Calibration procedures vary by model. For many digital models, it involves accessing a calibration switch (often concealed under a label or on the back) and following a specific key sequence with certified weights. Refer to the specific technical manual for your model.
Most portable Detecto digital scales utilize AA, C, or 9V batteries depending on the model. Some models also include or support an AC adapter (e.g., 9V DC or 12V DC). Always check the battery compartment or manual for the correct type.
It is recommended to check calibration annually or whenever the scale is moved to a new location. In clinical settings, local regulations may require more frequent checks.
Error codes indicate issues such as overload, unstable weight, or hardware faults. 'E1' often signifies an issue with the A/D converter or load cell connection. Consult the troubleshooting section of your user manual for code definitions.
The serial number is typically located on a silver or white manufacturer's sticker on the back or side of the display indicator, or on the base of the scale platform.
