Important notice for verified weighing instruments

Weighing Instruments verified at the place of manufacture bear one of the preceding mark on the packing label and the green ‘M’ (metrology) sticker on the descriptive plate. They may be put into service immediately.

Weighing Instruments to be verified in two stages have no green ‘M’ (metrology) on the descriptive plate and bear one of the preceding identification mark on the packing label. The second stage of the initial verification must be carried out by the approved service organization of the authorized representative within the EC or by the national weight &

measures (W+M) authorities. The first stage of the initial verification has been carried out at the manufacturers work. It comprises all tests according to the adopted European standard EN 45501:1992, paragraph 8.2.2.

If national regulations limit the validity period of the verification, the user of the weighing instrument must strictly observe the re-verification period and inform the respective W+M authorities.

Notificación importante para instrumentos de pesaje verificados

Los instrumentos de pesaje verificados en el sitio de fabricación llevan una de las marcas precedentes en el rótulo del

empaque y la etiqueta de la ‘M’ verde (metrología) en la placa descriptiva. Estos instrumentos se pueden poner en

funcionamiento inmediatamente.

Los instrumentos de pesaje a ser verificados en dos etapas no tienen ninguna ‘M’ verde (metrología) en la placa

descriptiva, y presentan una de las marcas de identificación precedentes sobre el rótulo del empaque. La segunda

etapa de la verificación inicial debe ser llevada a cabo por la organización de servicio aprobada del representante

2.2 Selecting the Location

The Scale should be used in an environment which is free from corrosives, vibration or temperature extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight readings. The Scale should be located on a stable level surface and kept away from vibrating sources such as large machinery. Maximum accuracy will be achieved when the area is clean and vibration free.

2.3 Connecting Power

2.3.1 Battery Installation

Remove battery cover and insert 6 Alkaline C-type batteries into the battery holder making sure that the batteries are properly orientated (correct polarity).

NOTE: It is recommended that when the Trooper Scale is operated from batteries, the Auto-Off Timer feature be turned

on to extend battery life. When setting up the Scale, refer to Intial Setup, Readout menu, paragraph 4.4.4.

2. INSTALLATION (Cont.)

2.3.3 Leveling the Scale

Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable results. To compensate small irregularities or inclinations at the location, the instrument can be leveled.

For exact horizontal positioning, the Scale is equipped with a level indicator located at the rear.

Adjust the leveling feet until the air bubble in the indicator is centered.

NOTE: The instrument should be leveled each time its location is changed.

2.3.4 Stabilization

Before initially using the Scale, allow time for it to adjust to its new environment. Recommended warm up period is five (5) minutes.

3. OPERATION

The Trooper Scale has been factory calibrated and is ready for operation. You can operate the scale at this point using the factory default settings. You can check the default menu settings on page 11. All bolded items on the menu are the factory default settings. The scale will operate in the default mode. If you want to change the settings, continue with Section 4, Setup.

When the Scale is positioned for operation, follow the operational procedure outlined next.
