1. Safety Indication The platform scale may only be plugged into a socket with earth conductors (PE) according to regulations. The protective effect must not be abolished by using an extension line without earth conductors. In case of voltage supplies from networks without connected earth conductor, a comparable protection according to the effective installation guidelines is to build by a specialist.
3. Introduction The platform scale is a scale, which is due to its characteristic functions applicable in almost every area as a multifunctional scale. The display of the platform scale is connected via an approx. 90 cm spiral cable that can be extended to approx.
5. Operation Remove the package from the platform scale and set up on a straight and dry surface. Pay attention to the scale being set up stable and safe. Now if the display shall be set up on a table, you can insert the display stand into the display (see back of display).

7. “ZERO / TARE” Function “ ” Unladen weight / gross - net weighting As already mentioned by means of the “ZERO / TARE” key, the value indicated on the display can be set to zero (tared). The display shows indeed a 0.00 kg value but the weight that was set to zero will be memorized in the internal data storage of the scale and can be accessed.
„PCS“ 9. Counter function The scale enables performing a units count by means of reference weights. The weight of one piece should not fall below the reading precision (definition = d). Please consider the minimum load, resolution and accuracy of the scale. (see technical specifications page 2) The initial operation is performed in two steps.

The display will show shortly “Pr-Set” and then one of the following menu points (listed below). - SEnd (setting data transfer/ further informations under 10.2) - KEY* (per key-press) - ASK (following request of computer) - ConT (continuous data transfer) - STAb (data transfer if scaling value is stable) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

10.1. Functions of the keys in adjustment menu 1. “Print / Unit” The key allows switching between menus and alternating settings. 2. “Count / Enter” key The key is a confirmation key, if settings shall be adopted. 3. “ZERO / TARE” key The key enables going one step back or leaving the menu.
- ASK 10.2.4 Data transfer on request by computer Here the characteristics of the bidirectional interface are emphasized. By means of the following directives the scale can be remote-controlled. This allows an easy integration into systems like e.g. inventory control systems or the Delivery software of certain shipping companies like DHL, GLS etc.

10.3 bAud Adjustment of Baud rate In order to generate a smooth communication, the Baud rate has to be synchronized with the settings at a computer and the software. Select between: 2400 / 4800 or 9600 baud 10.4 Au-PO Auto-Power-OFF The scale allows activating or deactivating the automatic switch-off.

10.7 Ho-Fu Hold function / freeze value on display This function allows holding the weight result at the display, although the load might already be removed from the scale. Options are: - KEY-Ho* 10.7.1 Hold function through key code ( &...

10.8 Zero Adjustment of zero point at initiation of scale This function concerns the zero point of the scale. If a weight is placed on the platform of the scale prior to its initiation, the scale will automatically be set to zero to avoid default measurements. There might be also situations where it might be better to not tare the weight.

10.9 CALib Adjustment calibration/adjustment The scales are calibrated by the manufacturer, but should still be checked regularly on their accuracy. In case of aberrations the scale can be recalibrated by means of this function. Therefore reference weights are required. We recommend using approx. ¾ of the maximum load. 10.9.1 C-FrEE Calibration / Adjustment with arbitrary weight If the display of the scale indicates “C-FrEE”, press and hold the “Count / Enter”...

10.10 rESEt (reset to factory settings) This function facilitates resetting the scale back to factory settings. The settings that are marked on page 6 with an (*) are the factory settings. When the display of the scale indicates “rESEt”, please press the “ZERO / TARE” key until the display indicates “SetEnd”.
