PRECAUTIONS WARNING

Precautions when installing the scale. To ensure that you get the most from your scale,
please follow these instruction.

Make sure to plug your scale into the proper power outlet. For maximum performance,
plug into a power outlet 30 minutes before the usage for warm up.

Do not disassemble the scale.
When any damage or defect occurs,
contact your CAS
authorized dealer
immediately for
proper repair.

Do not overload beyond the maximum
weight limit.

Do not pull the plug by its cord when
unplugging. Damaged cord could cause
electric shock or fire.

To prevent from fire occurring, Do not
place or use the scale near flammable or
corrosive gas.

Avoid placing the scale near heater
or in direct sunlight.

Scale must be grounded to minimize
electricity static. This will minimize
defect or electric shock.

Insert plug firmly to wall outlet to
prevent electric shock.

To reduce electric shock or incorrect
reading, Do not spill water on the scale
or place it in humid condition.

Warning

For consistent and accurate reading,
maintain periodical check by your
CAS authorized dealer.

Avoid sudden shock to the scale.
Internal mechanism could be damaged.

Place the scale on firm and temperature
consistent environment.

Take the battery out when scale is not in
use for long time. Leakage from the
batteries is hazardous.

Keep the scale away from other
electromagnetic generating devices.
This may interfere with accurate
reading.

Grab on the bottom of the scale when
moving. Do not hold by the platter.

Attention

By adjusting 4 corners of the scale, set
the scale even using the built in scale
leveling indicator.

Note: This scale uses a rechargeable battery to retain programmed information. While the scale is ON or in use it keeps the battery
charged. The battery must be fully charged before turning power OFF or memory contents can be lost. It takes approximately 48
hours to fully charge the battery from complete discharge. Even though the scale’s battery will most likely not be completely
discharged when you receive the scale, you should still charge it for 48 hours. Once fully charged, the battery can retain
programmed information for at least 6 months with power OFF. To ensure memory contents do one of the following:
Leave power ON for at least 2 days before programming.
OR
Do not turn OFF power for at least 2 days after programming.

1. Installation Procedures

1.1 Cautions

A) Environment : This scale must be installed in a dry and liquid free environment.

B) Location : This scale must be placed on a flat and stable surface. Please keep the scale

away from oscillating fans, ventilation systems, or drafts as these air disturbances can be
picked-up by the scale and may cause incorrect weight readings.

C) Leveling : If the scale is not properly level, please adjust the 4 legs at the bottom of the

scale (turn legs clockwise or counter-clockwise) so as to center the bubble of the leveling
gauge inside the indicated circle. (See below Fig.)

D) The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

E) Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or

equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer instructions.

1.2 Assembling the Display Pole

If your scale is the “Pole” type then you must follow this section and then continue to the
next. However, if your scale is the “Non-Pole” type then you may skip this section and go on
to the next. To begin installing the Pole display, make sure your scale comes with the display
bracket & the pole display. (See below fig.)

LEVELING GAUGE

NOTE : Scale is to be used in-doors ONLY

Feed the pole display connectors down the display bracket and up through the hole in the
scale under-body. Attach the bracket cover to the display pole and then attach the bracket
cover to the bracket itself.(See below fig.)

Remove the platter from the platform. Open the printer side cover and then remove the three
rear cover screws. Feed the connectors in through the printer bay into the scale. (See below fig.)

2.3. Displays

2.3.1 Weight Display

The WEIGHT display shows the weight of an item on the platter whether it be positive or
negative and within the range of the scale. The WEIGHT display also indicates if the scale is
at ZERO or if there is a tare entered into the scale by way of a ZERO and NET lamps.

2.3.2 Unit Price Display

The UNIT PRICE display shows the price per pound of an item to be weighed. It also
indicates whether the SAVE function is active by way to the indicator lamp. The UNIT
PRICE display, in program mode only, indicates the condition of the SHIFT lamp. If the
SHIFT lamp is OFF, you can type in capital letters, but if the SHIFT lamp is ON, you can
only type lowercase letters. Finally, the UNIT PRICE display also indicates if the scale is in
AUTO mode by way of an indicator lamp.

2.3.3 Total Price Display

The TOTAL PRICE display shows the unit price multiplied by the weight to give the total
price.

2.4. Printer Mechanism

It is very important that you be familiar with the printer mechanism. Every time your labels
run out you will be required to install the label roll and you will need to know the general
parts of the printer.

Front View: (With Printer Front Cover removed)

LABEL PEEL SENSOR : This sensor is used in conjunction with IR LED to detect if there is a

printed label waiting to be taken.

THERMAL PRINTHEAD : The Thermal Printhead is the part that does the actual printing. The
printhead is VERY sensitive! Please keep water and other liquids AWAY from the printhead.
DO NOT TOUCH the underside of the printhead. If labels become jammed and stuck to the
printhead, please call a qualified CAS Dealer to solve this problem. When finished installing
labels, it is necessary to push down on the TOP of the printhead to lock it in place.

RED RUBBER ROLLER : This is the part that the printhead press the labels against in order to
print. Please do not scratch or harm in any way this roller. Any damage to the roller can result in
bad print or lower quality print.

PEEL-OFF BAR : This part causes the labels to peel-off their backing paper when the paper slides
over it. Always install the labels OVER the Peel-Off Bar.

IR LED : This part is used in conjunction with the Label Peel Sensor to detect if there is a printed
label waiting to be taken. (Infra-Red Light Emiting Diode)

NOTE : Always replace the Printer Side Cover and the Printer Front Cover to ensure proper
operation of the scale. Failure to do so can result in printer failure. Also, failure to comply with
any or all of the guidelines for proper maintenance can adversely affect your scales warrantee.
