5 Operation
5.1 Measurement
Press the [ON/OFF] key to turn on the scales.
After turning on the scales, it performs a self-test and counts down to “0” (7, 6, 5, 4, etc.). After
that, it switches to weighing mode automatically.
When there is no load on top of the weighing pan, the display should show “0”. If this is not the
case, press the [ZERO] key to zero the display.
If the reading is stable, a stable indication appears on the display. Now you can read the weight
of the object.

Taring
The scales have a taring function which allows you to tare multiple times throughout the full
weighing range.
To do so, put a weight on top of the weighing pan, wait for the reading to stabilize and press the
[ZERO] key. The display now shows “0”. If you remove the load from the weighing pan, the
display shows its weight as a negative value.
The taring function is very useful when you want to weigh objects in a container, for example.
Put the empty container on the scales, tare its weight and fill it with the objects to be weighed.
Change the weighing unit
To change the weighing unit, press the [UNIT] key. There are different units available, such as
g, ct, oz, tola, …
The current reading is shown on the display in the selected unit.
5.2 Further functions
5.2.1 Piece counting function
Turn on the scales and wait for the display to show „0“. Press the [ZERO] key to zero the
display if necessary.
Now press the [PCS] key. The display shows a piece number of “0” if the scales are not loaded.
By pressing the [UNIT] key, you can choose the reference piece number (10, 20, 50 or 100).
Select the desired option (e. g. 10 pcs) and put the corresponding number of pieces on the
weighing pan.
Press the [PCS] key again. The piece counting function is now configured. You can now put any
amount of pieces on top of the weighing pan (mind the measuring range) and the scales show
the actual number of objects.
You can re-configure the reference number at any time by pressing the [UNIT] key.
5.2.2 PRINT
By pressing the [PRINT] key, the current reading is sent out via the USB interface. Depending
on the setting, the scales either send out the readings when the [PRINT] key is pressed,
continuously or once the reading is stable.

5.3 Settings
5.3.1 Interface
Press the [ON/OFF] key to turn off the scales and press the [ON/OFF] key again to turn them
back on. The scales now perform the self-test procedure. Once the display shows “-----“, press

The display now shows “b 9600”. Here you can set the baud rate of the interface. By pressing
the [UNIT] key, you can switch between the available options: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600.
Press the [ZERO] key to go to the next setting, where you can set the parity.
You can choose between “P NONE”, “P EVEN” and “P Odd”. Use the [UNIT] key to switch
between these options.
By pressing the [ZERO] key, you get to the transmission settings. Here you can select when the
reading are sent out via the data interface.
Press the [UNIT] key to switch between the following options: “CON” (continuous transmission),
“OFF” (no transmission), “Key” (pressing the [PRINT] key transmits the current reading), “Stb”
(transmission once the reading is stable).
Press the [ZERO] key once again to return to normal weighing mode.

the zero tracking function makes sure that these changes do not
affect the zero point.
- Zero range at boot-up: When starting the device, all loads within this range will be set to
zero.
- Zero range: When pressing the [ZERO] key, all loads within this range will be
set to zero.
- Taring range: Load range in which the tare function can be used.

6 Calibration
6.1 When to calibrate?
The scales are factory calibrated. However, we recommend calibrating the device on a regular
basis (once a year) to guarantee accurate readings.
To calibrate the device, you need a calibration weight which is available in our online shop.
Before performing a calibration, the scales should be running for at least 15 minutes.
6.2 One-point calibration
Press the [ON/OFF] key to turn on the scales. The scales now perform the self-test procedure.
Once the display shows “-----“, press the [ZERO] key. The display now shows “CAL”. Press the
[ZERO] key again to confirm.
The display now shows the recommended calibration weight in grams. If you want to use a
different weight for calibration, you can set it by using the [PCS] and the [UNIT] key. Use the
[PCS] key to increase the value of the selected digit and use the [UNIT] key to go to the next
digit. After that, put the weight on top of the weighing platform. Wait for the reading to stabilize
and press the [ZERO] key to confirm.
After a successful calibration, the device automatically switches to weighing mode.
