 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
All safety messages are identified by the following, “WARNING” or
“CAUTION”, of ANSI Z535.4 (American National Standard Institute:
Product Safety Signs and Labels). The meanings are as follows:

A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WARNING
could result in death or serious injury.
A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
CAUTION
may result in minor or moderate injury.

This manual is subject to change without notice at any time to improve the
product.
Product specifications are subject to change without any obligation on the
part of the manufacture.
When using the SJ-H, the following safety precautions should always be
followed.

WARNING Use only specified AC adapter for the scale. Other

adapter may cause damage (AC adapter is optional).
Internal service or adjustment to this product should be
performed by a qualified person.

CAUTION Avoid installing the scale in direct sunlight, which may cause
discoloration or malfunctions.
Avoid over and/or shock load that could cause damage to the
scale.
Avoid using the weighing pan to move the scale, as that
could cause damage to the scale.
Do not mix the type of batteries. Replace all other batteries at
the same time.
If the scale is not to be used for a long period of time, remove
all batteries from the battery room to avoid leakage.
The scale is not watertight and avoid exposure to water.

CAUTION
Take great care of the polarity of batteries. The polarity marks are
shown in the battery box.
Replace used batteries with four new ones when lb is displayed.

Battery cover

1 Slide the battery cover downward to open.

2 Push the battery box to unhook and pull it out.
3 Insert new four batteries (R20P / LR20 / D size) into the battery box, taking
extreme care of the polarities.
Batteries are not included with shipment.

Connecting an AC adapter (Optional) Open rubber cap.

The AC input requirement could be 100, 120 or
230 volts (50/60Hz) depending on the area where
used, so please verify that the adapter is correct.
Open the rubber cap and plug the AC adapter.

Setting up the Scale

AC adapter plug

Place the scale on the firm surface and adjust

the feet so that the sprit level shows the scale is
level for an accurate weighing.

 WEIGHING
Before Weighing
Automatic power-off function.
If the scale left ON and the stable indicator is displayed, an automatic
power-off function turns power off after approximately 5 minutes.
To disable/enable this function, turn the scale on while pressing the
[RE-ZERO] key. Then poff0 or poff1 will be displayed.
poff0 Function disabled. poff1 Function enabled.
Select the setting by pressing the [RE-ZERO] key which toggles the display
above, and press the [UNITS] key. The scale shows end and returns to the
weighing mode.
Error message
e Overload: remove excess load on the weighing platform.
----- The scale zero is out of zero range or unstable when powered
on. Make sure no load is on the weighing platform or nothing
touches the platform.
lb Low battery: replace the batteries or use the AC adapter.
Calibration may be required before weighing
Read “CALIBRATION” first and if necessary, calibrate your scale for
accurate weighing.

Weighing Procedures
1. Turn on the scale.
Press the [ON/OFF] key to turn on the scale. Then the scale displays all
segments for a few seconds and then 0 will be displayed.
2. Start weighing
If you do not use a container for weighing,
Verify the reading is 0 . If not, press the [RE-ZERO] key to display
0 . Place objects on the weighing platform to weigh. When the reading
becomes stable, the stable indicator is displayed.
If you use a container for weighing,
Place an empty container on the platform. Wait for the stable indicator to
be displayed and press the [RE-ZERO] key. Place the objects to be
weighed in the container. When the reading becomes stable, the stable
indicator is displayed.
Select the weighing unit
Press the [UNITS] key to select weighing unit either “(k)g”, “lb”, “oz” or
“lb-oz”. The scale will power up with the weighing unit that had been used
when turned off last time.

 CALIBRATION
When to Calibrate
Calibration may be required when it initially installed or it is moved a
substantial distance. Also periodical calibration will be recommended.

Calibration using a Calibration Weight Calibration switch

1. Enter calibration mode.
Press the [ON/OFF] key to turn the power off. While
pressing both the [RE-ZERO] and [UNITS] keys,
press the [ON/OFF] key. Cal will be displayed.
Or remove the calibration switch cover on the bottom
and press the calibration switch while in the weighing
mode. Then Cal will be displayed.
Calibration switch cover
2. Zero calibration
Press the [RE-ZERO] key to calibrate zero. Cal0 will be displayed.
Wait for the stable indicator to be displayed and press the [RE-ZERO] key.
Calf will be displayed in a few seconds. If the zero calibration only is to
be done, press the [UNITS] key. The scale will automatically return to the
weighing mode.
3. Span calibration
When Calf is displayed, place the weight at the center of the platform.
Wait for the stable indicator to be displayed, then press the [RE-ZERO] key.
The display will show end and the scale will automatically return to the
weighing mode. See “SPECIFICATIONS” about the calibration weight.

Calibration by Gravity Compensation

2
The scale is calibrated at 9.798 m/s at the factory. If the acceleration of
gravity at your location is not same and if you do not have calibration
weights, you can calibrate the scale by compensating the acceleration of
gravity. (Refer “The Value of Gravity at Various Locations”.)
1. Set a new acceleration value.
When Cal is displayed, press the [UNITS] key and 9.798 will be
displayed. Press the [RE-ZERO] key to increment the blinking digit and
press the [UNITS] key to move the blinking digit.
2. Store the value in memory.
While pressing the [UNITS] key, press and hold the [RE-ZERO] key and
release the [UNITS] key. Then the display will show end and return to
Cal . Turn the scale off to finish the procedure.
