 Posted: Sun Dec 12, 2004 3:06 am Post subject: My 200-Z Scale |
 |
|
| I recently puchased the 200-Z Scale to weigh fish hooks and it appears to function as intended however in order to calibrate the scale, a 200 gram weight is needed but not provided. I am disappointed that this information was not available until after I received the scale and read the directions. :( |

For clarification the My-Weigh 120z and 200z both require a 100g cal mass for calibration. The scales all come pre-calibrated from the factory.
The 200z page at RightOnScales.com clearly mentions the optional 100g cal mass, and it's offered to all customers when purchasing the scale.
The full scale manual is also available right form the 200z page which includes the full calibration instructions.
For those in a jam, or who forgot to purchase the cal mass, you can use 20 US nickles in place of the 100g mass, as each nickle weighs approx 5g each. |

| Can you use a 50g instead on the 200-Z? |

No, a 100g cal mass is required. Using anything other than a 100g during the re-calibration process will render your scale useless.
As mentioned above, you can also use U.S. nickles as a sub for a cal mass. Each nickle weighs 5 grams.
So if you have a 50g cal mass, you can also use 10 nickles along with the mass to get a total of 100 grams for the calibration. But we always suggest using a real 100g calibration mass whenever possible. Nickles, especially older dirty ones, can commonly weigh +/- the usual 5 grams.
