Setting up the scale/balance

CAUTION

• Avoid installing the scale/balance in direct sunlight, as it may lead to discoloration or malfunction.
• Ensure the scale/balance is set up on a sturdy weighing table so that it remains level. • The scale/balance will not provide accurate measurements if it is not properly leveled. • For accurate weighing, always place the scale/balance on a firm, flat, and level surface.

Weighing

Before Weighing

Whenever possible, allow the balance to warm up for 10 minutes after turning it on. This ensures the balance will function properly and provide accurate measurements.

NOTE

- Error messages

• : Overload - Err-Z: Exceed zero track range when turning on the power - Err- S: The scale is unstable when turning on the power - : Low battery

Weighing Procedures

1. Turn on the Balance

Press ON/OFF to power on the balance. When the power is turned on, all display segments will briefly appear on the LCD, and after a few seconds, "0" will be displayed.

2. Select the Weighing Unit

Press UNIT to choose the desired weighing unit (e.g., "g", "ct", etc.). The selected unit will be shown alongside the weight value.

3. Start Weighing

• Without a container

1) Ensure the display reads "0". If not, press ZERO to reset it to "0". 2) Place the object on the weighing platform. 3) Once the reading stabilizes, the stability indicator will appear.

- With a container

1) Place the empty container on the platform. 2) Wait for the stability indicator to appear, then press TARB to reset the display to "0". 3) Add the objects to be weighed into the container. When the reading becomes stable, the stability indicator will appear.

Calibration

When to Calibrate

Calibration may be necessary when the scale/balance is first installed or moved a significant distance, as the

gravitational force affecting the weight may vary between locations. Additionally, over time and with regular use, mechanical deviations can occur, making recalibration necessary.

How to Calibrate

1. Prepare for Calibration

Before entering calibration mode, locate the switch key on the bottom of the scale and turn it on.

Then, press ON/OFF to power on the scale and allow it to warm up for 1 minute.

2. Enter Calibration Mode

1) Press ON/OFF to power on the scale.

2) Once the display shows flashing digits followed by "----", press ZERO. The display will show "CAL". Press ZERO again, and the display will show "X0000" (X is the flashing digit).

3) Use the UNIT key to move the flashing digit to the right, and press PCS or TARB to increase the value. (X represents the calibration weight, which should be set based on your specific calibration requirements).

3. Calibration with the Weight

1) After selecting the appropriate calibration weight, place the weight on the platform.

2) Wait for the stability indicator to appear, then press ZERO.

3) The display will return to weighing mode, indicating that calibration is complete.

4. Verify Calibration

1) Turn off the scale by pressing ON/OFF, then turn it back on.

2) Place the calibration weight on the platform to verify the accuracy of the weighing.

3) If the weight is not accurate, repeat steps 2-4.

Counting Procedures

1. Turn on the Scale

Press ON/OFF to power on the scale. Wait until "0" appears on the display.

2. Start the Count Procedure

If necessary, press ZERO to reset the display to "0".

3. Place Samples on the Pan

Place a predetermined number of sample items (either 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces) on the pan. The weight of the samples will be displayed. Press PCS to enter PCS (piece counting) mode. Then press UNIT, and the display will show "P=XX pcs". Press UNIT again to select the sample size (10, 20, 50, or 100).

4. Confirm the Sample Size

Press PCS to confirm. The display will show "XX pcs", indicating the sample size you selected. The scale will store the sample size, and you can now remove the samples if you want the display to return to "0".

5. Return to Weighing Mode

Press PCS again to return to the standard weighing mode.

Function Settings

1. Press ON/OFF to turn on the scale. The display will show flashing digits, followed by "----". Press PRINT, and the display will show "b xxx BAU" (baud rate). Use the UNIT key to select from 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 (default: 9600). Press ZERO to enter Parity mode. The display will show "P xxx PAR". Use to select from odd, even, or none:
2. Odd: 7 data bits with odd parity • Even: 7 data bits with even parity • None: 8 data bits without parity (default: none)

Press ZERO to enter Print mode. The display will show "n xxx Mod". Use UNIT to choose from:

• OFF: Serial data output disabled • KEY: Data prints on-demand when PRINT is pressed (default) • STB: Data prints automatically when the scale stabilizes - Con: Continuous printing Press ZERO again to return to weighing mode.

1. Press ON/OFF to turn on the scale. The display will show flashing digits followed by "----". Press UNIT to enter unit selection mode. The display will show "ON X" (where X stands for units like g, oz, lb, dwt, etc.). Press UNIT to toggle between ON (activate the selected unit) or OFF (deactivate the unit). Press ZERO to select and confirm the unit mode, then press ZERO again to return to weighing mode.
2. Switch the power to "ON" and press ON/OFF to turn on the scale. The display will show "F-E-9 to 0" followed by "----". Press PCS to enter Zero Track settings. The display will show "Zrd x.x d". Use

UNIT to select the Zero Track value (0.0d to 2.0d). Press ZERO to enter Zero Track Time settings, displayed as "Zrt x.x sec". Use UNIT to select the time (0.5 to 4.0 seconds). Press ZERO to set Zero value, displayed as "rzd x d". Use UNIT to choose between 1d, 3d, 5d, or 8d.

Press ZERO to enter Filter Range (FIL) settings. Use UNIT to select the filter range (0-3). Press ZERO to enter the zero range adjustment for power-on. Use UNIT to select percentage values (PZR 1, PZR 2, PZR 3, etc.). Press ZERO to set the Zero range, then use UNIT to select percentage values for zero range (KZR 3, 4, 5, 10).

Press ZERO to enter TARE range settings. Use UNIT to select percentage (KTR 50 or KTR 100). Press ZERO to enter overload protection settings. Use UNIT to select overload values (0, OVR-2, OVR-5, OVR-10).

Press ZERO to set the beep function. Use UNIT to toggle between "bz ON" (activate) or "bz OFF" (deactivate). Press ZERO to unite the TARE and ZERO functions. Use UNIT to switch between "ZT ON" (activated) and "ZT OFF" (deactivated).

Press ZERO to enter Auto-Off settings. The display will show "A xxx". Use UNIT to select the auto-off time (3, 5, 10 minutes, or OFF). Press ZERO to adjust the backlight. The display will show "L X". Use UNIT to select:

• OFF: Disable backlight • ON: Backlight always on • Au: Auto backlight mode

1. Press ZERO to return to weighing mode.
