WARNINGS
Safe installation
Safety
THE EQUIPMENT CONTAINS NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS.
Installation and maintenance of the equipment must only be carried out by trained and authorised
personnel.
Electrical installation
The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply
at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
For your protection all mains (110V or 230V) equipment used out of doors or in wet or damp conditions
should be supplied from a correctly fused source and protected by an approved ground fault protection
device (RCD, GFCI etc.)
IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Routine maintenance
To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine, always switch off the machine and
isolate from the power supply before carrying out any routine maintenance.
To avoid the risk of the machine falling, where applicable, ensure that it is placed securely on a flat and
level surface.
Safe use
Caution – Cleaning the indicator/weigh head
Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing soda,
should not be used especially on the display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt to
wipe the inside of the machine.
The outside of standard products may be wiped down with a clean cloth, moistened with water containing
a small amount of washing up liquid.
The outside of products waterproofed to IP65, IP66 and IP67 may be washed down with water containing
a small amount of proprietary detergent.
Training
Do not attempt to carry out any procedure on a machine unless you have received the appropriate
training or read the Instruction Manual.
EMC compliance
The following may be applicable to your machine.
WARNING:
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which
case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

SERVICE CONFIGURATIONS ONLY
Any adjustment to these settings could seriously affect the indicators performance.
Seek advice from a service engineer before changing.

RS-232 data commands for SBI protocol
The RS232 can be set so a bidirectional connection can be established between the indicator and the host. To
establish this connection set parameter P4 to 7, and configure setting P5 (baud) and P6 (parity) to host device.
Commands can then be sent from the host to the indicator using the following commands (ensure the letters
entered are in CAPS) (<CR> - Enter)

Scale calibration
Calibration Configuration Settings –
The scale is configured from the factory to match the specified settings for each unit, as defined by the product
specifications and sales brochure. Modification of the setting can be accomplished by altering user configuration
settings P7-P10. Caution: Calibration and/or configuration of calibration settings of your scale should be
accomplished by a trained service technician using certified weights to ensure proper operation and accuracy.
Calibration is not covered under warranty.

Table 2a
You may choose to configure your scale for a higher resolution. The factory does not recommend increasing the
resolution above 7,500 divisions for a stable weight reading. Certain environments may cause the scale to be
unstable at factory settings, reduce the # of division settings to increase your stability.
