Scale Factor adjustment
After you have calibrated your meter, you can use the SCALE feature to make fine adjust-
ments to calibration, without affecting the calibration itself.
Examples
1.Changing weight units of measure from kg to pounds
You could also use the SCALE to convert your readout from kg to pounds, without affecting
the calibration. Simply set SCALE = 2.205 and your meter which was calibrated in kg will
now read in pounds.
2. Correcting for gravitational variance
Your weighing system was calibrated where gravitational acceleration = 9.812m/s 2 (Lon-
don) You then move the system to Bankok where gravitational acceleration is reduced to
9.782m/s
2
You can correct for this difference by setting Scale = 9.812 / 9.782 = 1.003, so that a given
mass in Bangkok will show the same weight as it did in London. Set Offset = 0.0000
