HOW TO USE THE PARTS COUNTING FEATURE
1) To set your balance to parts counting mode, scroll through the
weighing modes by pressing the CAL/MODE keypad until a down
facing arrow appears in the lower left corner on the display. The
minimum parts quantity number (5) will also be displayed as a
flashing number.
2) Continue to press the CAL/MODE keypad to select the desired
parts counting unit: 5, 10, 25, 50 pieces. After "50" is dis-
played, the indicator will scroll back to the gram weighing mode.
3) With the selected parts counting unit still flashing, place the
desired sample on the weighing pan. Allow the sample to stabilize
for 3-5 seconds then press OFF. The parts counting function is now
set for the selected 5, 10, 25, 50 piece quantity.
IMPORTANT: Minimum individual (1 piece) part weight must be
greater than or equal to 5X "D" ("D" is the division or graduation of
the balance). If the sample unit weight for one piece is less than 5X
"D" the display will read "Er 1", indicating that the individual
(1 piece) part weight is too low and must be increased. To reset,
press CAL/MODE and scroll through the weighing modes again to the
desired parts counting value. Refer to the following chart for mini-
mum unit part weight (1 piece) for your particular balance.

Because the SV-Series is designed to be a heavy capacity balance,
minimal initial loads may not produce a response from the balance.
The minimum initial increment applied to each model should be 50
grams or more. Initial weighing loads may not produce the minimum
excitation voltage to produce weight readings.

Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your balance
works best when operated within the temperature limits listed in
the specifications. Always allow the unit to acclimate to a stable
temperature before calibration.
Allow at least 30 minutes of warm up time before starting cali-
bration to give internal components sufficient time to stabilize.
Keep your operating environment as clean as possible.
Electrostatic fields, gravitational fields, dust, dirt, moisture, vibra-
tion, air currents, and proximity to other electronic equipment
can all have an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of
your unit.
Handle with care. Carefully set weighing pan onto top of unit
until level. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto the center
of the weighing pan. Although designed to be quite durable,
avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the
internal sensor.

All Scales are factory tested and calibrated prior to shipping. How-
ever, an external calibration is recommended upon the initial scale
setup, after the scale has been moved, or after the scale has been
subjected to an extreme change in temperature. Perform the de-
scribed calibration procedure AFTER the scale has been allowed to
warm up, approximately 30 min. In addition to the intial setup
calibration, the factory recommends to recalibrate the scale periodic-
ally for optimum perfomance. Use Class F weights or other equivalent
class weights.

Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your balance
works best when operated within the temperature limits listed in
the specifications. Always allow the unit to acclimate to a stable
temperature before calibration.
Allow at least 30 minutes of warm up time before starting cali-
bration to give internal components sufficient time to stabilize.
Keep your operating environment as clean as possible.
Electrostatic fields, gravitational fields, dust, dirt, moisture, vibra-
tion, air currents, and proximity to other electronic equipment
can all have an adverse effect on the reliability and accuracy of
your unit.
Handle with care. Carefully set weighing pan onto top of unit
until level. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto the center
of the weighing pan. Although designed to be quite durable,
avoid rough treatment as this may permanently damage the
internal sensor.

the type of AC Adapter provided. CAUTION: Use only a 12V
Adapter with a negative tip, as provided, to supply AC power.
Use of another type of adapter may permanently damage the
unit and will void the warranty.
2) Insert the female plug into the receptacle at the rear of the unit,
and then into the desired electrical outlet. Check your use of any
extension cord which may affect power output. Unplug AC
adapter when not in use for extended periods.

All Scales are factory tested and calibrated prior to shipping. How-
ever, an external calibration is recommended upon the initial scale
setup, after the scale has been moved, or after the scale has been
subjected to an extreme change in temperature. Perform the de-
scribed calibration procedure AFTER the scale has been allowed to
warm up, approximately 30 min. In addition to the intial setup
calibration, the factory recommends to recalibrate the scale periodic-
ally for optimum perfomance. Use Class F weights or other equivalent
class weights.

HOW TO USE THE PARTS COUNTING FEATURE
1) To set your balance to parts counting mode, scroll through the
weighing modes by pressing the CAL/MODE keypad until a down
facing arrow appears in the lower left corner on the display. The
minimum parts quantity number (5) will also be displayed as a
flashing number.
2) Continue to press the CAL/MODE keypad to select the desired
parts counting unit: 5, 10, 25, 50 pieces. After "50" is dis-
played, the indicator will scroll back to the gram weighing mode.
3) With the selected parts counting unit still flashing, place the
desired sample on the weighing pan. Allow the sample to stabilize
for 3-5 seconds then press OFF. The parts counting function is now
set for the selected 5, 10, 25, 50 piece quantity.
IMPORTANT: Minimum individual (1 piece) part weight must be
greater than or equal to 5X "D" ("D" is the division or graduation of
the balance). If the sample unit weight for one piece is less than 5X
"D" the display will read "Er 1", indicating that the individual
(1 piece) part weight is too low and must be increased. To reset,
press CAL/MODE and scroll through the weighing modes again to the
desired parts counting value. Refer to the following chart for mini-
mum unit part weight (1 piece) for your particular balance.

Because the SV-Series is designed to be a heavy capacity balance,
minimal initial loads may not produce a response from the balance.
The minimum initial increment applied to each model should be 50
grams or more. Initial weighing loads may not produce the minimum

HOW TO USE THE PARTS COUNTING FEATURE
1) To set your balance to parts counting mode, scroll through the
weighing modes by pressing the CAL/MODE keypad until a down
facing arrow appears in the lower left corner on the display. The
minimum parts quantity number (5) will also be displayed as a
flashing number.
2) Continue to press the CAL/MODE keypad to select the desired
parts counting unit: 5, 10, 25, 50 pieces. After "50" is dis-
played, the indicator will scroll back to the gram weighing mode.
3) With the selected parts counting unit still flashing, place the
desired sample on the weighing pan. Allow the sample to stabilize
for 3-5 seconds then press OFF. The parts counting function is now
set for the selected 5, 10, 25, 50 piece quantity.
IMPORTANT: Minimum individual (1 piece) part weight must be
greater than or equal to 5X "D" ("D" is the division or graduation of
the balance). If the sample unit weight for one piece is less than 5X
"D" the display will read "Er 1", indicating that the individual
(1 piece) part weight is too low and must be increased. To reset,
press CAL/MODE and scroll through the weighing modes again to the
desired parts counting value. Refer to the following chart for mini-
mum unit part weight (1 piece) for your particular balance.

Because the SV-Series is designed to be a heavy capacity balance,
minimal initial loads may not produce a response from the balance.
The minimum initial increment applied to each model should be 50
grams or more. Initial weighing loads may not produce the minimum
excitation voltage to produce weight readings.
