1. INTRODUCTION
This document contains information about how to install and operate your S200 price computing
scale. Please read carefully the manual before using the device.
1.1 Precautions
•Use the manufacturer approved power adapter provided with the scale. The use of
improper type of adapter could damage the device.
•Do not place loads heavier than the maximum weight limits specified in this document.
•Place loads carefully on the weighing pan.
•Do not immerse the scale in water or any other liquids.
•Do not use the scale in hazardous environments.
•The scale should be used in environments free from dust, high humidity, corrosives,
vibrations, extreme temperature fluctuations and excessive air movements.
•Do not place the scale on unstable surfaces.
•Avoid placing the scale near heaters or in direct sunlight.
•Switch off and disconnect the scale from the power supply before cleaning or servicing.
•Always grab the scale from the bottom when moving, do not grab the weighing pan.
•Disposal of this product and its accessories should be in accordance with your local
regulations.
2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Package Contents
Inside the package you should find:
✓Scale
✓User manual
✓Metal pan
✓Rechargeable Li-on battery 3.7V (optional)
✓Power adapter (AC 5V/500mA)
✓RS232 interface cable (optional)

2.2 Metal Pan Assembly
Place the metal pan on top of the scale as shown in the image below and push gently
downwards.
Fig. 2.1 –Fitting metal pan
2.3 Placing and Levelling the Scale
Ensure the scale is placed on a levelled and stable surface free from vibrations and away from
direct sunlight.
Once you have located the scale, level it by adjusting the four rotational regulation feet at the
bottom of the device so the bubble in the level indicator positioned under the front display is fully
centered.
Fig. 2.2 –Levelling indicator
2.4 Power Connection
S200 is powered through the manufacturer approvedAC power adapter. First connect the
adapter cord to the scale’s power input jack and then plug the adapter to the power outlet.
Fig. 2.4 –Power adapter cord connection

2.5 Rechargeable Battery
S200 has the option to be fitted with a rechargeable 3.7V Li-on battery which allows the scale to
operate independently from an external power supply making it perfect for outdoors usage.
2.5.1 Fitment
Before placing the battery, you must ensure the scale is switched off and disconnected from the
power adapter cord. Remove the metal pan and then open the dedicated battery compartment as
illustrated in the image below. Connect your battery, make sure the compartment is fully closed
and finally place the metal pan back.
Fig. 2.3 –Battery Compartment
2.5.2 Charging
The battery is automatically charged once the power adapter is connected and the scale. The
battery charge level is indicated with the symbol provided in the front display. Once the
charge is critically low, the indicator will be fully empty and will start flashing. Please note the
scale will automatically switch off, once the battery is too low in order to protect it from damaging.
