1. INTENDED USE
PUE C/31 designed for quick and precise measurements of weighed
loads masses. Tarring in full weighing range enables to determine net
mass of weighed loads. Optional additional display enables observing
of weighing process by another person.
Functions:
xbacklight of display
xlevel of filtration
xautozero function
xsetting baud rate of transmission
xcontinuous data transmission for RS 232
xautomatic operation for RS 232
xdesigned printouts
xdesignation minimum mass for function operating
xcounting pieces
x+/- mass control
xpercentage deviation from standard mass
xlatch of maximum scale indication
xautomatic tare
xmemory of tare
xMemory of 9 tare values
xinscribing tare value
xautomatic scale switch-off
xuser calibration
xTotalizing
xWeighing animals
User functions may have attribute of accessibility. For this reason
it is possible to adjust scale to individual needs to provide access
to only these functions which are currently needed. Attribute
determination accessible / inaccessible is possible in user
menu and described in further part of manual.

2. PRECAUTIONS
2.1. Maintenance
A. Please, read carefully this user manual before and use the device
according to its intended use.
B. Dead batteries (accumulators) should be utilized according to the law;
C. Devices that are to be withdrawn from usage should be sent back to
the producer or in case of own utilization do it according to the law.
In case of an elongated storage period in low
temperatures, it is not allowed the full discharge
of the accompanied batteries.
2.2. Power supply
Indicators in plastic casing are intended to be supplied from a power
adapter or from NiMH rechargeable battery pack (standard equipment).
New rechargeable batteries should be formatted according to the
description in the chapter 14.4.4. of this manual.
If you want to use normal batteries instead of rechargeable ones,
proceed as follows:
xBefore installing non-rechargeable batteries turn on the device
and set <5.5.CHr6> to <no>, to switch off charging,
xThen install the batteries.
- 6 -
Installing batteries without changing <5.5.CHr6> to <no>
may cause damage of batteries and the indicator.
2.3. Operation in a strong electrostatic field
If the device is about to operate in a strong electrostatic field
(e.g. printing houses etc.) it should be connected to the earthing.
Connect it to the clamp terminal signed .

3. WARRANTY CONDITIONS
A. RADWAG is obliged to repair or change those elements that appears
to be faulty because of production and construction reason,
B. Defining defects of unclear origin and outlining methods of elimination
can be settled only in participation of a user and the manufacturer
representatives,
C. RADWAG does not take any responsibility connected with
destructions or losses derives from non-authorized or inappropriate
(not adequate to manuals) production or service procedures,
D. Warranty does not cover:
xMechanical failures caused by inappropriate maintenance of
the device or failures of thermal or chemical origin or caused
by atmospheric discharge, overvoltage in mains or other
random event,
xInappropriate cleaning.
E. Loss of warranty appears after:
xAccess by an unauthorized service,
xIntrusion into mechanical or electronic construction
of unauthorized people,
xRemoving or destroying protection stickers.
F. Warranty conditions outline the warranty period for rechargeable
batteries attached to the device for 12 months.
G. The detailed warranty conditions one can find in warranty certificate.
H. Contact with the central authorized service:
[phone] ext. 106 or 107.

4. MAIN DIMENSIONS
Main dimensions of PUE C/31
Main dimensions of PUE C/31H, PUE C/31H/Z
5. GETTING STARTED
xAfter connecting platform to a PUE C/31 indicator put the platform
on a flat stable ground far away from sources of heat. Level out the
platform.
- 8 -

xTurn the device on using the
key – keep pressing the key
for about 0.5 sec,
xWait for the test completion,
xThen you will see zero indication and pictograms:
- zero indication
- stable result
kg - weight unit
xIf the indication is not zero press zero key.
