4) If your scale comes equipped with ramps, fix them to the floor using the mounting holes provided. This way the ramp will not
move during normal use. Be careful not to let the scale platform rub up against the ramp or any other surface, as this would
cause non-repeatability of other inaccuracies.
5) Plug into 117 VAC wall outlet.
6) For non-battery pack equipped scales, the scale will run a self-test procedure to check its load sensors and electronic
circuitry. Upon proper completion, scale will display the prompt (“ready”). Press the ON/OFF key to activate the unit. Press
and hold the ON/OFF key to return the scale to the ready state.
For battery pack equipped scales, the screen will remain blank until you press the ON/OFF key. To shut the scale down,
press and hold the ON/OFF key until the display blanks out.
7) Allow a five-minute warm-up time for stabilization and most accurate results. Items to be weighed may be placed anywhere
on the platform, but if heavy items are to be weighed, it is advisable to place them near the center. Many models are
equipped with shock absorbers and positive overload stops for protection. Still, care should be taken to avoid putting
excessive stress on the load cell system, as when heavy weights are dropped on the platform. It is normal for a small
amount of drift to occur over periods of time. For the most accurate readings the scale may re-acquire a true zero by using
the ZERO button prior to weighing.
Controls and Indicators
Main Display Screen
The scale is equipped with 128x64 LCD Graphics Display with a wide viewing angle and variable contrast. For normal
operations, you have a choice of viewing weight information from two main screens. For parts counting scales, two more
screens are available. You can switch screens by pressing the MENU key and then press ENTER to accept the “Next Screen”
menu choice. Doing this will step through the screens shown below in order. For non-counting scales screens 3 and 4 are
skipped.
