Quick Start Guide

Initial Setup
1. Remove the scale from packaging and install the included CR2032 battery in the battery compartment
2. Place the scale on a stable, level surface away from vibrations and air currents
3. Press the power button and wait for the display to show “0.00”
4. Press the tare button to ensure zero reading before first use

Basic Operation
1. Select desired units using the unit button (g, oz, ct, or dwt)
2. Place the item to be weighed gently on the center of the platform
3. Wait for the reading to stabilize (indicated by a stable display)
4. Record the measurement and remove the item

Using the Tare Function
1. Place an empty container on the platform
2. Press the tare button to zero out the container weight
3. Add material to the container and read the net weight
4. Remove all items and press tare again to return to absolute zero

Calibration Procedure
1. Ensure the scale is warmed up and displays zero
2. Press and hold the calibration button until “CAL” appears
3. Place the 50g calibration weight on the platform when prompted
4. Wait for confirmation and remove the calibration weight
5. The scale will return to normal weighing mode

Calibration and Maintenance

Calibration Frequency
Calibrate monthly for regular use or before critical measurements to ensure continued accuracy. Environmental changes, frequent transport, or heavy use may require more frequent calibration.

Calibration Weight Selection
Use a certified 50g calibration weight for optimal results. NIST-traceable calibration weights provide the highest accuracy verification and are recommended for professional applications.

Cleaning and Care
Clean the platform with a soft brush or cloth to remove residue. Avoid liquids near the electronic components. Use compressed air to remove particles from the weighing platform crevices.

Storage Guidelines
Store in a protective case when not in use to prevent damage to the sensitive load cell. Avoid extreme temperatures, humidity, and shock during storage and transport.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Drifting readings typically indicate the need for calibration or an unstable surface. Inconsistent measurements may result from air currents, vibrations, or low battery. Replace the battery when the low battery indicator appears or readings become erratic.

Technical Deep Dive

Load Cell Technology
The Bullet scale utilizes strain gauge load cell technology, which measures the deformation of a metal element under weight. This system provides excellent accuracy and repeatability while maintaining durability and stability over time. The load cell design offers superior performance compared to spring-based mechanisms in maintaining calibration and providing consistent readings.

Durability and Protection
The stainless steel platform resists corrosion and provides easy cleaning while the internal overload protection prevents damage from excessive weight. The compact design incorporates shock absorption to protect the sensitive measurement components during transport and daily use.

Accuracy Considerations
Environmental factors such as temperature changes, air currents, and vibrations can affect measurement accuracy. The scale performs optimally in stable conditions between 50°F and 85°F with minimal air movement and vibration.

Comparison Guidance

When selecting a precision pocket scale, consider these key factors:

Accuracy vs. Capacity Trade-off
The Bullet’s 500g capacity with 0.01g readability provides an excellent balance for most applications. Higher precision scales (0.001g) typically have lower capacity limits, while higher capacity scales often sacrifice precision.

Platform Size Considerations
The 2.5″ × 2.5″ platform accommodates most containers and items while maintaining portability. Consider your typical container sizes when comparing platform dimensions across models.

Calibration Requirements
External calibration provides superior accuracy control compared to internal calibration systems, though it requires separate calibration weights. This trade-off ensures long-term measurement reliability.
