Trooper Count Scale
2.2 Selecting the Location
The Scale should be used in an environment which is free from dust, water, corrosives, vibration or temperature
extremes as these factors can affect scale accuracy. The Scale should be located on a stable level surface and kept
away from vibrating sources such as large machinery.
2.4 Leveling the Scale
To compensate for small irregularities or inclinations at the location, the Scale can be leveled. The Scale is equipped
with a level indicator located at the rear. Adjust the leveling feet until the air bubble in the indicator is centered as
shown.
NOTE : The instrument should be leveled each time its location is changed.
2.5 Stabilization
Before initially using the Scale, allow time for it to adjust to its new environment. The recommended warm up period is
five (5) minutes if the Scale is already stabilized to room temperature.
2.3 Connecting Power
2.3.1 Battery Installation (If desired)
Remove battery cover and insert 6 Alkaline C-type batteries into the battery holder making sure that the batteries are
properly orientated. The negative battery terminals should face the spring contacts.
NOTE: It is recommended that when the Trooper Count Scale is operated from batteries, the Auto-Off Timer feature be
turned on to extend battery life. When setting up the Scale, refer to the Setup menu, section 4.5.
2.3.2 AC Power
Verify that the AC power source matches the AC adapter rating. Connect the Adapter power cord at the rear of the Scale
and plug the Adapter into a convenient power outlet.
