Usage Features:

Front Panel and Status Indicators: The front panel features a 6-digit LCD display and various status indicators.

AC: Indicates AC adapter is connected.
Low Battery Warning: A symbol indicates low battery (30% of full charge), and the display blinks when battery capacity is less than 10%, leading to automatic power down after 1 hour.
Stable Weight: A square symbol indicates stable weight.
NET: Indicates tare is set and net weight is displayed.
→0←: Indicates weight is within -1/4e to 1/4e of zero.
LO, OK, HI: Set point indicators for ranges A≤weight<B, B≤weight<C, and C≤weight<D respectively.
kg: Weight unit in kilogram.

Keypad Operations:

【OFF】: Switches the indicator off.
【ON】: Switches the indicator on.
【】: Manual weight accumulation.
【*】: Proceeds to the next step.
【←】: Displays weight to X10 resolution.
【→T←】: Tares the display.
【→0←】: Zeros the display.

Basic Functions:

Switching On/Off: Simple ON/OFF operations. Upon switching on, the indicator displays software version and performs self-tests.
Weight Unit: The default and only weight unit is kilograms (kg).
Zeroing: Allows setting the zero point when the weight is less than 2% of full scale (FS) and the platform is unloaded.
Tare Function:
- Acquire Tare: Set tare after zeroing, by placing an empty container on the platform, waiting for stability, and pressing the tare key. The indicator switches to net weight mode.
- Remove Tare: Remove tare and switch to gross weight mode by pressing the tare key when NET status is displayed.
Simple Weighing: Place sample, wait for stability, and read the weight.
Manual Accumulation: Accumulate weight manually and transmit data to RS232. The number of accumulated samples is displayed.
Query Accumulated Data: View the number of samples, upper 4 digits, and lower 4 digits of accumulated weight.
Clear Accumulation Data: Clear all accumulated data.
Set Point Function: Configure four set points (A, B, C, D) to trigger LO, OK, or HI status symbols based on weight ranges.
High Resolution Display Mode: Temporarily display weight with X10 resolution for 5 seconds.
Automatic Shutdown and Power-Saving Mode: The indicator enters power-saving mode if not operated within 30 seconds, showing "- - - - - -". It automatically shuts down if not operated within 30 minutes.
