DISPLAY AND KEY DESCRIPTION Holds the weight on the scale Depending on the parameter setting HOLD Shifts between weighing units UNIT Checking the record by number CHECK Print the weighing data PRINT In gross mode: get the tare weight TOTAL In net mode: clear the tare, get the Gross Delete the previous weighing data and the saved record Use the scale to count product based on a sample weight...
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Power On ● Turn on the power by pressing the ON/OFF 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.

Counting Function ● The counting function is used to count a high volume of identical parts. You can do this by setting a sample and then either adding to the sample or taking away from the sample to count the number of objects on the scale COUNT ●...

Recipes Recipes allows you to store formulas for different products you may continuously be weighing, and creates a quick easy way to streamline your weighing. For example: If you are selling 2 lb bags of cherries, you would create a recipe by set- ting a tolerance using upper and lower limits.

CALIBRATION CONT. 26. The scale will count down from 10 to 0. Once 0 has been reached, the display will show CALEnd 27. Press to continue. The display will now show 28. Press ESC to save and exit the setup menu. 29.
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.

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.
Q&A The scale does not turn on Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and that there is power. One easy way to test this is by connecting another appliance to the same outlet and see if it’s operational The reading goes negative when a load is applied Try interchanging the Sig+ and Sig- wiring connected to the load cell and/or junction box (if one is used)
