INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

make the scale level. The scale is now ready to be
turned on and used.
CONTROL PANEL 5 BUTTON ID
& EXPLANATION
1. POWER - Push this button once to turn the scale
on. While in the gram mode, the blue backlit
display will then show 0.0g after it stabilizes.
2. TARE - Push this button once to bring the scales
display back to 0.0g while in the gram mode
(this feature may be used in any mode). When
using a weighing tray or other type of scoop
or container, simply place the tray, etc. on the
weighing platform and then push the TARE (zero)
button once to automatically subtract the weight
of whatever was on the weighing platform while
maintaining the subtracted weight in its memory.
The display will then show 0.0g. If you then take
the tray off of the weighing platform, from its
memory the display will show a negative weight
equal to the weight of the tray or whatever was on

GEMORO PLATINUM PRO1001V 4
the weighing platform. After placing the tray back
on the weighing platform, you may then place the
item that you wish to weigh directly into the tray
and weigh it independently. When you no longer
wish to use the tray, you may press the TARE
button once again to bring the display back to
0.0g or press the POWER button once to turn the
scale off since both of these steps will subtract the
weight from its memory.
3. CAL – Push this button to initiate the scale’s
calibration process. To calibrate the scale, please
refer to the CALIBRATION PROCEDURE section
noted below.
4. PCS – Push this button to initiate the scale’s parts
counting feature. Please refer to the COUNTING
FEATURE (PCS) section noted below
5. MODE – Push this button to scroll through the
scale’s weighing modes. Simply press the button
once to scroll though each weighing mode until
you find the desired unit of measure.

• CAUTION: Use only the UL Listed GemOro 6V
AC adaptor Item #9746. This universal adaptor is
designed to specifically work with the PRO1001V
balance. The unique feature of the PRO1001V
adaptor is that it allows the adaptor to automatically
sense as well as adjust to the various voltage
requirements allowing for use worldwide from the
USA to Europe and beyond! Use of another type of
adaptor may permanently damage the scale, cause
a fire and void the warranty.

• Insert the female plug from the AC adaptor into the
scales male receptacle located on the right of the
scale and then plug the AC adaptors prongs into
the desired electrical wall outlet.
Battery Operation
• When removing the battery cover, be certain not to
apply excessive force or pressure onto the weighing
platform or damage may occur to the scales load
cell and void the warranty. To install new batteries,
remove the battery cover on the bottom of the
scale with caution as indicated above and place the
4 – AA alkaline batteries into the compartment as
indicated.
• Insert the battery cover back onto the battery
compartment when finished.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Once calibrated, the PRO1001V should maintain its
calibration unless moved, bumped or the weighing
environment has changed. For best results, it is
advisable to check the calibration at regular intervals
by placing a known mass (weight) or the optional
(2) 200g calibration weights on the scale’s weighing
platform. If calibration is required, please carefully
follow these steps:

7INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CAUTION: Never attempt to calibrate the PRO1001V
unless you first have the required (2) 200g calibration
weights (sold separately Item #9747-1) with the scale.
1. Press the POWER button to turn the PRO1001V
on. Allow the scale to warm up and stabilize for
approximately two minutes before commencing
with the calibration procedure.
2. Remove all items from the weighing platform and
press the tare button to zero the display.
3. After observing a stable 0.0g while in the (g) gram
mode, press the CAL button and “CAL” will appear
on the display.
4. Press the CAL button again. “CAL” will begin
flashing and then after a few seconds “400.0g” will
begin flashing on the display.
5. Gently place the (2) 200g calibration weights on
the center of the stainless steel weighing platform.
Wait approximately 4 seconds as the unit performs
internal calibration. IMPORTANT- Do not disturb
the PRO1001V during this time as it may impact
the accuracy of the calibration.
6. The display will then show “PASS” which
indicates that the calibration procedure has been
successful. If “Err” appears on the display instead
of “PASS”, this indicates that an error has occurred

in the calibration procedure and the calibration
procedure should be repeated.
PARTS COUNTING (PCS) FEATURE
The parts counting PCS feature within your scale
can be really handy if you are in need of counting
a large number of small items (example: findings,
silver beads, gold chains, etc.) very quickly and
accurately. By weighing a minimum sample of 25
pieces (the larger the sample used the greater the
accuracy of the per piece count), the scale will
determine the average weight of each piece and use
that as its reference. Once the reference sample
weight has been determined, you may place an
unknown quantity of the item on the scale and it will
automatically count the exact number of pieces.
1. To set your PRO1001V to the parts counting mode,
once the scale has been turned on and stabilized,
place the desired parts quantity onto the weighing
platform (25, 50, 75 or 100 pcs).
2. Press and hold the PCS button for 2 to 3 seconds.
The screen will begin to flash a quantity (25, 50,
75 or 100). To select a specific quantity, press the
MODE button and continue to press the button
repeatedly while scrolling through the various units

9INSTRUCTION MANUAL
of measure until the display reads your desired
parts quantity.
3. Press the PCS button once more as soon as
the desired quantity is found. The display will
then read “pcs” in the upper left hand corner of
the display to indicate that the PCS function is
enabled.
4. You may switch between your PCS mode and
regular weighing by pressing the “MODE” button.
Your scale will continue to retain the last “PCS”
setting made until you run the above process
again.
5. In many cases (when counting very small or round
parts, etc.) it is more practical to use a weighing
tray (scoop or container) to hold the parts you
wish to count and the PRO1001V can easily
accommodate this. Once the scale is on and
stabilized, place the desired tray on the weighing
platform and press the TARE button to zero the
weight of the tray from its display. Then press the
PCS button as usual per the above instructions
and the scale will then begin its counting feature
while using the tray as needed.
