AT-500 Manual
Thank you for purchasing the American Weigh AT-500 digital scale. Please read
all operating instructions carefully before use. This electronic scale is a
precision instrument. With normal care and proper treatment, it will provide
years of reliable service. Never load the scale with more than the maximum
capacity. Overloading will permanently damage it!
Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your scale works better when
operated at normal room temperature. Always allow the scale to acclimate to
normal room temperature for at least one hour before use.
Give your scale sufficient warm up time. Usually 30-60 seconds before
calibration to give the internal components a chance to stabilize. Keep your
scale in a clean environment. Dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents
and a close distance to other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse
effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale. Handle with care. Gently
apply all items to be weighed onto tray top. Although this scale is designed
to be quite durable, try to avoid rough treatment as this may permanently
damage the internal sensor. Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the
scale. This is a precision instrument and must be handled with extreme care.
Only operate the scale on a stable, vibration free surface.
OPERATION
Place Scale on a horizontal flat surface and remove the metal ash tray cover before weighing.
- Press the [ON/OFF] key.

- Press and hold the [CAL] key until the display shows “CAL”. Now release the key.
- The display will flash “0.0g”. Ensure that no weight is on the scale and press the [CAL] button to calibrate the zero point of the scale.

- The display will show “PASS”. Calibration is complete!
TROUBLESHOOTING
The primary reasons for inaccuracy or malfunction are low batteries, incorrect

This scale is a precise instrument and must be handled with the utmost care
and caution.
