Installation

Precautions

This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information to install the Tiger II scale successfully.

Environment

Before you install the scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances its operation and longevity. Keep in mind the following factors, which might have a negative influence on the scale's operation:

Vibration

Vibration diminishes the scale's ability to measure accurately. Electrical machinery such as conveyors and drill presses can cause inaccurate and non-re repeatable readings. The scale may also read inaccurately if it is not leveled properly.

Air current

Moving air can cause the scale to read an additional force (add. weight) and have the same effect as vibration.

Friction

A scale cannot measure accurately if an object is rubbing or pressing against the platter.

Unpacking and inspection

Please inspect the package as it is delivered by the carrier. If the shipping container is damaged, check for internal damage and file a freight claim with the carrier if necessary. If the container is undamaged, open the box, remove the scale and place it on a solid, flat surface. Please keep the packing material and shipping insert in case you need to return the scale to METTLER TOLEDO. The Tiger II is a precision instrument and may be permanently damaged if not shipped in factory approved packaging.

Package contents for all Tiger II units include:

Tiger II scale

platter AC-DC power adapter

operation manual

tower incl. fixation material (tower version only)

Setup

Open the box and pull up the scale, including the packing material, then remove the packing material.

Tower versions (e.g. RN10-CNT) only:

Plug in the tower connector into the socket on bottom of the scale. Fix the cover of the chassis

Set the unit on a stable, level surface. Level the scale by turning the adjustable feet on the bottom of the unit. When the bubble indicator is in the centre of the circle, TIGER II is leveled correctly.

Bubble indicator:

Good

All four feet must touch the surface to make sure that TIGER II does not rock.

Remove the transportation lock (3kg scale only) by:

1) removing the 2 screws;

2) putting the 2 rubber mats back.

Put the platter on top of TIGER II.

Unpack the power adapter and plug it into the bottom of the scale. Plug the line cord into a properly grounded AC power outlet.

Power up sequence and turn off scale

Press the power key fix ONOFF to turn on the Scale. The Tiger II goes through a series of self-tests when it is turned on. The scale performs a diagnostic test on its ROM and RAM, then proceeds to normal operating mode. The power-up sequence is as follows:

• All segments of the display characters are lighted. This verifies operation of all segments.
  The scale displays country code, GEO value, the software part number and revision number.
• The scale displays "----", and captures zero and is ready for normal operation.
  Note: Before switching on the Tiger II scale, always make sure there is nothing on the platter.

Press the power key fix ON/OFF until weigh display window shows "oFF" to turn off the scale.

Operations

Straight weighing

Place the item to be weighed on the platter.

Enter the unit price (The price to pay will come up in the total price display simultaneously).

Remove the item from the platter, all displays will return to 0.

Backlight function (Option)

Some versions of TIGER II are equipped with a backlight for both the operator display and the customer display. When the light of the environment is not bright enough to get a clear reading from Tiger II's display, the backlight can be switched on.

Press and hold the C-key until a longer beep is heard, then two continuous beeps will be heard to indicate the backlight has been switched on.

Use the same procedure to switch the backlight off or just turn the scale off.

When the scale is not used for 15 seconds, the backlight will automatically switch off; when a weight is placed on the platter or when a key is depressed, the backlight will switch on again.

Note: Please check the model name to see if the scale has backlight function.

Re-zero function

There are two ways to re-zero the scale, power-up zero and push button zero

Power-up Zero

The scale will automatically capture zero when it is turned on. The power-up zero capture range is ± 10% of the scale capacity. When the scale is turned on with a weight on the platter of more than 10% of the capacity, or with less weight than -10% , the scale will not capture zero (the weight display will show "----") and the scale will not be ready for use. After removing the weight or put the weight on the scale will capture "zero".

Pushbutton Zero

The ZERO key re-zeros the scale over a range of ± 2% of the scale capacity. To use this function, the scale must be in the gross weighing mode (NET cursor must be off) and in a no motion condition. When the weight on the platter is more than ± 2% of the scale capacity the depression of the zero key will not be accepted.

Tare Function

The Tare key subtracts the weight of the wrapping material.

Tare Function

Place the empty container or wrapping material on the platter.

Press the T- key.

Place the item to be weighed in the container or on the wrapping material and then onto the platter.

Enter the unit price.

Remove the weighed item and the container or wrapping material from the platter, the displays will show all 0.

To fix the tare, please refer to key-FIX function.

PLU (Price Look Up) Function

The PLU function can store 100 PLU. They can be used for frequently sold goods, where the data (prices or/and tare* depending on the setting in factory) can be looked up by simply entering the PLU number. The default is price only.

*Preset tare is not permitted in EU countries.

Store a PLU (unit price or/and tare)

Enter the required unit price or/and fare.

Press and hold the PLU key until a long beep is heard. In the weight display appears: "PLu".

Battery Maintenance

Battery type

Tiger II provides alternative to use battery. You can see the left sticker in the battery holder. The default status is that the switch is covered by the sticker, and default location of the switch is on the NIHM side, it means to only use rechargeable NIHM batteries of size UM1.

If you would like to use D-cell, please break the box in the middle of the sticker, and push the switch to the D-cell side, in this status, charging function is disabled automatically.

Always make sure that all six batteries have the same capacity. Please contact your authorized dealer for more information.

Notice:

Whenever you change the battery, please check the switch location to be sure that you chose the right battery type.

Installation

Before you install the batteries, make sure that the external power supply is disconnected. Turn the scale upside down and lay the scale carefully on the platter. Open the battery cover by pressing the two buttons, and then install the batteries as shown on the battery holder. Close the cover by just putting it back and pressing it to the right location.

Operation

When the scale is running on the battery power, the functionality will be same as when it is running on external power. Additionally, the so called "Sleep" function can be used, please refers to the step-up step 2. When the scale has activated the "Sleep" mode, simply depress any key to wake the scale.

When the power of the batteries is used, the battery cursor will light up to indicate the state of the battery.

: The battery is full or fully charged.
: Only about 2/3 power of the battery left
: Only about 1/3 power of the battery left
□: The power of the battery is at a critical level. The scale will be automatically turned off when the voltage of the battery is lower than 6V to prevent any wrong weight display.

Charging (automatically)

The automatic charging will only start when the battery capacity has dropped below approx. 5% of its capacity.

The scale allows recharging the NIHM batteries automatically and easily. To charge new NIHM batteries, please allow between 10~15 hours, depending on the battery type selected. To charge the batteries, simply connect the scale to the external power supply and switch the scale on.

During the charging, the battery cursor will blink. The quantity of the blocks inside the outline indicates how much power the battery now has. When blinking stop, the batteries are fully charged.

Manually Charging

To enable you to charge the batteries at any time at your convenience, even when they are not yet below approx. 5% of their capacity, the charging can be started manually. If the scale is connected to the external power supply and is switched on. Simply press the key-00 and keep it depressed for approx. 3 seconds, until the battery cursor's outline starts blinking. When the cursor has stopped blinking, the batteries are fully charged. Assuming the power is not interrupted during recharging.

Note

The total operation time of the scale on fully charged batteries depends on the basic capacity (mAh) of the batteries. The capacity of the NIHM batteries will reduce over the years and therefore also the total operation time of the scale. This is not an error of the scale, but it is normal behavior of the NIHM batteries.

Maintenance

Clean the scale regularly with a towel, making sure that no water comes into the housing. The platter can be removed and washed down, with normal household cleaning fluid.

Error Message

When the scale shows an error message, always first turn off the scale, wait for approx. 5 seconds and turn on the scale. Refer to the error message list, when the error message is still in the display. Error message list:
