Section 6 
 

Entering Calibrations and Parameter setup Mode: 
 

The Calibration and Parameter Setup Mode can be entered by two different ways. 

 

1)  

The 

Front Panel CAL Access Feature 

 

To enter the calibration mode while the scale is powered up HOLD the hidden switch 

behind the SEEDBURO Logo, now press the PRINT switch once.  

At this point, the display will show the audit counters followed by the first menu parameter 

CAL 0.  

 

2)  

The 

CAL switch 

is a momentary push button located in the center of main Printed Circuit 

board. The CAL 

switch can be accessed by removing the meter’s top cover. 

After the push button has been pressed, the display will show the audit counters 
followed by the first menu parameter CAL 0. 

 

CALIBRATING THE 9000AG: 

To calibrate your Seedburo Model 9000AG, you will need a set of precision test weights, 
Class "Q" or better. This set consists of 2-2000g weights. Seedburo has these weight 
sets available for purchase. Do not use test weights of lower accuracy than Class "Q" - 
Scale calibration will not be correct, as it is dependent upon the accuracy of the test 
weights used. 
 
Before proceeding with calibration, 

be sure that the scale is level

, stable, and away from 

wind currents and vibration.  Use the bubble level below the platter and the adjustable feet. 
 

Note: 

Excessive vibration or wind currents can cause the count down cycle to 

restart. This can cause errors in calibration. It is imperative that calibration 
be done in an area free from vibration and wind currents. 
 

1.  Enter Calibration mode, wait until 

CAL 0

 appears on the display. 

2.  Remove commodity holder or any weight from the scale platter and wait for about 10 

seconds. Press 

ZERO 

and wait for the display to count down from 7 to 0. If the calibration 

zero was in range, the display will return with CAL FS. 

3.  To complete the calibration process, place 2,000 grams weight on the platter and 

press 

ZERO

, wait for the display to count down to 0. If the span calibration was in 

range, the display will return with weigh mode if successful. 

4.   If the display returns with a CAL 0, repeat 
5.  steps 2 and 3. 

NOTE: 

If an error message appears Refer to the Troubleshooting section for additional information.
