I bought this. i like it a lot. It was fairly accurate with in 4% after "warm up period". I am curios though Does anyone know how to calibrate it?

Either send it to a calibration house... Or test rough accuracy - Buy preset torque wrenches (eg Ritchey 4Nm, 5Nm), tighten until it reaches the 4Nm limit, then try the Venzo at same torque. If the Venzo doesn't reach the limit is at torque or under. Then try the higher torque setting... And rinse repeat. Then tell us how it went! Usually the concern is applying too much torque at lighter range... And not enough at higher range.

Yes. Calibration is not a big deal. it is a matter of choosing a weight and a distance from the head and applying a simple formula. Simply do a web search for calibrating a torque wrench. There are multiple sites with detailed instructions.

I work in a back shop for SkyWest Airlines in Salt Lake City and we have a calibration shop and specialist that can calibrate the torque wrench for you at no cost. We have found that a lot of places that sale the cheaper torque wrenches will not calibrate. You would just need to pay for shipping and return postage. If you are interested in doing so send me an email at gators5967@gmail.com and we can make arrangements.

You do have to calibrate it and it's not easy to do. Mine finally calibrated and then broke after it fell due to the poor monting .

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

I have never calibrated mine and not sure how you would do it short of sending it back to factory. I have compared mine with several other test sets and also the system at my pool store and found it to be very accurate.

Calibrating does, indeed, help, and it's really easy to do (just follow the on-screen instructions). Out of the box, my kit was about 20% off from reality (on a 10K run, it was only showing 8K traveled). I used the local high school track to calibrate the kit by doing a measured 400m lap around the track, and now I'm within 1.25% of accurate measurement which is good enough for me (it's still showing on the low side). This last weekend's 5 mile race shows up as 4.94 miles on nikeplus.com, but that's good enough for me. Hope this helps you.

I calibrated mine using a iOne calibration tool, granted it wasn't off by much but i needed to calibrate based on a different gamma value than the 2.2

Maybe you have a defective one. I am on my second and calibrate using a pH 7 neutral solution. Using the screwdriver provided and the little screw on the back I have no problem moving it up or down. This is my second one and both worked flawlessly.

Yes that is why I bought it. However it has not worked yet. Have not had time to re calibrate sensitivity settings.

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.

I haven't done any calibration, but I've noticed that it doesn't show boiling water temperature correctly (it's about 2 degrees Celsius/3,5 Fahrenheit lower). Maybe it's because it was not a distilled water? To be honest I also don't know how it can be calibrated (if at all). So far I had no problems with this little inaccuracy either.

Very easy to use. Bought my first one a few weeks ago and love it. Mine actually came calibrated. Used a few drops or RO to test to make sure reading at zero and was good to go. .

I did check the accuracy with boiling water when I first got it. It was accurate to within 1°F as I recall, and didn't re-calibrate my unit. The unit has operated perfect for me. No complaints.

I've found it very accurate. As you dial in the temperature it displays and once set, the current temperature is displayed, a "heating" light comes on until it reaches the selected temp. It heats very quickly and holds within a few degrees during all operations that I've done. I've used it as high as 400 degrees with no issues.

Not sure about that Michael. Maybe someone else can respond to your question. I really don't think it would calibrate correctly.....just my opinion.

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.

It's very simple. Contact the factory, ship it to them, they ship it back. If they can't calibrate it they replace it. Each meter has a calibration date specific to that model.

I didn't calibrate mine. I haven't compared it with other thermometers, but it seems to be working just fine.
