HOW TO WEIGHT A PRODUCT
Turn your scale on pressing the key. At this moment the scale is ready to weight.
Then place the product to weight on the plate and you will see the weight in the alphanumeric display. The "kg" symbol will appear in the display. For example, if you place a product whose weight is 3kg , you will see the following
3000kg
HOW TO USE THE "TARE" (KEYPAD/FOOTSWITCH)
When you wish to weight a product in a container and you do not want to consider the container's weight during the operation, you can use the "tare" function. To use this function, follow these steps: suppose you are going to weight 5kg of some product in a container that weight 10kg .
1.- Place the empty container on the scale.
1000kg
2.- Press the key or the footswitch. Then the display will show: Note: if the weight displayed on the display is changing the tare function can't be enabled.
3.- Put the product inside the container and the scale shows only the weight of the product without the container's weight. Note: when you remove the container a negative number (weight of container) appears in the display
It is important to mention that this function is subtractive. For example, if we have a container that weight 1kg , the scale will only be able to weight up to 1kg of product to complete the maximum capacity (3 kilograms in a l-eq 4 model). To cancel the tare function just press the key or the footswitch and the scale will return to the normal function. The tare symbol will disappear
The two following observations are specially important.
A) when there is no weight on the scale (container) you can not activate the "tare" function.
B) when a container is "tared", but when you remove it from the plate and you remove a larger weight than the container, (grease, remaining of a product, etc.), or when the plate is slightly lifted with your hand. "neg" (negative) will appear.
NE6

TARE
When this happens :
A) Let go the plate if you are holding it.
B) If the message continues, turn off the scale and turn it on again.
HOW TO USE THE "REFERENCE TO ZERO"
It is possible for the scale to show a number in the display without having any product on the plate due to voltage variations, rough handling, or some other factor. When this happens, simply press the key and the view finder will return to "zero". The word "zero" will appear in the display. This operation is commonly known as "resetting to zero".
HOW TO USE THE KEY

Information format sended to pc
Normally, it was sent through port serial, the following information in ascii code:
This function is permanently activated when the scale is on, and only when you do not have the ac/dc power supply connected to the scale. When you do not use the scale for a period of time approximate to 15 minutes, it will automatically turn off. To turn on the scale again, just press the
key
The power off timer function permit you to save electricity and avoid constant battery recharges.
USE OF THE BATTERY
The scale can operate with an ac/dc power supply, or with a battery (6 volt included). The battery is rechargeable using the ac/dc power supply and the procedure is the following.
recharge: to make this operation, just connect the scale to the ac/dc power supply for a period of time approximate to 10 hours with the scale turned off. The energy stored in the battery during a recharge can last up to 100 hours of continuous operation. When you recharge the battery for some hours, but the battery can not get enough charge to turn on the scale, then you must change the battery by a new one. In this case you can contact to your authorized distributor.
LIFE TIME OF THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
The charging capacity of the rechargeable battery in this scale decreases according to the number of charge/discharge cycles, this causes that the service life is reduced to 1000 cycles. For this reason the warranty period for the battery is limited to six months after the purchase date of the scale.
"LOW BATTERY" INDICATOR
If the battery does not have enough energy to keep the scale operating for a long time, a low battery indicator appears in the view finder. This is the first warning signal indicating that it is necessary to recharge the battery.
Even with this signal, it is possible for the scale to keep on operating for a short period of time (30 minutes), but after a second warning signal appears ("low bat") in the display, the scale stops itself and does not respond to the instructions.
To eliminate any of the two indicators and continue using the scale without any concern, connect the ac/dc power supply to the scale. And remember to recharge the battery.
Connection to the car's lighter (optional)
VIII.-OTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGES THAT APPEAR IN THE SCALE / OTROS MENSAJES IMPORTANTES QUE APARECEN EN LA BÁSCULA
OVRLOAd
This message indicates that a weight that exceeds the maximum capacity has been placed on the scale. To correct this, simply remove the over weight.
HELP
This message appears in two different situations:
A) when the scale is turned on with an excessive weight on the plate. To correct this situation remove the weight that is on the scale, turn off the scale and then turn it on again.
B) when the scale was handled roughly and/or got hitted during the shipment, which caused irreversible damages in this operation. In this case call your authorized distributor.
NE6
This message indicates a negative weight, this could happen if you lift or remove the scale's plate. To correct this put the plate back in its place and press the key or turn the scale off and then turn it on again.
