measurements and the total “Price to pay” are stored in the memory for the
created current account.
Interfaces for connection with a cash register, computer and label printer
are optional. This expands the opportunities to operate with VDS scales. All
scales from the range have built-in additional devices and functions such as
information about the battery charge, thermometer, backlight and etc. The

capacity (3/6 kg, 6/15 kg, 6/30 kg и15/30 kg). The mark “C” means this scale is
price computing, the mark “Р” – scale for postal services.
Features:
Highly accuracy load cell;
Quick and precise weighing;
ZERO and TARE functions;
Software “damper” protection from vibrations and air draughts;
Front indication for the customer, installed on convenient flexible tower;
Overload warning and low battery warning;
Plastic protector;
Built-in rechargeable battery;
Interface connection with cash register and computer (optional);
Interface connection with label printer (optional);
Automatic price calculation;
Total “Price to pay” calculation for multiple measurements;
Subtraction of the last measurement form the current account;
Backlight on the display;
Built-in thermometer.

1.Environment requirements:
Operation temperature range: - 10С÷ + 40С;
Storage temperature: - 25С÷ + 40С;
Permissible relative humidity: < 80%. Condense is not allowed.

2.Preparation for work and scale maintenance :
Before start using the scale, check whether the set is full. Check for mechanical
damages which may have occurred during transportation. For the right functioning
of the scale it is necessary to be placed on stable and flat surface; the four
adjustable feet are used to level the scale. During the leveling watch the mounted in
the down left angle bubble-level. After turning the scale on wait 10 minutes before
starting to use it. Attention!
1. The scale is a precise instrument. Please, place it on flat surface and avoid serious
hits. Loads over the maximum capacity can damage the load cell permanently. Avoid
placing it on vibrating surfaces and close to sources of strong electro-magnetic fields;
. Keep the scale in airy and dry place; avoid leaving it under direct sunlight;
3. Check the functionality of the display during the automatic testing of the scale
. Do not use chemical and abrasive dissolving agents for cleaning it. Please, clean

4.3. Zero setting – If there is some minimal reading on the display, it can
be zeroed by pressing key.
4.4. Work with tare – After placing the package (tare) on the pan, press
key. Readings on the display is zeroed and the indicator „net weight“ lights
up. This mean that next readings will be net weight. To remove tare, unload the
scale. The display will show the weight of the tare with „-“ and the indicator
„tare“ lights up. By pressing TARE key the scale is zeroed again.
4.5. Weight measuring – The item to be weighted is placed on the scale
pan; the first line of the display shows th measured weight. The weight data are
considered correct, when the indicator for stable reading lights up.

the scale enters in mode for selecting PLU number. When in PLU selection
mode on the second line will is displayed the last entered PLU number. Pressing
the key will clear the displayed PLU and new PLU can be entered from the
eypad. The new entered PLU is confirmed by pressing the
kkey again.
After
the
confirmation the scale returns to normal operating mode and displays the
price of the selected PLU on the second line of the LCD display. This price can
be cleared by pressing key.
4.9. Label printing – After measuring the load placed on the scale and
after entering it’s PLU number the data from the measurement and the
information about the product can be printed on label printer by pressing the
key. All the data will be sent to the label printer and a label will be printed
according to the loaded form the printer. in
