Operating Instructions:
The DFG model scale operates on one 9-volt battery, or a 9-volt power supply (part # S549). The scale has an
automatic power off feature. If a battery is used, the scale will shut off after the programmed time if no
weighing operation is performed.
To install the batteries, turn the scale display over, open the battery box, install one 9-volt battery, (observing
polarity), and close the cover. If the power supply is used, push the power supply tip into the jack orifice,
making sure the two pieces are properly aligned for a tight seal.
Turn on the scale by depressing the "on/tare" switch. Scale readout will show all 8's for approximately 5
seconds and then the zero reading. If the scale is overloaded, an “ E “ will be displayed. If a load is placed on
the scale platform, the weight of this load is shown on the scale display in the units in which the scale is
weighing. You can change the weighing mode by pressing the "Mode/Cal" button. This load can now be
"tared out" i.e. shown as zero on the scale display, by depressing the "On/Tare" button. If an additional load
is then placed on the platform, the weight of this additional load can also be "tared out" by depressing the
"On/Tare" button. This tare operation can be repeated up to the capacity of the scale.
If the total load is now removed from the platform, the weight of the total load will be shown as a negative
value on the scale display. This negative value can now be removed from the display by depressing the
"On/Tare" button. Depressing the "Off' button at any time will turn the scale off.
Key Pad Functions:
“On/Tare”- Press this key to turn scale on. Once the scale is on the same key operates the additive tare
feature. This feature has been specifically designed for weighing substances, which require a container.
(Liquids, powders, etc.) Place the container on the scale and press the “on/tare” button. The display will
change and return to 0.0 also an arrow will appear next to the word tare on the decal. Now when you add
product to the scale it will only show the weight of the product you are adding into the container. Once
you are done remove the container and press the “zero” key and the scale will return to its original zero.
