Frequently Asked Questions - PP 50 PCE Instruments

How do I turn the PP 50 scale on and off?

Press the on/off key briefly to turn on. Press again to turn off. The scale also switches off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

How do I tare the scale?

Place the container on the scale, then press and release the tare key. The display will reset to zero. Note: taring does not increase the weighing range.

How can I change the weighing unit?

Repeatedly press the unit key to cycle through available units: lb/oz, kg/g, kg, g, lb, oz. The selected unit will appear on the display.

How do I use the piece counting function?

Place a reference quantity (e.g., 25, 50, 75, or 100 pieces) on the scale. Press and hold the piece counting key, use the unit key to select the number of pieces, then press the piece counting key again to start counting. To exit, press the unit key.

How does the hold function work?

After the reading stabilizes, the hold indicator flashes six times. Then the reading is held for 6 seconds if the weight changes by more than 5 g. This function cannot be disabled.

What should I do if the display shows 'O-Ld'?

'O-Ld' indicates overrange. The weight applied exceeds the maximum weighing range (50 kg / 110 lb). Remove load immediately to avoid damage.

How do I calibrate the PP 50 scale?

Turn on the scale, then press and hold the unit key until the weighing range is briefly displayed. Use the tare key to select calibration weight (5000 g or 10000 g), then press unit key. 'CAL' appears; place the calibration weight on the platform. 'PASS' indicates success. Press off to cancel.

What type of batteries does the scale use and how long do they last?

The scale uses 3 x AAA batteries (included). Battery life depends on usage; the low battery indicator 'LO' appears when replacement is needed.

Can I use a mains adaptor?

Yes, a mains adaptor is included. It requires 100-240 V AC input and provides 6 V DC, 1 A output. Connect to the mains connection on the scale.

How should I clean and maintain the scale?

Clean with a damp cloth and pH-neutral cleaner. Do not use abrasives or solvents. Avoid exposing the scale to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or moisture. Do not disassemble; contact PCE Instruments for repairs.

Taring does not increase the weighing range.

7 Changing the unit

To select the unit, press the unit key repeatedly until you see your desired unit displayed. You can choose lb / oz, kg / g, kg, g, lb or oz.

With the unit key, you can now select how many pieces are on the scales. You can choose 25, 50, 75 or 100 pieces. Press the piece counting key again to use the piece counting function. To exit the piece counting function, press the unit key. You can repeat the piece count measurement with the same reference at any time by pressing and releasing the piece counting key once. If you want to teach in a new reference weight, start again with this paragraph and repeat the procedure.

9 Measured value

After the displayed reading has stabilised, the "hold" indicator flashes six times. As soon as "hold" stops flashing, the reading is held for another 6 seconds if the weight changes by more than 5 g.

Note:

This function cannot be disabled.

10 Calibration

To perform a calibration, press and hold the unit key while the scales are switched on until the scales' weighing range is briefly displayed once. You can then select the calibration weight. To do this, press the tare key. You can choose 5,000 g or 10,000 g. Then press the unit key. "CAL" briefly appears on the display. The set weight is then displayed flashing. Now place the set weight on the weighing cell. After a few seconds, "PASS" is shown on the display if the calibration was successful.

Note:

If you wish to cancel the calibration or if an error has occurred, you can cancel the calibration at any time by switching off the scales.

11 Contact

12 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste. They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
