Installation
Precautions
This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information to install the Mini-Tiger scale successfully.
Environment
Before you install your Mini-Tiger scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances the operation and longevity of the scale. 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-rerepeatable 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 Mini-Tiger is a precision instrument and may be permanently damaged if not shipped in factory approved packaging.
Package contents for all Mini-Tiger units include:
Mini-Tiger scale
platter
AC-DC power adapter
operation manual
Setup
Open the box and pull up the scale, including the packing material. Remove the packing material from each side of the scale. Set the unit on a sturdy, 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, Mini-Tiger is levelled correctly.
Bubble indicator: Good
All four feet must touch the surface to make sure that Mini-Tiger does not rock.
Put the platter on top of Mini-Tiger.
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
Press the power key to turn on the Mini-Tiger. The Mini-Tiger goes through a series of self-tests when it is turned on. The scale performs a diagnostic test on its ROM and RAM, and proceeds to normal operating mode. The power-up sequence is as follows:
- Light all segments of the display characters. This verifies operation of all segments.
- Display the software revision and part number.
- Display GEO value in weight window.
- Capture zero and be ready for normal operation.
Note: Before switching on the Mini-Tiger scale, always make sure there is nothing on the platter.

Customer display
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.
Re-zero function
There are two ways to re-zero the scale:
- Power-up Zero
- 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, the scale will not capture zero (the weight display will show "----") and the scale will not be ready for use. After removing the weight 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.
Pushbutton Tare
Place the empty container or wrapping material on the platter.
Press _T^>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, as well as the container or wrapping material from the platter, the displays will show all 0.
PLU (Price Look Up) Function
The PLU function stores 25 PLU's in the scale's memory. They can be used for frequently sold goods, where the prices can be looked up by simply entering the PLU number.
Storing a PLU
Enter the required unit price.
Press and hold the PLU key until two beeps is heard.
In the weight display appears: "PLU".
Enter the PLU number (between 1 and 25) and wait for approx. 3 seconds, until the scale beeps twice.
Recalling a PLU
Press the (PLU) key followed by the desired one or two-digit number. The stored unit price will appear in the unit price display.
Power Saving Feature
Power saving feature is used to save battery power.
When using the battery and the scale is idle for 2 minutes, both the price and total price displays will turn off, the weight display will only display one O on the right and the battery in use cursor is lit. This indicates that the scale is in the power saving cycle. When weight is placed on the platter or a key is pressed, the scale will wake up
automatically.
If there is still no key operation and weight change 15 minutes after power saving status occurred, the scale will be turned off automatically. This function can be enabled or disabled through setting of the softswitch (group 1, step
4: "Automatic Power Off").
By-Count function*
By-Count function is used to calculate the price of non-weighing items.
1) Enter deal quantity (1-99), press By-Count key, then enter the deal price.
2) Press enter key. The scale is now ready for by-count operation. The by-count cursor* is illuminated.
3) Enter the quantity to be sold, the scale will display the total price.
4) Press clear key to return the scale to weighing mode.
Accumulation Function*
Perform a transaction as described in straight weighing, by-count or tare mode sections.
Press the accumulation key. The total price will be added to the accumulated total. The illuminated cursors will point to "TOTAL" and "ADD". The weight display will show message "totAL", the unit price display will show the number of accumulations and the total price display will show the accumulated total price.
Repeat the above two steps until all desired transactions are accumulated.
There are three ways to return the scale back to the normal weigh mode:
1: Pressing the clear key to clear an accumulator, and return to weighing mode.
2: Press tare key to tare and back to weighing mode.
3: Press numeric key to enter new price and return to weighing mode.
Press accumulation key to recall accumulation when total price is zero or total price field is blank.
- These functions and cursors are not available in the scale to EU countries.
Battery Maintenance
Rechargeable lead-acid battery
If charging kit is installed, the scale can charge the lead-acid battery (6V/5Ah). To charge a lead-acid battery, connect the scale to the external power supply. The battery will be charged regardless the scale is on or off.
It usually takes not more than 12 hours to charge the battery to full capacity depending on the voltage of the battery. If the battery is has been deep-discharged, a prolonged charging time is required to bring the battery back to full capacity.
There are two battery cursors, one is 3 , and the other is 4 . Cursor 1 lit to indicate the battery capacity is full and current power source is power supply, and it flashes to indicate that battery is being charged. Cursor (-) is lit to indicate that current power source is battery, and it flashes to indicate that voltage of the battery is lower than the required.
The scale shows "L Bat" in the weight window and stop weighing when the cursor begins blinking, and the scale will be turned off automatically about 10 seconds later. In this case, please charge the batteries.
If the unit is plugged into the wall outlet when battery power is used, the power source will automatically switch to the wall transformer. And when the AC power is off, power source will automatically switch to battery.
Notice
The battery should be recharged at least every 5 months regardless it is used or not. After a long time storage, e.g. over 3 months, it is desired to cycle (charge/discharge) the battery 3 times to let it restore to full capacity.
When replacing the battery, pay much attention to the poles. The positive (+) terminal must be connected to the red connector and the negative (-) terminal must be connected to the black connector. If connected wrongly, the battery will be damaged.
