Note: RD-1000 can only be calibrated in kg., not lb. Use the "UNITS" button after calibration to display in lb. If you only have lb. weights, convert kg and enter the kg values in RD-1000.
(Note: FUN key behaves like ENTER key most of the time, TARE key behaves like the UP,DOWN keys, and the ZERO key behaves like the LEFT,RIGHT keys)
| Action | DISPLAY |
| After connecting the load cell, power cycle the RD-1000 | |
| While the display is counting down 9..8..7 etc press the ZERO key | F1 CL(ocK) |
| Keep pressing Tare key to go to F7 | F7 CAL(ibrate) |
| Press FUN, UNIT, ZERO, TARE in quick succession |
If display is P1 - - - then it means the unit requires a password. Some models need this. The default password is 0000. Just use the ZERO and TARE keys to move left-right and up-down and enter 0000, then press FUN. The display should now show P1 SP (Some units do not require a password and straightaway show P1 SP in this step) |
| First, make sure the unit is set to kg. Keep pressing tare to go to P13 | P13 UT (Unit) |
| Press FUN to see the units |
UT kg or UT lb Press the TARE button to set UT kg (if not in kg already) Press FUN to accept kg Now you will see LB ON or LB OFF. Use the TARE key to set LB ON then FUN key to accept Next you will see user defined units UT1, UT2 etc. These options can be ignored Keep pressing FUN key till you get to P13 UT |
| Keep pressing TARE key to go to P5 | P5 DEC(imals) |

Press FUN and then TARE to select no of decimal digits (0, 0.0, 0.00 etc) Note: Once calibrated decimal display cannot/should not be changed during operation. |

|
| Press FUN to accept the entered capacity | P6 CAP(acity) |

Make sure there is no load and press FUN |
Display will show show some numbers. XXXX Use ZERO and TARE keys to specify the calibration load. For ex if you are calibrating a 100 kg load cell with a 50 kg weight, then P6 CAP above should be 100 and you should enter 50 in this step |
|
Press FUN after you place the test load. |
At this point calibration is complete. You may hear a beep and the display may show F4 ERR briefly. Don’t panic. It should then display the calibration load, for example 50 in this case. |
