INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Before beginning installation of your C Series Digital Counting Scale, make certain the scale
has been received in good condition. Carefully remove the scale from the shipping carton
and inspect it for any evidence of damage (su c h as exterior dents or scratches) that m ay
have taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing material for return
shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all
claims for any damages or loss incurred during transit.
Placement
Place the scale on a stable, vibration-f r ee level sur face away from direct sunlight and from
any rapidly moving air source (heating/cooling ven ts, fans, etc.). Make certain the powe r
cord and peripheral cables are routed out of the way of normal traffic.
CAUTION! DO NOT place the scale on any unstable cart, stand or t able. The
scale may fall causing injury to the operator, a nd seriously damage the unit,
or proper operation of the scale may be inhibited.
Level Adjustment
Check to make certain the scale is level. The level indicator is
located at the front of the scale. If the scale is not level (the bubble
will not be centered), loosen the locking ring on all four ( 4) mo un ting
feet and adjust them as required to cent er the bubble and attain a
level scale. Once a level condition has been obt ain ed , lock the
mounting feet in place by tightening the adjust m en t locking ri ng s
against the bottom of the scale.
Power Connection
The scale contains a power supply that conver ts the 110/120/220/240 VAC 50/60Hz wall
supply to the power required by the scale circuitry. The power supply also contains the
circuitry necessary to monitor and rechar ge the battery and is capable of operating the sca le
and recharging the battery simultaneously.
AC Operation
Plug the power cord into a grounded, polariz ed wall r ecep tacle that supplies 110/120 VAC
50/60Hz power. If it is necessary to use an extension co r d, make cert ain it is a 3-wire, fully
grounded type using a minimum of 18-gauge wire. Be certain the power cord is rout ed out
of the way of normal traffic. If only an ung r ou nde d wall re cep tacle is available, it is the
customer's responsibility to contact a qualifie d electrician to replace the ungrounded
receptacle with a properly grounded polarized wall recep tacle or have a grounding adapter
properly installed.
WARNING! To avoid electrical hazard, DO NOT under any circumstances,
cut, remove, alter, or in any way bypass the power cord-grounding prong.
It is the responsibility of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper power cord connector. Plug th e power cord into a grounded, polarized wa ll
receptacle that supplies 220/240 VAC 50/60Hz power. Be certain the power cord is routed
out of the way of normal traffic.

PRECAUTIONS
Most scales are designed for an office type environment. The C Series Digital Counting
Scale is no exception to that rule. The following should be used as a guideline for the
proper environment to operate you r scale:
The environment should be free of excessive dust and moisture.
Provide a comfortable temperature. In general, the scale will perform well over a
temperature range of 32 to 104° F (0 to +40° C).
To keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the scale should be placed out of direct
sunlight and to provide adequate air circulation, keep the area around the scale clear.
Make certain the scale is not directly in front of a heatin g or co oling vent . Such a location
will subject the scale to sudden temperature changes and air currents that may resu lt in
unstable weight readings.
Insure that the scale has good, clean AC power and is properly gro un ded . In areas
subject to lightning strikes, additio na l pr otection to minimize lightning damage, such as
surge suppressors, should be installed.
CARE AND CLEANING
1. DO NOT submerge the scale in water, pour or spray water directly on it.
2. DO NOT use acetone, thinner or other volat ile solvent s for cleaning.
3. DO clean the indicator with a damp soft cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent .
4. DO remove power before cleaning with a damp cloth.
5. DO clean and store the scale in a plastic bag (in a dry environment) if the sca le is not
going to be used for some time. A desiccant packet may be included to pr e ven t moisture
build up.
6. DO recharge the internal battery every three months while in storage.
