2 INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking
Unpack and verify that the following components have been included:
; EC Scale ; Weighing Platform (plastic base with stainless steel pan) ; Instruction Manual ; AC Adapter
Save the packaging material. This packaging ensures the best possible protection for the storage or transport of the product.
2.2 Installing Components
Position the weighing platform pins into the through-holes on the top housing, then set the platform securely into place. Secure the in-use cover with double-sided tape as needed.
IMPORTANT:
; BEFORE USING THE SCALE, REMOVE THE SHIPPING PROTECTION SCREW
located underneath the scale. This screw ensures protection of the load cell during transport, but will need to be removed for the scale to operate properly.
; It is recommended that the protective screw be re-installed if transporting the
scale. Do not over-tighten the protective screw as it may damage the load cell. To re-install, turn the scale on and place a 500g weight on the pan, then slowly screw in the protection screw until the display shows a value between 250g to 400g.
2.3 Selecting the Location
Operate the scale on a firm, level surface. Avoid locations with rapid temperature changes, excessive dust, moisture, air currents, vibrations, electromagnetic fields, heat or direct sunlight.
2.4 Leveling the Scale
Adjust the leveling feet until the bubble is centeredin the circle of the level indicator (located on the front panel).
NOTE: Ensure that the scale is level each time its location is changed.
EN-4 EC Series
2.5 Connecting Power
2.5.1 AC Power
Verify that the intended AC power source matches the AC adapter rating. Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power input receptacle underneath the scale. Plug the AC adapter into a properly grounded power outlet.
2.5.2 Battery Power
The battery will begin charging with the AC adapter connected accordingly. An LED indicator below and to the right of the Count window shows the status of battery charging:
• Green battery is fully charged
• Yellow – battery is partially charged and charging
• Red battery is nearly discharged
When AC power is not available, the scale will operate on the internal rechargeable battery. The scale will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. Low battery charge is indicated by the
annunciator (the scale will operate for approximately 10 hours more before
automatically switching off).
Before using the scale for the first time, the internal rechargeable battery should be fully charged for up to 12 hours. A fully charged battery can operate the scale for approximately 80 hours independent of AC power. The scale can be operated during the charging process. The battery is protected against overcharging and the scale can remain connected to the AC power line.
NOTES:
; The battery must be recharged every 3 months if the scale is not used for a long
time.
; Dispose of the lead acid battery according to local laws and regulations
CAUTION
BATTERY IS TO BE REPLACED ONLY BY AN AUTHORIZED OHAUS SERVICE DEALER. RISK OF EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR IF REPLACED WITH THE WRONG TYPE OR CONNECTED IMPROPERLY
2.6 Initial Calibration
When the scale is operated for the first time, a Span Calibration is recommended to ensure accurate weighing results. Before performing the calibration, be sure to have the appropriate calibration weights.
Refer to
Section 6
for Span Calibration procedures.

2.5 Conexión a la red eléctrica
2.5.1 Alimentación CA
Verifique que la fuente de alimentación eléctrica CA coincide con la clasificación del adaptador CA. Conecte el adaptador CA suministrado a la toma de alimentación debajo de la báscula. Conecte el adaptador CA al tomacorriente con una puesta a tierra adecuada.
2.5.2 Alimentación con baterías
La batería comenzará a cargarse con el adaptador de CA conectado. Un indicador LED en la parte inferior derecha de la ventana de Recuento muestra el estado de carga de la batería:
• Verde la batería está cargada completamente
• Amarillo la batería esta parcialmente cargada y está cargándose
• Rojo la batería está casi agotada
Cuando la alimentación CA no está disponible, la báscula operará con la batería recargable interna. La báscula cambiará automáticamente a la operación con baterías si existe una falla en el suministro eléctrico o si se desconecta el cable de alimentación. La carga baja de la batería es indicada por el anunciador (la báscula operará durante aproximadamente 10 horas más antes de apagarse automáticamente).
Antes de utilizar la báscula por primera vez, la batería recargable interna debe cargarse completamente hasta por 12 horas. Una batería cargada completamente puede operar la báscula durante aproximadamente 80 horas independiente de la alimentación CA. La báscula puede operar durante el proceso de carga. La batería está protegida contra la sobrecarga y la báscula puede permanecer conectada a la línea de alimentación CA.
NOTAS:
; La batería debe recargarse cada 3 meses si la báscula no es utilizada durante
un periodo prolongado.
; Deseche de la batería ácida de plomo de acuerdo con las leyes y reglamentos
locales.
PRECAUCIÓN
