REQUIREMENTS FOR AN OPTIMUM INSTALLATION

To obtain maximum performance and best results, we recommend installing
the scale according to the following requirements:

• Work at temperatures between 15º and 40º C.

• Use the scale in environments with humidity lower than 85% HR.

COMPONENTS INCLUDED

TARE FUNCTION

This function allows obtaining the net weight of the product.

With display showing “0.0 g / 0 g”, place a container on the pan.

Press the

key. After few seconds, the display will come back to zero and
the indicator of Tara will appear. Place the product into container, the display
will show the product´s weight (net weight).

To return to normal weighing mode, remove the container from the pan and
press the

key, the display will come back to stand-by position “0.0 g / 0 g”.

CALIBRATION

The calibration must be effected in an environment free of vibrations and
drafts. You must have a proper calibration weight, with an error less than

0.1 g (we recommend using calibration weights Class M2 OIML R-111 or
superior).

The model AC-500 is calibrated with a weight of 500 g and the model AC-5000
with a weight of 5.000 g.

To calibrate the scale, please follow the following steps:

1. When the scale is Off, press

key to start the scale.

2. During initialisation, while the display shows “8888”, press

key four

8

times, at the fourth time hold the key until the display shows an internal
code “XXXX”.

3. Press again

key and the display will show “CAL”, then it will show

5000 or 500 (depending on the model).

4. Place a calibration weight of either 500g or 5000g on the weighing pan.

5. Once the display shows “PASS”, the scale will be calibrated and ready to use.

UNIT WEIGHTS

To weight in OZ units, press the key. To change it to grams unit, press
again the

key.

AUTO POWER-OFF

This scale has an auto-power system to prolong the batteries life. Activating
this function, the scale will auto-turn off after two minutes without being
