After 4 years mine now gives divergent readings - today 202.2, 204.0, 203.2. Why and what can I do about it?

In addition to info. below-- do remember that it will need to be recalibrated every time you move it--even if moving it a little. I think that means doing what K. Jackson, below, said to do. Good luck...

I have a feeling the longevity is around 4 years. Mine is also about 4 years old and I had an issue today where it was jumping around 0.6 for no reason... I imagine the sensors on the bottom get worn out. Not sure if a shot of WD-40 will make things better or worse.

Mine is new and giving repetitive, precise (accurate -- hoping?) readings so my experience would not help.

I have only just bought my scales Esther so cannot help but I suggest you write to the company you bought it from for their advice! That is what I would do:)

if you are stepping on it , getting off then back on and using the second reading,allowing auto cal,I don,t know.

My system is 14 years old so I replaced MB and transformer. Current limiter or K1 are usually the problem. I searched different sites and found great info for my salt system problems over the years.

Same problem here. I had it happen with two of the units over a 4 year period. Not going to fool me again.

My house is at 500ft. The watch reads 1457. I haven't calibrated it in a while but the temp is the same as the last time it was calibrated. It's not what you want.

You need to make sure the system is up to date. Mine did that at first and I realized it was not up to date.

I've noticed the same thing. Not sure why, but the readings seem pretty consistent over time so I think it's accurate.

It only shows the max value for each instantaneous moment in time. If you're not in "max mode", it will read each moment's value; hence, it fluctuates "changes too quickly" to get the general reading you may be looking for.

yes,but when you get into hundreths,(0.01) it only reads in 2 hundreths at a time....i.e. 0.02,0.04,0.06, etc.

Yes. But you will be better of calling the MFR and get the machine reset to give you just one reading. The time that lapses between the 3 reading is not enough to call it average.

I have the same problem with my 1690T. I updated the sw today and it seems to better.

I have found mine to be very accurate. Perhaps you did get a defective one and should ask for it to be replaced.

I have had mine up to 480 with no issues. I don't remember what the book said tho. Hope that helps!

The parameters are adjustable.l think mine came set at 1.2 max at the moment.There is also a graph showing a broader spectrum.Readings here are normally from .07 to .14,although l have detected some pasta products with slightly higher readings.There is a clicker which can be turned off,a reliability bar,color screen etc.A very nice instrument

I can't guess what is wrong. But I can tell you that I do not use it anymore because I found it to be totally unreliable. More often than not, I could not get a reading at all. I replaced it with the Omron HR210 which does a much better job.

I noticed the same thing, it reads higher than the bayer one I have also by 20 points. This meter is a piece of junk in my opinion, wastes lots of strips.

The MIN/MAX button on the right shows 3 temperatures, high for the day, low for the day and current. Maybe you need to push the button to get to the current indoor reading :o)

Hi Don... To get a fresh reading, set your Level on a flat surface. Set the Level by pushing the 'Zero' button, and It should read, '0.00'. Now it's ready for the surface you desire to work on. If reseting to, '0.00' fails, you may have to recalibrate your "Accuremote" settings, again.
