Calibration
Your ESW Series scale is ready to use right out of the box. There is no need to calibrate the
scale unless you feel that the scale has become inaccurate. It is a good idea to check the cali-
bration of your scale from time to time with a precision test weight. Transcell recommends that
you perform a new calibration on your digital scale at least once a year. The ESW must be cali-
brated with a precision test weight equal to the capacity of the scale. See Page 2 for the product
matrix list.
To calibrate the scale:
1. Remove all items from the platter and turn the scale OFF. Press and hold the
SAMPLE
key
while turning the scale back ON.
2. The scale shows “CAL” briefly then “ZERO”.
3. Press the
ZERO
key. The scale then shows “ADD”.
4. Place the appropriate test weight on the platter and wait for scale to show “SAVE”.
5. Press the
MODE
key to save the test weight calibration value.
6. Once the test weight calibration value has been saved, the scale shows an “End” message.
7. You must now turn the scale OFF and then turn it back ON without pressing any keys. Your
ESW is now calibrated and ready for use.
MESSAGE
MEANING / POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Shows “Err”
Continuously
The scale is unstable. Make sure you are not violating one of the “Caution” items. Other-
wise, the scale may require service.
Shows “Add”
Continuously
The scale is not detecting weight internally. Possible damage to the load cell. Scale re-
quires service.
