To calibrate the scale:
1. If you are already in Setup Menu Mode, scroll to “
F 12”
and press the
ZERO
key. Otherwise,
turn the scale off and set the Calibration Switch on the back panel to the opposite position.
Turn the unit back on.
The message "
C 0
" appears on the display briefly, followed by a value which remains on the
screen. Allow a 20 minute warm-up period for the load cell and electronics to become ther-
mally stable.
2. Press
ZERO
to zero the value, then press the
NET/GROSS
key to save the zero point value.
3. The display will momentarily prompt "
C 1
" for the span calibration, followed by "
0.00
" with one
digit flashing. Place the test weight on the platform.
4. Use the four directional keys to adjust the displayed value to the actual test weight value in
pounds. Increase the flashing digit by pressing the
lb/kg
key. Decrease the flashing digit by
pressing the
ZERO
key. The position of the flashing digit may be changed by pressing the
key or the
TARE
key.
5. After setting the exact value, press the
NET/GROSS
key to save the value.
6. If the calibration was successful, the display will show "
ECAL
" momentarily, then freeze. Exit
the Calibration mode and enter the Normal Operating Mode by positioning the Calibration
Switch back to its original position.
7. If the calibration was
not
successful, one of the error messages below will appear. Take the
indicated action to correct the problem, then perform a new calibration.

To place the unit back into the Normal Operating mode:

panel keys will now return to their normal mode of operation.
