1. INTRODUCTION
§
General and Safety Information
§ For use in dry environments only.
§ This product uses a lead-acid battery. Dispose of according to local laws and regulations.
§ Read and understand all operating instructions before using this product. Keep this manual for future reference.
§ Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale on and allow up to 10 minutes for internal components to stabilize
before weighing.
§ Record the weight shortly after placing a load on the platter. Leaving loads in place for extended periods may vary the load cell’s
output signature and may result in a less accurate reading.
§ Avoid extended exposure to extreme heat or cold. Optimum operation is at normal room temperature. See operating
temperature range in the specifications table. Allow the scale to acclimate to room temperature before using.
§ When storing the scale for extended periods, the battery must be charged every 90 days to avoid premature performance
degradation. Over time, the operating time per charge will degrade. If the operating time is no longer acceptable even after
recharging, the battery must be replaced.
§ Electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers or other electronic devices that
emit radio frequencies that may cause unstable readings.

2. Unpacking and Setup
§ Remove the scale from the box and place it on a firm, level surface. Avoid locations with rapid temperature changes,
excessive dust, moisture, air currents, vibrations, electromagnetic fields, heat or direct sunlight.
§ Adjust the leveling feet until the bubble is centered in the circle of the level indicator
(located on the front panel).
NOTE
: Ensure that the scale is level each time its location is changed.
§ The internal rechargeable battery should be fully charged for up to 12 hours before using the scale for the first time.
§ Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power input receptacle underneath the scale. Plug the AC adapter into a
properly grounded power outlet. The battery will begin charging.
§ If the scale will be stored or transported in the future, save the packaging material to ensure the best possible
protection for the scale.

4. OPERATIONS
§
Normal Weighing Mode
1. Place the scale on a flat, stable surface. Level the scale using the leveling bubble at the lower left side of the display.
2. With the weighing platter empty, turn on power switch (located underneath on the left-hand side of the scale). Due to
the high resolution of this scale, allow 10 minutes for the scale to warm up before use for optimum results.
3. Press the ON/OFF EXIT key to power on the scale. The self-check will run and the scale will display a zero reading.
The scale is now ready for weighing.
Note: If the scale does not zero, an error code will be displayed. See
Troubleshooting
to resolve.
4. To change the weighing unit of measure, press the Unit key to toggle between kg, lb or oz.
5. Set the tare weight if desired.
6. Place objects on the scale platter and read the weight on the indicator.
7. When finished weighing, press the ON/OFF EXIT key for 4 seconds to power off the scale.
§
ZERO function
1. Under the normal weighing mode, press Zero key to set the scale to zero point when the scale reading is stable (the
weighing unit light without shining).
2. When under the tare mode, ZERO key is invalid.
Note: If the scale cannot be zeroed, an error code will be displayed. See
Troubleshooting
to resolve.
§
Setting the Tare Weight
This scale allows for both a manually entered pre-set tare weight, as well as a “weighed” tare weight.
1. To enter a weighed tare:
a. Place an empty container on the platter and press the Tare key. The display will return to zero, eliminating
the weight of the container. The
Zero
light will go off and the
Tare
light will be lit.
Note
: The gross weight must be positive to enter a weighed tare.
b. To clear the weighed tare, remove all weight from the scale. The display will show a negative weight. Press
the TARE key to return the display to zero, eliminating the weight of the container. The
Tare
light will go off
and the
Zero
light will be lit.
2. To manually enter a known tare:
a. Use the number keys to input the tare weight. Your entry will be displayed in the “WEIGHT” display window.
Then press the Tare key to confirm or press the ON/OFF EXIT key to exit and not confirm.
Example
: With the platter empty, entering 100g and pressing the Tare key will display
“
-0.100” kg.
b. To recall the previously stored tare weight, press the RC.PLU key. Press the ON/OFF EXIT key to return to
weighing.
Note
: The previously stored tare weight can only be recalled with the RC.PLU key when in tare setting
mode.
c. To clear the manually entered tare weight, (enter “0” and) press the Tare key to confirm.
d. If unit price is in un-saved mode, the tare weight and unit price will be auto cleared after transaction and
objects being moved.

US-PC60 . 5 .
§
Save function
1. Under non-save mode, tare and unit price will be cleared automatically; Press SAVE key to enter save mode.
2. Under save mode, tare and unit price will not be cleared automatically; Press SAVE key to exit save mode, if the
gross weight is 0, clear tare weight and unit price.
§
Print function
In normal weighing mode, when the scale reading is stable (The weighing unit light without flashing), press PRINT key to
output the data via RS232 according to the set method. Print formats are as follows:
1. Print Out format in HOST mode
ID: xxxxxx
Date: yy-mm-dd
Time: hh:mm
Gross: xxxx.xxx kg/lb/oz
Tare: xxx.xxx kg/lb/oz
Net: xxxx.xxx kg/lb/oz
Unit Price: xxxxxx.xx $/kg($/lb) ($oz)
Total Price: xxxxxx.xx $/kg($/lb) ($oz)
==========================
2. Print out format when OS-2130D printer is connected (example):
Label dimension is 58mm ×40mm Label dimension is 58mm ×60mm
3. Content of printed out:
§

232.out is set to PRTd60), the UNIT PRICE window shows empty or the last six characters of the ingredients.
6. Use numerical keys and CLEAR key to input the ingredients (the length of the ingredients is 80 char), use ENTER
key to confirm the char on flashed position or confirm the ingredients, or use ON/OFF EXIT key to exit this mode and
return back to the normal weighing mode.
7. When the TOTAL PRICE window displays “LIFE” (prompt to input shell life), UNIT PRICE WINDOW shows input data.
8. Use numerical keys and CLEAR key to input the LIFE(<=253), use ENTER key to confirm, or press ON/OFF EXIT
key to exit this mode and return back to the normal weighing mode.
9. When "Unit.0" or "Unit.1" is shown in the UNIT PRICE window, that means the weight unit of the stored unit price is
per Kg (Unit.0) or per lb (Unit.1). The TOTAL PRICE window will show empty.
10. Use UNIT key to choose $/kg or $/lb, press ENTER to save the chosen unit and go to the next step, or press
ON/OFF EXIT to exit the input and return back to the normal weighing mode.
11. The TOTAL PRICE window displays “UNit.P” (prompt to input unit price ), the UNIT PRICE window shows input data.
12. To press 0～9 and CLEAR key to input the unit price, press ENTER key to store and confirm, or press
ON/OFF EXIT key to exit this mode and return back to the normal weighing mode.
13. The TOTAL PRICE window displays "tArE" (set the digit tare), the UNIT PRICE window displays the entered data.
14. Use the numerical keys 0-9 and CLEAR key to input the tare weight, use ENTER key to store and confirm, then go
to the next store unit setting, namely, plus one to the last Address, then repeat the steps from 1-14; Or
press ON/OFF EXIT key to give up input and back to the normal weighing mode;
§
Recall direct PLU：

US-PC60 . 7 .
Recall the stored direct unit price by pressing 1-9 key down more than 2.5s, the
recalled unit price will be displayed in unit price window. The total price window will display “duP.xx”, then followed by the
actual total price.
§
Recall indirect PLU
1. Under the normal weighing mode, press RC.PLU key to enter this mode, and display "rc.PLU" in WEIGHT window,
display "Addr." (The Address range is from 1 to 265) in TOTAL PRICE window, the UNIT PRICE window will display the
input address data.
2. Use the numerical 0～9 and CLEAR key to input the PLU’s address, use Enter key to confirm and go to the next
step or press ON/OFF EXIT key to exit this mode and return back to the normal weighing mode.
3. Then the UNIT PRICE window will display the recalled unit price, the TOTAL PRICE window displays “PLU.XXX”(XXX is
the Address) and then will go back to the normal total price displaying mode later, and then use new unit price, tare
weight, new weight unit trade name, shell life)
5. LCD contrast and Backlight mode setting
1. Under the normal weighing mode, press and hold down ON/OFF EXIT and 1 key at the same time until the WEIGHT
