(1) We recommended only using power supply adaptors supplied by DIBAL S.A.. If for any
reason, a power supply adaptor is used that has not been supplied by DIBAL S.A., it must be
provided with double insulation between the primary and secondary. The scales’ guarantee
does not cover damage caused as a result of using parts that are not supplied by DIBAL S.A.
(2) Battery specifications are as follows: lead battery, 6vdc 4.5ah. Use original batteries supplied
by DIBAL S.A. the use of any other type will render the scales’ guarantee void and may be
dangerous. The scales’ guarantee does not cover damage caused as a result of using batteries
that are not supplied by DIBAL S.A.
See paragraph 2.4.1. Battery operation

5. Choice of different operating modes.
6. Amount calculated.
7. RS-232 communications. 2.3. INSTALLING THE SCALES
1. Use only adaptors and batteries supplied by DIBAL S.A. the use of any other type will
render the scales’ guarantee void and may be dangerous.
2. Before using a mains adaptor check the voltage of the adaptor and the corresponding
mains.
3. Make sure that the scales can be connected to a nearby socket that is easy to access. We
recommend that the socket should be provided with differential breaker, thermal-magnetic trips.
If the scales have a battery option, see paragraph 2.4.1. Battery operation.
4. Check that there is no equipment that generates electromagnetic fields (such as
refrigerators, cutting machines, etc.) Connected to the same socket as the scales.
5. Check that the scales are placed on a firm, level surface. The operation of the scale is
sensitive to its levelling and geographic location changes. In case of doubt when changing
the location, consult the manufacturer. Correctly level the scale at its final location, using the
spirit level.
6. Check that no object comes into contact with the dish.
7. Avoid extreme temperatures. Do not place the scales in direct sunlight or close to air
conditioning vents.
8. These scales have not been designed as waterproof scales. Therefore, avoid high levels of
humidity since this might cause condensation. Protect from rain and avoid direct contact
with water. Do not spray water on the scales or submerge in water. If the scales get wet,
switch off the power supply immediately.

2.4. USE AND MAINTENANCE ADVICE
1. Never place a weight on the scales that exceeds the maximum limit.
2. Do not place weights suddenly on the dish.
3. Donot exert sideways pressure on the dish.
4. Clean the scales with a damp cloth. Never pour or spray water on the scales. If the scales get
wet, switch off the power supply immediately.
5. Always keep the scales clean.
6. Do not use abrasive chemical substances, solvents or strong detergents to clean the scales
7. Do not use the scales in dirty or dusty places.
2.4.1. BATTERY OPERATION
Optionally, the scales may be provided with one 6VDC 4.5Ah lead battery. Use original batteries
supplied by DIBAL S.A. the use of any other type will render the scales’ guarantee void and may
be dangerous.
New batteries are partly charged. Before you can use your scales, you should put in the battery
and charge it as follows:
To charge the battery, simply plug the scales into the mains. It is not necessary to switch on the
scales. It should take 8 hours to fully charge the battery.
Some batteries perform better after being fully charged/discharged several times.
Battery performance depends on many factors, including background light set-up and operation
set-up.
Only charge the battery in a ventilated room.
When the battery needs to be charged, an icon will light up on the display. Recharge the battery
as soon as the arrow appears over the symbol. The scales will still work for about 10 hours, and
will then switch off automatically in order to protect the battery.
New batteries and batteries that have been stored for a long period of time may require a longer
charging time.
Keep the battery at room temperature or similar when charging.
Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C or above 45°C.
Over a long period of time, the batteries will gradually lose their charging capacity and will
require a longer time for charging. This is normal. If you recharge the battery regularly, and note
that it lasts for a shorter time or charging time is longer, it is probably time to buy a new battery.
Only use the battery for the purpose for which it was designed.
Never use damaged chargers or batteries.
Never short-circuit battery. An accidental short circuit may occur if a metal object (a coin, paper
clip or a ballpoint pen) causes a direct connection between the + and –poles of the battery (the
battery’s metal strips), for example, if you are carrying a spare battery in your pocket. Short-
circuiting the poles may harm the battery or the object that is causing the connection.
Do not throw batteries onto fire.
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. Recycling). Do not throw them into
domestic rubbish bins.
