stable display with a variety of functions. As an integral part of its design, it is
equipped with adjustable feet and levelling bubble to ensure accurate weighing
as well as a full keyboard with 9 one-touch memory buttons. With a stainless
steel platform and full keyboard, these counting scales are ideal for industrial
settings, wholesale markets and retail environments in which high accuracy
counting functions are equipped.
This manual provides the user’s guide in using the product, safety, installation,
features and technical specifications, calibration procedures, configurations and
other technical related in using the scale.
2. Safety Recommendations
When using this weight equipment the following recommendations shall be
observed for safety:
The weighing machine may only be used with the power adapter
supplied exclusively for use with the weighing machine. Before
inserting the power adapter, the user must ensure that the
operating voltage stated on the power adapter meets with the
mains voltage. If not, please contact Customer Service.
If the power adapter or its cable is damaged, the weighing machine
must immediately be disconnected from the electricity supply (pull
out the power adapter). The weighing machine may only be operated
from mains electricity supply with a power adapter which is in perfect
condition.
If there should be any reason to believe that it is no longer possible
to operate the weighing machine without danger, the weighing
machine is to be immediately unplugged from the electricity suppl
and secured against inadvertent operation.
The weighing machine must not be operated in an area subject to
explosion risks.
Care must be taken when weighing liquids to ensure that no liquid is
spilt into the inside of the weighing machine or into connections on

5.2.1 Number settings:
The setting is used in the case of counting the unknown unit weight.
Place a certain number of samples on the platter. Note the total weights
reading for these samples displaying in the WEIGHT display. Set the
number of samples using numeric keys. The set number will be
shown in UNIT WEIGHT display. Pressing the [SAMPLE/UNIT] key, the
UNIT WEIGHT display will show the average unit weight per piece and
TOTAL display will show the number of samples.
5.2.2. Unit weight setting:
This setting is used in the case the unit weight is already known. Set
the unit weight data then numbers will display in UNIT WEIGHT. Press
[UNIT WEIGHT] key to accept the settings. To cancel previous unit
weight and sample setting, press [CE] key.
5.3. Alarm Function
To avoid counting error, the scale has useful alarm function to alert the
operator of possible counting inaccuracy in case of shortage of number of
samples or shortage of sample unit weight
5.3.1. Sample number alarm:
Lack of Sample light will turn on if the total weight of sample is below
the limit value. Add pieces of samples until the lack of sample
disappears. Then set the new number of samples through numeric key
then press [SAMPLE/UNIT] key.
FREE SAMPLE FUNCTION is the same as above. Scale will automatically
adjust and calculate new average unit weight if operator add samples
slowly with the numbers.
FREE SAMPLE FUNCTION will not work if the displayed number exceeds
1,000,000 pieces
5.3.2 Unit weight alarm:
Lack of Piece Weight light will turn on if the average unit weight or set
unit weight is not enough for accurate counting operation. Operator may
use scale even the light is on, but counting error may happen.
5.3.3. Alarming by press [QTY/SET]:
THE SCALE has useful check function to alert operator that the total piece
counts quantity has reached the lower limit and the upper limit desired.
This function is designed for packing purpose. For example, if the

7. CALIBRATION
7.1 When to calibrate?
Calibration may be required when it is initially installed or if the
scale is installed to an environment where gravitational pull is different
from where the scale is initially calibrated. Also, recalibration maybe
required considering on the time and length of usage of scale (mechanical
deviations may occurring).
7.2 Linearity calibration:
1. Turn on the scale, check if it is responding stable and then turn it off.
2. Press and hold [TARE] key and then switch on the scale. The display
will show LINE on first line, CAL-0 (flashing) on the second line and AD
value on the third line.
3. Linearity calibration will require more than one test weights depending
on the capacity of the scale. The table below shows the required test
weights of each model:
Models

4. In this instruction, we assume the scale is a 3kg scale.
5. When the AD value is stable, press [ZERO] to start ZERO calibration.
After 2 or 3 seconds, the second line will show 1.0000 because this is
a 3kg scale. If the scale is let us say 15kg capacity then the 1st test
7 | ANYLOAD EC100 Counting Scale Operations Manual (V1611)

weight shall be 5kg. Refer to the table above on the test weight
requirements.
6. Place the first required test weight (1kg) on the platter and then press
[ZERO] when the stable A/D value is displaying. After 2 or 3 seconds,
the display will show 2.0000.
7. Place the second required test weight/s (2kg) on the platter and then
press [ZERO] when the stable A/D value is displaying. After 2 or 3
seconds, the display will show 3.0000.
8. Place the third and final required test weight (3kg) on the platter and
then press [ZERO] when the stable A/D value is displaying. After 2 or
3 seconds, the display will show 0.0000 meaning the calibration is
succeeded.
9. Turn off the scale then turn it on. Place some weights on the platter
and check if the weight reading meets your desired accuracy. If not,
repeat steps 1-8
7.3 Single segment calibration:
1. Turn on the scale, check if it is responding stable and then turn it off.
2. Press and hold [ZERO] key and then switch on the scale. The display
will show SCALE on first line, CAL-0 (flashing) on the second line and
AD value on the third line.
3. Press [SAMPLE/UNIT] to select the unit to be calibrated (kg or lb).
4. Once a stable A/D value is displaying, press [ZERO] to start ZERO
calibration. After 2 or 3 seconds, the second line will show 0.
5. Input span calibration weight using numeric keys ( 0 to 9) and then
place the span calibration weights on the scale. The recommended
span calibration weights shall be at least 80% of the full capacity of
the scale. If you have 15kg scale then you shall have at least 12kg test
weight to have a better calibration output. Press [ZERO] to run span
calibration. Once the indicator light is on, press the [ZERO] key and
the second line of the display will show 00000 meaning calibration is
succeeded.
6. Turn off the scale then turn it on. Place some weights on the platter
and check if the weight reading meets your desired accuracy. If not,
repeat steps 1-6 and increase the test weight value ( better if it is
100% of its full load capacity).
