Scale Calibration The scale is configured from the factory to match the specified settings for each unit, as defined by the product specifications and sales brochure. Modification of the settings can be accomplished by altering user configuration settings P7-P10. CAUTION! Calibration and/or configuration of calibration settings of your scale should be accomplished by a trained service technician using certified weights to ensure proper operation and accuracy.
5.3 Calibrate Scale You may choose to configure your scale for a higher resolution. The factory does not recommend increasing the resolution above 7,500 divisions for a stable weight reading. Certain environments may cause the scale to be unstable at factory settings, reduce the # of division settings to increase your stability.
