2.0 INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the DuneTM, DCT compact scales. Every Dune is equipped with the features you really need: DC adapter, auto-calibration through the keypad, low-battery indicator, and overload indicator. With its alternate battery operation, splash-proof key pad, and sturdy plastic construction throughout, the Dune will deliver accurate readings both indoors and out.

3.0 SET UP

3.1 UNPACKING AND SETTING UP YOUR SCALE

1) Remove the top pan, scale and adaptor from the packaging. Take care not

to apply pressure to the top of the scale.

2) Connect the power adapter to the socket on the back of the machine.

Remove the battery compartment cover and insert six batteries (R6P/LR6 /AA size) into the battery compartment taking extreme care that the polarities plus and minus are observed.

3.2 LOCATING

AND PROTECTING YOUR SCALE

In order to keep your scale functioning at its best we suggest that you do the following:

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

Make sure the scale is located on a strong table and free from vibration.

such as welding equipment or large motors. Do not mix batteries and use only the factory approved power adapter supplied with the machine. Do

Keep free from vibration. Do not place near heavy or vibrating machinery.

Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation. Keep away from direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the scales in water.

Do not place near open windows, air-conditioning vents or fans that may cause a draft and unstable readings.

Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the scale / balance when it is not in use.

Avoid operating in high static areas, or weighing high static materials, such as plastics or powders, as this may damage electronics and affect measurements. Use grounding mats or bonding straps to reduce

4.0 BASIC OPERATION

4.1 TURNING ON THE SCALE

Plug in the unit using the DC adapter or use batteries. Do not use battery power and the DC adapter at the same time.

1) To turn on press the [on/off] key once and release. All of the segments on the display will light up, then the display shows zero >0<

2) The scale is ready to be used.

3) To turn the scale off after use press the [on/off] key again. There is an

auto power-off function that will automatically turn the unit off after 4 min of inactivity or no change in the weight reading.

4.2 ZEROING

/ TARE

You can press the [Tare] key to set a new zero point and show the zero reading if the weight reading is less than 4% of the total of the maximum capacity of the scale. This may be necessary if the weight is not reading zero with nothing on

the platform. The zero indicators will light up: >0<.

If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and press the [Tare] key, providing the container weight is more than 4% of the maximum capacity of the scale, the display will show zero and tare indicator will light up. You can then weigh your object in the container. Taring weight subtracts from the total scale capacity.

Note: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container, this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products which were removed.

4.3 WEIGHING

To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container (if used), then place the sample in the container. The display will show the weight and the unit of weight currently in use.

5.0 FUNCTIONS

5.1 AUTO POWER OFF

The auto power off helps conserve power when using on battery or the DC adapter, the machine will automatically turn off after 4 min of inactive use or no change in the displayed weight.

6.0 CALIBRATION

Before calibrating the Dune series it is best to turn on the unit for about 1 min to let the components warm up.

1) Press [on/off] key to turn the power on, if it is not already.

2) Press and hold the [Unit] key, until “CAL” is displayed

3) Remove any weight from the pan.

4) Press the [Unit] key, the display will flash “CAL” them will show the cal

mass required. If the cal mass is not displayed then the machine is not stable or is not within a zero range. Turn off the unit and try zeroing the display before trying another calibration.

5) Place the appropriate calibration mass on the scale:

6) After the stable reading the display will show “PASS” then revert to the
