■ DISPLAY
WEIGHT DISPLAY:Displays weight or messages (5 Digit).
ZERO LAMP:Indicates that scale is stable and at zero.
NET LAMP:Indicates that scale is currently using a tare.
HOLD LAMP:Indicates that the HOLD function is activated.

LOW BATTERY LAMP:Indicates that voltage of battery low and should be changed soon.

■ KEY FUNCTIONS

KEYS FUNCTIONS

Used to reset the scale zero or enter the AP mode

Used to activate tare function and to clear tare entry

Used to turn the scale ON / OFF or used to released from
AP/HL mode

Used to weigh unstable things (livestock, liquid, etc.) or used to
store the set value in ‘AP/HL’ mode

Used to increase the set value in ‘AP/HL’ mode

4. BATTERY USAGE

(1). CASTON-II

■ Couple connector in main body with connector in battery portion.

■ Insert battery portion to the main body and turn fixing bolt to the right to fix.

■ If the battery is neglected for a long time or not use without charging,

it may effect on battery life. (recommended charging period : once a month)

■ To prevent battery discharge, CASTON-II is disconnected with the battery.

■ Please connect the battery to use after opening the product as shown above.

12

(2). CASTON-III

■ Open the battery lid located in back of the scale and turn main switch off.

■ Separate the battery connector and take out the discharged battery.

■ Put a charged battery in rear and connect the battery connector.

Turn main power switch on and cover the battery lid.

■ The drop of battery voltage can affect the brightness of display.
To prevent this, the regular battery recharging is recommended.

■ In case the battery will be left without recharging for a long time, it is desirable
the main power switch is set off. Otherwise, it also can affect the battery life.

■ LED display will be on and then, it will show from 00000 to 99999 continuously

2. POWER OFF

■ Press ON/OFF key

■ LED display will show off message and then power turns off

3. ZERO FUNCTION

■ Used to correct drifted zero value when the scale is unloaded motion is not
detected

You can adjust the zero up to ±2% of the maximum capacity

■ The function does not work when weight is fluctuated ort unstable.

4. T ARE FUNCTION

■ Use tare function after removing the weighing material from container being used.

■ The function does not work when weight is fluctuated ort unstable.

■ The weight including TARE weight can't exceed the maximum capacity.

15

5. HOLD FUNCTION

There are three HOLD functions : Average / Manual / Peak Hold function
To use this function , must be check Hold-type of ‘HL’ mode.

■ Do Not Use Hold (HL -> 0)

- Do Not Use Hold.

■ Auto Hold (HL -> 1)

- Press the HOLD key before weighing an unstable item

- “AHold” will display and then, HOLD lamp is on.

- The averaged value of the weight fluctuation will be displayed after few seconds.

■ Peak Hold (HL -> 2)

- Press the HOLD key while checking peak value.

- “PHold” will display and then, peak value of the weight will be updated continuously
until HOLD function is released

■ Average Hold (HL ->3)

- Press the HOLD key while weighing an unstable item

- “Hold” will display and then the averaged value of the weight fluctuation will be

displayed after few seconds.

■ Release of Hold Functions

- Press the HOLD key while HOLD functions are activated

- Remove item on the hook.

- hdoFF will display and then, the scale return to normal weighing mode.
