4.7. Calibrate the Balance - 50 gram weight
NOTE: The MAX 5000XL must be powered on until the balance temperature
stability icon in the lower left corner of the main screen changes from unstable
to stable to allow the balance to stabilize before beginning the balance
calibration. (See section 6.1 Balance Temperature Stability on page 64 for more
information). The unit should not be moved, jarred, or otherwise disturbed in any
way during the calibration period. A vibration-free table will aid the calibration
process. If vibration is excessive, the instrument will stop the calibration process

during the calibration and that a 50-gram calibration weight must be available.

“PLACE CLEAN PAN ON PAN
SUPPORT” prompt will appear.
If the lid is open, the “PLACE CLEAN
PAN ON PAN SUPPORT CLOSE LID”
prompt will appear.
