Weighing
Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum
static weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more information regarding the topic:

section of this manual.
Proper Weighing Technique, refer to the Opera-
Rated Weight Capacity
The scale’s operational weight capacity is:
• 30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments
OR
• 15.000 kilograms
1
, displayed in 0.005 increments.
Minimum Increment
The minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.02
lb. (0.005 kg).
Maximum Static Weight (Overload)
A maximum static weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) can be sustained by the
scale without incurring damage or degrading performance.
Automatic Zero Maintenance
The scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as
long as the deviation is within acceptable limits
any debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automatically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Additionally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Push
Button located on the top of the vertical enclosure.

, while compensating for
1. The scale can also be set for 9.99 kg max.
2. Acceptable limitis of deviation are set at -0.2 to +0.6 pounds (-0.078kg to 0.23kg), which is -0.67 to
+2.0% of total capacity.
Product Reference Guide 1-7
Warm-Up Time
There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanner or scanning-scale:
The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducing
the total required warm-up time to 60 minutes.
NOTE
Thermal Equilibrium
When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area)
to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutes
must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to calibration or operation.
Power-up
Once installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must be
allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.
User Configurable Warm-up
The user may configure the unit for a pre-programmed warm-up time
that is activated every time the scanner is powered up. During this time,
the scale is viewed by the POS terminal as off-line.

Electrical Specifications
Product Reference Guide 1-9
Before installation, always verify that the site’s electrical service meets the
scanning-scale’s requirements. The scanner has been engineered for compatibility with most international electrical systems operating in ranges
from 100 to 240VAC at 50-60 Hz. Verify that the power source will supply “clean” electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free of
excess electrical noise.
Check the IEC power cord shipped with the scanning-scale. If the cord
will not plug into your AC power receptacle, the power cord shipped is
not compatible with your electrical system. Please contact your distributor
immediately to receive the necessary information and components to
ensure electrical compatibility.
Power Supply
The scanner utilizes a single power supply for all models. Unique installation and international connections are accomplished through selection of
the proper IEC power cord
VOLTAGE FREQUENCY CURRENT (RMS) PART NUMBER
100-240VAC ±10% 50-60 Hz 0.5 Amps @ 100V 8-0761
Safe operation of your scanner or scanning-scale requires properly grounded
electrical outlets. Be sure to have a qualified electrician certify the earth-

Laser and Product Safety
Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1
(2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser
Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:
• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than
cleaning of the scan windows is required.
• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa
laser product. The system uses two embedded Class 3B Visible
Laser Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in an
opto-mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated
power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10
seconds. Maximum emitted peak output power at the lower window is 850µW. No attempt should be made by the user to remove
the protective housing of the scanning-scale.
• Laser Light Viewing. The horizontal and vertical scan windows
are the only apertures through which laser light may be observed
in this product.
Exposure to the light emitted from the scan windows has been shown not
to be harmful. The safety record of barcode scanning is perfect after millions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser technology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world.
Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions
and warnings:
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard. (Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magnifying
glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).
CAUTION
To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of the
scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your scanner or scanningscale.
Product Reference Guide 1-11
CAUTION
WARNING
Safety precautions to be taken:
No adjustments or alteration of the scanner or scanning-scale housing are to be
attempted by the user.
The failure of the facet wheel motor while the unit is continuing to emit a laser
beam causes the emission levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation.
The unit has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary
laser beam is ever emitted, the failing unit should be disconnected from its
power supply until repaired by a qualified technician.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his or her own expense.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Reglement sur le material broilleur du Canada.
