2.2 DISPLAY WIND WS
The Denomination window shows the current denomination that has been
selected, an arrow will indicate when the scale is at zero (ZERO) and when
the weight is stable (STAB) or if the scale has been tared (Net) and is
displaying a net weight.
The Quantity window displays the number of coins counted. An arrow will
show whether the weight of new style coins (NEW) or old style coins (OLD)
was used to count them.
The TOTAL window shows the value of the coins counted. An arrow will also
indicate when a value has been stored in memory (MEMORY).
2.3 KEY DESCRIPTI NS
The keypad has 20 keys. Other keypads may be used for different
counties or applications.

12 | P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2009
3.0 BASIC PERATI N
3.1 ZER ING THE DISPLAY
•Press the [Zero] key to set the zero point from which all other
weighing is measured. This will normally be done only when the
platform is empty. A new zero is set if the scale is already within
±2% of the original zero at power on.
•When the zero point is obtained the Denomination display will
show an arrow above the zero symbol (ZERO). This indicates the
scale is at the zero condition.
•The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for
minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform.
However you may need to press [Zero] to re-zero the scale
whenever a small amount of weight is shown even though the
platform is empty.
3.2 TARING
•Taring is used to eliminate the weight of a container so that only
the net weight is displayed.
•Zero the scale by pressing [Zero] if necessary. The zero indicator
will be on.
•Place an empty container on the platform, a value for its weight
will be displayed.
•Press [Tare] to zero the scale. The weight is stored as the tare
value. An arrow above the “Net” will be on.

13 | P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2009
•When both the product and container are removed the Quantity
and TOTAL display will show bars “- - - - -“ as the weight is below
zero.
•If a different container is to be used, remove this negative tare
value by pressing the [Tare] key once more.
•Any time the weight is negative, only bars will be shown in the
TOTAL display “- - - - - “.
3.3 C IN C UNTING
•To count coins simply place the coins in the container and press
the key corresponding to the value of the coin. The displays will
immediately show the denomination selected in the
Denomination window, the number of coins in the Quantity
window and the value of the coins in the TOTAL window.
•To change to Old or New types of coin, press the [New/Old] key.
Note an arrow in the Quantity window shows the selection.
•The Scale determines the weight of the coins and divided the
weight by the average weight for the denomination selected. This
determines the Quantity of coins. The total value is the quantity
multiplied by the denomination.
•As some coins have been redesigned the weight of the old style
may differ from the weight of the new style. Make sure you select
the correct coin style when counting.
•It is necessary to set an average weight into memory before any
of the token keys [T2] or [T1] can be used. See Sections 5.1 and
5.2 for more details.

3.4 MEM RY ACCUMULATI NS
•When the coins have been counted it is possible to store the
results of this sample into memory by pressing [M+].
•The displays will show a number corresponding to the item
number in memory (Denomination display “≡1≡”) and the total
quantity of coins counted in memory (Quantity display) and the
total value of coins that have been stored into memory (TOTAL
display).
For Example:
“ 0.20” “ 285” “ 57.00”
Press [M+]
“ ≡1≡” “ 285” “ 57.00”
After 2 seconds the scale will return to normal operation. Put next
batch of coins on the scale, select denomination [R1]
“ 1.00” “ 108” “ 108.00”
Press [M+]
“ ≡2≡” “ 393” “ 165.00”
After 2 seconds the scale will return to normal operation. Put next
batch of coins, select denomination [10c]

15 | P a g e © Adam Equipment Company 2009
Press [M+]
“ ≡3≡” “ 498” “ 175.50”
•After 2 seconds the scale will return to normal operation. The
weight on the scale must return to zero before another value is
allowed to be stored into memory.
NOTE: Tokens cannot be added to memory as they do not have a value
associated with them.
•If tokens are to be added to memory with coins, an error message
will be displayed:
“ ErrOr ” “ TYPE” “ ”
After that the scale will return to normal operation.
