220R can be adjusted to make the display easier to read. Unstable loads or high winds can cause the display to fluctuate erratically. By reducing the display resolution, external influences can be minimized. As shipped, the DS-220R is set to MEDIUM resolution, suitable for most purposes. The resolution can be changed to LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH by repeated pressing on the keypad.
If the weight applied to the weighing platform exceeds the maximum capacity of the DS-220R (100 kg), a single “1” will be shown on the left side of the display. To prevent damage to the DS-220R, immediately remove the weight from the platform.

DS-220R User’s Guide Calibration The DS-220R is calibrated at the factory to provide high accuracy. While recalibration should seldom, if ever, be necessary, recalibration is performed easily without sending the product to the manufacturer for service. A known calibration weight (in kilograms) is required to recalibrate the scale, and can be any value between 5 kg and 100 kg.
