If you have purchased a retail scale, this type of scale requires significantly more setup than other scales, including configuring products, currency, label printing, etc. If you need assistance with the setup, please contact us. We will then do our best to assist you or connect you with the manufacturer, where you have the option to purchase direct setup support.
Please note that all setup instructions are always provided in the user manual.
It depends on which scale you have purchased or are planning to choose. Many of our scales offer different types of data output options. The vast majority of our scales come standard with RS232, but it is also possible to purchase scales with Bluetooth, Ethernet, WiFi, I/O, or USB connectivity.
We recommend contacting our customer service via chat (during opening hours), at Support@true-precision.co.uk, or by calling
01253 928009 if you need assistance choosing the right product to meet your connectivity requirements.
Please note: We cannot provide support for the technical setup between the scale/instrument and your internal system.
When a scale no longer shows the correct weight, there can be several causes and solutions. Here are some suggestions:
Calibration: All scales require calibration to ensure accuracy. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to calibrate the scale correctly. In most cases, incorrect weighing is caused by the need for calibration.
Check the surface: The scale must be placed on a stable and level surface for accurate measurement. Many scales come with adjustable feet and built-in spirit levels. Table or surface vibrations can affect results.
Inspect for damage: If the scale has been dropped or subjected to overload, this can affect the load cell.
Temperature effects: Extreme temperatures can impact the scale’s accuracy. Place the scale in a room with stable, normal temperature and avoid positioning it near radiators or in direct sunlight. The scale should also be protected from drafts caused by open windows or doors.
Electromagnetic fields / static charges: These can affect weighing results. Try placing the scale in a location where it is not influenced by static electricity.
If you have checked all of the above and the scale still does not show correct measurements, please contact us via chat (during opening hours), at support@true-precision.co.uk, or by calling01253 928009.

Typically, the battery will last for 50 hours after a full 12-hour charge. However, this 50-hour usage time will decrease over time, as batteries do not last forever.
Not everyone is aware of this and charges the battery every day, even after only a few hours of use. This quickly shortens the battery’s lifespan, as it should be charged from almost empty to full, rather than constantly from 80% to 100%. This rule applies not only to scales but is a general guideline for all batteries, such as your mobile phone.
