  • Page 5: Percentage Operation

    Percentage Operation The EL 3000 Digital Scale contains a percentage operation which is useful for such applications as filling, check weighing and moisture determination. The total weight of the item being sampled determines the resolution of the percentage readout. For example, if the sample weight is greater than or equal to 10,000 external scale divisions, the scale will discern 0.01% increments.

  • Page 12: Calibration

    Calibration The EL-3000 scale may be calibrated with any precision test weight from 10% to 100% of full scale capacity. If the scale was ordered in a avoirdupois configuration, the test weight unit must be in pounds. If the scale was ordered in a metric configuration, then the test weight unit must be in kilograms. The recommended test weight is about 2/3 of the full scale capacity, but in general, the larger the test weight, the more accurate the scale will be.
