The AZplus series of digital price-computing scales provide an accurate, fast and
versatile method of computing price by weight.
These series of scales are EC approved for the use in UK and Europe.
For all revisions from 1.27 and above, the Price per kilogram and per 100 gram [Kg 100g] key can be disabled at the factory for the scales to be used in South Africa
and Far East. This is done by linking the jumper at K5 position on the PCB.

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.
3.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
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 of 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.
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 count down while performing a self-test.
When ready the displays will show zero.
3.3 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 whether it displays the price per 100g or per kilogram.
NOTE: For AZplus for South Africa and Far East, unit weight 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 state of the battery charger.
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.
3.4 BATTERY CHARGING
The scale has an internal rechargeable lead acid battery. This battery will make the scale
operate for more than 70 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 display will be on. The battery should be charged immediately. The scale will still
operate for about 10 hours 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 does not need to be
turned on.
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
Just under the Total Price display 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.
Note: The AZplus scales sold in Europe have a slightly different keypad. For Tare
and Zero, the text keys are replaced by the symbol keys.

You can press the [Zero] key when no tare is entered to set the zero point from which all
other weighing is measured. This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty.
When the zero point is obtained the Weight display will show an arrow next to the Zero
legend marked under the Weight display.
The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or
accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press the [Zero] key
to re-zero the scale if small amounts of weight are shown when the platform is empty.
4.2 TARING
Taring is used to eliminate the weight of a container so that only the net weight is
displayed.
Zero the scale by pressing [Zero] if necessary. The zero indicator will be on.
Place an empty container on the platform. It’s weight will be displayed.
Press [Tare] to zero the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value
and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The Net
indicator will be on. As product is added only the weight of the product will be shown.
When the product and container are removed the weight display will show a negative
value. If a different container is to be used, remove this negative tare value by pressing the
To determine the value of a product sold by weight it is necessary to enter the cost per
kilogram using the numeric keys or one of the preset PLU values.
The Weight display will show the net weight, the Unit Price display will show the price per
kilogram or per 100g as selected by the [kg 100g] key. The Total Price display will show
the computed value for the total price.

Note: For all revisions from 1.27 and above, the Price per kilogram and per 100
gram [Kg 100g] key can be disabled at the factory for the scales to be used in
South Africa and Far East. This is done by linking the jumper at K5 position on
the PCB.
The user can store and recall up to 43 PLU values (Product Look Up).
The values stored are used to calculate the price for goods.
The value is stored as either cost per kilogram or cost per 100g.
The keys labelled [PLU1] to [PLU3] are used to immediately recall the most used PLU
values and the [PLU4] key is used to access up to 40 other values. To recall one of these
values the following procedure applies.
1. To recall PLU number 1, simply press [PLU1].
2. The same applies to PLU number 2 and 3.
3. To recall one of the other PLU values press [PLU4]. The display will
show “LOAd” “POS 00” ” ”. If a number (01 to 39) is entered
immediately, then the value saved against that PLU number will be
recalled. If nothing is entered after a few seconds, the value saved for
PLU 4 will be recalled.
For example:
Press [PLU4].
Press [1] and then [4] immediately.
Display will show “LOAd” “POS 14” ” ” and the Unit Weight value for
PLU 14 will be displayed.

The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised calibration.
Contact Adam Equipment or your supplier for more details.
The calibration of the AZplus scale is
accomplished by removing the label at
the base of the scale which covers a hole
through which the PCB can be accessed.
If your scale is not provided with this
hole, you need to break the security
seals and remove the top cover to gain
access to the circuit boards inside. See
the figure on the security seal below.
WARNING: CALIBRATION OF THE SCALES MAY MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO
USE THE SCALES FOR SALES OF GOODS. CONTACT YOUR TRADING
STANDARDS OFFICE FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE.
5.2 SECURITY SEALS
To seal the scale a lead-wire seal can be
used as shown below. The base has a
metal pin that protrudes through the
cover. The security seal may be threaded
through this metal pin, making it
impossible to remove the cover without
damaging either the security seal or the
enclosure.
measures may be added to the scale as
required by the national legislation.

5.3CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised calibration.
To calibrate the scales, access to the PCB inside is needed to place a jumper in K6
position. This is done by removing the tamper-proof label placed on a hole at the bottom of
the scale. Through the hole, pick up the jumper (the jumper will be there placed on one of
the pins on the PCB) and place it in the desired K6 position. If the hole is not provided in
your scale, the security seal has to be broken to remove the top cover and gain access to
the main PCB. Replace the cover and install the screws before starting the calibration.
