1. INTRODUCTION 

The purpose of this manual is to help the user get to know the scale’s various functioning modes, the keys’ functions and 
the display indications. It is possible that one may incur into the phrase 

“TECH.MAN.REF.”

: this means that an advanced 

function  is  being  described  (therefore,  for  the  technical  personnel)  and  which  is  further  explained  in  the  corresponding 
technical manual. 

We advise to carefully follow the instructions for programming the scale; by taking actions not indicated in this 
manual, one could cause the scale to not work properly. 

In  addition  to  having  all  the  characteristics  of  a  high  precision  scale,  the  instrument  has  the  unit  of  measure  /  pounds 
conversion function and the weighs totaliser. 
The  scale  adapts  itself  to  normal  weighing  applications  in  either  industrial  settings,  such  as  during  factory  production 
processes, or that of commerce, such as legal for trade applications. 
 

This  manual  has  been  made  as  carefully  and  exactly  as  possible;  in  any  case,  your  suggestions  are  always 
welcome. 

   WARNING   

 

 

Any attempt to repair or alter the unit can expose the user to the danger of electric shock and it will void our warranty. This 
instrument is covered under warranty provided that 

IT  HAS  NOT  BEEN  OPENED  BY  THE  USER

 for any reason. If any 

problem  with  the  unit  or  system  has  been  experienced  please  notify  the  manufacturer  or  the  dealer  from  which  the 
instrument was acquired. 

 

The 6V rechargeable battery has to be completely recharged (12 hours) in the first installation of the instrument; 
we RECOMMEND disconnecting the battery if the instrument is not going to be used for more than 30 days. 
In order to avoid the deterioration of the rechargeable battery:

 

In standard conditions: 
- never leave the battery partially or completely uncharged; at least once a week recharge it completely. 
In case the instrument is not used for a long period, one needs to: 
- completely recharge the battery before the system is switched off for the last time; 
- recharge completely every 3 months.

 

 

Do not pour liquids on the indicator

!!!!

 

 

Do not use solvents to clean the indicator

!!!!

   

 

Do not expose instrument to either direct sun light or any heat sources

!!!!

   

 

Always mount the indicator and platform in a vibration free setting

!!!!

 

 

Read carefully & apply what described in the POWER SUPPLY AND START-UP section! 

 

Do not install in an environment with any risk of explosion

!!!!

 

 

All the connections of the instrument have to be made respecting the rules applicable in the zone 

and in the installing environment. 

 

Everything not expressly described in this manual has to be considered as improper use of the  

                                                       equipment. 

 

The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it must be taken to 
separate  collection  or  to  the  reseller  when  a  new  equivalent  type  of  equipment  is  purchased.  The 
adequate  differentiated  refuse  collection  in  having  the  product  recycled,  helps  to  avoid  possible 
negative effects on the environment and health and supports the recycling of the materials of which the 
equipment is made. The unlawful disposal of the product by the user will entail fines foreseen by the 
current regulations.
