TARE is also used to remove the weight of an item from the display - it also sets the
scale’s display to zero but the original weight is stored in the memory of the scale.
You can then press NW/GW to show the weight that you tared off. For example, if you
turn the scale on, then place 100 grams of sugar in the scale’s bowl, the scale will show
100g. Now press the TARE key, the scale will show 0, now press NW/GW and the scale
will show you 100. You can press NW/GW again to go back to the weighing process.
You can also repeat this for several weights. For example you can place an Apple in the
bowl, press the TARE key, the scale will show 0, place another apple in the bowl, press
the TARE key, the scale will show 0. Now press the NW/GW button and the scale will
show you the combined weight of both apples. This process can be repeated for up to 50
items and is great for recipes or diets that demand exacting measurements. For additional
parts/samples counting please see page 4.
It’s best to experiment with your scale and become familiar with it’s features.
The i5000 is a technologically advanced scale.
CALIBRATION
Recalibration is not necessary.
This i5000 is a professional scale. Unlike most consumer kitchen scales (which are not
recalibratable) this scale uses a professional load cell with digital auto calibration. It is
very unlikely that you will ever have to recalibrate this scale. Some professional users
may want to recalibrate their scale to keep and maintain exact accuracy. This is because
the weight of a mass in one part of the world is not necessarily the same in another part.
Also, with time and use, small mechanical deviations can occur. In order to calibrate
this scale you will need a 5000g (5kg) weight or combination of weights.
How to calibrate
1.
Before entering calibration mode, turn the scale on and let it warm up for about
one minute. Then turn it off and proceed to the next step below.
2.
Enter calibration mode
The Scale should be OFF
(be sure it’s off). Press and hold the
[ZERO]
key. While
keeping the
[ZERO]
key depressed, Press
[ON/OFF]. Then release both keys.
The
display will show a random series of numbers.
3.
Calibration by the weight
Wait for the stable indicator to be displayed then Press
[ZERO]
. The display will show
"2Ero"
and then the display will show 5000.
4.
Place a 5000g weight on the tray and then press
[ZERO]
, the display will show
"CAL", then after 2 seconds, the display will show “PASS”. Calibration in complete.
Turn the scale OFF, then turn it back ON and test some weight readings. If they are
inaccurate, perform calibration again.
