placed under the scale, as shown in the figure below:

5
c) Level the platform by adjusting the adjustable feet until the bubble is in the centre of the level. The stability of the
platform is very important.
ALL THE CORNERS MUST REST IN A UNIFORM WAY. Carefully check that all feet fully rest on the ground and that the
platform, loaded on the corner, is not unstable (if a corner is not resting on the ground its relative foot is easier to turn).
3.1 POWER SUPPLY AND START-UP
The indicator can be powered with a fitted 240 Vac external power adapter or just with the fitted battery.
NOTE: it is advisable to completely recharge the battery (12 hours) with the first installation of the instrument.
TO POWER the instrument through the 240 Vac mains put the AC/DC power plug in the appropriate socket under the
scale and the power adapter in the 240 Vac mains socket.
TO TURN ON the instrument press downwards the button under the scale until it turns on, then and release it.
TO TURN OFF the instrument press upwards the button under the scale until it turns off, then release it.
3.2 BATTERY POWERED
The weighing indicator can be operated from the battery if desired.
When the battery needs charging the symbol on the weight display will turn on. The battery should be charged
when the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for about 10 minutes after which it will automatically switch off to protect
the battery.
To charge the battery simply plug into the mains power. The scale does not need to be turned on.
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
You can find the “Charge”LED at the right of display to indicate the status of battery charging. When the scale is
plugged into the mains power the internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery has a full charge. If it is
Red the battery is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is being charged.
As the battery is used it may fail to hold a full charge. If the battery life becomes unacceptable then contact your distributor

Indicates that the battery is going to recharge (see section 3.2).
5. DESCRIPTION OF THE LCD DISPLAYS
WEIGHT DISPLAY
The weight on the plate is shown in this display.
AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT DISPLAY
The entered or calculated average piece weight is shown in this display.
COUNT DISPLAY
The current number of pieces is shown in this display.
FUNCTION OF THE SYMBOLS
The LCD displays have symbols which show the indicator’s functioning status; you will find the description for each symbol
below.
6. OPERATION
6.1 AUTOMATIC ZERO UPON START-UP
The indicator has an “auto zero at start-up” function: in other words it means that if at start-up a weight within + / - 10%
of the capacity is detected, it will be zeroed; if the weight is not within this tolerance, the display shows “Err 4” and with
a non approved instrument the present weight after a few instants, while with an approved instrument “Err 4” is shown
continuously.
6.2 SCALE ZERO
You can press the ZERO key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing and counting is measured,
within + / - 2% of power up zero. This will usually only be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point
is obtained the display will show the indicator for zero.
SYMBOL
FUNCTION
Indicates that the battery is low (see section 3.2)
W1
The instrument is in the first weighing range.
W2
The instrument is in the second weighing range.
NET
Indicates that the displayed weight is a net weight.
~
The weight is unstable.
0
Indicates that the weight detected by the weighing system is near zero.
LOW-PCS
Indicates that there are an insufficient number of samples in order to determine an accurate count (see
section 6.5).
LOW-APW
Indicates that the average piece weight is insufficient in order to determine an accurate count (see section
6.5).
M+
Indicates that the total weight is greater than 0.

8
The scale has an automatic rezeroing function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform
(see “F5”step, section 7). However you may need to press the ZERO/ENTER key to rezero the scale if small amounts
of weight are shown when the platform is empty.
6.3 TARE FUNCTION
Zero the scale by pressing the ZERO key if necessary. The “ZERO” symbol will be on.
Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed.
Press the TARE key to tare the scale when the weight is stable. 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
product is added only the 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.
To remove the tare, unload the scale and press again TARE.
6.4 OVERLOAD MESSAGE
Please do not add item that is over the maximum capacity. When reading “—OL—” and hear beeping sound, remove
the item on the platter to avoid damage to the load cell.
6.5 COUNTING PIECES
Through the reference function it’s possible to use the scale as a piece counter.
6.5.1 COUNTING PROCEDURE
The operations to be carried out are the following:
1) Place the empty container on the scale and press TARE to tare it.
2) Check that the zero is on the display and put the quantity of pieces chosen for the SAMPLE on the scale
3) With the keyboard type the number of pieces on the scale.
4) Press PCS; the displays will indicate SAMPL and the indicator will calculate the Average Piece Weight (A.P.W.).
After a few instants the “COUNT” display will indicate the quantity selected put on the platform.
5) Add the rest of the items to count in the container and whose value will appear on the “COUNT” display.
6) Unload the scale; the APW will remain stored in memory for the next counting of similar pieces, without having to
repeat the REFERENCE operation.
7) To cancel the reference, press the C key.
8) To execute a new reference operation repeat the operations as described from point 1).
6.5.2 ENTRY OF THE KNOWN AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT
To enter the known average piece weight type the value with the keyboard (including the decimal point) and press
APW.
The “A.P.W.” display indicates the entered average piece weight while the “PCS”display shows the number of pieces
on the scale.
The operation can be made with a loaded or unloaded platform.
In any case, the entry of a new average piece weight cancels and substitutes the previous one.
6.5.3 AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT MEMORY
The scale can store 10 sets average piece weight (A.P.W.).
SAVE THE AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT
Hold the PLU key for 3 seconds after you key in the A.P.W., it will show “SAVE PoS 00” , press numeric key
0~9 to select which memory location you want to use. After you do, the A.P.W. is stored in the scale.

9
LOAD THE AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT
If you want to use the A.P.W. stored in the scale, press PLU key, the scale will shows “LoAd PoS 00”, press
numeric key 0~9 to select which memory location’s price you want to use, current A.P.W. will change to the
value stored in the memory.
6.5.4 OPTIMISATION OF THE APW
After having carried out the REFERENCE operations (section 6.5.1), if one adds to the reference quantity another
amount of pieces as long as it is on the scale and greater than one, the instrument automatically updates the
A.P.W.
To lock the unit weight and prevent Auto-update, press APW after REFERENCE operations (section 6.7.1).
6.6 TOTALISATION OF THE WEIGHT AND PIECES
6.6.1 TOTALIZATION
The scale can be set to accumulate manually the weight and the number of pieces on the scale by pressing the M+
key (see charter 7.3).
The displayed values will be stored in memory when the M+ key is pressed and the weight is stable.
When a totalisation is made, the “A.P.W.” display will show "- 01-", the “WEIGHT” display will show the accumulated
total net weight and the “PCS” display will show the accumulated total number of pieces. After 2 seconds the displays
return to the normal viewing.
Remove the weight, allowing the scale to return to zero and put a second weight on. Press M+; the “A.P.W.” display
will show “- 1-”, the “WEIGHT” display will show the new total net weight and the “COUNT” display will shows the new
total number of pieces.
Continue until all weights or pieces have been added.
6.6.2 MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC TOTALIZATION
The operation of accumulation, normally done manually with key M+, can be done automatically when the weight is
stable. To printout the data relatives to the totalized weight, unload the weight from the scale. In regards to the choice
of the totalisation execution mode see section 7.
6.6.3 TOTAL OPERATION
To view and print the total weight and the total number of pieces in memory press MR key
To return normal weighing mode when total values are shown:
- press ZERO key if you don’t want clear memory or
- press TARE key, to clear also the memory.
NOTE:
- The automatic totalisation functions with a minimum weight of 20d.
- The maximum number of totalisations is 99 while the maximum total value which may be accumulated is 999999.
Once reached these limits, one should clear the total; by pressing M+ the message “AdErr” will appear on the
display.
- The total values will be cleared when it’s turned off.
6.7 CHECKING OF THE WEIGHT OR PIECES
The scale is fitted with the quantity check function with 2 thresholds. An acoustic alarm is enabled on the basis of the
set thresholds and the weighing result.
6.7.1 SETTING THE CHECK ON THE WEIGHT OR THE PIECES AND OF THE WEIGHT THRESHOLDS
Each time the Ckey is pressed at length in weighing phase the scale change the type of the control. The “A.P.W.”
display will show the type of control selected in the available types, in this order: control on the net weight (nEt),
control on the pieces (Cnt) or disabled control.

-Confirm the entered value with TARE or press ZERO to exit without confirming.
-The thresholds are configured and the indicator returns to weighing.
6.7.2 ACOUSTIC ALARM IN CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CHECK
One can decide if the acoustic alarm should enable when the weight is within the threshold or when the weight is out
of the threshold. To choose the alarm enabling mode, see step F11 section 7.
Put a weight on the plate of the scale, the alarm will enable depending on which method has been configured:
WITH ALARM METHOD SET TO “OK” (within the limits)
-The alarm will turn on when the detected weight is between the LOWER THRESHOLD and the UPPER
THRESHOLD.
-The alarm will turn off when the detected weight exceeds the UPPER THRESHOLD and when is less than the
LOWER THRESHOLD.
WITH ALARM METHOD SET TO “NG” (out of the limits)
-The alarm will turn on when the detected weight exceeds the UPPER THRESHOLD and when is less than the
LOWER THRESHOLD.
-The alarm will turn off when the detected weight is between the LOWER THRESHOLD and the UPPER
THRESHOLD.
WITH ALARM METHOD SET TO “LOW” (under low limit)
-The alarm will turn on when the detected weight is lower than the LOWER THRESHOLD.
-The alarm will turn off when the detected weight exceeds the LOWER THRESHOLD.
WITH ALARM METHOD SET TO “HIGH” (over high limit)
-The alarm will turn on when the detected weight exceeds the UPPER THRESHOLD.
-The alarm will turn off when the detected weight is lower than UPPER THRESHOLD.
NOTES
-The check function is enabled when the limit values are entered. To disable the function one should set the limit
values at zero.
-The function is not valid when one enters a lower limit greater than the upper limit.
-The check is enabled with a weight greater than the minimum weight (20d).
6.8 FUNCTION OF AUTOMATIC TURN-OFF
