PALMSCALE 5.0 ADVANCED PROGRAMMING & REPAIR

PALMSCALE 6.0 REPROGRAMMING:

These instructions are only for Palmscale 5.0. Your box should say "Palmscale 5.0" and your quick user
guide (inside the cover of the scale) should say "Palmscale 5.0".

Pre-read this entire section before you begin. These instructions should only to be used if you changed
the settings in your Palmscale by accident, or if your scale is showing ERR, or if it is giving false or
inaccurate readings. Follow these instructions to reset the scale and change the settings back to the
correct settings This is not an easy procedure and must only be done if necessary.

In Programming mode pressing the MODE key will increase the blinking number, Pressing the TARE key
will shift the blinking number to the next line. If you press the MODE key it simply increases the number.
So if the blinking number is 1 and you press the MODE key, it will increase that number to 2. The TARE
key shifts the blinking digit to the next line.

PALMSCALE "Last Ditched Effort" REPAIR GUIDE:
This is an extremely advanced repair guide for the Palmscale. These instructions are only to be used if
you are absolutely sure your scale is "beyond repair" and you would like to make a last ditched effort to
get it working again. It can only be used for scale problems caused by shock or overload that bends the
load cell too far down.

1. Turn the scale ON. "Err" may appear. Just turn it on anyway.

2. Follow the instructions above to get to the gravitational random number.

3. If the random number is higher than 1000, that means the load cell has been overloaded. You

can try prying up on the tray until the random number (the AD Value) changes to a number
lower then 1000 (ie 500 or 800). Basically you're bending the load cell back upwards trying to
get the scale to come back to use.

4. Turn the scale OFF (or follow the instructions above to complete the advanced calibration.

5. Proceed to recalibrate the scale and hopefully it will work fine.

Please email us to let us know if these instructions have worked for you or if you found some other way
to get your scale working again.
