Can you calibrate with 100 200 or 300g, or is it only programmed to work with 500g weights? I'm reading it needs 500g, but won't that damage it?

I thought the same thing. It didn't but I chose to use 2-300g weights any with how small of a set of scales these are

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

Yes it can be re-calibrated if necessary. When I do it the scale asks for a 1000.0 g weight. I don't have any so I just check it with the smaller weight set I have. You can buy the weight on ebay for 17 USD or so. Wish they stated this in the product description. Good luck. Joe

I have calibrated my set within 4/100 of a gm.That is using 100 gm calibrating weight.Not bad..

I don't think there is any way to calibrate a scale with out using a known weight to adjust a scale with. Use another scale and fill a container with something that weights 100 grams with the container, then you can use that to calibrate the other scale. Then the scale is calibrated to the scale used the make the weight. If you have a calibrating weight it is a lot easier to check your scales. Hope this helps.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

1st you must have a standard 100g weight. You cannot do it without it. Turn on scale, wait for 0.00 Then hold down the ON button until it reads 0. It will then flash 100.00, meaning that it wants the 100g weight. Put it on a flat stable surface, then place the weight on it and wait until it stops flashing. Done!

You don't have to calibrate. It only measures in grams. I use it to measure coffee by taring it with the empty container from my grinder and then adding however many beans I want (for me, usually 17 grams) and then run the measured beans through the grinder. I also put my chemex on this to measure how much water I'm adding.

This scale is pretty consistent at measuring small weights. I took a 10g weight and weighed it 5 times (as per your question) and got the same result, 10g each time. This scale is quite sensitive though, a breath or even a draft of air can make it fluctuate and give an incorrect reading, it also needs to be on a flat, solid surface for optimum performance.

I wish I could sincerely answer your question. This device has not been the best so far. Constant calibration and off results. I would suggest investing a little bit more money on a better scale.

it clearly states 200x0.01g, that means it measures up to 200g at the precision of 0.01g. Do your own conversions to whatever unit you want.

300g. The sticker is wrong. Follow the instructions to calibrate it then whatever weight it says on the LCD readout is the weight you need to use. I've had 5 or 6 of this same one now, I love it.

You would have to re-calibrate it and do the math because it's basically a scale that's calibrated for 20 lb tanks. But now that I think about it probably won't work because if your tank is full when measured it would read off the scale's highest limit. The answer is NO

You are right. I think it's more reliable to use calibration weight. However, I did not use it since I am not a professional baker.

Yes it does, and once calibrated it is quite accurate. I would advise getting a calibration weight if you don't have one.

It will stay set for grams... What ever weight measurment type you used when you turn it off will be teh one it starts up with. It also sets itself off if you don't use.. Good little unit.

Its always best to calibrate to a known weight. I did not have any known weights, so I calibrated it to zero (ie no weight). For my purposes, this was sufficient.
