TROUBLESHOOTING

The following are general checkpoints. Please call Shimpo or your 
dealer for further assistance. 

Force Gauges does not turn on: Check that power adapter is con-
nected properly to unit and outlet.

Error codes are displayed: Turn unit off, then back on to reset. If 
error codes continue, see table below

CALIBRATION REqUIREMENTS

1. Secure and mount force gauge to a calibration stand and mount 
the gauge upside down.

2.  Obtain the appropriate full scale Metric range calibration weight 
of your unit.

3. Turn POWER OFF

4. Attach the fixture on the shaft of the force gauge. Thread and 
tighten onto shaft by hand only. 

5. Press and hold the UNIT, PEAK and ZERO switches.

6.  Press  and  release  the  POWER  switch  while  still  holding  the 
other 3 switches. Continue holding the 3 switches until the display 
reads CAL, now release the three switches.

7.  Press the UNIT switch. The display will blink SCN for 10 sec-
onds then show ZER. The force gauge is now ready for zero point 
calibration. 

8.  Press ZERO to zero calibrate.  Wait approximately 18 seconds. 
The  display  will  blink  SCN  then  PEK.  Do  not  press  any  other 
switches or move the sensing shaft during calibration.

9. Hang the calibration weight on the hook and stabilize. The pro-
cess  values  will  change.  The  gauge  is  now  ready  for  full-scale 
calibration.

10.  Press the PEAK switch to begin full scale calibration.  Display 
blinks  SCN.  Do  not  press  any  keys  or  touch  the  unit  or  weight 
during  calibration.  After  approximately  18  seconds,  the  display 
blinks END.  After an additional 5 seconds, the display blinks OK 
if successful.

11. Press the UNIT button, the unit automatically powers off.
