2. Installation and use of scale
Your ADE compact scale KWE in stainless steel housing is a quality product, which is designed
for a lot of different weighing performances for controlling, where approval is not necessary. The
scale has both-sided displays.
Four selectable graduations give the user different possibilities to adjust the displayed results to
the user’s intention.
The integrated program for piece counting offers the user easy piece counting.
In addition to that there can be stored minimum and maximum values combined with an
acoustical signal in the scale, e. g. for weighing always the same weights.
The stainless steel housing allows using the scale in humid working environments.
The scale is a precision instrument and must be treated accordingly. Therefore kindly read and
follow the Operating Manual in all respects.
2.1 Check carton contents
Compact Scale
Weighing platform
Operating manual including Certificate of Conformity
Rechargeable batteries (only for models with rechargeable batteries included)
2.2 Positioning of the scale
Make sure all four feet of the platform have direct contact to the surface.
The spirit level of the scale is an additional tool to make sure the scale is carefully positioned
and offers best results when the air bubble is centered.
The alignment of the scale must be checked and corrected every time the location of the scale
is changed.

3 KWE-190107-Rev008-UM-en
Place the metal weighing tray on the platform.
Connect the mains adapter to the scale.
2.3 Power supply of the scale
Power supply is by mains with directly connected power plug (230V) or with rechargeable
batteries (only for models with rechargeable batteries).
The battery pack is already installed in the base of the scale.
For the first loading of the rechargeable batteries please take the power line cable out of the
battery box inside the scale (at the bottom side of the scale) and connect it with the local
electricity grid. Complete first charging of power-packs needs approx. 10 hours. Please make
sure that the local voltage supply corresponds to the indication printed on the adapter.
2.4 Power immediate operation
Working with mains all three LCD („High“, „Mid“, „Low“) are on.
For models with rechargeable batteries:
•All three segments lighting = Power voltage of rechargeable batteries is more than 6.3V,
•Two segments lighting = Power voltage of rechargeable batteries is between 6V und
6.3V,
•One segment lighting = Power voltage of rechargeable batteries is under 6V.
2.5 Power Charge Operation (only for models with rechargeable batteries):
When the power voltage indicator shows just one segment, scale should be charged by the
charger in battery storehouse. If not, the scale would turn off in between 15 minutes.
Full charging needs about approx. 10 hours.
The battery should be charged at least once every 3 months.
If the running time gets more and more less, rechargeable batteries have to be replaced. Please
contact your local dealer.
Please take sure that used voltage is 230V/50Hz.

2.6 Switch on
Press [ON]. The whole display illuminates with a serial of steps and ends with the screen
display „0“. After the [ZERO] indicator is lighting, the scale is ready for weighing.
2.6.1. Switch-off
Scale can be turned off forcibly by pressing [OFF].
2.6.2. Auto-off / Standby (only working with rechargeable batteries)
The scale has an automatic shut-off function, which can be activated or deactivated in
parameter setting.
Setting could be automatic shut-off after 10 minutes or deactivated shut-off. In this case
depending on the setting the backlight is always on or shut-off after 40 seconds showing “0”.
If you place something on the platform, the scale goes back in weighing modus.
2.6.3. Low voltage auto-off
If the voltage of the rechargeable batteries is less than 5.6V, the scales turn off automatically.
2.7 Zero Operation
When scale is on, [ON] is the key to zero. It is only available within 4% of the maximum
capacity; otherwise it will immediately display “HHHHHH“.
2.8 Displaying the voltage
When scale is on, it will display the voltage when pressing [ON] key for 3 seconds. Now if press
[ON] again, the scale will return to weighing mode.
2.9 Tare Operation
Place the container on the scale until the display indicates the weight number steadily.
Press [TARE], then the display indicates “0” and the TARE indicator is lighting.
Place the weighing objects into the container, and then scale shows the Net weight.
Move the container and the weighing objects off, and then scale will show the minus weight of
the container. Then press [TARE] again, the tare weight can be cleared, that the TARE indicate
out and the scale is set to zero.
If the display is not stable, no arrow is shown.

2.10 Unit operation
When scale is on, press [TARE] for more than 3 seconds to change the weight unit between g,
kg and lbs. Requirement is a stable weight.
Selected unit will be stored, when scale is switched off.
2.11 Check weighing – Minimum and maximum values with acoustical alarm
For setting minimum and maximum values, scale has to be empty.
Now press both [SET] and [ON] together for 3 seconds.
Display will show “-no-“ (in delivery condition). Press [TARE], it will circularly display “-no-“,
“-in-”, “-out-“ and again “-no-“:
„-no” deactivates the alarm function.
„-in-” activates the alarm within the range.
„-out-“ activates the alarm out of the range.
When display shows “-in-“ or “-out-“, press [ON] to confirm the choice.
When “-in-“ or “-out-“ is confirmed now the minimum value can be chosen. The display shows
an arrow at “Under” and the first digit is lighting. The light shows the value set last time and the
digit which can be adjusted is blinking. Now press [SET] to change the digit, press [TARE] to
change the digit value, and press [ON] to confirm.
Then the setting of minimum value is done and the arrow at “Over” is lighting. Use the same
way to finish the setting of the maximum value.
When finished setting, it returns to weighing mode and the weighing alarm function is on.
If the weight is upper the maximum value, the “Over” indicator is lighting, while arrow to “Under”
is lighting, when weight is under minimum value.
If the weight is between minimum and maximum values the arrow next to “Accept” is lighting.
If activated (setting “-in-“ or “-out-“), control weighing is supported by an acoustic signal, which
sounds, if the weight is in between or out of the minimum and maximum values (as set in the
parameter; see Cap. 3.8).
For zeroing minimum and maximum values, set both values back to 000000 or deactivate
function by choosing “–no-”.
The settings will be stored in memory when scale is switched off.
If changing the weighing unit, this function will be closed and the current
setting value will be auto-cleared.
If changing the graduation, this function will be closed and the current setting
value will be cleared.

2.12 Counting Function
Switch on the scale and put on the reference number of pieces.
This function can be activated only with loaded platform!
Press both [SET] and [ON] keys together for 3 seconds. Display shows “pcs_y”.
Press [TARE] to deactivate the counting function. Display shows “pcs_n”.
To confirm your choice press [ON].
When choosing „pcs_y“ press [ON]. Display will show “000000” and the first digit of reference
number of pieces is blinking. Now press [SET] to change the blinking digit, press [TARE] to
change the blinking digit value. Following this way enter the reference number of pieces put on
the platform and press [ON] to confirm. With setting the scale will store reference number and
will automatically turn into counting mode. Arrow at “PCS” will show activated counting mode.
Now place an arbitrary number of pieces on the weighing platform and display shows the
number.
The settings will be stored in memory when scale is switched off.
For returning to weighing mode press both [SET] and [ON] together for 3 seconds, and choose
“pcs_n” by pressing [TARE] Confirm your choice with [ON].
The setting will be stored and scale return to weighing mode. When scale is switched on next
time, it starts in weighing mode.
Piece counting function doesn’t work, if unit “lbs” is selected.
3. Environment Parameter Setting
The user has different parameters to adjust the scale to his preferences.
The following parameters can be adjusted:
PrE (Adjustment display precision)
UNT (Adjustment units)
