1. General description
BD/TL series scales are destined for identical pieces counting and can be used
in store houses production control and similar tasks.
Counting pieces function is based on calculation individual mass of detail from
sample weight or inscribed value using keyboard. Scale avails a “learn
algorithm” during calculation to correct inaccuracy conversion.
BD/TL is equipped with summing register. The register allows addition or
subtraction of succesive measurement and observation of the register current
state.
BD/TL is equipped with data library (products base) that enables to save up to
1000 products, wherein 30 products can be saved to handy data library (that
enables choosing product by using only one key).
Most effective way to work with products labeled by barcode e.g. EAN13 is to
use connection with barcode reader (option). Readout of barcode recalls product
from data library (products base).

7. Preparation of workplace
Workplace of scale should be chosen carefully. This place should be assured a
proper temperature and essential area for attendance. Weight should stand on
stable table.
Violent movements of air, dust, vibrations, violent changes of temperature or
humidity above 90% are inadmissible. Scale should be far off from strong
electromagnetically or magnetically fields.
8. Preparation to work
1. Take the scale, pan and feeder out of the package. It is recommended to keep
the original scale package in order to transport the balance safely in future.
2. Place the scale on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and
airflows.
3. Put a support pan 2in wholes.
4. Put the overlay pan 1.

9. General rules
1. It is advised to check scale indication accuracy before and after series of
measurement using any load with known weight. To check the scale with legal
verification uses a calibration weight with valid calibration certificate. In case
permissible error is exceeded it is advised to contact the nearest service to
calibrate the scale.
2. Weighed sample should be placed in the centre of the pan.
3. The scale is equipped with a tare equal to its range. To tare the scale press
Tkey. Storing a tare value does not extend measuring range, but only
subtracts it from a load placed on a pan.
4. Weighing result should be read when the indicator " " lights, which
signalizes stabilization of a result.
5. When the scale is not used but it is necessary to be ready to work
immediately, it can be switched off by pressing I/ key. The scale reading
system is then switched off to "standby" mode. To switch the scale on press
I/ key. The scale is immediately ready to operate maximum accuracy (after
self tests).
6. Before each measurement make sure that zero indicator is displayed. If zero
indicator does not displayed or “----“ communicate appears, press 0key
and wait until zero indication and zero indicator appears
7. The mechanism of scale is a precision devices and susceptible on congestions,
impacts and mechanical shakes.
If scale has been moved from places with low temperature to places with
high temperature (for example in winter), before connecting the scale to
supply leave it for about 4 hours in purpose of acclimatization.
Do not overload the scale more then 20% of maximum load (Max).
Do not press a pan by hand.
Niedopuszczalne jest naciskanie szalki ręką.
Scale should be protected during the transport.

10. Operation rules during work with accumulators (batteries)
1.Scale can be powered from ~230V supply through feeder attached with scale.
Moreover accumulators, which are placed in container inside the scale, can be
used for powering. Ordinary batteries can be used as well.
2.In order to make accumulators (batteries) discharging time longer, automatic
switching off display backlight and later the whole scale further is possible
during breaks in weighing. Configuration of these mechanisms is done using
b_LIGHT and Auto OFF functions.
3.Charging accumulators is performed automatically after connecting feeder to
the scale, also during weighing. Accumulator power level can be read using
bAttErY function (bat LEVEL option).
When using batteries in place of accumulators, charging during
work with feeder have to be switched off. bAttErY function is used
for this purpose (bAt OFF option), which is described in further
part of manual. Charging batteries can cause their breaking and
serious damage of the scale.
