This manual contains installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the
Valor™ 2000W Series. Please read the manual completely before using the scale.
1.1 Safety Precautions
Please follow these safety precautions:
• Verify that the AC Adapter input voltage matches the local AC power supply.
• Do not drop loads on the platform.
• Do not place the scale upside down on the platform.
• Disconnect the scale from power supply when cleaning.
• Operate the scale only under ambient conditions specified in these
instructions.
• Service should be performed only by authorized personnel.
• Only use weights within the scale’s capacity as specified in these instructions.
• Do not operate the scale in hostile environments.
• Do not carry the scale by the pan or sub-platform. Use the handholds on the
side of the scale housing.

2.5 Power
The AC Adapter is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed.
First connect the AC Adapter plug to the scale input jack located at the bottom of
the scale according to the description below.
Figure 2-3. Slide to plug in
Then connect the AC adapter to the proper AC supply.
Figure 2-4. Connecting the AC adapter to AC supply
Caution: The scale can only be used in a dry environment when
powered by the AC adapter.
The scale can be used on AC power immediately. Allow the battery to charge
for 12 hours before using the scale on battery power. The scale will
automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power
cord is removed. With AC power, the scale is constantly charging, so the
battery charge indicator (see item 8 in table 3-2) will remain lit. The scale can
be operated during charging, and the battery is protected against overcharging.
For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room
temperature.
During battery operation, the battery symbol indicates the battery charging
status. When charging, the symbol will blink slowly and when fully charged the
symbol will stop blinking.
TABLE 2-1
Symbol Charge Level
Notes:
When battery symbol blinks fast, approximately 30 minutes working time is left.
When [Lo.bAt] is displayed, the scale will shut off.
Charging the scale must be performed in a dry environment.
CAUTION: Battery is to be replaced only by an authorized
OHAUS service dealer. Risk of explosion can occur if the
rechargeable battery is replaced with the wrong type or if it is
not properly connected. Dispose of the lead acid battery
according to local laws and regulations.
