Functions
1. Power switch: Power on/ Power off
2. mm/ inch interchange: This button has to be pressed to
choose the metric or the inch system alternatively.
3. Zero-setting: After power is switched on and this button
is pressed, the display will be set back to Zero.
4. Preset buttons
. If these buttons are pressed,
the display will decrease or increase. It has to be released,
if the number to be preset is reached.
Battery replacement:
a) The frame cover has to be unscrewed
b) The battery cover has to be taken off and the cell, with
the positive side facing out, has to be replaced.
c) The cover has to be put on again.
Maintenance:
a) The working faces have to be kept clean and dry.
Prevent liquids from getting into the frame lest, because
the electronics might be damaged. In case that liquids
have got in, the frame has to be taken apart and dried up
under 60°C.
b) The scale body has to be cleaned with a soft fabric or
liquid sink soap. Do not use petroleum based lacquer
thinner, industrial alcohol or petroleum spirits. Organic
solutions are not allowed.
c) Never apply power pressure on any part of the scale lest
it damages the housing.
Fixing Instructions
a) Check to see if there has been any damage to the scale
unit. If so, please contact our company immediately.
b) At least 50 mm safety space should be left for the
sensor when the working (moving) part reaches its limits.
The screws at the ends have to be fixed in the way that the
sensor won’t be damaged by the working part going
beyond its limits.
c) One end has to be fixed while the other one is kept
floaing (moveable). The working part has to be moved
several times and the end positions of the scale have to be
adjusted (or gaskets have to be put on) until the direction
of the working part is parallel to the one of the scale.
d) The screws have to be fastened on both ends and the
connector. Parallelism has to be maintained. The
connector has to be kept from running when in operation.
