MICRO-DISPENSE SCALE
Item # 1174337
PLEASE READ COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE
Please read all operating instructions carefully. You can
contact us at
* Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. The
scale works best when operated at room temperature.
If the scale has been subjected to temperature
change, please allow the scale to acclimate to
normal room temperature for at least one hour
before use.
* Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale On and
wait several seconds to give the internal components a
chance to stabilize before weighing.
* The cleaner the environment the better. Dust, dirt,
moisture, vibration, air currents and proximity to other
electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on
the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
* Handle with care. Do not dispense directly onto scale.
Gently apply items to be weighed to a sacrificial tray
(tin foil) or a small cup. Although the scale is designed
to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this
may permanently damage the internal sensor and void
your warranty.
* Avoid shaking, dropping, or otherwise shocking the
scale. This is a precision instrument and MUST BE
HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.
*
Important Advice: Place the item to be weighed on
the platform, close scale cover, after the stable
weigh is displayed remove the item immediately.
This will prolong the longevity and accuracy of this
weighing instrument.
* These electronic scales are precision instruments. Do
not operate near an in-use cell phone, cordless phone,
radio, computer or other electronic device. These
devices emit RF and can cause unstable scale
readings. If your scale ever performs poorly, try moving
the scale to a different room or location. This is a very
precise scale – the display may seem to wander or
jump when weighing. This is due to air currents or
vibration. Stable weighing is achieved when the display
remains fixed for 3 seconds.
OPERATION
___________________________
Battery Operation:
1) Three “AAA” size ALKALINE batteries are required.
2) To install the batteries:
a) Release the battery cover by sliding outwards.
b) Place batteries into battery compartment aligned
correctly.
C) Replace battery cover.
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE & DO NOT
PRESS ON THE TRAY!!!!
3) The scale is now ready for battery operation.
(Advanced users only) CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT: This scale was professionally factory
calibrated before shipment and does NOT need to be
calibrated by the end user. However if you wish to
recalibrate your scale we provide these instructions for
correct calibration. Incorrect calibration can occur if you
do not follow the steps exactly. If your scale does not
perform accurately, please try replacing the batteries
before you calibrate.
You will need a 20 gram weight to calibrate this scale
(included).
Note
: if you have lost the calibrated weight
and you do not have access to a calibrated weight, you
can purchase one at a local store. In emergency
situations you can use coins (ie 2 US Nickels = 10
grams) as a calibration weight.
1) Place the scale on a Flat, very stable surface and
turn it OFF.
2) Press and hold [UNIT] first, the Press [ON/OFF],
(don’t release the unit button until the display shows the
random AD value).
3) Wait 2 seconds, Press [UNIT]. The display will show
“OSAVE”, after 2 seconds, the display will show the
calibration weight amount.
4) Place the correct calibration weight on the platform,
then press [UNIT], the display will show “OSAVE” and
return to AD value.
5) Calibration is complete. Remove the weight and turn
the scale OFF.
Note: If after calibration your scale does not read
accurately, this indicates calibration error and the
calibration process should be repeated slower.
Please calibrate on a very stable surface
INACCURACY / ERROR
_______________________
The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are
low batteries, incorrect calibration, overload or
operating on an unstable surface. Please keep this in
mind and maintain and operate your scale properly.
The scale is a precise instrument and must be handled
with the utmost care and caution.
FEATURE
____________________________________
*
Power-Up Segment Test
: When first turning the unit
on, all segments of the display will appear. The display
will remain for approximately 2 seconds and then reset
to 0.
*
Overload
: When an applied load exceeds the
capacity, “EEEE” will appear on the display. Remove
the excessive load immediately! Although the scale
uses proprietary overload protection technology, it is
still possible to damage the weighing sensor by
overload.
Remember: You can permanently damage the scale by
overloading it!
TROUBLESHOOTING & OPERATION NOTES:
1) If the display ever becomes locked on EEEE, this
indicates that the scale was shocked, dropped or
otherwise damaged and the delicate weighing sensors
have been damaged. You can try recalibrating the scale
(if the sensor has not been hurt too badly, it will work
again after calibration). Otherwise you will have to
follow the warranty instructions that came with your
scale.
2) If the display shows “Lo-b” this often indicates low
batteries. If new batteries do not fix this error, the scale
will have to be sent to us for replacement under our 1
year warranty program.
