do you have to calibrate this unit?

There is no initial calibration needed and I don't find anything regarding instructions on how to calibrate it should there be the need to in the future. I am assuming that since it works as most digital scales do, measuring changes in electrical resistance distributed to load cells, calibration is performed at the factory and would need to be performed by the factory in the future if there was a need to do so. I have had other digital scales which operated the same way and lasted for many years. It measures the same as a mechanical scale I have so I believe it is accurate from the factory. The only way to tell for sure is to locate a standard and periodically check to ensure it is calibrated against that standard.

The only calibration I have seen happens during each power-on. The directions ask for a vial of clear pool water and it self calibrates.

Yes it does once it is calibrated you can also use the setup on reciever and manually change any settings.

No. You can check the accuracy with a 50 kg weight, but you need 1000 kg to calibrate.

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

It is factory calibrated at the time of manufacture. If you need current calibration that must be done when purchased. Some retailers offer calibration for an extra fee or you can send it out to your local calibration shop.

Hi Jim, no it does not, as it comes calibrated. We can ship one out tomorrow if you decide you need one of these. Thanks, Ron

Hi Zitch I just look up the operating instructions on line and it does not indicate that you can calibrate this gauge. I have checked mine against a few manual gauges and it was very accurate. Hope this helps. Dave.

As I recall the calibrates when you tap the platform with your foot and let it settle. You need to do this whenever the unit is moved.

It did not need calibration although I did check to make sure it was correct when I received it. I have owned it for over a year now and I keep it turned off when not using it so the batteries are still strong. I did not buy an adapter. I truly love mine. As I get older, it gets harder and harder to see, so having the weight displayed right up close is wonderful. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Yes because the device calibrates it to match a standard calibration. So what you see is what other's see when they have also calibrated. Therefore it will calibrate them all to the same standard.

Yes it does have to be programmed, the description lists it as "not calibrated"

No does not require calibration. I compared with another scale and it was accurate.

According to directions it is well calibrated before shipment and recommends recalibration cycle of one year. Directions tell you how to recalibrate. Seems to be working for me/

Calibrate it with a 7.0 calibration solution. I also recommend storing it in their storage solution. Be sure to read the manual or you may make incorrect assumptions about certain things.

I am not sure what you mean by calibrate, but it may require some adjustment to be perfectly sighted in at your desired distance. It includes tools for making the adjustments and some rudimentary instructions.

It does not need calibration but you must let it stay in soil undisturbed for minimum of 5 minutes until it displays final PH reading and the PH range is less than 5 and above 7
