SETUP AND CALIBRATION
Your 204 indicator has been thoroughly tested and calibrated before being shipped to you. If
you receive the indicator attached to a scale, calibration is not necessary. If the indicator is

proceed as indicated.
Calibration of the 204 indicator is accomplished
entirely by the keypad. To enter the setup and

rear panel, see Figure No.8.

metallic tool into the screw hole and press the
calibration switch.
3. Press the ON/OFF key.
