TE400 420 lb / 190.4 kg
POWER OFF
To turn the scale off, press the “OFF” button.
Calibration Function
Occasionally the scale's accuracy should be verified by measuring a known weight of the scale's approximate capacity. Tare the scale by pressing ZERO, place the weight on the platform and note the reading. Calibrate the scale if necessary.
Calibration Procedure
You must use a CALIBRATED weight ONLY to properly recalibrate the scale.
•For the TE150, use a 150 lb calibrated weight (or 60 kg if operating in kilos).
•For the TE400, use a 400 lb calibrated weight (or 150 kg if operating in kilos).
1.While the scale is off, press and hold down the “TARE/HOLD” and “lb/kg” buttons. While holding down both these buttons, press the “ON” button to turn the scale on. When the display shows “8888” > “CAL”, the scale is in calibration mode.
2.Release the buttons. The display will show “CX” with a number (CX150 for the TE150; CX400 for the TE400). Next the display will show a number (the zero count) between 4700 and 6000. (Note: if operating the scale in kilograms, the scale will instead show “C60” for the TE150 or “C150” for the TE400. If the zero count is outside the range, please contact customer service.)
3.Press the “TARE/HOLD” button. The display will show “XXX0”.
4.Place a calibrated weight on the scale platform.
•For the TE150, use a 150lb (or 60 kg) calibrated weight.
•For the TE400, use a 400 lb (or 150 kg) calibrated weight.
The display will show a number between 1800 and 2300 (the span count). Note: the span count must be stable on the display before proceeding to step 5. If the span count is outside this range, please contact customer service
5.Press the “TARE/HOLD” button. The following will appear on the display:
•For the TE150, the display will show “C150”> “End”> “150.0”
(or “C60”> “End”> “60.0” if operating in kilograms).
•For the TE400, the display will show “C400”> “End”> “400.0”
(or “C120”> “End”> “120.0” if operating in kilograms).
6.The calibration is complete. Remove the weight from the scale.
