IntroductionRanger RP

Scales with a built-in battery can work independently from the mains for approxi­mately 30 hours in normal operation. A prerequisite for this is that the background
lighting is switched off and that no peripheral devices are connected.

The device automatically switches to battery operation as soon as the mains supply
is

interrupted. When the mains supply is restored, the device automatically switches

back to mains operation.

The

battery symbol indicates the present charging level of the battery. 1 segment cor-

res

ponds to approx. 25 % capacity. When the symbol flashes the battery must be

rged (min. 4 hours). The charging period is extended if work is continued during

cha

rging. The battery is protected against overcharging.

cha

e The battery’s charging capacity can be reduced under continuous mains operation.

Not

To maintain the charging capacity, after a maximum of 4 weeks discharge the bat-

completely before recharging it.

used tare values, average piece weights, target weights and target quantities.
In the factory setting, the memory locations 91 to 100 are reserved for target quanti­tie

s. The saved target quantities are also preserved when the scale is switched off.

.1 Saving target quantities

1. Enter the memory location number (factory setting: 91 ... 100) and keep Mem
pressed until the confirmation tARGEt appears in the display.

2. Enter the target quantity and confirm with Yes.

The display tOLEr appears and + flashes.

3. Enter the upper tolerance in pieces and confirm with Yes.

8.3 Table of Geo Values

For weighing instruments verified at the manufacturer’s, the geo value indicates the
country or geographical zone for which the instrument is verified. The geo value set in
the instrument (e.g."Geo 18") appears briefly after switch-on or is specified on a label.

Table GEO VALUES 3000e shows the geo values for European countries.

Table GEO VALUES 6000e/7500e shows the geo values for different gravitation
