INTRODUCTION
We greatly appreciate your purchase of the CI-170Aseries weighing indicator.
These goods perform excellently and exhibit splendid properties through striketests.
CAS indicator (CI-series) is delicately designed to coincide with the special requirements of
several industrial fields and includes many functions and various external interfaces. Also, it is
programmed for the user's convenience and contains help display functions that are easily
accessible.
Before using CI-170A series, it is recommended that you read this manual carefully so you
may use this device to its full potential.

■ST lamp: turn on when the weight is stable.
■TARE lamp: turn on when tare weight is stored.
■NET lamp: turn on when the current weight is NET weight.
■HOLD lamp: turn on when the weight is held while weighing moving or alive things.
■ZERO lamp: turn on when the current weight is 0 kg.
■KG lamp: turn on when the weight unit is kg.
■TON lamp: turn on when the weight unit is ton.

(2) Keyboard
■Used to return thedisplay to the0.
■User set the zero range within 4% or 10% of the maximum capacity(GEN.09).
■Used to enter theTESTmode.
■Used to weigh item by using the container.
■When this key is pressed, the scale stores current weight as the tare weight.
■Ifyou pressTARE key in unload condition, tare setting is released.
■Used to enter theSETmode.
■Use this keyto switch from GROSS to NETweight.
■The annunciators and display will alternate between GROSS and NET as well.
■In case tare weight is REGISTERED, tare plus item's weight is GROSS
weight and onlyitem's weight is NET weight.
■When the lamp turning on, it means NET weight.
■Used to enter the CALmode.
■When you press this key, the current designated printing form is printed.
■Use this key when weighing data is printed.
■Some functions can be defined to the needs.(GEN.20)
