Frequently Asked Questions - 1052 SALTER

How do I change the battery on my Salter 1052 scale?

Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale. Slide the cover off, remove the old CR2032 battery, and insert a new one with the positive side facing up. Close the cover securely.

Why does my scale display 'Err' or 'Overload'?

The 'Err' or 'Overload' message appears when the weight exceeds the maximum capacity of 5 kg (11 lb). Remove the excess weight immediately to avoid damaging the scale.

How do I switch between grams and ounces?

Press the UNIT button (usually marked 'MODE' or 'UNIT') to cycle through available units: g, kg, lb, oz, ml, fl.oz. The selected unit will appear on the display.

What does the 'LO' message mean?

The 'LO' message indicates a low battery. Replace the CR2032 battery with a new one. If the problem persists, check the battery contacts for corrosion.

How do I use the tare function?

Place an empty container on the scale and press the TARE (or ZERO) button. The display will reset to zero. Then add ingredients to the container; the scale will show only the net weight.

How accurate is the Salter 1052?

The scale has a readability of 1 g (0.1 oz) and an accuracy of ±1 g for weights up to 5 kg. For best results, use on a flat, stable surface and avoid drafts.

Can I weigh liquids directly on the scale?

Yes, you can weigh liquids using the ml and fl.oz units, but these are based on water density. For other liquids, use the tare function with a container and weigh in grams or ounces.

How do I clean the scale?

Wipe the platform and body with a damp cloth and mild detergent if needed. Do not immerse the scale in water or use abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the electronics.

Tare Operation

You may wish to weigh ingredients a bowl or other container (not included). In this case, you will need to take, or offset, the weight of the bowl so that only the weight of the ingredients is displayed.

Once the correct amount of rice is weighed, press "ON-TARE" until the display is reset to zero. Add the 12 lbs of beans. Both ingredients have been accurately weighed in the same bowl.
