    (bubble in center.) Electrical Connections The DS100 uses a wall mounted transformer to provide power to the scale. The transformer requires 115 VAC, 50/60 Hz power. Be sure the AC power is not excessively noisy – this can occur if large inductive loads, such as solenoids or motors, are on the same power line.
  • Page 4: Section 2. Scale Operation

    Power The DS100 is powered by an AC wall transformer. Turn the scale off by pressing and holding the ZERO (ON/OFF) button for three seconds. Turn the scale on by pressing the ZERO (ON/OFF) button.
