Frequently Asked Questions - MP901600 ADE

How do I replace the battery in my ADE MP901600 scale?

Open the battery compartment on the bottom of the scale. Remove old batteries and insert two new AAA batteries (1.5V) with correct polarity. Close the compartment.

Why does my scale show 'Err' or 'Lo'?

'Err' typically indicates overload (weight exceeds 180 kg) or unstable surface. 'Lo' means low battery. Replace batteries if 'Lo' appears, and ensure the scale is on a flat, hard surface.

How do I change the unit from kg to lb?

Press the unit button (usually on the back or bottom) to toggle between kg, lb, and st. Refer to the manual for exact location.

What is the maximum weight capacity?

How do I clean the scale?

Wipe the glass platform and body with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water.

The scale shows different weights each time I step on it. What's wrong?

Ensure the scale is on a hard, level floor. Avoid carpets. Weigh yourself at the same time of day, without moving. If problem persists, replace batteries.

Is the scale suitable for professional use?

This scale is designed for home use. It is not certified for medical or professional accuracy requirements.

How do I activate the scale?

Step onto the scale gently to turn it on automatically. It will zero and then display your weight. It turns off automatically after a few seconds of inactivity.

Can I use the scale on carpet?

Safety precautions

Avoid impacts on the weighing platform and do not overload the scale. Take care when the scale is being transported. Please note that your ADE control scale is a precession instrument.

Do not expose the scale to elevated temperatures neither sun insulation nor adjoining devices. The liquid crystal display may be damaged.

Electronic scales should not come into contact with water. Operate the scale in a dry area. Clean the scale with a damp cloth. In case there a intrusion of water switch the scale off immediately and let it dehumidify.

Do not clean the scale with aggressive cleaning detergents. The casing will lose its brilliant surface, and gets more vulnerable to dirt.

In case the scale is not used for a longer period, it should be cleaned and stored in a protection cover.

As soon as the charge condition symbol 📄pears, the accumulator needs to be recharged.

Before connecting the mains cable with the scale make sure that the type of current is corresponding with the type of current mentioned on the type label.

In case of non-using the scale for a longer period the accumulator needs to be recharged every month or the accumulator has to be disassembled. After using the scale should be charged again.

A storage of the scale with discharged accumulator leads to a reduced lifespan of the accumulator.

Power supply of the scale

The power supply of the scale is done with the integrated rechargeable battery or the IEC Power Connector. Before connecting the mains cable with the scale make sure that the type of current is corresponding with the type of current mentioned on the type label.

• The battery pack is already installed in the base of the scale.
• Charge the power-pack by using the mains adapter and connect the jack firmly. Complete first charging of power-pack needs 24 hours.
• The full battery life is approx. 100 hours.
• If power-pack needs recharging there will be an arrow above the low battery symbol on the display. Still the scale will operate for about 10 hours after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery.
• You can also identify status of battery charging by the colour of the LED control light placed in the right hand corner above the display. When the scale is plugged into mains the power pack will be recharged automatically. LED is illuminated green the batteries have full charge. If it is red the battery is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is under charge.
• Battery life becomes weaker if lifetime after charging becomes shorter. In this case contact your local dealer or service partner.
• Please make sure the local voltage supply corresponds to the indication printed on the adapter.

Positioning of the scale

Take the scale out of the packaging and place the scale on a plane and stable surface. The surrounding has to be clean and dry. The scale should not be placed near to open windows or doors, air conditioning systems or fan heaters, because draught could influence the measuring results.

Place the plastic tray platform on the scale by placing the four pins in the appropriate holes. Then place the stainless steel weighing platform on the platform.

Make sure all four feet of the platform have direct contact to the surface.

The spirit level of the scale is an additional tool to make sure the scale is carefully positioned and offers best results when the air bubble is centered.

The alignment of the scale must be checked and corrected every time the location of the scale is changed!

Switch on the scale

Remove all goods from the weighing platform and place the organ tray onto the platform BEFORE switching on the device. This way a later taring of the organ tray is not necessary. Switch on the scale. On/Off switch is placed underneath the scale on the right hand side. After switch-on the scale is running an automatic functions test ending with showing "0.000" in the display. The scale is now ready for weighing.

After changing the location of the scale especially with temperature fluctuations please wait for 15 minutes after switch-on to warm up inside the scale. This helps stabilizing measuring results of weighing.

Switch off the scale

Switch off the scale with switch, which is on the right hand side underneath the scale.

Zeroing

By using the -0 -key eventual irregularities occurred after start up the scale can be compensated by setting the display back to zero for all subsequent weighing procedures.

Weighing

Place the weighing object on the platform and the display will show the weight.

A stable value will be shown on the left of the display with symbol O.

If there's an underload display shows „----“ and an acoustic warning signal appears. Remove all objects from the weighing platform, adjust it and restart weighing process.

If there's an overload display shows „--OL--“. In this case remove all objects to avoid irreparable damages.

If display of the scale shows a value without objects on the platform, press to set zero manually.

Tare Function

This function enables the user to weigh objects together with others (e.g. container, foil or paper cloth) without the additional weight influencing the weighing result.

• Switch on the scale.
• If necessary use the manual zero function by pressing if necessary. The ZERO indication appears on display.
• Place the object (e.g. container, foil or paper cloth) on the tray.

- Press key to come back to zero. Display now shows '0.000' and NET and ZERO symbol will appear.

- Put the object to be weighed on the platform.

- The weight of object can be read from the display. In display NET appears.

If the object to be tared remains always the same you may continue weighing another object. The scale will tare automatically the stored value and will show only the net weight of the individually weighed object. In case the scale is shut off automatically (e.g. in battery operating mode) the stored value is cleared. If the value to be tared should be changed during operation

of the scale, remove all objects from the scale. Then press again to return to normal weighing mode.

Unit function

By using UNIT you may select the weighing mode.

Setting of backlight and Unit function

The user has the possibility to activate or deactivate the backlight.

Activated backlight makes it easier to read the weighing results from the display, but it also needs more power consumption.

For setting the backlight parameter press same time buttons and . Display shows "inC" (graduation). In this parameter you must not make any changes, because otherwise it'll change metrological parameter which could lead to wrong measuring results.

To pass to the next parameter just press

Display shows "EL" for setting the backlight.

Indication in Display	Option
EL Au Backlight on, only if weighing platform is loaded.
EL Off Backlight is deactivated and permanently out.
EL On Backlight is activated and permanently on.

To confirm your choice press

Now display shows "A2". In this parameter you must not make any changes, because otherwise it'll change metrological parameter which could lead to wrong measuring results.

To pass to the next parameter just press

Display now shows "Ut" for setting the units.

In sequence it will be shown units g (grams), t (Tola), lb (pound), and oz (ounce), which can be individually activated or deactivated.

If a unit, e. g. g for grams, is shown, press to activate/deactivate unit. If display shows "on", unit is activated. If display shows "off", unit is deactivated.

By pressing -0 you'll pass to next unit. Please repeat this step for each unit.

After setting the last unit (oz) and finalising with -0 , display will show CAL (with G value).

In this parameter you must not make any changes, because otherwise it'll change metrological parameter which could lead to wrong measuring results.

Just press 0

The scale turns automatically in weighing mode and is now ready for weighing with new parameter settings.

After switch-off the scale parameter settings will be stored.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning

Before cleaning make sure the scale has been disconnected from the socket. For cleaning just use a damp cloth or common disinfection products. Do not use any aggressive cleaning fluids.

Make sure no water or cleaning fluid penetrates the scale, because it could damage the scale irreparably!
