1. INTENDED USE
Platform scales are designed for fast and precise measurements of
weighed loads masses and direct commercial settlements. Tarring in
full weighing range enables to determine net mass of weighed loads.
Additional display is additional equipment of scale. It is to control
mass of weighed load by another person.
Functions:
•backlight of display
•level of filtration
•median filter
•autozero function
•setting baud rate of transmission
•designation minimum mass for function operating
•automatic tare
•memory of tare
•inscribing tare value
•automatic scale switch-off
•user calibration
2. PRECAUTIONS
2.1. Maintenance
A. Please, read carefully this user manual before and use the device
according to its intended use.
B. Devices that are to be withdrawn from usage should be sent back to
the producer or in case of own utilization do it according to the law.
2.2. Accumulator / battery pack
Scales aquipped with indicator PUE C/31 (plastic casing) are devices
designed to be supplied from NiMH batteries (nickel-metal-hydrogen) with
rated voltage of 1.2V, size R6 and capacities from 1800 to 2800mAh
charged while connected to mains without stopping operation.

- 6 -
The device connected to mains inteligently monitors the battery state and
charges it if possible. After sudden lack of power supply from the mains
the device automatically switches to accumulator without breaking
operation.
In case of an elongated storage period in low
temperatures, it is not allowed the full discharge
of the accompanied batteries.
The equipment including accumulators does not belong
to your regular household waste. The European legislation
requires that electric and electronic equipment be collected
and disposed separately from other communal waste with
the aim of being recycled.
Notice:
Some symbols on accumulators identify harmful elements/compounds:
Pb = lead,
Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury.
2.2.1. Power supply of weighing indicators in plastic casings
Indicators in plastic casing are intended to be supplied from a power
adapter or from NiMH rechargeable battery pack (standard equipment).
New rechargeable batteries should be formatted according to the
description in the chapter 14.4.4. of this manual.
Alternatively, you can use to power the device R6 size standard non-
rechargible batteries. If you want to use normal batteries instead of
rechargeable ones, proceed as follows:
•Before installing non-rechargeable batteries turn on the device
and set <5.5.CHr6> to <no>, to switch off charging.
•Then install the batteries.
Installing batteries without changing <5.5.CHr6> to <no>
may cause damage of batteries and the indicator.

2.2.2. Replacement of worn batteries
Users have the ability to replace worn out batteries to new ones in
weighing indicators PUE C/31 (plastic casing).
Procedure:
•Open the lid of the chamber for batteries placed in the bottom
of the indicator casing:
•Remove discharged and then insert new batteries into the chamber,
according to given polarity (+/-):
•Close the lid of the chamber for batteries:

In PUE C/31H and PUE C/31H/Z weighing indicators
(stainless steel housing) the worn out accumulator can
be exchanged to a new one by the authorized service
of the manufacturer.
2.3. Operation in a strong electrostatic field
If the device is about to operate in a strong electrostatic field (e.g. printing
houses etc.) it should be connected to the earthing. Connect it to the
clamp terminal signed .
3. WARRANTY CONDITIONS
A. RADWAG is obliged to repair or change those elements that
appears to be faulty because of production and construction
reason,
B. Defining defects of unclear origin and outlining methods of
elimination can be settled only in participation of a user and
the manufacturer representatives,
C. RADWAG does not take any responsibility connected with
destructions or losses derives from non-authorized or inappropriate
(not adequate to manuals) production or service procedures,
D. Warranty does not cover:
•Mechanical failures caused by inappropriate maintenance of
the device or failures of thermal or chemical origin or caused
by atmospheric discharge, overvoltage in mains or other
random event,
•Inappropriate cleaning.
E. Loss of warranty appears after:
•Access by an unauthorized service,
•Intrusion into mechanical or electronic construction
of unauthorized people,
•Removing or destroying protection stickers.
F. The detailed warranty conditions one can find in warranty
certificate.

5. UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
5.1. Scales of WPT/P 2 series
Unpack and put the scale on a flat even stable surface far away from
sources of heat and then:
•Remove transport protection:
•Set the pillar with additional
display vertically:
•Screw down the pillar to the scale basis:
•Turn the display head:
