Questions and Answers

    Why are my OHAUS Scales giving an incorrect weight reading?
    • J
      jeffrey97Aug 17, 2025
      An incorrect weight reading may occur if the balance was not tared before weighing. Press the >O/T< button with no weight on the pan, then weigh the item. It could also be caused by the balance being out of level, so adjust the leveling feet. Finally, the balance may not be properly calibrated, so recalibrate it correctly.

    What to do if I experience unstable readings on my OHAUS Scales?
    • D
      danielle76Aug 22, 2025
      Unstable readings can occur due to several factors: * Vibration on the table surface. Check environmental conditions. * Open draft shield doors. Close the draft shield doors. * Averaging level set too low. Change the averaging level to a higher setting. * Balance not on a stable surface. Place the balance on a stable surface.
