INITIAL SETUP AND OPERATION
1)
Carefully unpack scale from shipping carton. Save packing material for possible future use.
2)
If the level legs are included separately, then screw one into each corner underneath the scale. If the level legs are already
screwed into the platform, they MUST be unscrewed and extended out so they can hold the platform above ground.
3)
Place scale on a level surface and adjust the level legs so that all four legs are touching the surface.
4)
If your scale comes equipped with ramps, fix them to the floor using the mounting holes provided. This way the ramp will
not move during normal use. Be careful not to let the scale platform rub up against the ramp or any other surface, as this
would cause non-repeatability or other inaccuracies.
5)
Plug in to 117/120V Outlet.
(For KML and KR models, connect to system’s RS232
-
connector labeled “Feed / Permeate Scale”
to the pump’s input).
6)
In most cases, the scale will boot directly into the weight screen. If not, press the ON/OFF button.
7)
The scale will run some post-initialization processes even after the weight is shown. Please wait at least 30 seconds before
operating the scale.
8)
Allow 5-10 minutes warm-up time for stabilization and most accurate results. [This is only applicable if the scale is being
turned on after some down time. This does not apply if the scale just went through a power cycle]
9)
Now put a known test weight on the platform to see if the readings on the digital indicator are correct. If the reading is not
correct, then perform a CALIBRATION procedure as described below before first official use.
CALIBRATION
1)
Before performing any calibration, the scale must undergo a Full Power Cycle. This means disconnect the scale from the
power supply, wait a full minute, and then reconnect it back to the power supply.
2)
Once the scale is back on, allow 5-10 minutes of warm up time for initialization and stabilization. Do not operate the scale
during this period.
3)
The scale is ready to be used. If accuracy is an issue, proceed to the next step.
4)
Perform
Full Calibration
(Page 7 in Instructions Manual) as described in the Instructions Manual.
5)
If the scale is not performing properly, please refer to
Restore to
Factory Defaults
(Page 9 in Instructions Manual) to
restore working factory parameters that are built into the scale.
FACTORY DEFAULTS
Your scale has been pre-programmed with factory defaults that can be restored at any time. If the scale is not working properly after
calibration, you can restore the factory defaults in a few simple steps as described in
Restore to
Factory Defaults
(Page 9 in
Instructions Manual).
