Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment are not permitted.
This device corresponds to requirements stipulated in 73/23/EEC and features radio interference suppression in compliance with valid EC Regulation 89/336/EEC. Note: The displayed value may be adversely
affected under extreme electromagnetic influences, eg. when using a radio unit in the immediate vicinity of the device. Once the interference has been rectified, the product can once again be used for its intended purpose.
Cet appareil correspond aux exigences selon la norme 73/23/CEE et est déparasité conformément à la directive de la CE 89/336/CEE en vigueur. Remarque: Dans des conditions d’influences électromagnétiques extrêmes, par exemple en cas d’exploitation d’un appareil radio à proximité immédiate de I’appareil la valeur d’affichage risque d’être influencée. Une fois que l’influence parasite est terminée, le produit peut être de nouveau utilisé de manière conforme aux prescriptions.
Dieses Gerät entspricht den Anforderungen nach 73/23/EWG und ist funkentstört entsprechend der geltenden EG-Richtlinie 89/336/EWG. Hinweis: Unter extremen elektromagnetischen Einflüssen z.B. bei Betreiben eines Funkgerätes in unmittelbarer Nähe des Gerätes kann eine Beeinflussung des Anzeigewertes verursacht werden. Nach Ende des Störeinflusses ist das Produkt wieder bestimmungsgemäss benutzbar.

(Stored in battery cover) |
1.Carefully unpack the balance, verify that all items are on hand. Save the packing material for transporting the balance.
2.Remove the retaining band and cardboard insert from the pan support. * Calibration masses are not supplied with 1200g and 6000g balances.

INSTALLATION
For best performance, the balance should be used in a clean, stable environment. Do not use the balance in environments with excessive drafts, near magnetic fields or equipment that generates magnetic fields, rapid temperature changes, vibrations or corrosive vapors.
Power
Connect the AC Adapter at the rear of the balance. For portable operation, install a 9 V battery in the battery compartment as shown in the illustration.

INSTALLATION (Cont.)
Weigh Below Hook
For below balance weighing applications (eg. density determination), the weigh below hook may be installed at the bottom of the balance as shown.
Do not over tighten the screw, tighten finger tight. Place the balance on a suitable stand which will allow below balance weighing.

Security Bracket
A security bracket is provided at the rear of the balance which allows the balance to be secured by the optional cable and lock accessory.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ScoutII balances are sensitive, precision devices and when shipped, occasionally require calibration before they are used. The balances are calibrated at the factory and due to rough handling and vibration during shipping, the balance may display an ERR1 or ERR4 when first turned on.
This does not mean that the balance is defective. We recommend you perform span calibration for an ERR1 indication and linear calibration for ERR4 before you call for service. If the balance does not span calibrate, try linear calibration.
Linear calibration requires two masses to be used. The 200g, 400g and 600g balances are shipped with one mass, you will require a second mass which can be ordered from Ohaus. 1200g and 6000g balances are not shipped with masses. Refer to the accessory table at the rear of the manual for the required calibration masses.
Review the Menu and then perform both Span and Linear calibration. Span calibration does not require entering the Menu. Linear calibration (LIN) does require entering the Menu.
In the event the balance fails to operate properly, please call Ohaus Corporation toll-free at (800) 526-0659 for service or parts.

TURNING THE BALANCE OFF
To turn the balance OFF, press and hold Mode Off until the display indicates OFF, then release.
WEIGHING
The balance is shipped from the factory ready to weigh in g, oz, oz t, dwt and lb.
1.Select the desired weighing unit by momentarily pressing Mode Off.
2.If it is necessary to rezero the display, momentarily press Zero On.
3.Place item(s) to be weighed on the pan and read the weight on the display. The stability indicator * appears when the reading is stable.
TARING
When weighing items that must be held in a container, taring subtracts the container's weight from the total weight on the pan. Remember, the weight of the container and the material it holds must not exceed the capacity of the balance.
1.With an empty container on the pan, press Zero On to zero the display.
2.As material is added to the container, the net weight is displayed. Tared weight remains in balance memory until Zero On is pressed again.
3.If the container is no longer used and is removed from the balance, the display indicates a negative weight which was the container’s weight. Press Zero On to zero the display.

MENU DESCRIPTION
The User Menu permits you to activate the Auto Shut-off feature, select weighing units, select parts counting, select printing parameters on RS232 equipped models and perform Linearity calibration and store settings. Bolded items shown in the menu are factory default settings. Each menu item is covered in a separate procedure in this manual, to enter an individual menu item and select it requires alternating between the Mode Off and Zero On buttons.
To enter the menu, start with the balance OFF, press and hold Zero On until
MENU is displayed, then release it. The first menu item A. OFF (automatic
shutoff) is displayed. Refer to the individual procedures to select and enable
menu items.
