11. General rules of using scale
1. Before each measurement make sure that zero indicator is displayed. If zero indicator does not display
or “----“ communicate appears, press 0 key and wait until zero indication and zero indicator
appears.
2. The scale is equipped with a tare equal to its range. To tare the scale press T key (left or right).
Storing a tare value does not extend measuring range, but only subtracts it from a load placed on a pan.
To make weight control easier and to avoid range overdrawing, the scale (with LCD) is equipped with a
load indicator (graduated in percentages).
3. Weighing result should be read when the indicator " " lights, which signalises result stabilization.
4. When the scale is not used but it is necessary to be ready to work immediately, it can be switched off by
pressing I/ key. The scale reading system is then switched off to "standby" mode (signalled by the
indicator "OFF" in version with the LCD display). To switch the scale on press I/ key. The scale is
immediately ready to operate maximum accuracy (after self tests).
5. Weighed sample should be placed in the centre of the pan.
6. Protect the scale against dust, aggressive dusts and liquids. To clean the scale wash it with water with
soap and dry it afterwards.
7. A scale equipped with accumulators (option) automatically charges during normal work with feeder and
controls accumulator state. Charging control is executed by bAtterY special function. The function
enables to readout charging state and also to turn off charging in case of using normal batteries (instead
of accumulators). Meter signalizes an accumulators discharge on LCD display and after around 1h the
scale switches itself off to avoid discharging the accumulator below threshold voltage.
After discharge signalising appears an accumulator should be charged as quickly as possible by
connecting external feeder. Charging is more effective when scale is turned off with I/ key, then charging
time is about 10 hours.
Place the scale on a platform to avoid dropping weighed objects on
the pan.
Do not overload the scale more than 20% of maximum load (Max).
Do not allow to fully discharge the accumulator as this could
damage it!
