3.0 OPERATION
3.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read this manual carefull before ou operate the IHS Crane Scale.
•Unpack the Crane Scale carefull from the packing.
•Attach it to our hoist or equivalent existing equipment securel at the ground
level, in the upright position. Make sure that the equipment to which the scale is
attached is in proper condition. The operator should be trained for its safe
operation.
• Carr out regular visual inspection for an damage or wear and teat on parts.
Particularl the split pins at the hook and e ebolts and the inner wall of the hook
and all joints should be checked regularl . If an damage or wear has taken place,
replace the parts.

© Adam Equipment 2017 9
•Do all inspection and maintenance work when the scale is not in use.
•Do not expose the scale to extreme temperatures. The operating temperature
range is 0° C to 40° C.
•Secure the sample to be weighed in the hook of the scale. Ensure that the sprung
Safet Lever returns to its resting position which prevents the sample from slipping
out of the hook.
•Do not exceed the maximum capacit of the Scale.
•Clean and protect our scale after use.
3.2 BATTERY OPERATION
•The batter will operate continuousl for 150 hours before requiring recharging.
The scale will alert ou when the batter is within 10 hours of requiring recharging
b the indicator lamp above the low batter s mbol to indicate that the batter is
low voltage.
•When the batter requires charging, the scale will turn off to prevent batter
damage. If the button is depressed at this point, the indicator lamp will reappear
and then the scale will again deactivate automaticall .
•Charging time for a completel discharged batter is approximatel 16 hours. A full
batter pack is recommended to keep the scale continuousl operational.
•The scale will automaticall power down after 30 minutes of non use to further
protect the batter .
Note: More frequent charging of the batter prolongs its life.
3.3 CHARGING BATTERY
•Plug the power suppl into the mains power, then into the back of the IHS scale.
•The red indicator lamp will illuminate to indicate that the batter charger is
functioning properl .
•The green indicator lamp will illuminate to indicate that the batter full charged.

3.4 BASIC OPERATIONS
Power on and off- Press [On/Off] ke to turn on the scale. Then the displa on the scale will
show [88888]. Press again to turn off the scale.
Zero the scale-Depress the [Zero] to re-zero the reading.
Change division- ou can use the [ hange/lb/kg] ke to change division.
Lb/kg- ou use this to select either lb or kg weighing units
Hold -when required, such as when the reading is not stable or ou cannot pause to record a
reading, ou can use the [Hold] ke to lock the reading, so that ou can read it easil later,
after ou finish reading, press [Hold] again to return to normal weighing mode.
Note: The [Hold] ke has no affect if the Hold parameter has been disabled. See section 5.1
Overload Warning-: please do not add an item that exceeds the maximum capacit of the scale.
When the buzzer is sounded and the displa shows”-----”, remove the item to avoid damage to the
load cell and scale.
3.5 REMOTE CONTROLLER
A: Determine increments in which the weight displa
B: Hold the settled values
C: Zero the scale
D: Backlight (onl used on scales with LCD displa )

4.0 ALIBRATION
•Hold [Zero] when the scale is powered on.
• The displa on the scale will show “SPAN”. Make sure the hook is empt or has the
slings or chains to be used in place. See Below.
•Depress the [Zero] button, the displa on the scale will show “Set” then “0” and
then“0000.0” after few seconds. Zero calibration is now complete.
•Enter the weight to calibrate with b using [Hold] ke to increment a digit then the
[ hange/lb/kg] ke to move it across the screen left.
•For example, the displa on the IHS will displa “3000.0” for a 3 ton calibration
mass.
•Add the calibrated mass on the hook, it the best that the mass is close to the
capacit where possible.
•When the scale is stable, press the [Zero]. The displa shows ‘HOLd’.
•After a few seconds, the calibration is complete.
** To calibrate in pounds (lb) make sure that the scale is lb mode before commencing, to calibrate
in kilograms (kg) make sure the scale is in kg mode before commencing.
When using slings, chains or other material to support the calibration mass, these items should be
hung from the scale before setting the zero point so that when the calibration mass is added, onl
the weight of the calibration mass is measured b the scale.
If an error is detected when calibrating an error message will be shown.
Err 3 is when wrong data is entered for the mass, i.e. too small or wrong division.
Err-5 means the calibration has failed.
5.0 PARAMETER
5.1 ENTER SETTING MODE
Turn off the power of the scale and then turn the power on again.
Press the [ hange/lb/kg] ke during self-checking, displa shows “Bee0“, indicating the scale has
entered the setting mode, press the [Hold] or [ hange/lb/kg] ke to shift the parameter items.
Use [Zero] ke confirm and escape from setting the current item.
