Please note that this equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. This equipment has been tested and has been found to comply with the limits of a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when this equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
The comparator function compares the displayed weight value with the upper limit value (HI) and the lower limit value (LO) and displays the result. The result can be output by a buzzer if option HVW-04CJA is installed.
Do not install the scale near equipment which produces magnetic fields. Do not install the scale where there is apt to be static electricity, in a place where the relative humidity is lower than 45% RH. Plastic and isolators are apt to be charged with static electricity.
Step 6 needs calibration, refer to "14. Calibration". - The display unit can be adjusted in four steps in the up-and-down direction. Setting the display sideways is also possible. (Make sure that the pole is secured at the lower part of the pole using the allen screws. Do not turn the display unit at a joint for the pole.)
Refer to "Accessries List" on page 8. Accessories supplied depend on the scale model. AC adapter Please confirm that the AC adapter type is correct for your local voltage and receptacle type. Base Unit Display unit cover 14:3003217 Caution Do not pull the load cell cable.

Roller conveyor for HV-60KC and HW-60KC RS-232C cable, D-sub 25 pin, 2 m AX-KO2466-200 RS-232C cables are also available in lengths of 5 and 10 m. Note OP-16 is factory-installed. For handling HVW-11C, 13 and 14, refer to the relevant option manual.
Caution Replace used batteries with four new ones, when “lb” is displayed. Do not mix used and new batteries. It may cause damage to the batteries or the scale, if used. Check the battery direction. If the batteries are installed in the wrong direction, it may cause battery leakage.
When removing the load cell cable, do not pull on the load cell cable connector forcibly and do not pull on the wires of the cable. Do not bend the cable forcibly. Use care so that the load cell cable does not touch the pan inside the base unit.
When using where there may be static electricity, ground the scale. The grounding procedure depends on the scale model. Refer to the table below. These procedures are only for grounding part of the scale.

Function table Description When the display is a positive stable value and not nearly-zero, the scale accumulates the data automatically. The next accumulation 5um 3 can be performed after the display becomes nearly-zero or a negative value. When the display is a stable value and not nearly-zero, the scale accumulates the data automatically.
Five-level, three-level and seven-level (portion weighing mode) comparators are available. Each comparator mode compares the weight value against the preset limit values and outputs the results using LEDs (yellow / green / red). When the optional comparator relay output (HVW-04CJA) is installed, the results are output as a relay signal.
10.2. Entering the comparator values 1. In the weighing mode, press and hold the SET key and press COMP key to enter the comparator value setting mode. 2. Enter the comparator values using the following keys.

When all load on the weighing pan is removed, the scale will return to the zero point and the tare weight will be automatically cleared. If the scale does not return to the zero point, press the key to clear the tare weight.
