Bobbin Tension

Bernina Aurora 440 QE.I once had a technician show me how to set the tension on a bobbin by hanging the bobbin by the thread and if it didn't drop the tension was not too loose. He then added a weight which caused the bobbin to drop saying that if it didn't the tension was too tight. I don't remember the amount of the weight. My question is what is the amount of the weight?

The tension setting section of the manual here https://www.helpowl.com/manuals/Bernina/Aurora440QE/118041 should be able to assist.
