SAFETY PRECAUTIONS For safe operation of the weighing indicator, please follow these instructions: ● Calibration inspection and maintenance of the indicator are prohibited by non-pro- fessional staff ● Please ensure that the indicator rests on a stable surface ● The indicator is a piece of static sensitive equipment; Please cut off power during electrical connections ●...
POWER SUPPLY AC Adapter The indicator is charged by an ac adapter, plug the adapter directly into the “DC” pin located at the back of the indicator. We recommend to plug into a wall outlet to avoid interference with other wirings. A 110 to 220V AC adapter should be provided with your indicator.
DISPLAY AND KEY DESCRIPTION ON/OFF Powers the Indicator On or Off if held for 2 seconds HOLD 1. Peak hold - Grabs the highest weight (for tension and pulling force) 2. Data hold - Holds the current weight value (ex. for use with weighing moving animals) UNITS Shifts between weighing units (kg/lb)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Power On ● Turn on the power by pressing the power button for 2 seconds. Once on, the scale will flash the voltage and then begin to auto-check and count down from 0-9 sequentially before entering the weighing mode Note: Anything on the scale before powering on will automatically be tared out.

Hold In the parameter settings you can choose one of these 5 hold options 1. Peak Hold: Grabs the highest weight (for materials testing, ie. tension and pulling force) ● Press the HOLD key then add weight to the scale ●...

CALIBRATION cont. 27. Press SET to continue. The display will now show 28. Press ON/OFF to save and exit the setup menu. 29. The scale has now been calibrated. The display will show the value of the calibration weight on the scale. 30.
INDICATOR PARAMETER SETTINGS The parameter settings menu has a calibration section (C01 to C06 explained above) and a parameter settings section (C07 and up). To access the calibration section the seal switch (located at one corner of the PCB) must be OFF.

HELPFUL DEFINITIONS Division: The amount of increments a scale offers. How accurate the scale can be Capacity: the maximum amount the scale can contain Initial Zero Range: The percentage of weight allowed on the scale when indicator is powered on that will automatically zero. example: If initial zero range is set to 10% of the max.
CONNECTORS Connecting load cells to the indicator ● The indicator can connect with 4 pcs load cells of 350Ω at most ● 4 wire or 6 wire load cell connections are both okay ● Please contact us directly if you have other special needs for your application Quick Disconnect as shown below: QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION DIAGRAM DB9 SERIAL CONNECTOR PINOUT...
COMMUNICATION MODE Continuous sending mode for PC: the indicator continuously sends the data to the RS232 port Communication Format is done using ASCII as shown below: CR LF Data weight status, ST=standstill, US=not standstill, OL=overload weight mode, GS=gross mode, NT=net mode weight of positive and negative, “+”...
