For consistent and accurate reading,
maintain periodical check by your
CAS authorized dealer.
Avoid sudden shock to the scale.
Internal mechanism could be damaged.
Take the battery out when scale is not in
use for long time. Leakage from the
batteries is hazardous.
Place the scale on firm and temperature
consistent environment.
Keep the scale away from other
electromagnetic generating devices.
This may interfere with accurate
reading.
Grab on the bottom of the scale when
moving. Do not hold by the platter.
By adjusting 4 corners of the scale, set
the scale even using the built in scale
leveling indicator.
Attention
Do not disassemble the scale.
When any damage or
defect occurs, contact
your CAS authorized
dealer immediately for
proper repair.
Do not overload beyond the maximum
weight limit.
Do not pull the plug by its cord when
unplugging. Damaged cord could cause
electric shock or fire.
To prevent from fire occurring, Do not
place or use the scale near
flammable or corrosive
gas.
Avoid placing the scale near heater
or in direct sunlight.
Scale must be grounded to minimize
electricity static. This will minimize
defect or electric shock.
Do not step up on the scale with wet feet.
Platter becomes slippery. Humid
condition may cause incorrect
reading.
Use proper Adapter. Incorrect adapter
could damage the scale.
Insert plug firmly to wall outlet to
prevent electric shock.
To reduce electric shock or incorrect
reading, Do not spill water on the scale
or place it in humid condition.
Warning
PRECAUTIONS
Precautions when installing the scale. To ensure that you get the most from

6. Cumulative Weight Sum
The function of cumulative weight sum is to be showing the aggregate times and
weight as adding the value of weighing a several times. Even though power is
off, the scale stores data. This function is only available in weighing mode.
Place an item on the platter. To add this weight, press the
SAMPLE key. Make sure that
SUM lamp is on.
To release HOLD function, press the HOLD key or remove the item from the
platter.
If the scale judges that the weight of the sample varies above 1/4 weight, it
will be released the hold automatically.
5. Hold Function
Place an item on the platter and then press the HOLD key.
“HOLD” is shown on the
display. Average weight is shown on the display

4. Percent Weighing Mode
The weight is displayed as a percentage of the reference.
or
Press the MODE key until the display shows “PErSEt”. If you
have set reference sample before, the display shows “0.0”. If you want to use container, place it and press the TARE
key.
Place reference sample on the platter and press the SAMPLE key.
The display shows “100.0”.
(LCD version:The display shows “100.0%”)
Make sure that reference sample should be bigger than 3% of
maximum capacity. If it is lower than 3% of maximum capacity,
the display shows “LOW”. In this case, increase the weight of
reference sample and press the SAMPLE key.
Place an item on the platter, then the weight is displayed as a
percentage of the reference.
Place parts on the platter, then the display shows the number of
parts. You can also use tare function in counting mode.

Press the SET key. The display shows unit weight and then shows the number of samples. If the
display shows “LACK”, the counting result may not correct. (LCD version:Lack of Unit lamp is On) If
the display shows “LOW”, it is impossible to count samples because the unit weight is too small.
