2. UNPACKING & INSTALLATION
2-1. Unpacking
Unpack the container carefully. Examine the packaging and the device for any
damage, and report it to the shipper if there is any. Try to keep the scale
upright.
Check for enclosures as follows:
①Scale main ｕｎｉｔ
②Weighing pan with pan base
③AC Adaptｅr
④Operation manual
Note : 1. If any items are missing or any damage is discovered immediately notify
your place of purchase or a dealer.
2. Keep box and shock absorber pad after installation. They are required for
transportation.
2-2. Installing the Weighing Pan
Place the pan base packed with the weighing pan on the scale. Fix it by driving
the nut on the pan base to the screw in the center of the scale. Place the
weighing
pan properly on the pan base.
* The receiving element of the pan base is directly linked with the delicate weighing
mechanism. A tension or a side force may damage the unit.
2-3 To Level the Scale
The scale must be level for proper operation. Use the 4 level adjusters located at
the 4 corners of the scale main unit to adjust the horizontal position of the scale
until the bubble of the bubble level lies within the red circle. Ensure that the
scale sits solidly and does not wobble due to uneven adjustment.

2-4 Performance Test
1.Connect the AC adapter at the rear of the scale, then plug the cord in line
outlet．
2.Press the ON/OFF key. All display, segments and characters will blink for
about 4 seconds as a self test.
3. Verify that the display changes by touching the pan slightly, and that it
returns immediately to the original by releasing it．
** INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
The ＣＸＩＩ is a precision instrument and requires careful handling. Try to select a good,
clean environment for installing the scale．The following factors may cause the scale to
return inaccurate measurements．
1. Installation on a soft surface that may flex when objects are put on it or put on the
scale.
2. Environments that have greatly varying temperature and humidity.
3. Environments subject to vibration or an unstable surface for installation of ｔｈｅ scale.
4. Environments subject to air flow from heaters or other air conditioning units.
5. Environments subject to corrosive gases or large amounts of dust.
6. Environments subject to direct sunlight.

4. BEEP SIGNALS AND CONDITION SYMBOLS
ＣＵＸＩＩ signals you various messages by four different beep signals and four
symbolic letter as shown as under. These signals and symbol tell you;
(a) instruction to the next operation, (b) warning for faulty operation,
(c) indication of unsuitable data, (d) indication of measuring
condition.
4-1 Messages by beep
Beep Signal Conditions
Short beep (one time) : Confirmation for pressing the key.
Long beep (one time) : Completion for set data storing.
Short beep (two times)
: Warning for faulty key operation. (Try to re-input)
Short beep (three times)
: Warning for miss key operation. (Stop the
operation)
4-2 Messages by symbolic letters
Symbol Conditions
LIGHT
The UNIT W. is too light for the balance resolution. Impossible to
count, use a balance of smaller capacity.
While flickering, it is possible to count, but a counting error may be
produced due to the rough uniformity of the samples or depending
on the accuracy of the balance.
ADD Please add samples. -- while SCS operation --
NON UNI
The samples are not uniformed or contain some irregular material.
Unload samples until the symbol goes off or pick the irregular
material off from sampling material.
-- while SCS operation --
EXCESS Too many samples have been added. -- in SCS operation –
Unload samples until the symbol goes off.

5. OPERATION
Basic operation is divided into the four procedures
(A) Tare if necessary
(B) Unit weight set ( sampling)
(C) Re-Sampling if necessary
(D) Counting ( loading all the samples )
Procedure (A) has 2 ways
Procedure (B) has 4 ways
Besides normal counting method, we have 2 different methods
Other operations include
(E) Memory look-up
(F) Memory store
(G) Memory call-up
(H) Limit set and comparing
( I ) Function set

5-1. Tare
1.) Tare with actual tare load
Load tare.
Press T key.
2.) Tare with numerical keys.
Enter tare weight with numerical keys.
Press TARE PRESET key.
# You must pre-load the tare before sampling.
< Set data clear >
Press C/AC key until the display goes “0“.
< Look up tare >
Press TARE PRESET key.
Current tare value shown on display for about 2 sec.

5-2. Unit weight set (sampling)
1.) Quantity set sampling
Tare the balance by pressing Tkey.
Display : Exactly 0 .
Load samples precisely counted in advance.
Enter quantity* of the samples with the numerical keys.
Press SMPL SET key.
( * you cannot get accurate counting without correct quantity set.)
Features
-Since it is difficult to count many samples by manuals , we can usually load
few pieces.
-Re-sampling is strongly recommended.
-Sampling error can occur depending on how re-sampling is made. (depends
on operators )
< Set data clear >
Press C/AC until the display goes “0“.
8

2.) Direct entering of unit weight
Enter unit weight with numerical keys.
Press UNT.W. SET key.
Features
-Good when average weight is almost precisely known.
-Bad when unit weight set differs a lot from samples’average.
-Re-Sampling is recommended.
-Sampling error can occur depending on how re-sampling is made. (depends
on operators )
< Set data clear >
Press C/AC until the display goes “0“.

3.) SCS (Automatic re-sampling system)
1. Press SCS key.
Beep then flicker : on 5 * (on QUANTITY display)
(*Initial quantity can be changed by ten-key)
Appear : ADD (on WEIGHT display)
2. Load exactly five(5) samples.
Flicker to the RED LED in the SCS key and PuSh on WEIGHT display
3. Press SCS key.
4. Add an optional quantity but within number of acceptable addition
quantity (display on the UNIT W. position).
Adding samples are no needs count.( because acceptable number decrease at
adding.) If too many samples added, sampling cannot be proceeded. Scale tells
you by the sign Sub. Meaning subtract quantity.
Wait to stable after beep then flicker :ADD (on WEIGHT display)
Also change to the acceptable addition quantity.
5. Continue the previous operation until the scale automatically completes
sampling.
However, even before the conditioning, the reference unit weight may be fixed
on by pressing the SCS key at an optional time when the fixation is required.
(In this case, sampling accuracy is not guaranteed.)
Features
-Operators can just concentrate on counting a few pieces.
-Just following the instruction brings accurate sampling.
-Re-sampling is not necessary in most cases.
-No sampling error. (not depend on operators)
-Scale rejects samples in failure of unit weight set.

[Look up limit values]
Press LMT key. Li‑LO appears at Weighing display, and low limit value shows
that currently set at UNIT. W display.
Press LMT key. Li‑HI appears at Weighing display, and high limit value
shows that currently set at UNIT.W display.
Press LMT key. Go back to working area.
In case that only one point(13.Pn. 1) is selected to set, low limit value shows after
press LMT key at once go back to working area.
[Comparing ( how limit function work )]
Suppose two limits have been set;
When the quantity is under the low value, it is ranked as “LO “
When the quantity is between the low value and the high, it is ranked as “OK “
When the quantity is over the high value, it is ranked as “HI “
Notes
# Such settings as lower limit value >= Higher limit value will be error.
# Comparative judgment condition;
At one point(13.Pn. 1) :
LO : value < lower limit. OK: lower limit =< value.
At two point(13.Pn. 2) :
LO: value < lower limit
OK: lower limit =< value =< higher limit
HI : higher limit< value
# We get beep sound in response to comparing result.
The condition is selectable by function set.
