CALIBRATION
This scale has been factory calibrated, and does not require calibration prior to use.
If
required, the scale can be calibrated. Calibration of your scale is performed using kilograms
(KG) or pounds (LB), according to the unit of measure used upon entering into the calibration
path. When calibrating in pounds, a total of 500 lbs is required (or 300 lbs for newer models),
applied in increments of 100 lb, 200 lb, 300 lb and 500 lb. If calibrating in kilograms, a total of
200 kg are required (or 120 kg for new models), applied in increments of 40 kg, 80 kg, 120 kg
and 200 kg.
Note: Only weights certified and traceable to national standards are to be used for
calibration procedures.
*For scales with date codes higher than 2217, only 300 lb (120kg) of weights are required
for calibration. Refer to the white label on the back of the display head to determine your
scale’s date code.
Example: Date Code 4217, calibration procedure is complete after 300 lb (120 kg).

“C-80” then “0”
Place an additional 100 lbs or 40 kg on the scale, for a total of 200 lbs or
80 kg. Five numeric numbers will appear. When calibration numbers
stabilize, press the
ZERO
button. “C-300” (for LB mode) or “C-120” (for KG
mode) will appear on the display, followed by “0”.

*For models with date codes higher than
2517 the calibration procedure is now complete and “END” will appear on
the display.
For models with date codes lower than 2517, “C-500” (for LB
mode) or “C-200” (for KG mode) will appear on the display, followed by “0”.
“XXXXX” followed
by “C-500” or
“C-200” then “0”
(or “END” for models
with date codes
higher than 2517)
