2.0 INSTALLATION

2.1 LOCATING THE SCALES

• The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy.

• Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.

• Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate.

• Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors.

• Do not place near vibrating machinery.

• Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation. Avoid

direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the scales in water.

• Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening doors. Do not place near open windows or air-conditioning vents.

• Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the scales when they are not in use.

2.2 SETTING UP THE SCALES

• The scales come with a stainless steel platform, packed separately.

• Place the platform in the receptacles on the top cover.

• Do not press with excessive force as that could damage the load

cell inside.

• If an optional scoop has been supplied, place it on top of the platform.

• If an optional display on Pillar is supplied, install the pillar in the upright position into the socket at the rear of the scale by carefully pushing the cable inside the pillar rod. Secure the pillar rod to the socket by using two M4 screws. A black plastic cap is provided to seal the socket from the bottom to avoid damaging the cable.

• Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. The scale should be adjusted such that the bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of the level and the scale is supported by all four feet.

• Turn the power ON using the switch located on the right side of the base.

• The unit will display the software revision number in the Weight window and count down to zero while performing a self-test.

• When ready all three displays will show zero.

2.3 DISPLAY WINDOWS

Not applicable for South Africa and Far East

The window for the Weight has arrows to indicate when the scale is at zero or if the scale is displaying a net weight (if a tare value has been entered). It also indicates when the scale is stable.

The window for the Unit Price has arrows to show when the Auto Clear function is active and if the unit price is per 100g or per kilogram.

NOTE: For South Africa and Far East, unit price per 100g or per kg is not available.

The window for the Total Price displays the price of the items on the scale. Below this window is a LED to show the status of the battery charging.

The above display panel is also available with French, German, Spanish, Dutch

and Italian text or with symbols for Weight, Unit Price and Total Price.

2.4 BATTERY CHARGING

• The scale has an internal rechargeable lead acid battery. This battery will make the scale operate for 90 hours when fully charged or less if the backlight is on.

• When the battery needs charging the arrow above the low battery symbol under the Weight window will be on and the display will show “LO bAt” for a few seconds and every 2 minutes as a reminder. The battery should be charged immediately. The scale will still operate for about 15 minutes after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery from getting damaged.

• To charge the battery, simply switch the main power ON. The scale need not be turned on.

• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.

• Just under the Total Price window is an LED to indicate the

status of battery charging. When the scale is plugged into the main power, the internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery is fully charged. If it is red the battery is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery should be charged longer, preferably overnight.

• If the battery has not been used properly or it is used for a number of years it may eventually fail to hold a full charge. If the battery life becomes unacceptable then contact your distributor or Adam Equipment.
