Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Kilotech product. We appreciate your business and hope that you will enjoy using your
scale. Should you require support, please contact your local dealer from whom you have purchased.

General Precautions
Avoid lengthy exposure to heat or cold
Allow the scale to acclimate to normal room temperature before use
Allow sufficient warm up time
Turn the scale on and wait for a few minutes to allow the internal
components a chance to stabilize before weighing
Do not leave a load or weight on a scale
for a prolonged period of time.
Might damage load cell
Do not tamper with the scale yourself
This will void the warranty. Contact your local distributor or Kilotech
directly to properly repair your scale
Do not overload beyond the maximum
weight limit
Do not pull the plug by its cord when
unplugging
Do not use the scale near fire or
corrosive gas
Unless the scale is waterproof do not
spill
water or immerse in water
Avoid placing the scale near a heater
It could cause a fluctuation to the indicator reading
Always make sure to use a Kilotech
approved adapter
Do not drop the scale or apply a sudden
shock
Do not drag the scale
Avoid exposing to other electromagnetic
devices
These devices emit RF and can cause unstable readings. If your scale
should perform poorly, try moving the scale to a different room or
location
Level the scale or make sure it is on an
even surface
A scale used on an uneven surface may provide an unstable reading
Scale should be used within stated
temperature
The scale should always be used in
an environment which is free from
excessive air currents, corrosives,
vibration and temperature or
humidity extremes.

Unpacking

Operation
Turning the scale On and Off
With no load on the platform, press ON/TARE key.
The scale will do a display segment check and then display the software version.
NOTE: Allow at least 5 minutes for the balance to temperature stabilize before using. If the balance is moved to a
different temperature environment, allow additional time to stabilize.
To turn the balance off: press and hold OFF/MODE until OFF is displayed, and then release it.
Checking Calibration
Before using the balance, its calibration should be checked.
If the displayed weight differs from the known mass by more than acceptable limits, refer to the Calibration Menu
and the Specifications at the rear of the manual.
Weighing
1. Press ON/TARE to set the display to zero.
2. Place the object to be weighed on the platform.
3. Wait until the unit indicator appears before reading the displayed weight. When the unit indicator appears,
the reading is stable.
Tare
When weighing samples that must be held in a container, tare enables the balance to subtract the weight of the
container and display only the net weight of the sample.
1. Press ON/TARE with no load on the platform to set the display to zero.
2. Place the empty container on the platform. Its weight will be displayed.
3. Press ON/TARE. Zero will be displayed and the container’s weight will be stored in the balance’s memory.
4. Add the sample to the container and read its net weight on the display.
5. When the container and its contents are removed, the container weight will be displayed as a negative
number.
The tared weight will remain in memory until ON/TARE is pressed again or the balance is turned off.

Parts Counting
NOTE: Parts counting must be enabled in the Setup menu before using
The balance will count parts based on the weight of a reference sample, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 parts. For optimum
results, the parts should be uniform in weight.
1. Repeatedly press OFF/MODE until pc CON is displayed.
2. Place a container on the platform and press ON/TARE.
3. The balance displays pcADD 5 which is the preset reference quantity. “5”
4. To change the reference quantity, repeatedly press ON/TARE until the desired quantity displayed.
5. Add the displayed number of parts to the container, then press ON/TARE
6. The balance will display the current number of parts.
7. Add parts to the container as desired and read the quantity on the display. At this time, only “PC”
counting signal is displayed.
8. To switch between viewing the quantity and weight of the parts, press OFF/MODE
NOTE 1: If you need to exit or restart parts counting at any time, press and hold ON/TARE until pc CON is displayed,
then release it. Return to step 2 to restart, or press OFF/MODE for other weighing functions.
NOTE 2: If PCErr is displayed, the sample is too small to provide accurate results within the selected parts counting
error level (PCErr of the Setup menu).
NOTE 3: The reference quantity will remain in memory until it is changed or balance is turned off.
Calibration Menu

still occurs, the sensor or the circuit board may be destroyed. The balance must be sent to the
manufacturer to be serviced.
•Err 1: Sample being weighed exceeds the capacity of the balance. If error occurs when the sample is within
the balance capacity, balance may be incorrectly calibrated.
