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. If calibration was unsuccessful, the display will show ERR. Re-
move the calibration weight, then press UNIT. Repeat the proce-
dure to attempt for a correct calibration.

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

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 show ZER after blinking 
SCN for 10 seconds. The force gauge is now ready for zero point 
calibration. 

8. Press ZERO to zero calibrate. Wait approximately, 18 seconds.  
The display will change to show PEK after blinking SCN. Do not 
press any other switches or move the sensing shaft during cali-
bration.

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.
