I. Precautions before Using the Scale Environment The scale should always be used in an environment, which is free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight reading. DO NOT install the scale: Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid temperature changes.
Protection in the transportation When the initial use, please refer to the following drawing to take off the protection screw. When the transportation will be made, please install the protection screw on the machine to avoid any damage sensitive components. Leveling the Scale The scale is equipped with a level indicator on the left bottom side of the front panel and four adjustable leveling feet.

Indicated Symbols Symbols Specification Scale is in TARE mode. ZERO Scale is in ZERO mode. Scale is in ACCUMULATION mode. Stable The display reading is in STABLE condition. Lack of Sample Weight S.W. If the total sample weight on the pan is less than 10 display lack divisions, a triangular indicator will appear to remind the user to add more samples until the indicator disappears.
III. Keypad Functions Keys Specification Numeric keys Decimal point key Use this key to set the backlight on or off. Use this key to clear out the displayed numeric CLEAR/EXIT readings. Use this key to exit from setting mode. If there is a minor weight displayed without ZERO anything on the pan, Press the zero key to clear the display.
IV. Description of the Connectors Output ports The scale is designed with two output ports: 1. Bidirectional RS-232, which can be connected to PC, printer, and a control box to output 3 section control signal 2. 9-pins connector for a remote platform. Position of the connectors Both of the connectors are located at the left side of the bottom housing.
V. Operations (I) Switch on & off Push the ON/OFF switch to “I “position to turn on the scale & to “O” position to turn off the scale. (II) Change Platform 1. When local platform is used, you can press LOCAL/REMOTE key to change to remote platform.

VI. User Programming Functions (I) Auto. shut off time span . . . . 1. Turn on the scale & press key 4 times one after another during counting down (self-checking) to zero to enter into USER PROGRAMMING FUNCTION MODE. The displays will indicate as below eventually.
2. Press TARE/P.TARE/MOVE key to revolve the system-preset units of Measure. (o – kg or g, 1 – lb) (Default setting: 0) 3. Press CLEAR/EXIT key to determine and return to normal counting mode press TOTAL/PRINT/ENTER determination and move to next. (III) Backlight type 1.
Manual backlight Press key to switch on and off backlight. The backlight can’t be closed right after switched on. It can be done only when the Unit Weight has been confirmed and the value in display window stops flickering. ★ Scale will keep the backlight type selected in memory for next use.
When adding objects to the pan, be sure that the quantity is LESS THAN those already on the pan. The alarm will sound a beep when the unit weight is averaged again. ★ Recomputing function effective only after sampling operation is done.
(VI) Baud Rate setting 1. Keep pressing TOTAL/PRINT/ENTER USER PROGRAMMING FUNCTION MODE and release until the following displays appear. WEIGHT UNIT WEIGHT COUNT B.rate 82483 Battery Ib kg Local Remote HI OK Stable Zero NET lack lack 2. Press TARE/P.TARE/MOVE key to revolve the system-preset baud rate.
2. Press TARE/P.TARE/MOVE key to revolve the system-preset label format types. (Form0~9) (Default setting: 0) Note: When a label printer is used, the file name of the label format must be FORM (0~9) (such as FORM0, FORM1, FORM2, and etc.) 3.
