Other operating remarks 

 

During  turning on the  power the platter should  be empty.  After turning  the power on the 

scale  automatically  runs  its  test  and  resets  by  taking  as  a  zero  the  actual  scale  load.  
 
During the test, the display shows the version of the program, all indicators light up and the 
digits  change  from  0  to  9.  After  completing  the  test  displayed  data  shows  zero  and  the 

 and 

 indicators light. 

 

If during subsequent operations of the scale the weight indicator will be different from zero 

it is needed to reset the scale with the empty platter: 

 

by pressing the 

 key (for small deviations) or 

 

by turning off and on the power supply of the scale or 

 

by executing the scale reset from the main menu. 

 

Avoid  overloading  or  sudden  load  shocks  of  the  platter.  They  can  cause  damage  to  the 

transducer. 

 

It is recommended to check the correctness of weight readings of the scale using a standard 

weight of at least 1/3 of the scale’s  range.  If  you notice that the errors are larger than the 
limits are the scale should be immediately withdrawn from use and it is needed to contact 
the service point. 

 

It  is  especially  important  to  review  the  readings  of  weight  after  having  transported  and 

installed the scale, before starting using it. Foreign objects should not touch the platter. 

 

The whole scale must be kept clean, not only for hygienic and aesthetic reasons but also for 

measuring. Take care mainly of cleaning the platter and the space under the platter because 
the  gathered  crumbs  of  weighted  goods  may  impede  the  free  movement  of  the  platter,  as 
well as affect the functionality of the transmitter. The housing can be wiped with a damp 
cloth. Too much water should not be used during the cleaning, which could pour into the 
interior of housing. 

 

Note:  Failure  to  comply  with  technical  installation  and  operation  conditions  specified  in  this 

user’s  manual  releases  the  manufacturer  from  any  liability  of  an  inappropriate 
functioning of the scale.

Operation 

4.1.

 

Turning on 

After  turning  on  the  scale  the  internal  test  procedure  runs  for  about  15  seconds  checking  the 
individual scale components and thermal stabilization of the measuring circuit. During the test all 
boxes of the display show consecutive digits and all indicators are lit. For precise zeroing the scale 
any objects should not be put on the platter during the test and the platter shouldn’t be touched. If 
the  stability  of  the  scale  will  be  disrupted  the  scale  will  wait  for  stabilizing  the  load.  After 
successful completion of the test the display should show:
