On calibration complete, the indicator will reboot and return to general weighing mode. If there’s an error occurred in calibration, the message “CAL.Er” is displayed. Repeat steps 5 to 9 to adjust the calibration points.

Service Configuration Menus
The scale is configured from the factory to match the specified settings for each unit, as defined by the product specifications and sales brochure. Modification of the SBI 210-LCD Indicator settings can be accomplished by altering the configuration settings in the Config Menu. The configuration and test of your scale should be accomplished by a trained service technician.

Configuration Options

• Press and hold the HOLD key then turn the indicator on by pressing the ZERO/ON/OFF keys.
• Release the ZERO/ON/OFF key when the display lights.
• Release the HOLD key when the message “CONFIG” pops up to open the Configuration Menu.

The number of time that the indicator has been configured is displayed. Navigate the menu using the keys, press the TARE key to confirm or the ZERO/ON/OFF key to cancel the operation / exit the menu.
