If  the  calibration  was  not  successful,  one  of  the  error  messages  below  will  appear.  Take  the 
indicated action to correct the problem, and then perform a new calibration. 

"Err0" - The calibration test weight or the keyed-in weight is larger than the full capacity of the 
scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data. 

"Err1" - The calibration test weight or the keyed-in weight is smaller than 1% of the full capacity 
of the scale. Change the calibration test weight or check the input data. 

"Err2" – There is not enough signal from the load cells to establish a proper calibration. Most 
commons  causes  include  incorrect  load  cell  wiring,  a  mechanical  obstruction  or  a  faulty  load 
cell.  

VIEW CALIBRATION VALUES (F18)  

Note: The values displayed in this procedure are valid only after a successful calibration has been 

performed using F16 and F17. 

1.  While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 18", then scroll down once using the ZERO key to enter 

View calibration menu. 

2.  The display will show the information listed in Table 2. The code will display briefly followed by 

the value. It is recommended that you record each value in the table below. Press any key to 
continue down the list. At the completion of the list, the indicator reverts back up to F18.  

ZERO CALIBRATION VALUE (C0) 

SPAN CALIBRATION VALUE (C1) 

  

Table 2: Calibration Value Table  

KEY-IN ZERO CALIBRATION VALUE (F19)  

Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. 

A  valid  zero  calibration  value,  obtained  from  a  successful  F16  calibration  procedure,  must 
be used. 

1.  While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 19", and then scroll down once using the ZERO key. The 

display will momentarily show " CAL 0", followed by a value of zero 

2.  Use the four directional keys to enter in the actual zero calibration value. 

3.  After  entering  the  exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value. The display will 

show " E CAL 0" momentarily, and then revert back up to F19.  

 

KEY-IN SPAN CALIBRATION VALUE (F20)  

Note: This procedure is intended for emergency use only in the case of non-volatile memory loss. 

Valid span calibration values, obtained from a successful F17 calibration procedure, must be 
used. 

1.  While in the Setup mode, scroll to "F 20", and then scroll down once using the ZERO key. The 

display will momentarily show "CAL 1", followed by a flashing zero. 

2.  Use the four directional keys to enter in the actual span calibration value  

3.  After setting the exact value, press the NET/GROSS key to save the value. 

4.  If  the  entered  values  are  entered  successfully,  the  display  will  show  "E  CAL  1"  momentarily 

before reverting back up to F20.
