Calibrating your Avaweigh 334PCN10 digital portion control scale is crucial for accurate measurements. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you calibrate your scale properly:
-
Powering On: Begin by placing the scale on a flat, stable surface. Press the ON/OFF/ZERO button to turn the scale on. The scale will perform a self-check, display its version number, and then show a zero reading.
-
Zeroing the Display: At any point, pressing the ON/OFF/ZERO button will reset the display to zero. The zero indicator will appear on the display to confirm the zero point has been set.
-
Calibration Basics: Calibration ensures the scale provides accurate readings and is typically performed within a range of ±2% of the initial zero point after powering on. Make sure the scale is in a steady weighing mode before proceeding.
-
Calibration Steps:
- Ensure the scale is stable and displaying zero.
- Press and hold the UNIT button to enter the calibration mode.
- Use the PRINT button to increase the calibration value, or the HI/LO button to decrease it.
- Press the TARE button to confirm the selected calibration value.
- Press the ON/OFF/ZERO button to exit calibration mode and return to normal weighing mode.
-
Verification: After calibrating, place a weight of a known value on the scale. Verify that the displayed weight matches the known weight. If the readings are accurate, the calibration was successful.
-
Regular Calibration: For continued accuracy, it's recommended to calibrate the scale periodically. This is especially important if the scale is moved or exposed to significant temperature fluctuations.
By following these steps, you can ensure your Avaweigh 334PCN10 digital portion control scale provides precise and reliable weight measurements.
