Foreword 1
Document conventions
Present on the equipment, it states to refer to the present manual for further information
on the nature of potential dangers and all the precautions to take to prevent such
dangers.
Important warning concerning people safety.
Note concerning the preservation and proper equipment maintenance.
Note aiming to facilitate reading the manual and/or optimally implement the equipment.
CE marking stating that the product is compliant with the main requirements of
applicable directives. It authorizes free circulation throughout all the European
economic area.
Alternative current.
Class II equipment with strengthened isolation.
Recycling
In compliance with the European Directive concerning electric and electronic equipment waste
disposal, this device, including its accessories and batteries must not be disposed of as normal
waste. Please dispose of this device according to your local prescriptions in a separate unit
specifically aimed at electric and electronic equipment.
Safety
The CEI 61010-1 norm indicates that for devices connected through a power outlet, said outlet must
be installed close to the equipment and easily accessible. The mains cable is used as cut-off device.
Mains voltage must not fluctuate over 10% of its nominal voltage.
Make sure mains connection and the cable type are compliant with the country safety specifications. If
the mains voltage and the type of mains cable plug do not meet the current requirements of the country,
please contact your PRECIA MOLEN agency.
Any non conventional use of the device can cause damages and represent a danger for the user.
No damage due to the non compliance with safety rules can be attributed to the manufacturer.

404-45-01-1 MU
i5 indicator - All models
Electromagnetic compatibility
This equipment has been tested and declared compliant with the limits for Class A digital devices,
according to European regulations, to Section 15 of FCC rules (U.S. Federal Communication Commission)
and to Canadian ICES-003 rules.
These limits aim at providing sufficient protection from interferences when the equipment is used in a
commercial environment. If the equipment is used in a residential area, it can cause interferences. Should
this happen in these circumstances, the user will have to correct the situation at their own expenses.
Maintenance
The indicator must be off for maintenance and cleaning operations and if the housing is opened.
Never use solvents or abrasive cleaning products.
Only components accredited by PRECIA-MOLEN can be used to replace faulty components,
particularly batteries, so as to ensure the proper functioning of the machine and the user's safety.
There is an explosion hazard if the battery is replaced by a wrong model. Discard used
batteries in compliance with instructions.
In most cases, repair operations are likely to generate hazardous situations.
Such operations must be asked from PRECIA MOLEN’s services, or one of its representative’s.

General description 2
Introduction
The i5 indicator offers 3 different use modes:
•the SIMPLE WEIGHING mode,
•the COUNTING mode,
•the ANIMAL WEIGHING mode.
Use of keyboard
The i5 indicator offers 5 keys:
•On/Off. Hold pressed to switch the indicator on and off.
•Reset.
•Tare (NET weighing).
•Print command.
•By pressing briefly, access to extra application functions.
To each key is related a second image that defines the features of these keys to navigate into the
menus and to enter the calibration values.
•/ In a menu, previous/following section. To enter a value, increment/decrement the
displayed digit.
•To enter a value, validate the displayed digit. When editing the last digit, validate the
parameter.
•Abort and return to previous level.
•Hold pressed to access the configuration menu from the use mode.

Switching the indicator on
1. Make sure that the scale plate is empty and press the key 
for approx. 3 seconds.
The indicator performs a self-test. Check that all display
elements are visible. The software version is displayed and then
the metrological counter.
2. Once the self-test over, the software version is being displayed.
3. Then the metrological counter(i).
(i) Legal metrology only.
4. In case the Bluetooth option has been installed, the message
showing the initialisation of this interface is displayed.
