Scale Controls and Operation
Fig. 1: Front Panel
Scale Annunciators
Unit of measure lb, oz, kg, g or lb:oz. The units annunciator to the right of
the display will indicate the current unit of measure.
Net weighing mode is indicated by the NET annunciator. The
annunciator will illuminate when a net weight is displayed. When not
illuminated, a gross weight is displayed.
Battery option status indicator. When the annunciator illuminates, the
battery charge is low and the scale should be plugged in to recharge the
battery. While the scale is charging, the battery annunciator will flash.
When the charging is complete, the annunciator will turn off.
Center of zero. The annunciator will illuminate while the scale is
displaying a zero weight.

4
Motion indicator. This symbol represents motion or instability of the
weight. The annunciator will illuminate when motion is sensed on the
platform. Changes in weight, vibration or air currents can cause the
scale to go into motion.
1 to 8 setpoint output status indicators. Below the weight display are
annunciators that are illuminated when an output is active in weighing
mode or the current setpoint or preact is being edited.
Powering On
Connect the cord to a compatible power source.
For indicators with battery option, press and hold ZERO.
Basic Weighing Operation
1) Remove all items from the scale platform
2) Press the ZERO button to zero the scale
3) The weight display now reads zero
4) Place an item on the scale platform and wait for the motion annunciator to turn
off, indicating an accurate, stable weight
ZERO
ZERO is used to zero the scale. To zero the scale, press the ZERO button. The scale
will not zero if the scale is in motion. The zero function will operate over the entire
capacity of the scale.
If the scale is displaying a net weight, pressing ZERO will return the scale to gross mode
and display a zero weight. The stored tare will remain in memory.
The scale is equipped with a Zero on Demand parameter which zeros the scale upon
the next stable reading after ZERO is pressed.

5
TARE
Place the item you wish to tare on the scale platform and press TARE. The scale will
display a net weight and the NET annunciator will illuminate.
Tare weights will remain in memory even if the indicator is turned off.
Keyboard TARE entry
Enter a weight and press TARE to save or press CLEAR to cancel tare entry. The scale
will display a net weight and the NET annunciator will illuminate.
Display TARE value
To display the current tare value, press and hold TARE for three seconds. The display
will briefly read tare then flash the tare weight in the currently selected units. To exit
press CLEAR.
Clear TARE value
Enter 0 and press TARE. This will remove the tare weight from memory.
GROSS NET selection
Press the GROSS NET button to switch between the gross and net weighing mode.
Switching to the net mode is possible only when a tare is entered. Net mode is
indicated when the NET annunciator is illuminated.
UNITS
UNITS selects the unit of measure. Press UNITS to change the current unit. The units
annunciator to the right of the display will indicate the current unit or measure: lb, oz, kg,
g or lb:oz.
Each unit can be enabled or disabled in the scale parameter setup. Lb:oz is disabled by
default. Lb:oz is not available for checkweigh or setpoint values and cannot be
transmitted as data.
PRINT
PRINT transmits data to a printer or other external devices. When the data is
transmitted, the leftmost display digit will momentarily display an "r" to confirm data
transmission.
There are many parameters that customize the control of manual and automatic
transmission of data. Data can be transmitted via standard RS232, Ethernet, WiFi,
Bluetooth or USB options. Contact Doran Tech Support at [email protected] for
support.
START
Start currently loaded batch program.
STOP
Pauses or stops currently loaded batch program. Press once to pause and a second
time to stop operation.

Password Protected Values
To activate password protection, the PASS parameter must be configured with a numeric
password. Once configured, password protection will be activated upon power up.
If password protection is activated, the display will show PASS when Setpoint, Preact,
Tare, values are displayed. Password protection also inhibits deletion or creation of
new product IDs. Enter the password and press ENTER, the display will then show
PASS and then OFF. Protection is now disabled and values can be accessed and
changed.
To reactivate password protection, press and hold ENTER for 2 seconds. The display
will show PASSon.
