2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Unpackandverifythatthefollowingcomponentshavebeenincluded:
 • ScaleUnit
 • WeighingPlatform(plasticpanwithstainlesssteelcover)
 • InstructionManual
 • ACAdapter
Save the packaging material. This packaging ensures the ideal protection for the
storage or transport of the product.
2.2 Installing Components
Position the weighing platform pins into the through-holes on the top housing, then
set the platform securely into place. Secure the in-use cover with double-sided tape
as needed. IMPORTANT:
 • Beforeusingthescale, remove the shipping protection screw located
underneath the scale. This screw ensures protection of the load cell during
transport, but will need to be removed for the scale to operate properly.
 • Itisrecommendedthattheprotectivescrewbere-installediftransportingthe
scale. Do not over-tighten the protective screw as it may damage the load
cell. To re-install, turn the scale on and place a 500g weight on the pan,
then slowly screw in the protection screw until the display shows a value
between 250g to 400g.
2.3 Selecting the Location
Operate the scale on a firm, level surface. Avoid locations with rapid temperature
changes,excessiveaircurrents,vibrations,electromagneticfields,heatordirect
sunlight.
2.4 Leveling the Scale
Adjust the leveling feet until the bubble is centered in the circle of the level indicator
(locatedonthefrontpanel).
Attention:Ensurethatthescaleisleveleachtimeitslocationischanged.

EN-6 RANGER 1000 SERIES
2.5 Connecting Power
2.5.1 AC Power
Verify that the intended AC power source matches the AC adapter rating. Connect the
supplied AC adapter to the power input receptacle underneath the scale. Plug the AC
adapter into a properly grounded power outlet.
2.5.2 Battery Power
The battery will begin charging with the AC adapter connected accordingly. An LED
indicatorbelowandtotherightofthedisplayshowsthestatusofbatterycharging:
 • Green –batteryisfullycharged
 • Yellow –batteryispartiallychargedandcharging
 • Red –batteryisnearlydischarged
When AC power is not available, the scale will operate on the internal rechargeable
battery. The scale will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power
failure or the power cord is removed. Low battery charge is indicated by the low
batteryannunciatoronthedisplay(thescalewilloperateforapproximately10hours
morebeforeautomaticallyswitchingoff).
Before using the scale for the first time, the internal rechargeable battery should be
fully charged for up to 12 hours. A fully charged battery can operate the scale for
approximately80hoursindependentofACpower.Thescalecanbeoperatedduring
the charging process. The battery is protected against overcharging and the scale can
remain connected to the AC power line.
Attention:
  • Thebatterymustberechargedevery3monthsifthescaleisnotused
for a long time.
  • Replacethebatteryifitdoesnotchargeorholdafullcharge.
  • Disposeoftheleadacidbatteryaccordingtolocallawsandregulations.
CAUTION
BATTERY IS TO BE REPLACED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE
DEALER. RISK OF EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR IF REPLACED WITH THE
WRONG TYPE OR CONNECTED IMPROPERLY.
2.6 Initial Calibration
When the scale is operated for the first time, a Span Calibration is recommended to
ensure accurate weighing results. Before performing the calibration, be sure to have
the appropriate calibration weights.
Refer to Section 6 for Span Calibration procedures.

RANGER 1000 SERIES EN-11
6. CALIBRATION
For best results, calibrate the scale at regular intervals. Temperature changes,
gravity variations, altitude changes and abuse are few reasons why a scale may
need recalibration.
When the scale is ideally positioned for operation, enter calibration and proceed as
follows:
Long-press ZERO and UNIT at the same time to initiate
calibration. The required calibration weight flashes on the
display(ex.3000g).
At this time, a different calibration weight value can be selected by pressing UNIT.
Available selections are 1/3, 2/3 and 100% of full capacity.
Once the desired value is displayed, place the corresponding weight on the pan.
The display flashes until the actual weight is registered and the calibration process
ends(thescalere-starts).Atthistime,removetheweightonthepanbeforethe
display count-down sequence ends.
Notes:
•The calibration can be performed only when the unit is g, kg or lb.
•The calibration weight value can be changed by pressing UNIT key when
thevalueisflickering:1/3Max,2/3Maxor3/3Max.
7. RESTORE TO FACTORY SETTINGS
During the self-testing period after power on, press Tare and UNIT key at the same
time to reset the scale. The scale will now be restored to factory settings.
