This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against 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 instructions manual, may cause interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
To meet Class A limits, the user must observe the following requirements:
1.Only factory approved cables may be used to connect this digital device with any peripherals.
2.Only factory approved peripherals may be connected to this digital device.
3.Any changes or modifications to the equipment, unless expressly approved by the manufacturer, could void the FCC's permission to operate the equipment.
Verification of weight should be done routinely by placing a known weight on the platter and checking the displayed weight. If the scale does not function as described in this manual, contact your local Hobart Service Office for re-calibration, service, or repair.

WARNING: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING. |
Security Plate |
|
Clean the cover and weighing platter by wiping with
a dry or lightly moistened cloth. The stainless steel platter can be removed (by lifting straight up) and washed in a sink with mild detergent and warm

INSTALLATION
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If this unit is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
The Security Plate is available and can be used by Weights and Measures after calibration to seal the scale if they use a lead-wire type seal.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Connect the wall-mount adapter plug to a 120 V, 60 Hz, 1 ph electrical outlet. The adapter converts to 12 Volts DC, .8 Amp, required for the scale to operate. Alternatively, a Vehicle Adapter with 20 foot cord is available and allows connection to the cigarette lighter on any car or truck having a 12 Volt DC electrical system. With either voltage source, connect the small round 12 Volt DC connector to the mating terminal on the left side of the scale.
LEVELING THE SCALE
Level the scale by turning the feet in or out until the bubble indicator is centered. A Locking Nut, provided on the threaded shaft of each foot, allows the level adjustment to be locked-in.
DISCONNECTION AND POWER-UP
If the scale is disconnected, the accumulator total and any displayed values will be lost. When powerup occurs, the scale will resume in MISCELLANEOUS PLU MODE. Disconnection and powerup will always retain the programmed values of the 30 PLUs saved during a previous PLU EDIT MODE.

For By Count Pricing, set how many pieces (1 – 99) are being sold for the price.
For By Weight pricing, enter the tare value to be subtracted from the weight.
Enter the price (up to 999.99).
Add the total price to the Accumulated Total. Net Weight must be greater than twice the increment or division size. [Initial versions of AmeriScale will not accommodate connection of a peripheral printer. Future upgrades/options may permit an optional peripheral printer, which, if connected, would print the total price of the item.]
Clear various values depending on when it is pressed.
For Multiple Pounds pricing, set how many pounds (1 – 9) are being sold for the price. [ If configured for metric weighing and enabled, the item is priced for 100 grams instead of 1 kg.]
Prepack/Date locks-in current pricing and allows several items with the same price to be weighed and priced. Totals can be accumulated. Prepack can only be activated when a unit price is displayed. Press Clear CE to exit Prepack and return pricing values to zero.
Set the scale to zero weight.
Display the Accumulated Total (Packages and Total Price)*. [Initial versions of AmeriScale will not accommodate connection of a peripheral printer. Future upgrades/ options may permit an optional peripheral printer, which, if connected, would print the Accumulated Total.]
