in Cali-bration Mode. The display will show the message “ESCL” (emptyscale).
