Calibrating the Scale

In the event that the scale loses accuracy , recalibration may be required if the load
cell of the scale is overloaded due to dropping something heavy on the scale or
dropping it.

NOTE: Normally the scale does not require calibration. You require a 100 gram, and
two 1 kilogram weights to perform the calibration – if you do not have these calibration
weights, please do not attempt to calibrate the scale.

Going to the Calibration Mode

1) Remove the weight from the platform (if any), and switch the scale OFF.

2) While pressing “FRANK LABEL” key, press and release “ON/OFF/TARE” key.

3) Press “1” key to calibrate the scale.

4) Now the scale is in “Calibration Mode”, and the LCD will display “0kg Press
FkLtr” on the first line and “ XXXX” on the second line where XXX is
around 2500.

4) When the number XXXX display is stable, press the “Frank Letter” key to
confirm.

5) At this moment the display will read “100g Press FrkLtr”. Repeat step 4 for
1kg and 2kg weights. The scale will restart and is ready for weighing and
assessing postal rates.

Setting Franking Machine Options

To set the default franking machine, turn off the scale first. While pressing

“FRANK LABEL” key, press and release “ON/OFF/TARE” key. Press “2” key to set
the default franking machine type. Then choose the desired franking machine as
displayed on the LCD.

Displaying the Serial Number of the PS2000 UK Scale
To display the 8-digit serial number of the scale, turn off the scale first. While

pressing “EURO AIRMAIL LETTERS” key, press and release “ON/OFF/TARE” key.
The serial number will be displayed on the LCD. Press “ON/OFF/TARE” key to
restart scale or wait for it to start automatically.
