BOTTOM VIEW RS-232 PORT DC POWER LOAD CELL LOAD CELL: Port for connecting the scale. RS-232 PORT: Serial interface port. (printer, second display, PC, etc.) DC POWER: Port for DC power. (DC 9V adapter available) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Power On Turn on the power by pressing the power button for 2 seconds. Once it is on, the unit begins to auto-check and count down from 0-9 before entering the weighing mode Note: Anything on the scale before powering on will automatically be tared out.
Hold There are 3 different hold functions you can choose from in the C11 parameter 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 The indicator will show the highest weight it recorded and hold it on the screen until a higher weight is placed on the scale 2.

23. Enter the calibration weight value you will use (at least 10% of max capacity you set in C04 by using UNITS to move the cursor right, and TARE and ZERO move the values down and up.) 24. Place the calibration weight you have on the empty scale and press PRINT enter. 25.
INDICATOR PARAMETER SETTINGS The parameter settings menu has a calibration section (C01 to C07 explained above) and a parameter settings section (C08 and up). To access the calibration section the seal switch (located at one corner of the PCB) must be OFF.
