SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING-SHOCK HAZARD
For proper grounding, the power connector must only be
mated with a three-wire grounded receptacle.
WARNING-SHOCK HAZARD
For proper grounding, the safety ground wire (green or
green/yellow) must be connected to the general ground
wire.
WARNING-SHOCK HAZARD
Due to the risk of electrical shock, this instrument must
be installed only by qualified personnel.
WARNING- SHOCK HAZARD
Due to the risk of electrical shock, the cover must be
removed only by qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Power is immediately applied when the power cord is
plugged into a live receptacle.
CAUTION
Calibration and configuration must be performed only by
qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Electrical shock hazard. Do not remove cover. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel.
CAUTION
Risk of fire. Replace fuses with the proper spare.
CAUTION
The integrated circuits in the SMART are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Be sure to follow proper
procedures for transporting, storing and handling ESD-
sensitive components.

1.6 Maintenance
1.6.1 Replacing Fuses
If displays do not appear when it is connected to power, the problem may be a
defective ac power fuse. Replace the defective fuse as specified below.
a. Disconnect the indicator by pressing the rear switch and unplug the equipment from the
electric outlet.
b. Disconnect the power cord from the rear side of the equipment.
c. Stainless steel version: Extract the fuse by pulling out the small tab of the fuseholder,
which is in the rear side of the equipment.
ABS version: Extract the fuse by unscrewing the fuseholder, which is in the rear side of
the equipement.
d. Change the damaged fuse for a new one according to the specifications in 1.1.5.
e. Close the fuseholder and connect the equipment.
If the equipment is configured as IP65, replace the fuse as specified below.
a. Disconnect the indicator from the power plug.
b. Remove the rear cover by unscrewing the screws.
c. Remove the fuse protecting cover, which is in the power source.
d. Remove the fuse by pulling it out carefully.
e. Change the damaged fuse with a new one according to the specifications shown in 1.1.5,
and reinstall the protecting cover.
f. Close the equipment and connect it.
WARNING- SHOCK HAZARD
Due to the risk of electrical shock, the cover must be
removed only by qualified personnel.
1.6.2 Cleaning
a. Disconnect the indicator by pressing the rear switch and unplug the equipment from the
electric outlet.
b. Clean the indicator with a clean and dry cloth.
CAUTION
•Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the indicator.
These chemical products could damage it.
•Make sure that water does not enter the indicator. It
could damage electronic components.
Operation

2 Operation
2.1 Turning the indicator on
To turn the indicator on, you must connect the equipment to the power supply and activate the
rear switch. The switch on sequence will first display a display test countdown sequence, then
the software version, the equipment serial number, and finally the number of performed
calibrations.
Figure 2.1.1 Switch on sequence
It would be better to stabilize the equipment for a while before using it, especially
before a calibration. In this case it is advisable to wait for 30 minutes. The equipment may be
permanently connected in order to avoid warm up time and potential condensations in case of
significant changes in the outside temperature.
2.2 Entering Values
To use some of the equipment functions, it is necessary to introduce numerical values.
Use the arrow keys to introduce these values. Use right and left arrow keys to position onto the
digit to be modified, and the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease its value.
2.3 Normal Weighing
When loading the platform, the measured weight is displayed on the display.
Operation
2-2
2.4 Zero
The indicator has a zeroing manual mechanism. When you press the Zero key the
indicator stores the current weight value as the zero of the system.
Operation:
0
2.5 Tare
2.5.1 Activate tare
Press the Tare key. The current value will be stored as tare. The NET led lights
Operation:

2.5.2 Clearing a Tare Value
To clear a tare register in normal operation, that is to say when the tare lock option is
on (see 3.3.3), press Exit and then the Tare key.
Operation:
EXIT
→
T
If the tare lock is off then the tare is automatically deactivated if the conditions
described on 3.3.3 are accomplished.
2.6 Ticket Printout
Press the Print key to print a ticket. If the weight is under the divisions introduced in PR
MIN function (see 3.3.6), the auxiliary display shows“ ”.
Operation:
Ticket ID: 1
Gross 100.0 kg
Tare 0.0 kg
Net 100.0 kg

2.7 Piece Counting
Place a certain number of pieces on the scale, press the Piece Counting key and enter
the number of pieces on the scale. The PCS led lights. From now on the indicator displays the
number of pieces.
Operation:
→No.pieces→
Press Exit and then the Piece Counting key to exit this function.
2.8 Accumulation
This function adds up various weights and gives the number of accumulated weights.
To add the weight that is on the scale into the sum press the Accumulation key.
In order to see the number of weighings, press again the Accumulation key before
losing the stability. If you press this key again, the accumulated total will be displayed. If the
piece counting function is activated, the sum of pieces is displayed.
Operation:
Record the current weight on the scale
Record the current weight on the scale and see the number of accumulated weighings
Record the current weight on the scale and see the total value accumulated
To leave this function press Exit, and then the accumulation key. The total
accumulated and the number of weights will be set to zero.
EXIT
Each time we press a ticket is being printed where is showed, for every
keystroke, the number of weighing and its corresponding weight.
On leaving this function the total accumulated weight is printed.
Operation

2.9 Setpoint
(Accessible only after having installed the digital output accessory)
Pressing the Exit and Tare keys at the same time you access the menu where you can
introduce the weight with which the selected output operates.
Operation:
EXIT
T
Inside the Value level we can find the parameters that are shown in the figure:
Figura 2.9.1 Setpoint
Use the key arrows to move through the menus. Press the Enter and Exit keys to
change the level. If you want to modify a selected parameter, press the Enter key and
introduce the new value with the up and down arrow keys ( ) or choose and option ( ),
as appropiate. Press Enter to accept. Press Exit if you want to exit the menu without making
any changes.
