APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this manual is to help the user get to know the scale’s various functioning modes, the keys’ functions and the display indications. It is possible that one may incur into the phrase “TECH.MAN.REF.”: this means that an advanced function is being described (therefore, for the technical personnel) and which is further explained in the corresponding technical manual.

APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U The digital weight indicator has an ABS case whose external dimensions are represented in figures. The indicator can be mounted attached to the platform or it can be installed in any desired position. In the following figures, the dimensions of the scale and the plate are shown:...
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 5. POWER SUPPLY AND START UP 5.1 POWER SUPPLY The instrument can be powered with a 6 Vdc tension supplied from an AC/DC external adapter which should be connected to the 110-240 Vac mains voltage. Safety norms must be respected for the connection to the mains voltage including the use of a line which has to be free from noise generated by other electronic equipment.
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 6. FRONT PANEL KEYS AND INDICATORS The front panel of the indicator is designed for quick but simple weighing applications. It consists of a display with 6 digits, 25 mm in height and a 5 keys water-proof film keyboard.

APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U (13) Not used. (14) Indicates the unit of measure in use (“kg” for kilogram, “g” gram). (15) Not used. (16) Indicates the unit of measure in use (tons). (17) Indicates the unit of measure in use (pounds).
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 8. BASIC FUNCTIONS 8.1 ZERO SCALE By pressing the ZERO key, it is possible to zero a gross weight value which is within +/- 2% of the capacity; after the zeroing, the display shows 0 weight and the relative pilot lights are turned on.
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U - Press the MODE/C key many times until the display shows the message “SAVE?”. - Press MR to confirm the changes made or another key for not saving. The instrument stores the last selection made, also after it is turned off.
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 8.6 MULTI RANGE FUNCTIONING (for legal for trade approved instruments) The multi range functioning allows to subdivide the scale capacity in two or three ranges, each which is up to 3000 divisions, improving in this way the first range division in the dual range and the first two ranges in the triple range.
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 9. TOTALISATION Inside the F.ModE >> totAL step of the setup environment it is possible to set the parameters for the function of totalisation: tot.Mod: TYPE OF TOTALIZATION It is possible to select the type of totalisation: manual (MAnuAL) or automatic (Auto).
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 9.2 REACTIVATION OF THE TOTALISATION To avoid undesired totalisations, the M+ key is active just once; its reactivation depends on the setting of the “rEACt” parameter (TECH.MAN.REF.) in the setup environment. It can be reactivated after the passing of the weight by the zero of the scale, by instability of the weight or always.
APD series bench scale APD_01_11.05_EN_U 10. INSTRUMENT MESSAGES WHILE IN USE MESSAGE DESCRIPTION ZEro The scale is zeroing the weight. unStAb One is trying to totalize with an unstable weight. un.oVEr One is trying to totalize with the weight in underload or in overload, in other words, with a weight of 9 divisions greater than the capacity or of 100 divisions below the gross zero.
