5. POWER SUPPLY AND START UP
5.1 POWER SUPPLY
The instrument can be powered with a 6 Vdc tension supplied from an AC/DC external adapter which should be connected
to the 110-240 Vac mains voltage. Safety norms must be respected for the connection to the mains voltage including the
use of a line which has to be free from noise generated by other electronic equipment.
It is also possible to power the scale through the rechargeable built-in battery.
6V RECHARGEABLE BATTERY FEATURES
Material Lead
Power 4,5 Ah
Output 6 V
THE BATTERY MUST ONLY BE REPLACED WITH AN ORIGINAL FROM THE MANUFACTURER
.
In order
TO POWER
the instrument through the 110-240Vac mains or
TO RECHARGE
the 6V battery, insert the plug end
of the AC/DC power adapter into the socket in the lower part of the indicator (chapter “INSTALLATION”) and the adapter in
your main current source.
Do not connect other equipment to the same socket as the one that the adapter is in.
Do not step on or crush the power supply cable.
5.2 TURNING ON / OFF THE INSTRUMENT
TO TURN ON
the scale press the
MODE/C
key until the indicator turns on; then release.
The display shows:
XX.YY
is the installed software version.
The instrument turns on all the display segments and symbols.
MAX XXX.XXX
capacity of channel 1
bt XXX
in which XXX is a number from 0 to 100 which indicates the battery level (if present).
The scale has an “auto zero at start-up” function: in other words it means that if at start-up a weight /- 10% of the
capacity is detected, it will be zeroed; if the weight is not within this tolerance, with a non approved instrument the display
shows the present weight after a few instants, while with an approved instrument “ZEro” is shown continuously on the
display, until the weight does not re-enter within this tolerance; the auto zero function at start-up may be disabled in the set-
up environment (only with non approved instrument); see

bt XXX
in which XXX is a number from 0 to 100 which indicates the battery level (if present).
-K- X.YY
in which K identifies the type of keyboard: K=0 5-key keyboard.
X.YY is the installed software version.
