COUNTING SCALES

一1 .0 Cautions and Preparation
1 .Display and operation panel can be cleaned by the wet towel
but avoid soaking and cleaning.
2. In case that the scale is not in correct zero position, please
press [ZERO] key, auto zero tracking function will work.
3. If a mobile phone or wireless is being used nearby, the display
may flash once but then return to normal status when turning
on. If not, please restart.
4. After long-time use (above one year), if the rechargeable
battery can not last for long time after being recharged for more
than 12-hour, it should be changed. Please contact with the
nearest agency.
5. Please shut off the power suply if the mahcine will not be used
for long time.
6. Please charge the machine in time when the low battery symbol
appears.
Preparation
1 .Avoid placing the machine in direct strong sunlight or draught
that may cause poor performance or malfunctions.
2. Calibration may be required before weighing or when the
machine is initially installed or relocated.
3. Place the machine on a firm and level table and center the
bubble.
4. Please use the individual socket to avoid the interfere of other
wiring·
5. Turn on the machine while there is no load on the pan.
6. Place the weight on the center of the pan for accurate weighing.
Make sure the weight is not over the max capacity as it could
damage the load cell inside.

3 .0 Operation Instructions
3. 1 .Power on
Turn on the machine. After the display shows the battery
voltage for 2seconds, the machine auto-checks and returns
to 0 and enters the weighing mode.
3. 2. Zero
Please check whether there is a zero symbol each time
before weighing. If not, the weight value may be not correct.
Please press [ZERO] key to make it return to zero.
Note: the zero range is the 4% of the maximum capacity of
the scale.
3.3. Unit
Press [UNITS] to select the units: Kg, g, lb and oz in the

weight can't be over the max capacity of the scale). Press
[TARE] and the display shows the negative value, which means
the pre-tare is done.
To clear the tare, please remove the container and the display will
show the negative value. Press [TARE] key and the display
shows 0.

一4 .0 User Setting
In the weighing mode, press [CE] and [QUANTITY CHECK] at
the same time to shift to the user setting.
4. 1 Filter setting
This parameter is for setting the stability of the machine. The
bigger is the value, the more stable is the weighing but the
slower is the weighing speed and vice versa. Press [ZERO]
or [TARE] to modify the parameters. Press [M+] to enter
the next setting or to save the setting and exit to the
normal weighing mode.
4.2 Unit weight sampling
This setting is to assure both accurancy and speed of sampling
through unit weight in different enviroment. User can select 1/2/3.
The default value is 3. Press[ZERO] or [TARE] to modiftv
the parameter. Press [M+] to enter the next setting or to
exit to the normal weighing mode.
Note:
Parameter 1: When the stability symbol appears, press
[QUANTITY CHECK] to sample immediately and show the
result. Otherwise, the calculation will be finished and the result
will be shown in 2seconds.
Parameter 2: When the stability symbol appears, press
[QUANTITY CHECK] to sample immediately and show the
result. Otherwise, it exits the sampling mode without calculation
in 2seconds to assure the sampling accurancy.
Parameter 3: When the stability symbol appears, press
[QUANTITY CHECKS] to sample immediately and show the
result. Otherwise, the machine will self-judge internally and
collect the effect data to proceed the counting. The sampling
will be finished and the result will be shown in 2-8seconds.

This function is to turn on/off sampling self-average. It is for
averaging the unit weight automatically when counting,i.e. when
the added quantity on the pan is 10%-100%, the machine will
calculate the new unit weight according to new quantity, which
makes the calculation more accurate.
Press [ZERO] or [TARE] to modify On/Off mode. Press
[M+] to enter the next setting or to exit to the normal
