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

autorizado dentro de la CE o por las autoridades nacionales de pesos y medidas. La primera etapa de la verificación inicial ha sido llevada a cabo en el sitio de fabricación. Ésta comprende todas las pruebas estipuladas por el estándar europeo adoptado: EN 45501:1992, párrafo 8.2.2.

Si las normas nacionales limitan el periodo de validez de la verificación, el usuario del instrumento de pesaje debe seguir estrictamente el periodo de re-verificación e informar a las correspondientes autoridades de pesos y medidas.

Avis important pour les instruments de pesage vérifiés

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Unpacking and Checking

Open the package and remove the instrument and the accessories. Check the completeness of the delivery. The following accessories are part of the standard equipment of your new Scale.

Remove packing material from the instrument.

Check the instrument for transport damage. Immediately inform your Ohaus dealer if you have complaints or parts are missing. Your Trooper Scale package should contain:

• Trooper Scale

• Warranty card

• AC power adapter

• Instruction Manual

• Lead seal for weights and measures sealing

Store all parts of the packaging. This packaging guarantees the best possible protection for the transport of your instrument.

NOTE: Remove the two shipping screws if present on top of the unit.

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.

2.3.2 AC Power

Connect the AC power cord from the Scale and plug into a convenient power outlet.

NOTICE:

The socket/outlet must be installed near

the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

EN-6

Trooper Scale

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.

3.7 RS232 Commands

All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Characters shown in the following table are acknowledged by the Scale. Invalid command response "ES" error indicates the Scale has not recognized the command. Commands sent to the Scale must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line feed (CRLF). Data output by the Scale is always terminated with a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).

5. CALIBRATION AND SEALING

Span calibration ensures that the Scale reads correctly within specifications. For best results, calibrate at full capacity. Calibration unit can be set to either kg or lb.

NOTE: When the Scale is used in Legal for trade applications, the calibration menu is locked out and is not accessable.

Before beginning calibration, masses are not available, exit the menu. The Scale will retain previously stored calibration data. Calibration should be

performed as necessary to ensure accurate weighing. You have a choice of either span or linearity calibration. Span calibration checks zero and full span calibration points. Linearity calibration checks zero, mid span and full span points.

Before calibrating the scale, first determine if a recalibration is really needed. Place the available calibration masses onto the platform. As each mass is added, the scale display should show the correct weight to within +/- 1 scale division. If the scale is within the tolerance, there is no need to recalibrate the scale.

If it is determined that the scale must be recalibrated do not continue until you are certain that you have suitable

calibration masses.

This is to prevent unauthorized personnel from changing calibration.

IMPORTANT:

make sure masses are available. If you begin calibration and realize calibration

If calibration masses are available you must select the correct calibration units (pound masses or kilogram masses) before calibrating the scale. The desired unit can be chosen in the setup menu on page 10.

After the desired calibration unit has been chosen, advance to the LOCSW menu to turn the calibration lock switch off. This software lock is in place to prevent accidental calibration.

Procedure TURNING CALIBRATION LOCK SWITCH OFF
