MICRO-DISPENSE SCALE 

Item # 1174337 
 

PLEASE READ COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS 
BEFORE USE 

Please read all operating instructions carefully. You can 
contact us at 

www.loctite.com

 
* Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. The 
scale works best when operated at room temperature. 

If the scale has been subjected to temperature 
change, please allow the scale to acclimate to 
normal room temperature for at least one hour 
before use.

 

 
* Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale On and 
wait several seconds to give the internal components a 
chance to stabilize before weighing. 
 
* The cleaner the environment the better. Dust, dirt, 
moisture, vibration, air currents and proximity to other 
electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on 
the reliability and accuracy of your scale. 
 
* Handle with care. Do not dispense directly onto scale. 
Gently apply items to be weighed to a sacrificial tray  
(tin foil) or a small cup. Although the scale is designed 
to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this 
may permanently damage the internal sensor and void 
your warranty. 
 
* Avoid shaking, dropping, or otherwise shocking the 
scale. This is a precision instrument and MUST BE 
HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE. 
 

Important Advice: Place the item to be weighed on 

the platform, close scale cover, after the stable 
weigh is displayed remove the item immediately. 
This will prolong the longevity and accuracy of this 
weighing instrument.

 

 
* These electronic scales are precision instruments. Do 
not operate near an in-use cell phone, cordless phone, 
radio, computer or other electronic device. These 
devices emit RF and can cause unstable scale 
readings. If your scale ever performs poorly, try moving 
the scale to a different room or location. This is a very 
precise scale – the display may seem to wander or 
jump when weighing. This is due to air currents or 
vibration. Stable weighing is achieved when the display 
remains fixed for 3 seconds. 
 

OPERATION

___________________________ 

   
Battery Operation: 
1) Three “AAA” size ALKALINE batteries are required. 
2) To install the batteries: 
       a) Release the battery cover by sliding outwards. 
        b) Place batteries into battery compartment aligned 
correctly. 
        C)  Replace  battery  cover. 

DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE & DO NOT 
PRESS ON THE TRAY!!!! 

3) The scale is now ready for battery operation.  
 

(Advanced users only) CALIBRATION 

IMPORTANT: This scale was professionally factory 
calibrated before shipment and does NOT need to be 
calibrated by the end user. However if you wish to 
recalibrate your scale we provide these instructions for 
correct calibration. Incorrect calibration can occur if you 

do not follow the steps exactly. If your scale does not 
perform accurately, please try replacing the batteries 
before you calibrate. 
You will need a 20 gram weight to calibrate this scale 
(included). 

Note

: if you have lost the calibrated weight 

and you do not have access to a calibrated weight, you 
can purchase one at a local store. In emergency 
situations you can use coins (ie 2 US Nickels = 10 
grams) as a calibration weight. 
 
1) Place the scale on a Flat, very stable surface and 
turn it OFF. 
2) Press and hold [UNIT] first, the Press [ON/OFF], 
(don’t release the unit button until the display shows the 
random AD value). 
3) Wait 2 seconds, Press [UNIT]. The display will show 
“OSAVE”, after 2 seconds, the display will show the 
calibration weight amount. 
4) Place the correct calibration weight on the platform, 
then press [UNIT], the display will show “OSAVE” and 
return to AD value. 
5) Calibration is complete. Remove the weight and turn 
the scale OFF. 
 
Note: If after calibration your scale does not read 
accurately, this indicates calibration error and the 
calibration process should be repeated slower. 
Please calibrate on a very stable surface 

 
INACCURACY / ERROR

_______________________ 

 
The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are 
low batteries, incorrect calibration, overload or 
operating on an unstable surface. Please keep this in 
mind and maintain and operate your scale properly. 
The scale is a precise instrument and must be handled 
with the utmost care and caution. 
 
 

FEATURE

____________________________________ 

 

Power-Up Segment Test

: When first turning the unit 

on, all segments of the display will appear. The display 
will remain for approximately 2 seconds and then reset 
to 0. 
 

Overload

: When an applied load exceeds the 

capacity, “EEEE” will appear on the display. Remove 
the excessive load immediately! Although the scale 
uses proprietary overload protection technology, it is 
still possible to damage the weighing sensor by 
overload. 

 
Remember: You can permanently damage the scale by 
overloading it! 
 

TROUBLESHOOTING & OPERATION NOTES: 

 
1) If the display ever becomes locked on EEEE, this 
indicates that the scale was shocked, dropped or 
otherwise damaged and the delicate weighing sensors 
have been damaged. You can try recalibrating the scale 
(if the sensor has not been hurt too badly, it will work 
again after calibration). Otherwise you will have to 
follow the warranty instructions that came with your 
scale. 
 
2) If the display shows “Lo-b” this often indicates low 
batteries. If new batteries do not fix this error, the scale 
will have to be sent to us for replacement under our 1 
year warranty program.
