Receiving Scale

®

Leading the Way in Accuracy

This scale is engineered to give you years of satisfactory service 

if you handle it carefully. Here are a few precautions:

1. 

Always read instructions thoroughly to ensure that you have 

the full benefit of all the unit's features.

2. DO NOT

 immerse unit in water, as doing so will cause 

damage to internal components and void the warranty. If you 

spill liquid on it, dry it immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.

3. DO NOT

 clean the unit with an abrasive or corrosive 

material. This may scratch the plastic parts and corrode the 

electronic circuits.

4. DO NOT

 subject the units to excessive force, shock, dust, 

temperature or humidity. This may result in malfunction, 

shorter electronic life span, damaged battery and distorted parts.

5. DO NOT

 tamper with the unit's internal components. 

Doing so will invalidate the warranty on the units and may 

cause damage. The unit contains no user-serviceable parts.

7.

 Only use fresh batteries, as old batteries may leak and cause 

damage to the unit. Remove the batteries if the scale will not 

be used for a long period of time.

8. DO NOT

 dispose of batteries in fire. Disposing of this 

product in fire could cause batteries to explode or leak.

Max Load

TE150

TE400

           420 lb / 190.4 kg

POWER OFF

To turn the scale off, press the “OFF” button.

Occasionally the scale's accuracy should be verified by 
measuring a known weight of the scale's approximate capacity. 
Tare the scale by pressing ZERO, place the weight on the 
platform and note the reading. Calibrate the scale if necessary.

Calibration Procedure

You must use a CALIBRATED weight ONLY to properly 
recalibrate the scale. 

• 

For the TE150, use a 150 lb calibrated weight (or 60 kg if 

operating in kilos). 

• 

For the TE400, use a 400 lb calibrated weight (or 150 kg if 

operating in kilos).

1. 

While the scale is off, press and hold down the 

“TARE/HOLD” and “lb/kg” buttons. While holding down 
both these buttons, press the “ON” button to turn the scale 
on. When the display shows “8888” > “CAL”, the scale is in 
calibration mode.

2. 

Release the buttons. The display will show “CX” with a 

number (CX150 for the TE150; CX400 for the TE400). 
Next the display will show a number (the zero count) 
between 4700 and 6000. (Note: if operating the scale in 
kilograms, the scale will instead show “C60” for the TE150 
or “C150” for the TE400. If the zero count is outside the 
range, please contact customer service.)

3. 

Press the “TARE/HOLD” button. The display will show 

“XXX0”.

4.

 Place a calibrated weight on the scale platform. 

• 

For the TE150, use a 150lb (or 60 kg) calibrated weight. 

• 

For the TE400, use a 400 lb (or 150 kg) calibrated weight. 

The display will show a number between 1800 and 2300 (the 
span count). Note: the span count must be stable on the 
display before proceeding to step 5. If the span count is 
outside this range, please contact customer service

5.

 Press the “TARE/HOLD” button. The following will appear 

on the display:

• 

For the TE150, the display will show “C150”> “End”> 

“150.0” 

   (or “C60”> “End”> “60.0” if operating in kilograms). 

• 

For the TE400, the display will show “C400”> “End”> 

“400.0” 

   (or “C120”> “End”> “120.0” if operating in kilograms).

 

6. 

The calibration is complete. Remove the weight from the 

scale.
