1.0. GENERAL
1.1. Description
The DC-190 counting scale offers a practical solution to a full range of
precision counting applications. There are a variety of models available
ranging from a weight capacity of 0.5 lb. through 100 lb. utilizing an
internally mounted load cell and a full range of capacities from 0.5 to 50,000
lb. utilizing external second and third platform. A console model is also
available with 3 external platforms in any of the above mentioned capacities
in any combination. An ultra-high resolution force balance scale may also
be used as a sample scale.
This manual will provide the user with information necessary to operate and
program the DC-190. Included in this manual are descriptions, specifications,
operating instructions and service guide.

3.0. INSTALLATION
This section provides the information required for installing this counting system
for operation. The following steps accomplish installation.
1. Unpacking
2. Set-up Procedure
3.1. Unpacking
Each component of the DC-190 system is packed in a specially designed carton.
Remove each component from its carton, separate the component from its
polystyrene shell assembly and set aside. Inspect the carton interior to be sure
that all accessories have been removed from the carton. Inspect the carton inner
panels for accessories.
NOTE: Be sure to repack all materials within the carton set. Store the cartons in
A secure area so they can be available whenever future shipment of the scale is
required.
3.2. Inspection
Immediately after unpacking, a visual inspection of the scale should be performed.
If any damage has been incurred during transportation notify the shipper and DIGI
MATEX, Inc. immediately. Instructions for assessment of damage and further
procedures will then be determined.
3.3. Repackaging
If, at anytime, the DC-190 counting scale must be returned for modification,
calibration, or repair, be sure that it is properly packed with sufficient cushioning
materials.
Whenever possible, the original carton assembly should be retained for this
purpose. Any damage caused by improper packaging will not be covered by
warranty.
3.4. Unlocking Procedure
The unlocking procedure is included on the next page. The DC-190 should
be properly locked whenever it is being transported.
