How is this scale re-calibrated?

I did not know for sure myself, so I contacted the manufacturer. They got back to me within a day by the way, very fast. I was told that these particular scales have no need to be recalibrated. They were very concerned why I was asking and asked if I was having problems with it. I told them no just wanted to know how to recalibrate it. If I was having problems with it they were quickly going to replace it. I was impressed, seem to be a good company that is wanting to make sure their customers are happy.

This takes place when it is zeroed/tared. This is a digital device. The firmware does the work.

I don't believe the machine can be calibrated, at least I haven't noticed an option. Also the readings are not always consistent if you take a few back to back. Have others noticed this?

Calibration certificate is a question for the manufacturer, however, you could go to a local independent certification vendor or send it to a business, such as Rice Lake who does these certifications. The scale is a rather inexpensive model ...and if I didn't need a calibration certificate, I would do my own calibration - using several other scales, and documenting the results, on a regular basis

Thank you for your message John. I would like to direct you to Health-O-Meter to answer your question regarding the calibration process. Their Tech Support division can be reached at 800-638-3722. They can assist you regarding any questions you may have on recalibration. The scale can be used on carpet, but I would recommend placing something underneath the scale to stabilize it like a piece of plywood. Please let me know if you need any additional assistance. Thank you very much!

According to the User Manual, the scale can be calibrated. We have tried the feature, just for fun, and by using a 100 g. weight, it gets calibrated automatically. Simple to follow instructions.

I just added a scan of the instructions to Amazon. It may be hard to read, but if you flip the scale over, there is a switch to the right for adjustments. Hope this helps.

Mine arrived perfectly ready to go. No calibration needed. Great scale. Works perfectly for my needs and looks sleek and modern.

The scale is self-calibrating (simply step on ,off and on again). It needs to be on a level hard floor (not carpeted). It is more accurate and consistent than several previous scales that we owned (both digital and analog). If it not as described, the unit might be defective. You can talk to customers' service which is supposed to be excellent per other veviewers.

These weights are used by individual users to verify the scale's accuracy. If found to be inaccurate, then the scales need to be returned to the manufacturer (or authorized service) for re-calibration/repair. Most of today's scales aren't able, or aren't economical to repair.

It's my understanding that if you move the scale you need to recalibrate it. That, if I remember, involved stepping on it and then stepping off. It think as with any device or instrument of this kind the less it gets moved the better.

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

I have had no problem with it. I would try recalibrating one more time and if that does not work, call the manufacturer. I saw where many people who did previous reviews called the manufacturer, and received excellent results. As an aside, I use this scale and it as accurate as the physicians.

Unfortunately - no. It is so accurate because it is so sensitive. You need to find a flat place to keep it permanently - although it can be reset whenever you move it. It seems like a drag, but the other wonderful aspects of this scale far outweigh this one inconvenience.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer. I have only had the scale for 3 or 4 months and have not needed to reset it yet. If I can find my instruction book, I will look in there and will try to find the answer for you.

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/

I answered this incorrectly before. It seems when the scale is moved it does need to be re-calibrated so to speak. It won't be accurate at first weigh, but get on it again and it will weigh correctly.

Hi Robert, I do not know whether the scale can be re-calibrated. I ship my packages through the USPS and deliver them to the local post office for shipment. At that time they weigh the package for my receipt and one of the clerks always remarks that my weights are spot on. At home, I take care of the scale as far as storage is concerned and treat it as a delicate instrument. You will have to contact Pelouze for advice on how/if the unit may be calibrated. I have one of their smaller scales and the lower weights are identical. Hope this helps. Peter
