SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. INTRODUCTION:

The Ultegra™ Bench Scale is a USB powered unit with a capacity of 150 lbs and is
constructed of ABS composite material. The scale may be placed on a desk, bench, or
used with an 'Insert' adapter to countersink into a counter-top. Units may be ordered with a
ball roller-deck surface.

1.2. DESCRIPTION:

This unit can be powered from any PC that is compliant with version USB

1.1 or later. This includes external hubs, either bus powered or self powered. The scale is

identified by a PC as a human interface device (HID) and operates with Windows 2000,

Windows XP or later. It also can be powered from a 5VDC AC adapter. A USB port is not

required when powered from an AC adapter.

SECTION 2: SETUP

2.1. INSTALLING:

1. Remove the scale from the packing box and place on a flat surface where it

will be used.

2. Using the level bubble, adjust one or two feet minimally to level the platform. Do

NOT adjust all four (4) feet.

3. For counter installation, install kit 21100 using the drawing. The suggested cut-out

size is 15 ¼" x 15 ¼".

2.2. CONNECTIONS:

1. USB - To use the USB interface, plug the included six foot (6') USB cable into the

scale base where marked output 1. Connect the other end into a USB port on your

computer or USB hub. See figure below.

2. REMOTE DISPLAY - To use a remote display, plug the remote display into the

connector on the scale base where marked remote display. Mount the remote

using 2 screws or use a velcro strip (not included). A stand PN 20301, can also be

used.

3. AC ADAPTER - To use an AC adapter, plug the barrel plug into the back of the

scale where marked optional power, and the AC adapter unit into a proper outlet.

Check the AC receptacle for proper voltages prior to plugging in the adapter.

4. Check with your freight provider for compatible computer software.

Sec ti on 2: Set up

2.3. COMPUTER CONNECTIONS:

1. USB setup: The USB port will only function with a computer utilizing Windows

2000, Windows XP, or higher operating system. When the scale-connected USB

cable is interfaced to a computer’s USB port or USB hub, the computer will prompt

a device has been found and it will automatically install the driver.

2.4. GRAVITY USE COMPENSATION SETTING

The SCB-R9000-14U has a gravity use compensation setting which must be set based upon

the geographical zone in which the scale is being installed.

Access this setting by pressing the Program button. The button is located looking at the
front of the scale inside the right rear portion of the scale. An access cover must be
removed.

1. The display will show GrU x. This is the Gravity Use Zone. Select the proper

zone number for your location. Use the [UNITS] key to toggle to the selection. The

choices are:

-8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

SECTION 3: USING THE SCALE

3.1. POWER- ON:

Because the scale uses special low-power circuitry, no warm-up time is required. Weight

readings will be accurate as soon as the unit is powered on and set to zero.

When the unit is powered, the liquid crystal display (LCD) will show the software part

number and the revision followed by either "0.00", or "------". Dashes are displayed to

indicate the scale is registering a weight upon startup. Press the [ZERO] key to set the

display to “0.00” and start weighing.

3.2. KEYS:

The keys for operating the scale are located on the main display and on the remote

display.

1. Pressing the [ZERO] key resets the display to indicate zero (0).

a. The zero range is set at 2% or 3.00 lbs when set for Canadian use

b. The zero range is set at 100 % or 150 lbs when set for USA use

2. The [ZERO] key function will be inhibited if the instrument detects any of the

following conditions:

a. Motion on the platform

b. An underload condition

c. An overload condition

d. Outside of programmed zero range

3. Pressing the [UNITS] key toggles the weighing units and the display 'indicators'

between "lb" to "kg". Verify the units you want to use by noting the arrow 'indicator'

on the display.

3.3. WEIGHING:

1. With the platform empty, press the [ZERO] key. The display will indicate zero

Note: The “C “ to the left of the “0.00” indicates true center of zero.

2. Check that the correct units are indicated; press the [UNITS] key to change to "lb"

or "kg".

3. Place the item to be weighed centered on the platform.

4. Read the Gross weight from the display.

APPENDIX I: USB OPERATION

A. OVERVIEW:

:

The Ultegra™ Bench Scale is a low power, full speed device. A low power USB

device draws less than 100mA. A full speed device operates at 12Mbits/s. It uses

default Windows drivers and is installed automatically upon first connection with a PC.

The maximum USB cable length is 5 meters unless a self powered hub is used to

extend the cable length.

When a PC goes into standby mode the scale is forced into a low power mode to

comply with USB specifications. At this time the scale displays “SLEEP “, which

remains until the PC resumes normal operation.

The device is displayed at the following location in Windows: Control Panel -->

System --> Hardware --> Device Manager There are two items displayed for the

unit, HID-compliant device and USB Human Interface Device.

The scale sends data to the PC using a Point of Sale (POS) format. A typical USB

report includes scale status, units and weight.
