12.0 CALIBRATION
12.1 WBW-M APPROVED SCALES, CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised access to the circuit boards 
and load cell. 
 
One method calibration of the WBW-M scale is accomplished by breaking the 
security seals to gain access to the circuit boards inside. See the figures on 
the security seal as given below. 
WARNING: BREAKING OF THE SEALS MAY MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO USE 
THE SCALES FOR SALES OF GOODS. CONTACT YOUR TRADING 
STANDARDS OFFICE FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. 
12.2 SECURITY SEALS
Method of sealing
Alternative method
 
 
The scale has got metallic loops on the base 
and the cover, located at the right rear corner 
as shown here. A metal pin or wire can be 
passed through the loops and sealed using a 
lead-wire seal. Ensure the seal is secured 
enough to prevent removing the cover 
without breaking the seal or damaging the 
enclosure. 
 
 
 
An alternative method would be to use 
tamper-evident labels over the screw on the 
bottom cover and over the joint between the 
top and the bottom cover as shown in the 
adjacent figure. 
 
 
 
Metrology labels and additional security 
measures may be added to the scale as 
required by the national legislation. 
 
NOTE: IF THIS SEAL IS BROKEN THE SCALE MUST BE RE-SEALED BY 
THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES USING EITHER THE LEAD WIRE SEAL 
OR AN ACCEPTABLE SEAL BETWEEN THE COVER AND THE BASE.
