Display and Function

General Operation

POWER
To turn the scale on, press the button marked "ON". The
display will first show "8888" followed by "0.0". The scale is
ready for use.
WEIGHING
When the display shows "0.0", the scale is ready to weigh an
object. If the object exceeds the capacity of the scale by more
than 5%, the display will show "oooo" (for overload). Until the
overload condition is reached, additional objects may be placed
on the platform. The display will show the sum of the weights
of all the objects. When one of multiple objects is removed
from the platform, the weight of the remaining objects will
display.
TARE OPERATION
To tare (zero out) a load on the platform (example: the weight
of a container), press the "TARE/HOLD" button. The display
will show the value "0.0". During the "TARE" mode, a new
item can be added to the platform. The display will show the
sum of the weights of the added items. Another item may be
added, if desired. The display will show the sum of all
additional item weights above and beyond the tared out load.
TARE CAPABILITY
A load of up to the capacity of the scale can be tared (zeroed
out), while still allowing the weighing of an additional object,
up to the full capacity of the scale.
Example: Model TE150 has a capacity of 150 lbs. If an item
weighing 20 pounds is on the scale, and the weight is tared
(zeroed out), and additional load or loads of up to 130 lbs can
be weighed. (On a 10 pound scale (TE10), a load of 5 lbs
(50%) can be tared out.
MINUS WEIGHT
If a weight is tared (zeroed out) and is then removed from the
platform, the display will show a minus value.
For example, if a load of 50 lbs is placed on the platform and
the "TARE/HOLD" button is pressed, the display will show
"0.0". If the weight is then removed from the platform, the
display will show "-50.0". If the minus value exceeds -99.9 lbs,
the display will show "----".
To reset the minus weight to zero, press the "TARE/HOLD"
button.
HOLD OPERATION
The "HOLD" function may be used to lock the weight on the
display, even after the load is removed from the platform.
To use the hold function, press and hold the "HOLD" button
for 3 seconds. The display will show "H-on", indicating the
hold feature is on.
To cancel the hold function, press and hold the "HOLD"
button for 3 seconds. The display will show "H-oF", indicating
the hold feature is off.
When the Hold function is on, the weight will continue to
display, even after the item has been removed from the
platform.
UNIT CONVERSION
Press the "lb/kg" button on the front panel to switch between
pound and kilogram units of measurement. A small triangle
appears in the upper left corner of the display for kg mode, or
on the lower left corner for lb mode.
