Want to know more about the Evolution of the UltraShip?
The UltraShip is the upgraded replacement for the aging - but popular LS-30 scale. It has been well received by the market, read this letter from The CARVEL ICE CREAM Company about how the Ultraship helped set the Guinness record for Ice Cream cakes. Over the years we learned that the pop-up letter holder/mail tube holder of the LS-30 tended to break if overly stressed. We tried several times to reinforce it, but consumers would always find a way to break it. So, we gave up on the pop up cover and upgraded to stronger professional type attachments instead. We designed a deluxe letter holder that can hold both small individual letters and large padded envelopes. It has a telescoping design so it can accommodate letters of every size. Next we designed a mail tube holder that cradles mail tubes - rather then crushing them as pop up covers often do. Our Tube and envelope attachments cradle items like a mother holding a baby, rather then the damaging compression technique used by older pop-up covers. Next we sought out to address improvements requested by our customers. We were often asked to add a HOLD feature to our scales. People complained that they would put an oversized box on the scale and couldn't read the display. So, we added a HOLD feature that holds the weight of an item on the display (simply put the box on the scale and press HOLD, then you can remove the box and see what the weight was on the display). This sounded like a perfect solution - until we put some test units into the field. We received constant complaints about the hold feature because it makes for very uneasy weighing. First you must realize that in order to use the hold feature you have to either have the scale on a table top or crouch down on your knees to press the HOLD button. When you're dealing with 30lb or 50lb packages it's often not viable to have the scale on a table. Second the HOLD feature is basically just a "rig", and it forces people to take extra steps during weighing (a big complaint was that it slowed down the weighing process). Basically we learned that just a HOLD feature was not enough for our customers. Thus we realized that the only option was to make a remote display. Although it costs more to produce, we realized that it was the only way to make this scale "The Ultimate". Of course some times people don't want a remote display (they tend to take up a lot of room on a desk, people can trip over the cord or the cord can get tangled). So, we designed the world's first remote display that can also be locked back into place with the cord fully stored. In short, the new Ultraship can be used just like the LS-30, the display is fully locked into place and cord is completely tucked away and hidden. But when you need it, you can unlock the display and move it remotely away from the base of the scale up to 2ft. This new invention is patented in the USA and EU. Next we addressed another common complaint by making an ADJUSTABLE AUTO OFF feature. Many people complained that they didn't want their scale to turn off during use. They wanted it to remain powered on all day. However an equal amount of people want their scale to turn off automatically if they forget to turn it off themselves. So, we added an adjustable auto off feature that allows the consumer to decide if they want the auto-off feature or not. The next improvement was in the area of Modes. Our customers had specific needs, and we needed to accommodate every postal / shipping company. Thus we made the new Ultraship read in Pounds:Ounces, Pounds, Grams, Kilograms. This is very important because in the USA some people need their scale to display 15 1/4 pounds as "15lb : 4.0oz" and some people need it to be shown as "15.250lb". Likewise for Kilograms some people need 11.5 kilograms to be displayed as "11.500kg" and some people need it to be shown as "11500g". The other improvements of the Ultraship are all about accuracy and durability. The UltraShip is a professional scale - featuring true digital auto calibration and temperature compensation. You will notice that it is powered by a professional 2-part AC adaptor or C batteries. Why "C" batteries? Because another common complaint of the LS was that it "ate" batteries too quickly. With C batteries the Ultraship will run 5X longer on battery power then the old LS-30. Also the Ultraship-30 reads in precise 0.1oz / 0.005lb / 2g / 0.002kg increments at lower weights (for letters and envelopes) and 0.2oz / 0.010lb / 5g / 0.005kg increments at higher weights (for boxes and packages). The LS-30 reads in less-precise 0.5oz increments at higher weights and other shipping scales simply don't have the more precise lower range of the Ultraship. Note that USPS standard for measuring letters is 0.1oz - so if your scale reads letters in 0.2oz you are NOT within the USPS letter standard. The Ultraship is the standard by which all other shipping scales will now be judged. There is simply no better scale for your home, office or small warehouse then the UltraShip. NOTE: Now that we have posted this information for the whole world to read on our website, you can bet some of our smaller competitors will quickly alter their scales to read or perform in a "similar" manner to Ultraship. Thus we have filed for patent protection for our convertible remote display unit... Sadly, My Weigh is the most commonly "duplicated" and "copied" scale brand. We are the industry benchmark that most other scale companies try to model themselves after. |

ULTRASHIP Owners Manual & Troubleshooting Guide
ULTRASHIP Owners Manual & Troubleshooting Guide
Low Batteries, bad battery connections & Faulty AC Adaptors are the #1 cause of Ultraship malfunction and inaccuracy! We test all of our scale returns from consumers. Fully 60% of consumer returns are battery related problems. This sounds silly but it's true! A scale will perform slowly, or read inaccurately when it has low batteries. Please replace the batteries often (and only use good quality batteries). We include good quality batteries with all of our scales but batteries can run low in storage. If your scale simply won't turn on while on Battery power, this is often caused by loose battery connections. Battery prongs (terminals) are made of metal. They must be making good contact with your batteries in order for the scale to power on. You can use a paperclip to slightly bend the battery prongs to make them have a better connection. Also some poorly designed batteries have recessed or partially obstructed battery terminals. This may cause your prongs to be touching the plastic housing of the battery instead of the metal battery terminal. A Faulty AC adaptor can cause your scale to act unstable with numbers "jumping" all around. Please test your scale with a good set of batteries (instead of the AC adaptor) to determine if perhaps the AC adaptor is faulty. Some Ultra-75 scales will need a different or improved AC adaptor then the Ultra-50 and Ultra-30. You will know if you have this problem because the scale will power on but the numbers will fluctuate ("bounce" all around). Most Ultraship 75's do not have this problem, it's only happened a few times and it was caused by a slightly underpowered AC Adaptor (the output was slightly less then normal). The Ultra 75 requires just a bit more power then the Ultra 30, 35, 50 or 55 and thus is the only model affected by an AC adaptor that is giving a slightly less then normal output.
IMPORTANT MANUAL CORRECTION: 2005/2006 Model Notes: During production we sometimes modify the Ultraship slightly to make it easier to use and perform more stable. This can cause some typos in the manual. Note that on the newest Ultraships there is NO STABLE INDICATOR, we removed it on some models as it was causing a software conflict. The BEEP function was also removed due to customer complaints.
TROUBLESHOOTING & OPERATION NOTES
1) If the scale does not perform accurately, please recalibrate as outlined in the manual.
2) If the Display ever becomes locked on EEEEE, 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 may 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 power. 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 please follow the warranty instructions.
4) If the display shows UNST, this means the scale is not stable. Try operating the scale on a more stable surface & be sure nothing is on the tray or stuck under the tray when you turn it on. If the problem persists, it may be an indication of fatal sensor damage.
5) If the scale is on AC power and it will not properly stabilize (fluctuating weights are shown on the display), this may be caused by a malfunctioning AC adaptor. Please try operating the scale on Battery power to see if the problem persists. If the problem does not occur on Battery power then it is a sign of a bad or improper AC adaptor. Please replace the AC adaptor. If the problem occurs on Battery power also, it may be a sign of environmental issues, please the special warning in this manual.
Although the ULTRASHIP is designed to be extremely durable, It’s important that you never overload or drop/shock the scale. If you ship the scale be certain to pack it extremely well to prevent shipping damage. 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.

**SPECIAL WARNING**
Cell-Phones, Cordless-Phones, and any radio-frequency device can cause temporary interference and cause the scale to temporarily not work properly. Please do not use any electronic device near the scale. Just like in an Airplane, do not use your cell-phone near the scale when it is in use. While there is NO risk of permanent damage to the scale, interference can cause an incorrect calibration or incorrect weight readings.
CALIBRATION
When to calibrate - calibration is almost never required.
If the scale is inaccurate, calibration may be desired when the scale is first set up for use, or if the scale is moved to a different altitude or gravitation. 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 can occur.
How to calibrate
**The UL-30/35 requires a 10kg calibration weight to calibrate. The UL-50/55 and UL-75 require a 20kg calibration weight. (you can use a combination of weights such as 5 2kg weights)**
1. The scale must be powered OFF. Press and hold [ZERO] first, then Press [ON/OFF] while keeping the [ZERO] button depressed, then release both keys. The display will show the A/D value (a series of random numbers).
2.Wait for the stable A/D value to be displayed, Press [UNIT] the display will show "0SAVE", then the display will return to the random A/D value.
3.Place the 10kg (UL-30) or 20kg (UL-50 & UL-75) weight(s) on platform. Wait for the stable A/D value to display, then press [UNIT], the display will show "0SAVE". Calibration is complete, remove the weight(s).
4.Turn the scale OFF (Press the ON/OFF key) , then turn it back ON and check some weight readings. If calibration is still incorrect, repeat calibration but try it more slowly.
If calibration is repeatedly incorrect then: 1) Replace the batteries, 2) Try a more stable surface or vibration and interference free location, 3) Be sure there is no static electricity on the scale (use an anti-static spray to remove static electricity)
