3.1.3Connect Adaptor
l To charge the battery, insert the adaptor pin into to jack socket on
theunderside of the scale. Plug the power adaptor into the mains power.
l The scale will charge even when the scale is turned off.
l The scale should be charged for at least 12 hours to fully recharge its
battery.
l The CHARGE LED on the front of the scale will show the status of the
battery. When the scale is plugged into the mains power, the internal battery
will automatically start charging. If the LED is green, this means the battery
has a full charge. If the LED is red, the battery is nearly discharged and will
require charging. If the LED is yellow, the battery is being charged.
l Do not use any other type of power adaptor than the one supplied with the
scale.
l Verify that the AC power socket outlet is properly protected.
Charge the battery before using the scale for the first time.

If the weight display does not return to zero with no weight on the scale, the display can
easily be re-zeroed by pressing the ZERO key.
4.1.3Tare
When weighing produce on a tray, film or, container, the weight of any container can
easily be tared off, so you only see the Net weight of the produce being weighed.
1.Place the empty container to be tared off on the weighing pan and press the
TARE key.
2.To clear a tare weight, remove all weight from the weighing pan and press the
TARE key again. The display will return to Gross Zero and the NET
annunciator will turn off.
4.1.4Sample weighing
1.Place goods to be weighed on the weighing pan. Wait a few seconds for the
display to stabilize.
2.Read the result.
To avoid overloading, when ol appears, reduce the load or unload the weight from the
scale.
The display will tare off this weight and show a Net Zero weight on the
display with the NET annunciator illuminated.

Page 17
4.1.5Unit price setting
Manual entry of unit price
The unit price will be based off the unit of measure the scale is set up to work within.
This is calculated based off one of the following:
l Price per lb
l Price per kg
This is easily identified by the right-hand annunciator in the weight display area.
1.Make sure platform is empty and
the display is showing zero.
2.Place goods to be weighed on the
weighing pan. (e.g.1.5 lb)
3.Enter in the unit price by pressing
numeric keys. In this example
$5.00 is shown. Key in 500 or 5
followed by a decimal.
4.1.6Unit Price Memory
The PC3060 can store up to 10 unit price values. Price values can easily be selected
using the 0 to 9 numeric keys.
Saving a Unit Price to PLU memory
1.Make sure you are in the correct unit of measure before starting.
2.Use the numeric keys and enter in
the unit price per the selected unit
of measure. ($1.12 per lb in this
example)
This will now be displayed
in the UNIT PRICE display.
Total price will be
calculated automatically
and shown on the TOTAL

2.To recall PLU 1, press 1.
Display will now load the
stored unit price per the
selected unit of measure.
3.Place the item to be weighed on
the weighing pan and the PC3060
will automatically calculate the
total price based on the recalled
PLU unit price. See example at
right.
The PC3060 has the option to change the back light setting to help save battery life.

4.1.8Automatic Unit Price Clear
The PC3060 scale can be set to automatically clear the unit prices once the scale
returns to zero weight.
To activate the Automatic Unit Clear function, press and hold the SAVE key while
turning off the scale.
Now when a unit price is entered and used, once the weight display returns to Zero, the
unit price will automatically be cleared.
Backlight will be turned on, only at startup or
when a change in weight is seen on the scale.
Back light will go off after 5 seconds once the
weight becomes stable or at zero.
To turn off this feature, repeat this process.
4.1.9Units of Measure
Subject to the markets the PC3060 is to be used in, the UNITS key may be deactivated
so the unit of measure cannot be changed.
In the markets where lb and kg can legally be used, the UNITS key is active.
To change the unit of measure from lb to kg, make sure the scale is at zero. Press the
UNITS key to change weighing unit from lb to kg. The lb annunciator will go out and the
kg annunciator will illuminate.
4.1.10Accumulation function
The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing the M+ key.
To turn on the accumulation functions see the F11 RS232>mode>tpup parameter on
page 24.
Before entering parameters, press the calibration switch. Switch is located below the
scale and may only be accessed if the scale has not been sealed.
To use this feature, the scale needs to have a stable reading and be able to return to
zero; only accumulated weight over 20 divisions can be accumulated.
The values (price) displayed may be added to the accumulated values by pressing the
M+ key. The TOTAL PRICE display will show the total price for two seconds before
reverting to the next item.
PC3060 Price Computing Scale User Instructions19
Page 20
The scale must return to zero or a negative value before another sample can be stored.
Other products may be added by pressing the M+ key. It may take up to 99 entries or
until it reaches the maximum displayable digits.
To view the total price stored, press the M+ key when there is no weight on the scale.
The total will be displayed for two seconds.
To clear the memory, press the CLEAR key, , to clear all values.
