7000 SCALES INTRODUCTION Description The Ranger 7000 scale is a precision weighing instrument that will provide you with years of service if properly cared for. The Ohaus Ranger 7000 scales are available in capacities from 3000 grams to 60 kilograms. Features Modular Design: Ohaus Ranger 7000 scales are composed of two interconnected modules: a Terminal and a Base.
EN-5 INSTALLATION Unpacking Carefully remove your Ranger 7000 scale and each of its components from the package. The included components vary depending on the scale model (see table below). Save the packaging to ensure safe storage and transport. R71MHD15 R71MD15...
2.2.1 Terminal Setup When the Ranger 7000 is delivered, the Terminal is already attached (docked) to the Base. No additional setup is necessary. Refer to the illustrations and instructions below to identify and assemble your Ranger 7000 Scale. Note: The Terminal is identical for all Ranger 7000 Scale models.
The Terminal communicates with the weighing base via the Terminal cable. This cable must be plugged into the Terminal for the Ranger 7000 to display properly. If desired, the Ranger 7000 scale may be operated either with the Terminal attached, or remotely (up to 1.5 meters away).
® EN-8 RANGER 7000 SCALES Separating the Terminal from the Weighing Base To detach, press both the Release buttons inward (both at the same time) and gently pull the Terminal towards you (outward) until the Terminal is detached. These Release buttons disengage the two hooks holding the Terminal to the Base.
