WARNINGS
The purpose of this manual is to familiarise the user with the different weight indicator operating modes, key functions and display
instructions.
We recommend carefully following the instructions when programming the weight indicator, as to do otherwise could jeopardise
proper scale operation.
In addition to having all the conventional features of a high precision scale, the indicator offers extra user features such as the fun-
ction of converting the unit of measurement into pounds, converting net weight/gross weight, gross weight or net weight setpoint,
in-out truck weighing, single scale universal repeater, multi-scale repeater, approved weight transmission to PC with alibi memory,
+/- checkweighing, sample weight percentage, weight hold on display, peak sensor, weighing accumulator, piece counting.
These features make it suitable both for industrial use as well as for legal use with third parties and in trade, meeting the most up to
date needs as far as transmission and data printing via the two bidirectional serial ports.
This manual was written with the utmost care but we always welcome feedback on any inaccuracies you may find.
The instrument is covered by warranty and MUST NOT BE OPENED BY THE USER for any reason. Any attempt to repair or modify
the unit could expose the user to the risk of electrical shock and will render all warranty conditions null.
All problems with the unit or the system must be communicated to the manufacturer or the dealer from which it was purchased. In
any case, DISCONNECT POWER before any operations.
The instrument is insulated between the dangerous voltage area and the parts that are accessible to the user.
• Do not pour liquids onto the indicator (eccept for models with IP65 protection or higher).
• Do not use solvents to clean the indicator.
• Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight or sources of heat.
• Set or secure the indicator and the platform on a base with no vibrations.
• All the indicator connections must be made respecting the applicable standards in the installation area and environment.
Whatever is not explicitly described in this manual is to be considered improper use of the equipment.
Do not install in atmospheres with the risk of explosion.
The crossed out wheelie bin symbol on the product shows that it must be brought to appropriate separate waste
collection centres at the end of its life cycle or returned to the dealer when purchasing a new equivalent product.
Proper separate collection to then send the product to recycling contributes to preventing possible negative effects
on the environment and to health and promotes recycling. Users who dispose of the product illegally shall face
administrative sanctions as provided for by law.

POWER SUPPLY VIA MAINS
POWER SUPPLY VIA BATTERY
INTEGRATED THERMAL PRINTER
Every IPC range indicator is equipped with a specific power cable or charger, depending on the model.
The only exceptions are the specific models for explosive atmospheres, in which case refer to the specific manual. The safety stan-
dards in force must be respected when connecting the unit to the 110/240V mains, including the use of a “clean” line with no distur-
bances or interferences caused by other electronic equipment. The power-on LED (if available) on the front panel comes on if the
instrument is powered correctly. If there is an internal rechargeable battery, it is charged automatically.
The printer is usually in STAND-BY and is only powered by the weight indicator when it is time to print in order to ensure the battery
holds it charge longer.
Once printing is complete, the printer automatically goes back into STAND-BY.
How to manually switch on the printer
Go into the configuration menu and enable the on.prin function (see page 49)
How to replace the roll
The LoW.bAtt message precedes automatic instrument switching off.

Example of ticket/label Esempio di packing list
If the instrument is equipped with a printer, the ticket or label can be customised as shown in the following example.
If a weight less than 10% of the capacity is on the scale when it is switched on, the weight is automatically reset.
This function is useful in automatically resetting a container, pallet or small structure without having to recalibrate the scale.
The indicator keyboard can be deactivated in order to avoid accidentally carrying out the available functions.

Weights over 10% can be reset by changing the original calibration. Automatic reset when the scale is switched on
can be deactivated.

SAVING BATTERY POWER
AVAILABLE TARE FUNCTIONS
This function activates when the scale is completely unloaded and has not been used for a set amount of time (standard 5 minu-
tes). To activate or deactivate automatic switching off, go into the autoff section in the configuration menu (see page 49).
WARNING
In accumulation and formulation mode, automatic switching off causes the accumulation in progress to be lost.
The instrument is equipped with advanced battery power saving functions designed to increase operating time.
The instrument allows you to choose from specific tare functions for your needs:
• “Locked” tare (standard factory configuration).
• “Unlocked” tare: automatically deleted every time the scale is unloaded. Useful in preventing errors when the tare is different
for every weighing.
• Tare acquired automatically by the scale. Tare is only acquired if there is no other saved tare value.
• Tare function disabled.
To customise the tare function, go into the tare section in the configuration menu (see page 49).
Saving battery power requires advanced configuration.
