1. Placement: Place the stylus gauge flat directly on top of the record player turntable platter. Ensure the environment is completely stable, level, and free of vibration.
2. Power On: Press the power button to switch on the scale. The unit calibrates automatically every time it boots up.
3. Tare (Optional): If the scale does not display absolute zero, press the TARE button at any time to clear out residual weight measurements.
4. Measurement: Carefully lower the tonearm to land the stylus directly in the center of the round scaling zone. The screen will instantly display your pick-up arm's tracking weight.
5. Unit Selection: If the scale is displaying the wrong metric, tap the UNIT button repeatedly to toggle back to grams

 

 

 

How to Operate

1. Place the stylus gauge directly on your record player's turntable platter.
2. Press the power button to turn on the scale; it will calibrate automatically upon startup.
3. Use the TARE button if you need to reset the scale to 0 at any time.
4. Lower the turntable stylus gently into the center of the round weighing area to read the pick-up arm weight.
5. Press the UNIT button repeatedly to toggle between measurement units

 

Usage Precautions

• Keep Distances: Avoid using mobile phones within 50 cm of the scale while operating it, as cellular wireless signals can cause electromagnetic interference and skew your readings.
• Protect the Sensor: Avoid impacting or pressing aggressively on the weighing pallet. Overloading the physical platform past its maximum capacity can permanently warp or damage the internal precision sensor.
