Scale installation and operation
Your ADE portion scale with induction charging is a quality product.
It is ideal for use wherever dusty or harsh working conditions prevail, including professional
commercial kitchens, bakeries, butcher shops, etc. With the ProSeal technology, the
annoyance about dirt, dust, splashing water and corrosion is a thing of the past.
Thanks to the induction charging used, the scale has no interfaces at all in order to avoid
corrosion or contamination of connections. From the polymer membrane to the foot thread, it
offers a completely sealed housing with IP65 dust and splashing water protection that has
been intelligently designed and moulded to meet the highest demands, with no inaccessible
grooves, gaps or acute angles at all. In addition, the weighing surface and the supporting
substation can be disassembled in no time thanks to a practical quick-release fastener. Ideal
for all-round easy cleaning that leaves no residues behind.
Backlight and automatic power-off, as well as the display of different units can be set or
disabled.
To achieve precise results, please read the user guide carefully and follow the instructions
contained therein.
Inspecting the contents of the box
➢Portion scale
➢Load cross, silicone mat and weighing plate
➢Quick-release fastener for the load cross
➢Induction charger
➢User manual incl. declaration of conformity
Safety information
The induction charger generates an electromagnetic field. This can pose
a threat to persons with pacemakers or other implants!
Never attempt to charge the scale with/on an induction hob/cooker. This
is NOT technically feasible and can also cause destruction of the scale.
Mains and battery connection of the scale
Power is supplied either by means of the rechargeable batteries already installed in the device
or through mains operation using the included AC adapter (230 V AC). The printed voltage
level must comply with the local voltage.
- The rechargeable batteries are already installed in the scale housing.
- When charging the device for the first time, use the included AC adapter. The charging
time is approx. 12 hours during initial charging.
- When fully charged, the scale has an operating time of up to 120 hours.

5 PWI30-190920-Rev005-UM-en
- The charge status is indicated by on the display. Charge the battery as soon as a
low charge status is indicated by flashing charge status or LO lights up on the display
and the scale turns off automatically.
- When charging, make sure that the adapter is at least 5 cm away from metal objects.
- If the operating time with fully charged batteries is drastically reduced, the battery must
be replaced. In this case, please contact your local dealer or service partner.
- Make sure that the local mains voltage matches the operating voltage printed on the
adapter.
- If you will not be using the scale for an extended period of time, disconnect the power
supply from the mains and remove the battery to protect the scale.
- The energy transfer between the induction charger and the scale is contactless. The
radio symbols indicate the position of the transmission and reception elements (top
side of the induction charger and in the area of the induction charging base of the
scale). Charging takes place only when both elements/symbols are opposite each
other!
- The charging function is available only if the distance between the transmission and
reception elements is sufficiently small. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the
induction charger is properly positioned in the induction charging base.
