4 Calibration

You should perform three point calibration. This will give the most accurate weighing
results. You will need two test weights for this procedure:

Calibration point P0 = no wieght on the scale

Calibration point P1 = a test weight that is 12.5%-100% of full capacity

Calibration point P2 = a test weight that is 25%-100% of full capacity

If you do not have two certified test weights, you can use one weight. It must be more
than 25% of full capacity. Instructions for both procedures are below.

4.1 Calibration Steps

Follow these instructions for two or three point calibration of your scale:

1.

From the key press (TARE) in step two. . .

Unit. x is displayed. Use this to set the default unit of measure on power
up and the calibration weight unit of measure. If x = 1, lbs is the unit of
measure. If x = 0, kg is the unit of measure.

4.

Toggle between the two choices by pressing the UNITS key. Press TARE to
accept the displayed value. . .

The current display divisions value is displayed. Choices are: 500,

600, 750, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000, 2400, 2500, 3000, 3500,

25000, 30000, 35000, 40000, 50000, 60000, 70000, 75000, 80000

NOTE: To exit the calibration mode any time during these steps, press the ON/OFF
key. This ignores any new settings and returns the scale to normal weighing mode.for
calibration.
