1.2 Safety Precautions
Please follow these safety precautions:
 Verify that the AC input voltage printed on the data label matches the local AC power
supply.
 Do not drop loads on the platform.
 Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or tripping hazard.
 Do not position the scale in a way that makes it difficult to pull the power plug.
 Use only approved accessories and peripherals.
 Operate the scale only under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.
 Disconnect the scale from the power supply when cleaning.
 Do not operate the scale in hazardous or unstable environments.
 Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids.
 Do not place the scale upside down on the platform.

Figure 2-1. Install the sub-platform and metal pan
2.3 Selecting the Location
Use the scale on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current, vibrations,
heat sources, or rapid temperature changes. Allow sufficient space around the scale.
2.4 Leveling the Equipment
The Valor Series has a level indicator as a reminder that the scale should be leveled for
accurate weighing. To level the scale, adjust the feet so the bubble is centered in the circle.
Be sure the equipment is level each time its location is changed.

2.5 Connecting Power
AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed. First, connect the AC
power cord (supplied) to the power input jack then connect the AC plug to an electrical outlet.
Figure 2-3A Connect the AC
power plug to the input jack on
the back of scale.
Figure 2-3B Connect AC power plug to
the proper AC supply.
2.5.1 Battery Power:
The scale can be used on AC power immediately. Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours
before using the scale on battery power. The Scale will automatically switch to battery
operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. With AC power, the scale
is constantly charging, so the battery charge indicator (see item 11 in figure 3-2) will remain
lit. The scale can be operated during charging, and the battery is protected against
overcharging.
For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room temperature.
During battery operation, the battery symbol indicates the battery charge level remaining.
The indicator will automatically turn off when the batteries are fully charged.
TABLE 2-1
Symbol
Charge level
0 to 10 % Remaining
11 to 40 % Remaining
41 to 70 % Remaining
71 to 100 % Remaining
Notes:
When battery symbol blinks fast, approximately 30 minutes working time is left.
When [lo.bat] is displayed, the scale will shut off.
Charging the scale must be performed in a dry environment.
CAUTION: Battery is to be replaced only by an authorized Ohaus service
dealer. Risk of explosion can occur if the rechargeable battery is replaced with
the wrong type or if it is not properly connected. Dispose of the lead acid
battery according to local laws and regulations.

IR Sensors
The Valor 7000 is equipped with two IR sensors, one at the front (see figure 3-5) and one at the
rear (see figure 3-3). The front and rear sensors perform the same function. The sensors can be
activated by a hand or other object that is placed at a specified distance in front of the sensor
locations. The sensor activation distance will vary based on the reflective nature of the object. If
unwanted activations occur due to unique situations the sensor can be turned off. See section
4.3 Setup Menu for available settings.
