CALIBRATION
Calibration
Your scale has been factory calibrated and does not require calibration prior to use. There
are no requirements for calibration in the field; users should adhere to their institution's
calibration policies. If required, the scale can be calibrated. A 5kg weight is required for
calibration. If the scale is Everlocked into pounds, the calibration procedure will still require
use of a 5kg weight.
Note: Avoid scale placement near heating/cooling vents, heating appliances, areas of
high airflow or direct sunlight. Calibration must be done in a controlled environment.
Note: Only weights certified and traceable to national standards should be used for
calibration procedures.
1. Press and hold CLEAR/REWEIGH and HOLD/RLS/RECALL at the same time, then press and
release the
button to power on the scale. Remain pressing CLEAR/REWEIGH and
HOLD/RLS/RECALL until "CAL" appears on the display. Release all buttons.
2. Once the buttons are released the following message will display, "CAL99", "CAL98" etc., until
the display counts down to zero. This allows the load cells time to settle before calibration starts.
The down arrow key can be pushed at any time to cancel the countdown, however this is not
recommended.
3. Once the time has elapsed, "2Ero SCALE" will scroll horizontally across the screen. With no
weight on the scale, press ZERO/TARE.
4. The scale will zero and "PLACE 5 ON SCALE PrESS EnTEr" will scroll across the screen.
5. Place a certified 5kg weight on the center of the weighing tray, then press ENTER/SELECT.
"CAL" will flash on the screen while the scale is calibrating.
A. If the weight is within calibration range, a five digit number will be displayed for approximately
5 seconds then display the calibration weight. Remove the weight from the scale and the
scale will restart.
B. If the weight placed on the scale does not match the correct calibration standard (5 kg), "Out
OF RANGE" will appear on the display. Calibration is not performed. Press
CLEAR/REWEIGH to exit calibration mode. Obtain the correct amount of calibration weight
and begin the calibration process again.
