what size weights do you need to calibrate this unit?

I'm pretty sure there's no way to recalibrate it. If there is, it isn't mentioned in the manual. Basically, Escali is saying that some of their scales have a calibration feature (I don't think this model does though). For the scales without a calibration feature, you could buy a reference weight to see how accurate the scale is (that's a weight that is guaranteed to weigh a certain amount, within a specified tolerance), but after you figured that out, there's no way to calibrate the scale to correct for the discrepancy. (For the record, mine has been plenty accurate for anything I've used it for. I haven't used a reference weight to check its accuracy or anything, but I haven't ran into any recipes that needed a super-high degree of accuracy anyway.)

I thought it could be calibrated but the web site said this ... "Only certain Escali scales can be calibrated, please see specific product specifications for more details. Most other Escali scales do not need to be calibrated, accuracy is guaranteed out of the box." The user guide (which can be downloaded as a .pdf) for the all plastic Primo doesn't mention calibration. The Website FAQ is ... http://www.escali.com/FAQ. You can always buy a calibration weight of some size less than the scale's max. capacity to VERIFY the scale's accuracy, but the scale can't be RECALIBRATED if it doesn't have that function.

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.

Hi to zero scale use the little wheel under the round Dial. adjust it every time u use it if u need accurate daily weights

Hiyou will need both weights to calibrate this scale (200gram and 500grams). I have a set of labotory weights, so I am able to varify this scales accuracy. I use it daily. It has never been off by more then 0.03grams. Not bad for a 500g x 0.01g scale which cost me less then twenty dollars. I spent around two hundred for my weights alone.I think you will like this scale. P.S. When my scale arrived it was. accurate plus or minus 0.02grams.good luck, have fun. George D. 3-6-14 3:21pm

Mine is not calibrated and is way off. They expect me to find a 5 lb. weight somewhere in order to calibrate the item.

I tested the scale with 1 sheet of 8.5x11 of paper. It did not show any measurement. With two sheets it read .006kg and .2oz, with three sheets .0010kg and .3 oz, hope that helps. The scale will calibrate and zero itself every time you turn it on. I'm happy with my purchase. I measure letters and packages on it.

I believe the scale would be inch pounds, I just multiply / divide by 12 as required and note that the 250 inch pound variation is equivalent to just over 20 foot pounds. There is also a metric scale as well. Look for other versions listed, some variations are scaled in foot pounds and make sure you get one that covers the max torque you might need. I purchased both 3/8 and 1/2 drive versions and have been very happy with them. Note, make sure you set them back to minimum torque values during storage to keep the calibration.

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

3" x 5" x .75". Scale comes with a weight that can be used to calibrate at any time.

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.

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.

I received model ACPro-200. It only required the 200 calibration weight. The calibration process never asked for the 100 calibration weight. I noticed in the reviews that AWS must have updated their hardware sometime in 2015, as many of those reviewers also state that their system never asked for the 100 calibration weight, only the 200. Save $5 and skip the 100 calibration weight.

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

The maximum weight is 20 graims. Place the two supplied 10 graim weights and calibrate. If you need more accuracy buy an expensive scale. This is a great accurate scale for the price.

No this scale is too small for packages. Also regardless of the scale you decide to buy make sure you buy the tools for calibration such as the weight units

Hi dhc, No, the basic weight calibration cannot be altered. However, with this scale, once you set up your user profile, it will take your initial weight. You can set up the scale to go into what is called "Weightless" mode. This means that instead of your actual weight, it will show you +2, -4, etc from your initial weigh in. If you have any other questions or would like clarification on Weightless mode, feel free to contact us at info@greatergoods.com or call us at 866.991.8494 from 9 am - 5 pm central time. Thanks, Nick
