OPERATIONS DESCRIPTION

HOW TO WEIGHT A PRODUCT

At the end of this countdown sequence, zeroes will appear in the view finder, indicating that the scale is ready to use. If not, see reference to zero section. Then place the product to be weighed on the plate and you will see the weight in the corresponding indicator. P-PACK ZERO PRICE €

The products price per kilogram are entered pressing the numbers of the keyboard to indicate the desired value. This value will appear in the "PRICE" indicator and the total amount to pay will be calculated automatically being shown in the "TOTAL" indicator. For example, if the product price per kilogram in the previous examples is $8.20, just press and the following display will appear:

HOW TO CLEAR WRONG PRICES

When a mistaken price is entered, you can clear it in two ways: a) Manually: Simply press the clear key and enter the correct price. b) Automatically: The price is automatically cleared removing the product from the plate, except if it's not enabled the fixed price function.

FIXED PRICE FUNCTION

When it is necessary to constantly be weighing the same kind of product, which don´t change its price, you can use the "FIXED PRICE" function. It is used to keep the price "FIXED" in the "PRICE" indicator avoiding it to be automatically cleared when the weight is removed from the scale. To fix a price, follow these steps: 1.- Place the product on the plate. 2.- Enter the product price per kilogram. 3.- Press

After these steps, a small arrow will light up in the upper right corner of the "TOTAL" indicator, pointing to the label "P-PACK" (fixed price). As an example, suppose that the product is ham, the weight is 4 kilograms, and the price is $2.70 per kilogram after entering the fixed price, the view finder will look like this: To clear the fixed price function, just press the key.

When you wish to weight a product in a container but you do not want to consider the containers weight during the operation, you can use the TARE function. To use this function follow these steps: Suppose you are going to weight 15 kilograms of sugar in a plastic container that weights 3.5 kilograms and that the price per kg is $1.80 P-PACK PRICE €

1.- Place the empty container on the scale. 2.- Press the key. After some seconds the view finder will display: 3.- Remove the container and put the sugar inside it. When you remove the container, a negative number (weight of the container) appears in the UPPER-LEFT indicator. 4.- Place the container on the scale and put sugar in the container until you have 15 kg. Then enter the price per kilogram press

To clear this function, just press the key again. It is important to mention that this function is substractive from the scale maximum capacity. For example if you have a container that weights 7 kg, The scale only will be able to weight up to 33 kg of product to complete the maximum capacity. HOW TO USE THE REFERENCE TO ZERO This function has two uses: a) Permanent tare: when you wish to weigh some products over a same container several times, you should use this function , and to eliminate it, just remove the container from the plate and press key again. As in the tare function this function is also substractive from the scale capacity, for example: if you reference to 10 kg, the scale only will be able to weight up to 30 kg. b) Due to voltage variance or some other factor, it is posibble that without having any weight over the plate, the view finder shows some weight, or the zero flag is not on, then press the key and the scale will be referenced to zero, turning the zero flag on.

This function sends through the serial port the weight to be printed. P-PACK PRICE €

Your scale has 100 memories to store the prices of 100 products that are sold more frequently. The memories are numbered from 00 to 99. To save a price in a memory location:

1) Type the price you wish to save.

3) Type the memory address (00-99) in wich you wish to save the price, or you also can press any

of the direct access keys

NOTE: We suggest to use an adhesive label to mark the direct access keys. HOW TO LOAD A MEMORY:

and then the memory address (00-99) you wish to load or just press any of the direct access keys

Example: If you wish to save $26.60 in the memory address 6, follow these steps:

or just press the direct access key . With this sequence the price is saved in the memory address 06. If you wish to load the memory of this example just type or just , and in the "PRICE" indicator will be displayed the price stored in memory, in this case will be $26.60. To change the price stored in a memory just type the new price and store it in the memory address you want to change according the procedure described above. These keys are very useful to avoid the same price constantly typing. To use of these memories we suggest to have at hand the list product that are saved in each memory address. To delete all the memories that are stored, turn the scale on and during the countdown type PRINT and all the memories will be deleted to zero.

HOW TO TURN ON THE BACKLIGHT

This scale model has a backlight that helps you to see the display information better. It can be turned on in two ways:

1) Automatically: when an AC adaptor is connected to the scale.

2) Manually: It can be performed by pressing the

key. And can be turned off in two ways:

1) Automatically: when the scale is powered only by battery and the battery is low the backlight is

2) Manually: It can be performed by pressing the

key. Note: Using the backlight and only powering the scale with the battery, the charge of the battery will last less hours

POWER OFF TIMER FUNCTION

This function is permanently enabled when the scale is on, and only when you do not have the AC/DC power supply connected to the scale. When the scale is not use for a period of time greater then 15 minutes, it will be automatically turn off and therefore all the information of the transaction you were doing will be lost. To turn on the scale again, just press the key, and repeat your customers operations. The power off timer function permit you to save electricity and avoids constant battery recharges.

As mentioned before, the scale can operate with a 6 volt built in battery or with an AC/DC power supply. The battery is rechargeable using the AC/DC power supply. BATTERY RECHARGE To make this operation, just connect the AC/DC power supply to the scale for 10 HOURS making sure that the scale was turned off. The energy stored in the battery during a recharge can last up to 30 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 have to charge the battery, in this case contact to your authorized distributor.

The charging capacity of the rechargeable battery in this scale decreases according to the number of charge/discharge cycles, this causes the service life is reduced to 1000 cycles. For this reason the warranty period of 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 a long time, appears "LO bAt" in the “WEIGHT” indicators and "PRICE" indicators, the scale stops itself and does not respond to the instructions until the battery be recharged or be connected to the AC main. Service life in relation to charge/discharge cycles % of capacity available Charge and discharge cycles

OTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGES THAT APPEAR ON THE SCALE This message indicates that a weight that exceeds the maximum capacity has been placed on the scale. To correct it simply, remove the over weight. This message appears in two different situations: a) When the scale is turned on with an excessive weight on the plate (near to the half capacity of the scale). 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, wich caused irreversible damages in its operation. In this case call your authorized distributor. This message indicates a negative weight, this could happen if you lift or remove the scales 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. This message appears when: If we turn on the scale with a product on the plate, to eliminate this message simply remove the product that is on the scale, turn off the scale and then turn it on again.

This message indicates that the total was exceeded when the multiplication price per weight exceed 999999 then appear lines in the "TOTAL" indicator. If this message appears in the display, indicates that the scale needs to be recharged. Even with this advise the scale can continue working during a time of 30 min. If this appears and after some seconds the scale turns off , this indicates that the scale is completely discharged. In this point the scale doesn't work and all of the operations performed at that time will be lost. To correct this problem connect the AC/DC adaptor for a period of time of 10 hrs. and keeping the scale off. In case of using the scale during this period, there's no problem to use it, only the recharge time will be higher. This arrow indicates that the scale is working under the "FIXED PRICE" mode.
