The LED display shows the weight of the lifted goods and additional parameter. 1. 5-digit weight display 2. +/- sign 3. PT (Pre-Tare) 4. Net weight value (Tare function activated) 5. Standstill indicator 6. Battery empty 7. 1 / 2 range display The display consists of a 5-digit, 7-segment LED.
Page 14
This symbol is shown when a tare value has been entered. The weight value displayed is a net weight. This symbol is shown together with the - symbol when a tare value is entered manually with the remote control. The weight value displayed is a net weight.
Page 15
Every weight is displayed combined with its algebraic sign If more than 2e (double number unit) above the nominal weight is added, the display on the scale starts flashing. If more than 9e above the nominal weight is added the crane scale shows “OL“...

The crane scale can be operated via the integrated control panel below the LED display. Figure 2 - Control Panel • Turn on the scale • Enables automatic segment control of the display • After that, the scale automatically adjusts to "0" Always switch on the scale 5 minutes before the first weighing.
Page 17
By pressing the button, a check is carried out on each individual light segment of the display (segment control) and further information about the scale is displayed. For about 5 seconds, the display flashes consecutively: 8 8 8 8 8 ( Segment control) L A H (Softwareversion)

(less than 20m), this is an indication that the batteries need to be changed (3 pieces 1.5V Type AAA, Micro LR03, AM4, MN2400). Figure 10 - Infrared remote control Some functions like Print, Add or Total can only be used in combination with EHP weighing data receiver (see Accessories on page 39).
Page 20
This button has the same function as on the crane scale control panel. Press this key to transfer the weighing data to optionally available EHP receiving devices (see Accessories on page 39). For example, an individual receipt can be printed out on TELEDATA USB weighing data receiver.
Page 21
Special functions are not included in the standard scope of delivery. Contact your EHP contact person for further information. Press this button to activate the pre-tare function. The display shows now the last pre-tara value. Use the keys 1 to 0 to enter the tare value and confirm with the ENTER key.

To establish communication between the scale and the remote control, the transmission channel may have to be adjusted. 1. By pressing the „TEST“-Button the crane scale display shows the current setting parameter in following sequences: 88888 Segment test Release 12.21 Version Scale number (01-16) Canal number (01-28)
Page 23
To set the channel of the infrared remote control to a defined number please ensure that the crane scale channel number is also set to this number. For more information on changing the crane scale parameters, refer to section „Functions of the LD | LDN crane scale on page 28“.
Page 24
The channel number search can be performed automatically. Align the infrared remote control with the crane scale display. Press the following key combination quickly, one after the other: The canal search is indicated by blinking of the transmitter LED. As soon as the scale reacts to the signal of the remote control press ENTER again.

The status LED (3) indicates the charging status of the accumulator. Figure 11 - Charger & adapter The charger is only suitable for charging maintenance-free original EHP accumulators. The charger cannot be opened. If the device is damaged due to improper opening, the warranty is voided. Before putting the device into operation, make sure that sufficient ventilation is provided.
Page 26
The charging socket incl. plug lock (1) is located at the bottom side of the crane scale. The fuse holder (fuse 1A, 5x20mm). The plug of the charger is inserted into the charging socket. Before disconnecting the charger cable, the plug lock on the charger socket must be pressed.
Page 27
• With delivery the accumulator is already charged for 8 hours and is immediately ready for use. • The accumulator should never be stored uncharged. • A completely discharged battery requires at least 12 hours of charging. • If the charging time is less than 12 hours, a longer charging period of approx. 24 hours is recommended for the next time.
