WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Setting, Calibration Inspection and Maintain of the indicator is
prohibited by Non-professional sta.
Please make sure the weighing display have good ground in using
e indicator is the static and sensitive equipment,
cut o the power during electrical connections,
internal components touched by hand is prohibited,
and please take the measure of anti-static.

Ensure that all parts are accounted for:
• WeighSouth WS10 Indicator
• Weighing Platform
• Column
• Wall Mount Bracket
• Required parts bag
• Operation manual
e correct location is crucial to the accuracy of the weighing
results. Select a stable, vibration-free and level location. e ground
must be able to safely bear the weight of the fully loaded scale.
1. Set the weighing platform on the selected level workplace
2. Aer rst removing the platter, loosen the shipping screws
located at each corner of the platform. ree full turns of
the screws is necessary. e scale will not function properly if
the shipping screws are touching the top sub assembly.
3. Attach the column to the underside of the bottom frame by
using the 4 hexagon head screws supplied. On certain models
choose which side of the weighing platform will better suit
your needs.
4. Tuck the load cell cable in the column and out the top of the
column.
5. Attach the indicator to the column using the umb screw
provided.
6. Attach the Load cell connector to the WS10 Indicator by lining
up the ports correctly.

1.3 Drawing

1. When you use the internal battery rst time, you should
charge the battery fully, to prevent low voltage resulted from
self leakage of battery.
2. When the “battery” light is on, means low battery.
3. e light turns to yellow during charging
4. When the light turns to green, means fully charged.
5. If the battery is not used for a long time, take it out to avoid
leakage

Power on & o
Press 2 seconds to power on or power o, aer power on the
indicator show ”000000-999999”.
2.3 Zero operation
1. Initial zero setting:
When power on the indicator, if the weight on the scale
is within the initial zero tolerance, indicator show zero
automatically.
2. Manually Zero setting:
When the scales is stable, and not the negative display, you can
zero the weight within tolerance by press key.
2.4 Tare operation
Press “TARE” key, the gross weight is tared, indicator shows
the Net weight, the “Net” “tared” status light is on. At tare mode,
Press” TARE” key, clear the tare weight, the indicator will show the
gross weight.
2.5 Accumulation operation
At Zero mode, load weight till stable, Press go to accumulation mode,
”Total” light on, display” n 001”, and then display loaded weight; unload
the weight, back to zero, load the second weight again till stable.
Press display”n002” then display the second loaded weight. Repeat
Check the accumulation
Press “PRINT “key and hold it then press “TOTAL”” key,
display ”n**”, (it is the accumulating times) then show total weight.
there are 8 digits totally. It shows the rst 4 digits then the last
4 digits. For example, the rst 4 digits is”0012”, the last 4 digits
is”34,56” It means the actual weight is “1234.56”
it agin and again, maximum 999 times.

EXIT the accumulation function
When the indicator show the last 4 digits, Press hold it, the
indicator shows “clrn”, it means don’t clear the total Weight, Press
“PRINT” key to exit it; if you want to clear total weight, Press
“ZERO” or “TARE” key, “clrn” change to “clry” it means clear total
weight, then Press “PRINT” to clear the total weight and exit ac-
cumulating mode.

2. Load the goods on the platform scales and then the indicator
will show the quantity.
3. Press” Count” back to weighing mode.
4. If you want to weigh dierent goods, at weighing mode, put
the sample on the platform scales, press” Count” the indicator
show ”0” Press “ Count” hold it and then press “ ON/OFF”

1. Reduce the weight
2. Check load cell connection
3. Inspect load cell. Check the input
and output
nnnnnnn
1. Calibration is o
2. Wrong connection
3. Load cell has quality
issue
1. Check scale feet to see if they are
level
2. Check load cell connection.
3. Checking load cell: check input
and output resistance
ERR1
During calibration, not
input the weights or the
weight is overload
Input the correct weights

4.2 Daily Maintain
1. Protect the indicator from strong sunlight to prolong the
using life
2. Good connection between load cell and indicator. Far from
away from strong electric eld, magnetic eld.
3. Power o the indicator when lightning
4. Power o the indicator rstly before unplugging
4.3 Restore default parameter
