“STOP” indicator Indicates that “STOP” function is active.

ON/OFF key Power on/off

“STOP” key After pressing that key the weighed value i s maintained on the digital display for 120 seconds after removing the weighed object.

“ZERO” key for tare Sets the display to zero or deducts the weight of the container.

• When the device is to be supplied from the adapter, connect the adapter to the device by putting the plug in appropriate socket on the left side of the remote display, then put the network plug in the single wall socket with earthing. ATTENTION! Only use the original adapter for the scale. Other adapters may lead to permanent electric damage.

• The device may also be supplied from the batteries. Open the battery compartment on the right side of the display and install 4 alkaline batteries AAA, paying attention to polarity. Close the battery compartment.

• When there are no objects on the weighing surface, press ON/OFF . The digital display shows all symbols for a few seconds, then the maximum load and scaling.

• When the display shows “0”, weighing of objects may begin.

• To turn off the scale press ON/OFF again.

• When the digital scale is not used, remove the network plug from the wall socket. In case of longer inactivity remove the batteries from the device.

• Press ON/OFF to turn the scale on. When the device is turned on, all values appear on the display for a few seconds and then the display shows “0”. Weighing may begin.

• Selecting the weighing unit using the button Press to select “kg“ or “lb“. The weighing unit appears after selection next to the displayed weight. When the indication stops blinking (which means that the data are stable), the weighed value may be read.

• Weighing without a container: Check whether “0” is displayed. If not, press to display “0“. Place the objects to be weighed on the weighing surface. Once the value is stable, the stability indicator “►” appears on the display.- 27 -

• Weighing with a container: Place the empty container on the weighing surface. Wait until the stability indicator “►” appears and press . Place the objects to be weighed in the container. Once the value is stable, the stability indicator “►” appears on the display.

Calibration methods Arbitrary single-point calibration a) Turn on the device, press and hold until the display shows “------”. b) Press or to switch to the calibration mode. The digital display shows “CAL”. c) Press to make sure that the calibration mode is active. d) The digital display shows “Load” and “0.0kg” alternately. e) Make sure that there are no objects on the weighing surface. Press to confirm the scale calibration for “0.0kg”. During the calibration for “0.0kg” the symbol “0.0kg” flashes on the display. Assure peace and stability of the weighing surface, as well as lack of influence of other factors which might disturb weighing. When the load is maintained in a stable way for longer than 2 seconds, the scale automatically finishes calibration for “0.0kg” and switches to the next calibration step. Otherwise the symbol “0.0kg” still flashes on the display until the load is stabilized. f) Assuming that the next calibration step is “xx.xkg”, the digital display shows “Load“ and “xx.xkg” alternately, which means that the load of “xx.xkg” should be placed on the weighing surface. When that load needs to be modified, press or to enter the modification menu. Then press to modify the flashing position. Press to increase the flashing position by „plus 1” and press to make sure that the modification has been made. g) Make sure that the load on the weighing surface is “xx.xkg” and press to confirm the calibration of “xx.xkg”. During the calibration for “xx.xkg” the symbol “xx.xkg” flashes on the display. Assure peace and stability of the weighing surface, as well as lack of influence of other factors which might disturb weighing. When the load is maintained in a stable way for longer than 2 seconds, the scale automatically finishes calibration for “xx.xkg” and saves the calibration parameters in the memory. Otherwise the symbol “xx.xkg” still flashes on the display until the load is stabilized.- 28 - Standard double-point calibration a) Turn on the device, press and hold until the display shows “------”. b) Press or to switch to the calibration mode. The digital display shows “Line”. c) Press to make sure that the calibration mode is active. d) When the scale calibration begins, the digital display shows “Load” and “0.0kg” alternately. e) Make sure that there are no objects on the weighing surface. Press to confirm the scale calibration for “0.0kg”. During the calibration for “0.0kg” the symbol “0.0kg” flashes on the display. Assure peace and stability of the weighing surface, as well as lack of influence of other factors which might disturb weighing. When the load is maintained in a stable way for longer than 2 seconds, the scale automatically finishes calibration for “0.0kg” and switches to the next calibration step. Otherwise the symbol “0.0kg” still flashes on the display until the load is stabilized. f) The next calibration is displayed automatically, referring to half of the maximum load (30 or 75 kg). Place the indicated load on the weighing surface, wait until the load stabilization (flashing stops) and press to confirm. g) The scale switches automatically to the calibration of the maximum load (60 or 150 kg). Place the indicated load on the weighing surface, wait until the load stabilization (flashing stops) and press to confirm. h) Now it is possible to return to the weighing mode. STOP function

After pressing key the weighed value is maintained on the digital display for 120 seconds after removing the weighed object from the weighing surface. That function allows for easy load readout.

1. Place the weighed object on the weighing surface.

Wait for the acoustic signal. The digital display shows “►” indicating “STOP”.

4. Remove the weighed object from the weighing surface. The weighed value is shown

on the digital display for 120 seconds.

5. Exiting/deactivation of STOP function.

The object is weighed and the STOP function is activated. In order to deactivate/exit the STOP function press again to turn off “►” symbol meaning STOP and return to the weighed value.- 29 - Sending data / printing function

• If the electronic digital scale is to be integrated with the computer system, the RS 232 connector allows for data transfer from the weighing operation.

• Press and hold for 2 seconds, the acoustic signal is emitted and data from the weighing operation are sent from the CPU to the connected computer or printer.

Counting mode (number of pieces)

• That function of the digital scale allows for determination of number of pieces in one sample. The number of pieces is determined upon the basis of known weight of a single piece.

• Remove all objects from the weighing surface and press to set the device to “0”.

• press until the device switches to “pcs” mode and the display shows “ADD10”.

• By pressing it is possible to set the number of pieces (20, 50, 5).

• Place the number of pieces corresponding to the setting (5, 10, 20, 50) on the weighing surface. Caution: the weight of each piece must be higher from the minimum allowable partial weight, otherwise the display shows symbol “no”. The pieces weight must be identical.

• Press in order to calculate the unitary weight and save it in the memory.

• Remove the weighed objects from the weighing surface. The digital scale is now set for calculating the objects of the same unitary weight.

• Place the objects to be counted on the weighing surface. The digital display shows number of pieces of a given object.

• In order to count another number of a given objects press

If the counting operation is to be terminated, press to stop the counting mode and the scale saves the last value used for counting.- 30 -
