FIGURE BADJUSTABLE FEET(11) PLATFORM(13) LEVEL INDICATOR(14) FIGURE C 4. The four Adjustable Feet (11) and Level Indicator (14) of the Scale are used for leveling the unit. Use the Adjustable Feet and Level Indicator to level the Scale accordingly. (See Figures B and C.) Make sure the 5. sides of the Scale’s Platform (13) do not come in contact with any object prior to setting an object on the Platform to be weighed. (See Figure B.) Route the Power Cord (17) along a 6. safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the Cord to possible damage. General Operating Instructions FIGURE DVIEW FROM REAR OF DISPLAYPOWER SWITCH (15) “I” = ON“O” = OFF 1. Plug the Power Cord/Plug (17) into the nearest 110 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. Then turn the Power Switch to its “ON” position. IMPORTANT: Make sure there is no load on the Scale when turning the Power Switch on. (See Figure D.) For best accuracy, allow the Scale to 2. warm up for ten minutes before applying weight. When turned on, the Scale will self-3. check the rechargeable Battery (16) and display “dc x.xxx”. If necessary, the Scale will automatically enter the Battery into a charging mode. When using the Battery (16) to pow• er the Scale, and the Battery voltage is lower than 5.4V, the Scale will turn off automatically. In this event, plug the Power Cord/Plug into the nearest 110 volt, grounded, electrical outlet and allow the Battery to charge for at least 8 hours for full capacity. After the self-check, the Scale should 4. automatically set itself at the zero position. However, the Scale did not locate the zero position if either of the following occurs: Displaying “HHHHHH” and emitting • an alarm sound, meaning the zero position is too high. Displaying “LLLLLL” and emitting • an alarm sound, meaning the zero position is too low. Should either of the above events occur, make sure to check for proper line voltage and Battery voltage. Check that the Scale is level, it has no load, and that its Platform (13) is not touching any other object(s). FIGURE EZero/Tare Press the “ZERO/TARE” button the 1. scale is empty (< 4% F.S.1) and the scale will read zero at the current weight. The zero indicator will also show. (See Figure E.) Press “ZERO/TARE” when the weight 2. is positive (> 4% F.S.) and the tare indicator will show. The scale will then read based on the tare weight. Remove all weight and press the 3. “ZERO/TARE” button again to exit tare mode. 1 Full Scale. The full capacity of the scale. For this item, 330 lb. (150 kg). Unit: Press “UNIT” to choose the unit: Lb. or Kg. (See Figure E.) Hold: Press “HOLD” at any time when 1. weighing. The displayed value will be locked and will not change with weight. Meanwhile, the “HOLD” indicator will show. (See Figure E) Press “HOLD” again to exit the hold 2. mode. Note: Under the hold mode, the Scale will sound an alarm when overloaded although the displayed value does not change. Memory Functions: With a stable weight on the scale, 1. press “ADD“ to add the displayed weight to the unit’s memory. (See Figure E.) The M+ indicator will show and the display will flash {ADD=__} with the __ being the number of weights in memory and then read the total accumulated weight from memory. Note: The unit will beep twice if the value is not added (for example if the weight does not remain constant enough.) Press “C” and the cumulative total will 2. be cleared. Settings To adjust the backlight brightness, 1. press “FUNC“ once and {BAC=0_} will be displayed. The blank is the brightness of the display backlight. Press “ZERO/TARE” to change the 2. brightness. The maximum is 5. Press “FUNC” after selecting the 3. brightness to switch to the manual tare setting mode. The screen will briefly display PStAtE 4. and then display 0000.00 Enter the tare weight in kg using the “UNIT” button to select the digit and the “ZERO/TARE” button to change the digit. Once the tare is selected, press the “ADD” button to return to normal weighing mode. Calibration: Note: Calibration is a precise procedure. If done improperly, it can cause the scale to become inaccurate. If you are not comfortable doing the calibration yourself, a qualified technician should calibrate the scale. Turn the scale off. Calibration must 1. be started when first turning on the scale. Connect the scale to an 120 V~ re2. ceptacle and remove all weight from the scale. Turn on the Scale. Quickly press 3. “ZERO/TARE”, “UNIT”, then “ZERO/ TARE” after the scale displays 012345, but before the scale is ready to weigh. The scale will enter calibration mode and display the original maximum capacity value and the division. These are factory settings and should not be altered. Press “ADD” to continue. The display will now read “-CAL-” 4. first, then “0150.00”. Now input the calibration weight, in kg. Leave the platform empty. Press “UNIT“ to select the digit you 5. wish to alter. The selected digit flashes. Press “ZERO/TARE“ to change the desired digit. P...
