4.8. Weight Test
To ensure proper calibration and become familiar with the instrument, run a weight test.
This test simulates moisture loss by the removal of one of two known weights. Both a
three and a five-gram weight are required.

Ensure that a clean, dry, empty
sample pan is placed on the pan
support.

From the Main Test Screen, press
[MEMORY].

If the highlight bar is not already
there, highlight (Factory) WEIGHT
and press [START].

One of several prompts may appear
depending on the last measured
weight. Follow the instructions
given until the
“OPEN LID” “ADD
SAMPLE…” prompt appears on the
screen. Open the lid and carefully
place both the 5-gram and the 3-gram weights near the center of the sample pan.

Close the lid.

After the Main Test Screen is displayed, gently open the lid, carefully remove the
3-gram weight, and gently close the lid.

Wait for the end of the test.

If this is the first test of the day,
discard the results of this test for
stability reasons and perform the
test again.

Record the final test result. The
value should fall between
37.4800% and 37.5200%.

If the results are out of tolerance,
repeat the balance calibration and
weight test. If the result is still out of
tolerance, call AZI customer service
at 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414
for assistance.
