(Advanced users only) CALIBRATION

______________________________

IMPORTANT: This scale was professionally factory calibrated before shipment and does NOT need to be 
recalibrated by the end user. However, if you wish to recalibrate your scale we provide these instructions for 
calibration:

 

Repeat calibration if the scale performs inaccurately. Incorrect calibration can occur if you do not 

follow the steps exactly. You will need a 50gram weight or set of weights to calibrate this scale (included in the 
box).

DURASCALE 50 Easy Calibration:

There are two models of the Durascale.  The older Durascales need to begin calibration with the 
scale turned OFF.  The newer Durascales need to begin calibration with the scale turned ON
 

*Start with the scale 

powered off or on as per above 

and nothing on the weighing platform. 

1) press and hold both the ‘ON/OFF’ and ‘TARE’ keys until ‘CAL-0’ shows on the display
2) Press ‘TARE’, the ‘0’ in ‘CAL-0’ will flash;
3) When ‘CAL-F’ shows on the display, Place the 50gram calibration weight on the weighing platform 
4) Press ‘TARE’, the ‘F’ in ‘CAL-F’ will flash ;
5) When ‘CAL-0’ appears on the display, remove the 50gram weight from the platform
6) Press ‘TARE’ , the ‘0’ in ‘CAL-0’ will flash
When the calibration is finished, the scale will automatically turn off/reset

NOTE:

 if after calibration your scale does not read accurately, this indicates

calibration error and the calibration process should be repeated more slowly. 

Please calibrate on a very stable flat surface
