When already into the settings menu mode, escapes to the previous menu option or back to the weighing mode. - Page 6 Left / Right arrow. Selects and edit a tare memory record. → Print / Enter. When in “Weighing mode” prints the current weighing data (simple ticket mode). When clicking twice, starts printing a totalisation ticket. When holding pressed for 2 seconds, ends the current totalisation ticket.
- Page 7 LCD display symbols and readings: Displays the weight on the scale platform. Unit of measurement in which the weight is indicated. Stable weight reading: There is a weight on the platform that is not fluctuating. Intermittent or switched off to indicate that there is movement in the scale. Negative sign.

Page 8: Before Using The Scale
2. BEFORE USING THE SCALE 1. AC/DC adapter, output 12 Vdc – 1 A 2. Space allocated for additional options. 3. RS-232 data output. 4. Connector for the XTREM platform. Attach the AC/DC power source to the unit and to a mains power outlet for charging the battery before its first use. - Page 9 The load receptor platform should be placed on a flat surface free of any irregularities. For the proper functioning of the instrument, the platform should be horizontally levelled. Before using the scale, check the bubble level mounted on the platform structure and adjust the levelling feet if necessary. Both Xtrem module and the weight sensors mounted on the platform are sensitive to changes in ambient temperature.

Page 12: Operation
6. OPERATION 6.1. USE OF THE SCALE Once the unit is switched on, the weight display will indicate that the scale: • is set to zero, meaning that there is no load placed on the platform. • the reading is stable, that is to say, there is no external influencing factor (such as an air current or the vibration of a nearby engine) that may be producing significant disruption. -
Page 13: Tare Function
6.2. TARE FUNCTION A short press on this key activates the tare function: The scale memorizes the weight currently on the load receptor and subtracts it from the total weight until the tare function is deactivated or cancelled. The tare function only operates if the weight is stable. If the stability indicator is switched off, pressing this key has no effect. - Page 14 6.3. MEMORY TARE RECORDING It is possible to apply a tare previously memorized in the equipment. The indicator has up to 20 tare records, numbered from 1 to 20. Use the and → keys to access this register and select one of the stored tares.

Page 15: Zero Setting
6.4. ZERO SETTING A short press on this key sets the scale to zero. The scale is deemed to be “set to zero” when the weight on the load receptor is lower than ¼ of division. While the scale is “set to zero”, the reading is shown in the display. -
Page 16: H-L Mode (Control Of Upper/Lower Limits)

For an instant, the display shows the message to indicate that it has been activated, or the message to indicate that it has been deactivated. When the limit control is activated, a reading lights up in the bottom part of the LCD display to signal whether the net weight on the plate is lower than value or higher than the... -
Page 17: Dosing Mode
6.7. DOSING MODE The dosing mode is activated and configured by accessing the options menu in the section (see section 16 in this manual).

Page 18: Printing A Single Weighing Ticket
6.8. PRINTING A SINGLE WEIGHING TICKET Pressing this key when in “weighing mode”, will print the current weighing information (single weighing ticket). The print key will only be effective if the weight on the scale is stable (the stability indicator is switched on). A short press on this key will print a ticket with the following information: date and time, the Xtrem scale identification, the ticket’s serial number, gross weight, tare, and net weight (just the weight when not using the tare... -
Page 19: Printing A Totalizer Ticket
6.9. PRINTING A TOTALIZER TICKET Double press the print key will starts printing a totalizer ticket. When holding pressed for 2 seconds, prints the current total and exits the totalizer function. The print key will only be effective if the weight on the scale is stable (the stability indicator is on). -
