ELECTRICAL WARNING!
THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL WARNING SYMBOL.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS MEAN THAT FAILURE TO FOLLOW
SPECIFIC PRACTICES OR PROCEDURES MAY RESULT IN
ELECTROCUTION, ARC BURNS, EXPLOSIONS OR OTHER HAZARDS
THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.

NOTE: This is a Note symbol. Notes give additional and important information, hints and tips that help you to use your product.
1.2 Warnings
Avoid lengthy exposure to extreme heat or cold. Your scale works best when operated at normal room temperature. Always allow the scale to acclimate to a normal room temperature before use.

CAUTION! THE EQUIPMENT CONTAINS NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS.
Installation and maintenance of the equipment must only be carried out by trained and authorised personnel.
1.2.1 Electrical Installation
The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
For your protection all mains (110V or 230V) equipment used out of doors or in wet or damp conditions should be supplied from a correctly fused source and protected by an approved ground fault protection device (RCD, GFCI etc.)
IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
1.2.2 Routine Maintenance

IMPORTANT: This equipment must be routinely checked for proper operation and calibration. Application and usage will determine the frequency of calibration required for safe operation.

ELECTRICAL WARNING! TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DAMAGE TO THE MACHINE, ALWAYS SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE AND ISOLATE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.
TO AVOID THE RISK OF THE MACHINE FALLING, WHERE APPLICABLE, ENSURE THAT IT IS PLACED SECURELY ON A FLAT AND LEVEL SURFACE.
Do not use sharp objects such as screwdrivers or long fingernails to operate the keys.
1.3.1 Cleaning the Indicator / Weigh Head
Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing soda, should not be used especially on the display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt to wipe the inside of the machine.
The outside of standard products may be wiped down with a clean cloth, moistened with water containing a small amount of washing up liquid.
The outside of products waterproofed to IP65, IP66 and IP67 may be washed down with water containing a small amount of proprietary detergent.
1.3.2 Training
Do not attempt to carry out any procedure on a machine unless you have received the appropriate training or read the Instruction Manual.
1.3.3 EMC Compliance
Do not attempt to carry out any procedure on a machine unless you have received the appropriate training or read the Instruction Manual.

WARNING!
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

The RS232 can be set so a bidirectional connection can be established between the indicator and the host. To establish this connection, set parameter P4 to 7, and configure setting P5 (baud) and P6 (parity) to host device. Commands can then be sent from the host to the indicator using the following commands (ensure the letters entered are in CAPS) (

5 Scale Calibration
The scale is configured from the factory to match the specified settings for each unit, as defined by the product specifications and sales brochure. Modification of the settings can be accomplished by altering user configuration settings P7-P10.

CAUTION!
Calibration and/or configuration of calibration settings of your scale should be accomplished by a trained service technician using certified weights to ensure proper operation and accuracy. Calibration is not covered under warranty.

5.3 Calibrate Scale
You may choose to configure your scale for a higher resolution. The factory does not recommend increasing the resolution above 7,500 divisions for a stable weight reading. Certain environments may cause the scale to be unstable at factory settings, reduce the # of division settings to increase your stability.
Calibration can be done with 25% to 100% of requested load and can be calibrated with 1 or 2 calibration points

- Enter in calibration weight from 25% to 100% of full capacity







- Single point calibration, enter the same weight in again and move to step 7. For 2 point calibration enter in the second calibration weight between 25% 100% full capacity.

6 Service Configuration
The scale is configured from the factory to match the specified settings for each unit, as defined by the product specifications and sales brochure. Modification of the setting can be accomplished by altering user configuration settings P11-P19.

CAUTION!
Calibration and/or configuration of calibration settings of your scale should be accomplished by a trained service technician using certified weights to ensure proper operation and accuracy. Calibration is not covered under warranty.
