6001 Manual - My Weigh scales Discontinued Model

2) If the Display ever becomes locked on 1HHHH, LLLL or EEEE, this indicates that the scale was shocked, dropped or otherwise damaged and the delicate weighing sensors have been damaged. You can try recalibrating the scale (If the sensor has not been hurt too badly it will work again after recalibration). Otherwise you will have to follow the warranty instructions that came with your scale.

3) If the display becomes locked on 8888, this often indicates low batteries. However sometimes it also may indicate a serious zero mark error. This means when you turn the scale on, it can't determine what zero is (a slight zero mark error will cause situation #1 above) Thus, if new batteries do not fix this error the scale will have to be sent to us for replacement under your original warranty program, if the scale is still within it's warranty period.

4) If the display shows UNST, this means the scale is not stable. Please try operating the scale on a more stable surface and be sure nothing is on the tray or stuck under the tray when you turn it on. If this situation persists, it may be an indication of fatal load cell damage. You can try calibrating the scale - if this does not work please follow the warranty instructions.

Although this scale is designed to be extremely durable, It’s important that you never overload or drop/shock the scale. Scales are delicate instruments and unlike Cellular phones, scales have delicate sensors that determine how much an item weighs. If you drop or shock your scale, these sensors "feel" the shock and are sometimes destroyed. This happens with all digital scales. We design our scales to be as resistant to shock or drops as possible, however there is no way for us to protect 100% against load cell or sensor damage. A well-treated scale will provide years of reliable and accurate weighing. However an abused scale will only work until it’s sensors are damaged.

Thank you for purchasing this scale. With normal care and proper treatment it will provide years of reliable service. Please read all operating instructions carefully.

.KEEP THE FOLLOWING POINTS IN MIND:
* Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold, your scale works best when operated and stored at normal room temperature.

* Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale On and wait several seconds to give the internal components a chance to stabilize before weighing.

* The cleaner the environment the better. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents and proximity to other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.

* Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto tray top. Although this scale is designed to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the internal sensor and void your warranty.

* Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the scale. This is a precision instrument and MUST BE HANDLED WITH EXTREME CARE.

* Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface. IMPORTANT: Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers, or any other electronic device.

6001 CALIBRATION_____________________________________________
**This scale should only be calibrated by advanced users or scale technicians - do not attempt to calibrate this scale unless you have the correct calibration weights. To calibrate this scale you must have two 1kg and two 2kg calibration weights or combination of weights.
Important: Please turn the scale ON and allow it to warm up for 30 seconds before calibration . Incorrect calibration can occur if you do not follow the steps exactly. If your scale does not perform accurately, please try replacing your batteries before you calibrate. Always calibrate slowly and methodically.
Calibration Procedure:
1) Turn the scale upside-down. On the underside of the scale there is a switch. Slide the switch to CAL. Now turn the scale back around to it’s regular side and put it on a flat and stable surface.
Be sure the scale is OFF.
2) Press BOTH the TARE and ON/OFF keys at the same time and keep them BOTH pressed for 5 seconds. The scale will enter calibration mode. A random 4 or 5 digit number will show on the display
3) Place a 1kg weight onto the tray and wait 5 seconds
4) Press the ON/OFF key. The display will show 1000 and then it will return to a random number. DON’T REMOVE THE WEIGHT.
5) Add another 1kg weight onto the tray and wait 5 seconds
(so now there will be a total of 2kg on the tray)
6) Press the ON/OFF key. The display will show 2000 and then return to a random number. (Do not remove the weights)
7) Add a 2kg weight onto the tray and wait 5 seconds
(so now there will be 4kg of weight on the tray).
8) Press the ON/OFF key. The display will show 4000 and then return to a random number.
9) Add another 2kg weight on the tray and wait 5 seconds
(so now there will be a total of 6kg on the tray)
10) Press the ON/OFF key. The display will show 6000 and then it will show PASS.
11) Press the ON/OFF key. The scale will return to active weighing (it will display 6000g) Calibration is complete.
12)Turn the scale OFF, Remove the weight, and slide the switch on the underside of the scale to NORMAL.
NOTE: if after calibration your scale does not read accurately, this indicates
calibration error and the calibration process should be repeated more slowly.

INACCURACY / ERROR___________________________________
The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are low batteries, incorrect calibration, overload or operating on an unstable surface. Please keep this in mind and maintain / operate your scale properly. The scale is a precise instrument and must be handled with the utmost care and caution.
FEATURE_______________________________________________
* Power Up Segment Test
When first turning the unit on, all segments of the display will appear as shown below. This display will remain for approximately 3 seconds and then reset to zero. The display may also change brightness during this time and show a blank screen for a moment before 0 appears
- 888.8.8
* Stable Reading Indication
This is a very precise scale - the display may seem to wander or jump when weighing. This is due to air currents or vibrations. Stable weighing is achieved when the display remains fixed for 3 seconds.
* Overload
When an applied load exceeds the capacity of the scale, “Err” will appear on the display. Remove the excessive load immediately. The unit may return to normal operation. !Remember: You can permanently damage the scale by overloading it so don’t ever put more then 6000 grams / 13.2 lb on the scale’s tray!
* Negative Value
Any tared value or a value left in memory will be displayed as a negative number once all weight is removed from the unit. Depress tare to return the unit to zero.
* Auto off
An auto shut off feature is provided to conserve battery power. The unit will automatically turn off after approximately 90 seconds of inactivity.
