Calibrating your Balanzza

When to calibrate

Calibration may be required when it is initially installed, if the mini scale is moved to a substantial distance.
This is necessary because the weight of a mass in one location is not necessarily the same in another location. Also, with time and use, mechanical deviations may occur.

How to calibrate

  1. Before entering calibration mode, press on to turn the power on for 1minutes.
  2. Enter calibration mode
    Press on to turn the power off. Press [Reset] first, then Press on, while keeping pressing [Reset], the display will show the A/D value.
  3. Calibration by the weight
    Wait for the stable value to be displayed, Press on the display will show "0", after 2 seconds, the display will show calibration weight value.
  4. Place the calibration weight on platform. After the stable value is displayed, then press on, the display will show "CAL", after 2 seconds, the displayed will return to "PASS" and then return to A/D value, now calibration is finished.
  5. Press on, turn off the power, press on turn on the power again, place the weight on the platform to make sure whether weighing is correct, if not, repeat steps 2-5.
  6. Return to weighing mode
    Press on to turn the power off. Press on again to turn on the power and the scale return to the weighing mode.

Weighing

Before weighing:

    2. If you use a bag or other container for weighing:
      • Place an empty container on the strap and proceed to weigh it. Wait for the stability weighing value to be displayed and press on to display "0".
      • Place the objects to be weighted in the container.

How to Clean and Maintain your Balanzza

The only moving part of your Balanzza is the handle, this piece is critical for the strength and durability of the scale, it contains an internal metal rail that needs to be clean if any element makes its way in it, please proceed with this steps in case you need to detach the handle for cleaning or if you need to put it back.



How to Detach the Handle:
  1. Turn the handle 90 degrees with the scale. The rails of the handle will become aligned with the internal screws of the scale. (Figure A)
  2. Turn the scale diagonally keeping the handle at 90 degrees in order to retract the scale from the handle. (Figure B)
  3. Remove any dirt or object that might have gotten stuck on the handle. DO NOT USE WATER.
How to Reattach the Handle:
  1. Align the scale with the handle at 90 degrees.
  2. Rotate the scale diagonally till the internal screws enter the handle rails.
  3. Turn the handle to closed position by applying pressure at the screw levels.
