4.0 BASIC OPERATION
4.1
TURNING ON THE SCALE
Plug in the unit using the AC adapter or power from the batteries and press the
[on/off]
key.
1) The scale will show automatically
grn- X.X
, “XX” meaning software revision
number “grn” meaning it has grain scale software and then show the voltage
X.X
Vol
where “X.X” is the voltage of the batteries if being used on battery power or the
AC adapter after that the scale will then count from 0 to 9 for a few seconds. Finally
it will display "0.0g" with the Stable symbol and Zero symbols being lit up.
2) The scale is now ready to be used.
3) To turn the scale off after use press the
[on/off]
key again. There is an auto power-
off function that will automatically turn the unit off, this can be set in the parameters
section.
4.2
ZEROING / TARE
You can press the
[Recall / Tare]
key to set a new zero point. Zero will be set if the
reading on the scale is less than 70g. This may be necessary if the weight is not reading
zero with no weight on the pan. The zero indicator will show in the top left corner of the
LCD.
If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and press the
[Recall / Tare]
key, the display will show zero and NET on the display.
You can then weigh any material added to the container. Taring weight subtracts from the
scale’s total capacity.
Note:
When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the
[Recall / Tare]
is pressed when the container has been removed it will again zero the scale.
4.3
WEIGHING
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container, then place the sample
in the container. The display will show the weight and the unit of weight currently in use.
The stable indicator will light up when the reading is stable.
4.4
WEIGHING UNITS
Two units are available: grams (g) and Kilograms per Hectolitre (Kg/Hl).
