SECTION 6 OPERATION
NOTE: In order to save energy of the battery to work for longer time, please turn off
the power switch in the crane scale only if you do not use the scale. When the battery
uses up, please charge it immediately.
Method: Open the crane scale, you will find a power switch beside the battery. Please
turn on/off it when you want/do not want to use the scale. When you want charge the
battery, please insert the adaptor into the charge hole on the crane scale.
6.1 Zeroing the Display
You can press the ZERO key at any time to set the zero point from which all other
weighing and counting is measured, within 10% of power up zero. This will usually
only be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the
display will show the indicator for zero.
The scale has an automatic rezeroing function to account for minor drifting or
accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press the ZERO
key to rezero the scale if small amounts of weight are shown when the platform is
empty.
6.2 Taring
Zero the scale by pressing the ZERO key if necessary. The zero indicator will be on.
Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed.
Press the ZERO key to tare the scale (only when the weight is large than 10%
capacity). The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is
subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The "TARE" indicator will be
on. As product is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The scale could
be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one.
Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared
just before removing the container this value is the gross weight of the container plus
all product that was removed. The zero indicator will also be on because the platform
is back to the same condition it was when the ZERO key was last pressed.
NOTE: When the weight is less than 10% capacity, this key function is zero, When
the weight is large than 10% capacity, this key function is tare.
6.3 Weighing a sample
To determine the weight of a sample first tare the empty container then place the

TR-I serial wireless crane scale user’s manual

sample in the container. the display will show the weight and the units of weight
currently in use.
6.4 Accumulated Total
6.4.1 Note
The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing the M+ key. See the
PARAMETERS Section for details of selecting the method using function "F5 P RT".
The accumulation function is only available when weighing.
Please note before every accumulate operate, scale need return to zero, and only
press M+ key when stable, when weight less than 20d, accumulate operate will be
invalid.
6.4.2 Accumulate operate
The weight displayed will be stored in memory when the M+ key is pressed and the
weight is stable.
The display will show "ACC 1" and then the total in memory for 2 seconds before
returning to normal. (after do accumulate operate, M+ indicator will turn on) If the
optional RS-232 interface is installed the weight will be output to a printer or PC.
Remove the weight, allowing the scale to return to zero and put a second weight on.
Press the M+ key, the display will show "ACC 2" and then the new total.
Continue until all weights have been added.
*Note: after you change weighing unit, accumulate value will be clear.
6.4.3 Memory recall
To view the totals in memory press M+ key in zero point (ZERO indicator on).
6.4.4 Memory clear
To clear the memory, just press UNIT key

SECTION 7 PARAMETERS
The scale has 8 parameters that can be set by the user plus a method of entering the
calibration section.
Turn off the power if you are using the scale. then turn on the power, press the UNIT
key at the same time during self-checking.
Display shows “Pn---”, waiting for input password, Input password, HOLD key; UNIT
key and ZERO key. Then press the ZERO key to enter in.
The display will show the first function, "F0 div".
Pressing the DIV key will cycle through the other functions.
Pressing ZERO will allow you to set the function. It may be necessary to either use
DIV or set a value using the HOLD key to move the active digit and then using the
DIV key to increment a digit, followed by the ZERO key to enter the value. Use the
UNIT key to leave a parameter unchanged.
For example when the display shows “F0 DIV”, then press the DIV key to select “F1
az0”, press the ZERO key to begin.
The display will show “az 0.5d”, press the ZERO key to ensure, or press the DIV to
the next parameter. When you select a suitable value, press the ZERO key to
ensure.
After pressing the ZERO key to set a value, use the DIV key to continue to the next
parameter and set it as needed.
When all digits have been set press the ZERO key to store the value. The display
will go back to the parameter just set, Advance to another parameter if needed or
press the UNIT key to return to weighing.
