SCALE CALIBRATION INSTRUCTIONS
Periodically your scale may require calibration to ensure proper weighing. You will
need a 10-pound weight to calibrate the scale. If calibration is performed with a
weight other than 10 pounds, it will cause your scale to weigh inaccurately. Scale
calibration is accomplished, when needed, by the following instructions:

1. Remove all weight from the scale
2. Press and hold the “ON/TARE” key and
press the “lb-oz/grams” key once . . . . . . . . . . . . . .“ . . .SLP0/SLP1”
3. Press the “ON/TARE” once to accept the
sleep mode setting and enter into calibration mode. . . .”4000 – 10000”
4. Press the “ON/TARE” key once
to zero the scale. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .“0”

7. Remove the weight from the scale, press the “ON/TARE” key to continue the
normal weighing mode.
* Note:
The “Err” displayed after completing calibration does not indicate a
calibration error. Since, the scale only weighs up-to 9 lbs. 15.5 oz., the ten
pounds on the scale causes the displayed message “Err

INTERFACING TO A PC
The Model 7010SB interfaces to several Mailing and Internet Postage Software
Programs. A driver is not available from Salter Brecknell, please contact the
software manufacturer for their 7010 or 7010SB scale driver.
Salter Brecknell does offer a Active X control for you to develop your own interface
driver. ActiveX allows programmers to assemble reusable software components into
application programs.
ActiveX components must be used is a (32-bit) ActiveX compliant development
environment such as Microsoft Visual Basic 5,0, Visual C ++, Office 97, Visual
FoxPro, Borland Delphi and others.
To download the ActiveX Component and other use tools to help you write and
interface to the 7010SB. Visit our web site at www.salterbrecknell.com
Salter Brecknell can only offer limited support to software developers.
