Please follow these safety precautions:
Verify that the AC input voltage printed on the data label matches the local AC
power supply.
Do not drop loads on the platform.
Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or tripping
hazard.
Use only approved accessories and peripherals.
Operate the scale only under ambient conditions specified in these
instructions.
Disconnect the scale from the power supply when cleaning.
Do not operate the scale in hazardous or unstable environments.
Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids.

2.3 Selecting the Location
Use the scale on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current,
vibrations, heat sources, or rapid temperature changes. Allow sufficient space
around the scale.
2.4 Leveling the Equipment
The Ranger Count Series has a level indicator as a reminder that the scale should
be leveled for accurate weighing. To level the scale, adjust the feet so the bubble is
centered in the circle.
Be sure the equipment is level each time its location is changed.
Figure 2-2. Level indicator
2.5 Connecting Power
AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed. First,
connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the power input jack then connect the AC
plug to an electrical outlet.

AC power plug to the input
jack on the back of scale.

2.5.1 Battery Power
The scale can be used on AC power immediately. The scale will automatically
switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is
removed. The scale can be operated during charging, and the battery is
protected against overcharging.
During battery operation, the battery symbol (see item 9 in Figure 3-2)
indicates the battery charge level. The scale will automatically turn off when the
batteries are fully discharged.
For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room
temperature.
Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours before using the scale on battery
power.

When [lo.bat] is displayed, the scale will shut off.
Charging the scale must be performed in a dry environment.
CAUTION: Battery is to be replaced only by an authorized
Ohaus service dealer. Risk of explosion can occur if the
rechargeable battery is replaced with the wrong type or if it
is not properly connected. Dispose of the lead acid battery
according to local laws and regulations.

EN-8 Ranger™ Count 2000 Series
3.4 Accumulation and Statistics
The Accumulation feature enables manual or automatic totalizing of displayed
values. Statistical data is stored in memory for review and printing. Accumulation
works together with Check mode.
3.4.1 Accumulating Displayed Values
With ACCUMULATE set to MANUAL, place the item on the scale and press the M+
key to add the weight to accumulation data. The ∑ icon will keep flashing until the
weight is removed.
With ACCUMULATE set to AUTO, place the item on the scale. The displayed value
is accumulated automatically. The ∑ icon will keep flashing until the weight is
removed.
3.4.2 Viewing and Clearing Statistical Data
When the pan is cleared, press the M+ key to display the statistical information. To
clear the accumulation data press the Tare key while the statistical information is
displayed. The display shows [Clr.aCC]. Press the Yes key to clear the stored data
and return to current mode.
Notes: The item must be removed from the pan before the next item can be
accumulated.
Only stable weights are stored to accumulation data.
Changing the mode will clear the accumulation data.
3.5 Check Weighing
Press and hold the Target key, [Check] is displayed in the weight window. Release
the Target key when [wWeIGH] is displayed in the piece weight window. Use this
mode to compare the weight of items to a target weight range.
1. Press the Target key, [Under] is displayed in the weight screen. The
previous under limit will is displayed in the piece weight screen.
2. Input the target weight with the numeric keypad. The value will be
displayed in the count window.
3. Press the Yes key to accept the under limit value, [Over] is displayed in the
weight screen.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 above to set the over limit.
5. If required, place an empty container on the pan and press Tare.
6. Place sample material on the pan or in the container. If the sample weight
is under the target weight range, the yellow LED will light. If the sample is
within the target weight range, the green LED will light. If the sample is
over the target weight range, the red LED will light.

Ranger™ Count 2000 Series EN-9
3.6 Check Counting
Press and hold the Target key, [Check] is displayed in the weight window. Release
the Target key when [Count] is displayed in the piece weight window.
1. Press the Target key, [Under] is displayed in the weight screen. The
previous under limit will is displayed in the piece weight screen.

weight screen.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 above to set the over limit.
5. If required, place an empty container on the pan and press Tare.
6. Place sample material on the pan or in the container. If the sample quantity
is under the target pieces range, the yellow LED will light. If the sample is
within the target pieces range, the green LED will light. If the sample is
over the target pieces range, the red LED will light.
Positive Check
Positive check is used to determine when the material added to the scale is within
the target range. In this case the UNDER and OVER limits must be positive values.
(The OVER limit must be greater than the UNDER limit.)
Add material to the scale until it is within the ACCEPT (green) range.
Negative Check
Negative check is used to determine when the material removed from the scale is
within the target range. In this case the UNDER and OVER limits are both negative
values.
(The UNDER limit must be greater than the OVER limit.)
Place the item to be weighed on the scale and press Tare.
Remove a portion of the item until it is within the ACCEPT range.
Zero Check
Zero check is used when comparing subsequent samples to an initial reference
sample. In this case, the UNDER limit must be a negative value and the OVER limit
must be a positive value.
Place the reference item on the scale and press Tare. Remove the reference
sample and place the item to be compared on the scale to determine if it is within
the ACCEPT range.

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 as listed in table 4-1. Ensure that the LFT
switch/calibration lock is set to unlocked position. See figure 5-1.
Or adjust the GEO setting according to your location (see table 4-2).
Procedure:
Press and hold Menu until [mMeNU] (Menu) is displayed. When the button is
released, the display will show [C.A.L]. Press Yes to accept. [SpaN] will then be
shown. Press Yes to begin the span calibration. [ 0kg] will be displayed. Press
Yes to accept. [--C--] will be displayed while zero reading is stored. Next, the
display shows the calibration weight value. Place the specified calibration mass on
the pan. Press Yes to accept the weight or No to select an alternate weight. [--C--]
will be displayed while the reading is stored. The display will show [done] if the
calibration was successful. The scale returns to the previous application mode and
is ready for use. TABLE 4-1.
