3.2LOCATINGANDPROTECTINGYOURSCALE

Inordertokeepyouscalefunctioningatitsbestwesuggestthatyoudothe
following:

Avoidextremesoftemperature.Donotplacein
directsunlightornearairconditioningvents.

Makesurethescaleislocatedonastrongtableand
freefromvibration.
Avoidunstablepowersources.Donotusenearlarge
usersofelectricitysuchasweldingequipmentor
largemotors.Donotmixbatteriesanduseonlythe
factoryapprovedpoweradaptersuppliedwiththe
machine.DonotusebatteriesandtheACadapterat
thesametime.

Keepfreefromvibration.Donotplacenearheavyor
vibratingmachinery.

Avoidhighhumiditythatmightcausecondensation.
Keepawayfromdirectcontactwithwater.Donot
sprayorimmersethescalesinwater.

Donotplacenearopenwindows,air‐conditioning
ventsorfansthatmaycauseadraftandunstable
readings.

Keepthescalesclean.Donotstackmaterialonthe
scale/balancewhenitisnotinuse.

4.0BASICOPERATION
4.1TURINGONTHESCALE
PlugintheunitusingtheACadapterorusebatteries.Donotusebatterypowerand
theACadapteratthesametime.
1) Toturnonpressthe[on/off]keyonceandrelease.Allofthesegmentson
thedisplaywilllightup,thenthedisplayshowszero>0<
2) Thescaleisreadytobeuse.
3) Toturnthescaleoffafterusepressthe[on/off]keyagain.Thereisanauto
power‐offfunctionthatwillautomaticallyturntheunitoffafter4minof
inactivityornochangeintheweightreading.
4.2ZEROING/TARE
Youcanpressthe[Tare]keytosetanewzeropointandshowthezeroreadingif
theweightreadingislessthan4%ofthetotalofthemaximumcapacityofthescale.
Thismaybenecessaryiftheweightisnotreadingzerowithnothingonthe
platform.Thezeroindicatorswilllightup:>0<.
Ifyouareusingacontainertoweighthenyoucanplacethisontheplatformand
pressthe[Tare]key,providingthecontainerweightismorethan4%ofthe
maximumcapacityofthescale,thedisplaywillshowzeroandtareindicatorwill
lightup.Youcanthenweighyourobjectinthecontainer.Taringweightsubtracts
fromthetotalscalecapacity.

Note:Whenthecontainerisremovedanegativevaluewillbeshown.Ifthescale
wastaredjustbeforeremovingthecontainer,thisvalueisthegrossweightofthe
containerplusallproductswhichwereremoved.
4.4WEIGHING
Todeterminetheweightofasample,firsttareanemptycontainer(ifused),then
placethesampleinthecontainer.Thedisplaywillshowtheweightandtheunitof
weightcurrentlyinuse.

5.0FUNCTIONS
5.1AUTOPOWEROFF
TheautopoweroffhelpsconservepowerwhenusingonbatteryortheACadapter,
themachinewillautomaticallyturnoffafter4minofinactiveuseornochangein
thedisplayedweight.
6.0CALIBRATION
BeforecalibratingtheDuneseriesitisbesttoturnontheunitforabout1mintolet
thecomponentswarmup.
1) Press[on/off]keytoturnthepoweron,ifitisnotalready.
2) Pressandholdthe[Unit]key,until“CAL”isdisplayed
3) Removeanyweightfromthepan.
4) Pressthe[Unit]key,thedisplaywillflash“CAL”themwillshowthecalmass
required.Ifthecalmassisnotdisplayedthenthemachineisnotstableoris
notwithinazerorange.Turnofftheunitandtryzeroingthedisplaybefore
tryinganothercalibration.
5) Placetheappropriatecalibrationmassonthescale:
ModelCalibrationMass
DCT201200g
DCT20002000g
DCT50005000g
6) Afterthestablereadingthedisplaywillshow“PASS”thenreverttothe
weighingmode.Ifthecalibrationdoesnotpassthedisplaywillshow“FAIL”
andshutoff.
7) Thecalibrationisnowfinished.Ifthecalibrationiscorrect,thedisplaywill
showtheweightvalue.
NOTE:Ifthecalibrationfailsretry,ifitstillfailsthentheremaybedamagetothe
mechanicsoranissuewiththepower.Ifyoudonotfollowtheproceduresina
timelymannerthemachinewillautomaticallyswitchoffandthecalibrationwill
notbeaccepted.
