FAQs

What is the maximum weight the TS-5000/1 can measure?

The Voltcraft TS-5000/1 can measure weights up to 5000 grams (or equivalent in ounces and pounds).

Can I switch between grams, ounces, and pounds?

Yes, the scale allows you to display the weight in grams (g), ounces (oz), or pounds (lb). Refer to the user manual for instructions on how to change units.

How does the tare function work?

Place an empty container on the scale, press the 'Tare' button to zero the display, then add the item you want to weigh. The scale will then show the net weight of the item only.

What happens if I exceed the maximum weight capacity?

If the weight exceeds the maximum capacity, the display will typically show an error message like 'Err' or 'O-Ld' (Overload) to indicate that the scale is overloaded and may be damaged.

How long does the battery last?

The scale comes with a long-life lithium battery. Exact battery life depends on usage, but the low battery indicator will alert you when it needs replacing.

Does the scale automatically turn off?

Yes, the scale automatically turns off after approximately 20 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery power.

Troubleshooting

Scale does not turn on

Ensure the battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Check for a low battery indicator.

Inaccurate weight readings

Place the scale on a flat, level surface. Ensure there are no vibrations or drafts affecting the measurement. Reset the scale by removing and reinserting the battery. Check for overload.

Display shows 'Err' or 'O-Ld'

The scale has been overloaded. Remove the item immediately to prevent damage. Do not exceed the 5000g limit.

Tare function not working correctly

Ensure the scale is zeroed before placing the container. Place the container on the scale, press tare, then add the item to be weighed.
