designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing
equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus", ICES-003 of the department
of communications.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques
applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme
sur le matériel brouilleur: "Appareils Numériques", NMB-003 édictée par le
ministre des communications.
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.

DESCRIPTION
Calibration masses are not supplied with 1200, 4000 or 6000g uints
ScoutII balances are precision weighing instruments, designed to provide years
of service. Features include front panel controls, simplified menu, automatic shutoff, multiple weighing units, parts counting and a weigh below hook. A total of ten
models are available with full capacity ranges of 200g to 6000g. Five of the
models are available with RS232 communications for operation with external
computers or printers. The balance can be operated by a 9 V olt battery or with the
AC Adapter supplied. High capacity model is shown below.

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.

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.

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.

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, momentar ily 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.
