iBalance scale manual - My Weigh scales

Low Batteries & Faulty AC Adaptors are the #1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy! We test all of our scale returns from consumers. Fully 60% of consumer returns are simply dead or low batteries. 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. 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All safety messages are identified by the words warning and caution. These words mean the following:

Warning Important information to alert you to a situation that might cause serious injury and damage to your property if instructions are not followed.

Caution
Important information that tells how to prevent damage to the equipment.

When using the iBalance, the following safety precautions should always be followed.

Warning: Use only the correct AC adaptor with the scale. Other adaptors may cause permanent electrical damage.

Caution: Avoid placing the scale in direct sunlight, this may cause discoloration or malfunction.

Replace all batteries at the same time. Do not replace only a portion of the 6 batteries as this may cause a malfunction.

If the scale is not to be used for a long period of time, remove all batteries from the battery compartment to avoid leakage which may cause damage to this scale.

Overload (placing more then 100 grams on the scale) may cause permanent damage.

Do not get the scale wet or operate on any wet surface.

Matter charged with static electricity could cause inaccuracy. Discharge all static electricity. If the scale becomes charged with static electricity remove the tray and spray both sides with a discharging spray (static guard type spray).

WARRANTY
This scale is warranted from all defects in materials or craftsmanship for 1 year from date of purchase. Any defect created by misuse, abuse, overload or physical damage is not covered. Also any incidental or consequential damage is not covered. We do not accept returns of used scales from our resellers. You must return your scale directly to our repair center.

For fast warranty service please send the scale with a note describing the problem and your return address to:

My Weigh Warranty Dept

Please make sure you include a copy of your original receipt as proof of purchase and $10 to cover the cost of postage. The scale must be completely clean and devoid of all lab & food matter. Unsanitary or unclean scales will be destroyed without repair. If you use your scale to weigh gunpowder or other hazmats please be especially careful to sanitize and clean the scale before you send it to us.

CALIBRATION
Calibration may be required when the scale is first set up for use or if the scale is moved to a new location. This is necessary because the weight of a mass in one location is not necessarily the same in another location. Also, temperature and altitude can affect the calibration of the scale.

Calibration Procedure

You must have an accurate 100 gram weight in order to calibrate
Before entering calibration mode, press [ON/OFF] to turn the power on for 1 minute. This will allow the scale to warm up.
Enter calibration mode. Press [ON/OFF] to turn the power off. Now Press and hold [ZERO] first, then Press and release [ON/OFF], now release [ZERO], the display will show the A/D value (a random series of numbers).
Calibration using the weight. Wait five seconds then Press [SET] the display will show "00SAVE", after 2 seconds, the display will return to it's default random value.
Place a 100g weight on platform. Wait five seconds, then press [SET], the display will show "00SAVE" and now calibration in finished.
Return to weighing mode. Press [ON/OFF] to turn the power off. Press [ON/OFF] again to turn on the power and the scale will return to normal weighing mode.
Test some weight readings to be sure they are correct. If not, perform calibration again.

INSTALLING BATTERIES / INSTALLING THE AC ADAPTOR
Remove the battery compartment cover and insert six batteries (R6P/LR6/AAsize) into the battery compartment.Taking extreme care that the polarities plus and minus are correct. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Plug the AC adapter to the AC adapter socket on the side. The AC input requirement could be 100,120,220,230 or 240Volts (50/60Hz) depending on the area where use, so please verify that the adaptor is correct.

Caution
Avoid installing the scale in direct sunlight, this may cause discoloration or malfunctions. Place your iBalance on a firm, stable weighing table so that the scale is level. (The scale will not perform accurately when it is not level.) Place the scale on a firm surface that is flat and level for an accurate weighing.

WEIGHING
Before weighing, be aware of the Automatic power-off function. If this unit is left ON and the stable indicator is displayed, an automatic power-off function turns power off after approximately 3 minutes. Calibration may be required before weighing. Read "CALIBRATION" first and if necessary, calibrate your scale for accurate weighing.

Weighing Procedure

Press [ON/OFF] to turn on the scale. When power is turned on, all display segments appear for a few seconds and "0" will appear on the display.
Select the weighing unit with [SET]. Press [SET] to select a weighing unit "g", "kg" , "lb" or "oz". Once the unit has been selected, the selected unit will displayed the weight value.
Start weighing. If you do not use a container for weighing, verify the reading is "0". If not, press [ZERO] to display "0". Place objects on the scaleÕs platform to be weighed. When the reading becomes stable, the stable indicator is displayed. If you use a container for weighing, place an empty container on the platform. Wait for the stable indicator to be displayed and press [ZERO]. Place the objects to be weighed in the container. When the reading becomes stable, the stable indicator is displayed.
