Installation and Precaution

For optimal performance and longevity, the following installation and precaution guidelines should be followed:

• Placement: The scale must be placed on a flat, rigid surface free from vibrations.
• Electromagnetic Interference: Avoid installing the scale near radio devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields.
• Impact: Do not apply sudden impact onto the weighing pan.
• Liquid Exposure: Do not spill water onto the scale.
• Cleaning: Do not use cleaners that include solvent or thinner.
• Periodic Inspection: This product requires obligatory periodic inspection and proofreading.

Device Components

The PW-200 scale consists of several key parts:

• Platter: The top surface where items are placed for weighing.
• Display: Shows the weight and various indicators.
• Keypad: Includes buttons for ON/OFF, Zero, Tare, and a multi-function key (* / HOLD).
• Level: An indicator to ensure the scale is properly leveled.
• Adjuster: Feet that can be adjusted to level the scale.
• Adaptor Port: For connecting an optional DC power adaptor.
• Battery Compartment: Houses the D size batteries.
• RS-232 Port: For optional serial communication.

Key Functions

The keypad provides the following functionalities:

• ON/OFF Key: Powers the device on or off.
• * / HOLD Key:
  • Used to measure un-fixed or unstable objects.
  • Can transmit weight data when the scale is in RS232 communication mode.
• Tare Key:
  • Sets or deletes the tare weight (weight of a container).
  • When pressed, the display shows "0" and the TARE indicator turns on.
  • Pressing it again turns off the TARE indicator.
• Zero Key: Re-corrects the weight to zero.

Designators (Indicators)

The display includes several designators to provide status information:

• ZERO: Indicates that the displayed weight is zero.
• STABLE: Indicates that the displayed weight is stable.
• TARE: Indicates that a tare weight has been set.
• Batt: Indicates that the battery needs to be changed.

How to Use

General Weighing

1. Ensure "ZERO" and "STABLE" signs are on before weighing.
2. Place the goods on the weighing pan.
3. Read the correct value after the "STABLE" sign turns on.
4. Remove the goods from the weighing pan.

Weighing with TARE Function

1. Place the tare (container) on the weighing pan.
2. Press the "TARE" key. The weight will become "0" and the "TARE" sign will turn on.
3. Put the goods into the tared container.
4. Read the correct value after the "STABLE" sign turns on.
5. Remove the tare and goods from the weighing pan.
6. To disable tare, press the "TARE" key again. The "TARE" sign will turn off.
7. Alternatively, you can continue weighing with the same tare.

Weighing with HOLD Function

This function is useful for weighing unstable or un-fixed objects.

1. Place the object(s) on the weighing pan.
2. Press the "HOLD" key.
3. Remove the object(s) from the weighing pan.

Error Table

The scale provides error codes to help diagnose issues:

• Zero (Zero initializing failure): Remove any weight from the weighing pan and restart the scale. If the problem persists, call service.
