Woodstock Guardian - 100g X 0.01g

The Woodstock Guardian's technical specs provide a smart balance of precision, portability, and durability. Each feature is chosen to deliver trusted performance for years.

Every feature of the Woodstock Guardian scale is designed to make weighing simple and accurate. The tare function lets you zero out the weight of a container with one press, ensuring you only measure the contents. This is vital when using a tray.

The scale also supports six units of measurement (g, oz, ozt, dwt, ct, gn), making it useful for everything from jewelry to kitchen ingredients. To save power, an auto-off feature turns the scale off after a short period of inactivity. Finally, the hard protective cover clicks securely into place, preventing accidental pressure on the weighing platform during storage.

Choosing the right digital scale depends on your main need: precision, capacity, or budget. The Woodstock Guardian excels at providing high precision in a portable and affordable package. Here is how it stacks up against other common types of scales in this price range.

A scale with 0.01g readability is essential when even small variations in weight matter. This precision makes the Woodstock Guardian a versatile tool for many different users.

• Herbs and Botanicals: Get consistent and accurate amounts every time, preventing waste of expensive materials.
• Jewelry and Gemstones: Perfect for weighing precious metals and stones, using units like carats (ct) or pennyweight (dwt).
• Coins: Collectors can check a coin's weight against official specifications to help verify its authenticity.
• Kitchen and Coffee: Measure yeast, spices, or coffee beans with expert precision for repeatable results in baking or brewing.

What Is The Pre-Weigh Checklist For Best Results?

For accurate results every time, just follow this simple checklist. Taking a moment to prepare your space and the scale helps prevent common errors.

1. Find a Stable Surface: Place the scale on a flat, level, and vibration-free surface.
2. Check Power: Make sure fresh AAA batteries are installed correctly.
3. Power On & Stabilize: Turn the scale on and let it warm up for 30 seconds to adjust.
4. Confirm Zero: The display should read "0.00". If not, press the Tare button to zero it out.
5. Use a Tray: If using a container, place it on the scale and press Tare to subtract its weight.
6. Weigh Item: Gently place your item in the center of the platform for the most accurate reading.

How Do You Calibrate This Scale With A 100G Weight?

Calibrating your scale from time to time helps maintain its accuracy. You will need a 100g calibration weight (sold separately) for this process. Only calibrate if you notice readings are off.

1. Prepare the Scale: Turn on the scale and let it stabilize on a level surface.
2. Enter Calibration Mode: Press and hold the "M" (Mode) button until the display shows "CAL".
3. Confirm Weight Requirement: Release the button. The display will flash the weight needed, which is "100.00".
4. Place the Weight: Carefully put a 100g weight on the center of the platform and wait.
5. Confirm and Finish: The display will show "PASS" and return to the normal weighing mode. Remove the weight. Your scale is now calibrated.

Proper care will extend the life of your Woodstock Guardian and keep it accurate. Always store the scale with its protective cover closed to shield the sensor from dust and pressure. Clean the weighing platform with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners, which can damage the surface.

If you see the numbers on the screen drifting, first check that the scale is on a stable surface away from drafts. If the issue continues after recalibration, try replacing the batteries. For long-term storage, it's best to remove the batteries to prevent damage from leaks.
