Introduction
The EL-3000 Counting Scale, available in sev-
eral capacities, is an easy to use, high resolution
counting scale featuring several programmable
weigh modes, multi-item print function, and a
weight accumulator.
Housed in a durable ivory-colored plastic enclo-
sure, the unit displays its numerals on a 5½-digit
LCD type display. A removable 8"x 9" stainless
steel platform allows for easy cleaning when
used to count greasy or dusty items. A plastic
skirt is also included to protect the scale’s outer
enclosure.
The unit can transmit on demand or continuously
in a popular data protocol. A multi-item print
mode is also included for use with a printer.
A 5-key membrane panel contains all of the
scale's functions. A durable 8" x 9" stainless steel
platform allows for accurate piece counting.
A battery power option is available which allows
the unit to operate for approximately 10 hours on
a charge. The scale can then be charged over-
night in a period of 8 to 10 hours.
Getting Started
After unpacking the scale, a small amount of assembly is required:
Locate the sub-platform, four (4) Hex screws, and enclosed Allen wrench. Place sub-platform onto

Plug the enclosed adapter into the scale first, then an AC outlet.
