2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove your Valor 1000 scale and each of its components from the
package. Save the packaging to ensure safe storage and transport.
Please read the manual completely before installing and using the Valor 1000 scale
to avoid incorrect operation.
Components included:
‒Scale
‒Quick Start Guide or NLF User Guide or User Manual*
Scan the QR code to obtain the user manual
‒Power adapter + attaching plug*
‒Stainless steel pan*
‒In-use cover*
‒4 dry batteries*
‒Rechargeable battery*
‒Sealing cover, screw, wire and lead seal*
*The included components vary depending on the region.
2.2 Location
Use the scale on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current,
vibrations, heat sources, or rapid temperature changes. Adjust the leveling feet so
the bubble is centered in the circle.

ValorTM 1000 Series EN-7
2.3 Power
Connect the AC Adaptor to the AC mains supply. Connect the plug to the DC jack
on the bottom of the scale. The scale may be operated on the AC Adapter
connected to mains supply or 4 alkaline batteries.
Note: The AC adapter maybe optional or included with the scale, depending on the
region.
2.4 Rechargeable Battery Power
Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours before using the scale on battery power.
The instrument can be operated during charging, and the battery is protected
against overcharging. For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged
at room temperature.
Note: Availability is depending on region as accessory.
WARNING: Only charge the battery when the ambient temperature is between 0
and 140 °F / 0 and 40 °C.
2.5 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 weight. You can also contact an OHAUS servicing scale
dealer for more information.
When the weighing unit is set to gor kg, the scale is calibrated in kg. When the
weighing unit is set to lb, oz or lb:oz, the scale is calibrated in lb.
Refer to section 4.1 for Span calibration procedures and section 4.3 for unit setting.

container has been captured, place the product being weighed on the platform --
the display will show the weight of the product in the selected unit of measure.
4. SETTINGS
The Menu function in the scale allows several settings to be changed. Long press
Menu for 3 seconds until either C.A.L or L.I.G.H.t is displayed. Then
release the Menu key.

ValorTM 1000 Series EN-9
The calibration menu is only shown when the scale is not in LFT/Approved mode
before verification and sealing. Refer to section 5. Legal For Trade for more
information.
SPAN [SPAN]
Span calibration uses two calibration points, one at zero load and the other at
specified full load (span). For detailed calibration mass information, please refer to
the table in section 2.4.
With no load on the balance, enter the Span Calibration to begin the process.
- Once the scale displays C.A.L, press Yes to enter the calibration menu
and press Yes again to perform a Span calibration.
- After the scale shows --C--,the calibration mass value will be shown in
the screen. Place weight(s) of shown value and press Yes.
- Then the scale shows --C--. Once the span calibration is completed
successfully, the scale displays Done and exits the user menu
automatically.
If incorrect calibration masses are used, the scale displays Cal Eand exits the
user menu automatically.
To abort calibration at any point, press No.
Lin [LIN]
When performing a linearity calibration, the scale will prompt you for a zero weight -
- the platform without anything on it and weight display at zero -- a Midpoint weight
equal to 50% of the Span weight, and a Span weight equal to the full capacity of the
scale.
