7. BASIC OPERATION
7-1. Turning the power ON and OFF
1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the power ON.
All the display symbols are displayed and the scale waits for the weighing data to
become stable.
After the weighing value internally becomes stable, the display turns off for a
moment and zero is shown with the ZERO annunciator (power-on zero).
If the weighing value is unstable, the display will continue to “
88888888
”. Check if
anything touches the weighing pan, or check if there is strong wind or vibration.
The range for power-on zero is within ±50% of the weighing capacity (kg) around
the calibrated zero point.
If the power is switched ON while there is a load beyond this range, the scale shows
“
-------
”. Remove the load on the weighing pan.
2. Pressing the ON/OFF key again, and the power will be switched OFF.
‰ Auto power-off function
It is possible to have the power automatically switched OFF, if zero is displayed for
approximately 5 minutes. See “11-2. Function list” and set the function “F1-1”.
