How Do I Calibrate My Scale?

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by Kottonmouth 420, May 29, 2010.

  1. #1 Kottonmouth 420, May 29, 2010
    I know this is a dumb questions but i dont know how to calibrate my scale. My scale has two buttons, one is the on, off and zero button and the other is the light and calibrate button. So i push and held the second button to get it to calibrate and then it came up on my scale and says CAL and then says 100.0 for a bit and then it comes up with a E. So I dont know what im supposed to do.


    HELP ME!!!

    If you told the name and model of the scale I could give you better instructions. But most likely you need to buy a calibration weight. If you turn it on will it weigh things out for you? If so you can just put on a nickel (which is 5g's) and remember the difference. But obviously calibrating it would be the best way. Good luck!

    Then for now if you'd like just weight out a nickel and see if it's 5g's. If not then you know that your scale is off by whatever the weight is. If it says 4.8 then you have to make sure to add .2 every time you weigh. Obviously getting a calibration weight would be the best way but if for now you would like you could do that.

    I think when it says 100 you have to put a 100g weight on it.
