B series platform scales are destined for general use. All scales are metrologically tested - calibration or legal verification on demand. B series scales are made in two main versions: with LED display (basic) and with LCD display (option). Standard indicator may be changed by indicator with additional keys – see appendix B.

USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Security rules To avoid electrical shock or damage of the scale or connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow the security rules below. • All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only.
USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Preparation 1. Take the scale out of the package removing protective foils. 2. Take a pan off and remove protective elements from below the pan. 3. Place the scale on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows.
USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Start-up Leave the pan empty, plug a scale to the mains with a ground contact The scale proceeds with following start-up actions: Display test. Basic electronic components tests: C1, C-2, ... C-6. Program version. The scale is now ready to work.
USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9. General rules 1. Before each measurement make sure that zero indicator is displayed. If zero indicator does not displayed or “----“ communicate appears, press →0← key and wait until zero indication and zero indicator appears. 2. The scale is equipped with a tare equal to its range. To tare the scale press →T←...

USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After discharge signalising appears an accumulator should be charged as quickly as possible by connecting external feeder. Charging is more effective when scale is turned off with I/ key, then charging time is about 10 hours. It is also possible to connect accumulator directly to PA6V charger leaving accumulator in a scale or take it out if needed.
(optional) used for example for Input continuous weighing result transmission to an additional, external display. Output When cooperating with scale, Case a computer should be equipped with a program which enables processing data from the scale – available in AXIS with extra charge.

USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 13. Special functions description All scales, beside basic functions like weighing and tare, are equipped with the set of additional functions. Basic set of user special functions consists of: - autozero (AUt), - pieces counting (PCS), - constant tare (tAr), - serial port working mode setting (LPt), - serial port parameters setting (rS), - menu customisation (ACt).

USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 18. Pieces counting (F..-PCS) This function enables to count identical pieces, e.g. turnbuckles or 0.00 buttons. A measurement is performed in two phases: - first phase - single piece weight calculation on the basis of defined 23.40 pieces amount (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 or 500 pieces), - second phase –...
USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 19. Printer cooperation settings (F..-LPt) Activate the function for automatic 0.00 serial port working mode (cooperation with a printer). After activation the scale prints a header. Weighing result with F .. -LPt a successive measurement number is printed automatically after result stabilisation (without using key).
USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 20. Serial port parameters setting (F..-rS) 0.00 The function enables to set the following transmission parameters (standard parameters underlined): F .. -rS - transmission speed (bAud: 1200, 4800, 9600), - the number of bits in a byte (bit: 7, F ..

Easy access to the most useful functions will shorten F .. -ACt operation time and make work more comfortable.
USER MANUAL _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 23. Maintenance and repairs of small defects 1. The scale should be kept clean. 2. Take care that no dirt gets between the platform and the scale base. If found any, remove the pan (lift it up), remove dirt and then replace the pan. 3.
