CALIBRATION
When and How to Calibrate the Scale
Calibration may be required when it is initially installed, if the scale is moved to a
substantial distance.
This is necessary because the weight of a mass in one location is not necessarily the
same in another location. Also, with time and use, mechanical deviations may
occur.
How to calibrate
Press and hold the [MODE] key, then press and hold [ON/OFF] key. The display
will then show [CAL] then show five digits.
Press [MODE] and the display will then flash [500g].
Place the calibrating weight on to the pan. Wait for the stable indicator to display,
then press [MODE]. The display will show ‘-----‘ and then return to showing five
numbers. Calibration is complete.
Press [ON/OFF] to turn the power off, Press [ON/OFF ] to turn the power on
again, Place the full weight (500g) on the pan to check calibration. If it is not
correct, repeat the calibration procedure.
