3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 LOCATING THE SCALE
The scale should not be placed in a location that will
reduce the accuracy.
Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct
sunlight or near air conditioning vents.
Avoid unsuitable tables or surfaces.
Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large
users of electricity such as welding equipment or
large motors.
Do not place near vibrating machinery.
Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening
doors. Do not place near open windows or air-
conditioning vents.
Keep the scale clean. Do not stack material on the
scale when not in use.
3.2 LIST OF ACCESSORIES
Your packet contains:
AC adapter
Indicator
Instruction manual

[Tare/↵]
Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero.
Tares the scale. Stores the weight currently on the scale as tare value, subtracts
the tare value from the gross weight and shows the results.
is of “Enter” key used when setting up
A secondary function,
the value for the Parameters.
[CHK/PRINT/⭡]CHK: Selects checkweighing. Used to set the Low/High weight limits while
checkweighing.
PRINT: Sends the results to a PC or a Printer using the RS-232 interface. It also
adds the value to the accumulation memory if the accumulation function is not
automatic.
⭡: Up directional button for scrolling. Also used for incrementing the active digit
when setting a value for Parameters.
[Disp/Mode/⭢]Selects the weighing unit to be displayed from those which are enabled. See
parameter S1 in section 7.4.
A secondary function, ⭢ is to move the active/flashing digit to the right when
setting values for Parameters.
[Set/Func/⭣]Selects the Functions of the scale. If the scale is weighing, it will select parts
counting. If it is not in weighing mode, it will return the user to weighing.
A secondary function (SET) will bring up the settings menu. Also used to set
values used for parameters
[0/Esc] Used to zero the scale.
A secondary function (ESC) is to return to normal operation when the scale is in a
Parameter setting mode.
[ /ST/CE] To switch on and switch off the scale.
ST: Secondary function allows the user to store/ recall checkweighing limits.
4.0 Key Specifications

5.0 DISPLAYS
The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits.
In addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below or above
check-weighing limits.
Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET) the scale is at zero and
stable, if a value has been stored in memory or when the animal weighing function has
been enabled. A battery symbols will show the state of charge of the internal battery.
6.0 OPERATION
6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY
You can press the [0/Esc] key at any time to set the zero point. This will
usually be necessary when the platform is empty. You can only zero off a
weight up to a maximum of 20% of the scale capacity. When the zero point is
obtained the display will show an indicator for zero.
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
the [0/Esc] key to re-zero the indicator if small amounts of weight are
shown when the platform is empty.

6.2 TARING
Zero the scale by pressing the [0/Esc] key if necessary. The “ZERO”
indicator will be ON. 0
Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed.
Press the [Tare/↵] key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is
stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving
zero on the display. The “NET indicator will be ON. As a product is added
only the net weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a
second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one. Again
only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
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 that was removed. The “ZERO” indicator will
be on to indicate that the platform is back to the same condition as it was
when zero was last set.
To delete a Tare value, press [0/Esc] when the pan is empty.

6.3 WEIGHING A SAMPLE
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be used and
then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net weight of the sample
and the units of weight currently in use.
6.4 CHANGING THE WEIGHING UNITS
To change the weighing units, press the [Unit/Mode] key. Press the key again to move to
the next unit type in the queue.
6.5 PRESET TARE
To preset a tare weight value, press and hold the [Tare/↵] key. The display will now show
a flashing unit which can be increased or decreased using the ⭡ or ⭣ directional keys and
the ⭢ directional key to move to the next digit.
Once you have set the desired sample size, press the [Tare/↵] key.
6.6 PARTS COUNTING
If parts counting is enabled, it is possible to count parts using a sample of the parts to
determine average piece weight.
Before starting, tare the weight of any container that may be used, leaving
the empty container on the scale. Place a known number of samples in the
container, if used. The number should match the options for parts counting,
i.e., 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.
Press the [Func/Set] key to select the weighing mode.
Using the directional buttons ⭡ or ⭣, scroll through to the parts counting
mode, “Count” will be shown on the display. Press [Tare/↵] to confirm.
Once in parts counting mode the “Pcs” indicator will appear on the right-hand
side of the display. Place the sample onto the scale and press the
[Disp/Mode] key.
