SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For safe operation of the weighing indicator, please follow these instructions:

● Calibration inspection and maintenance of the indicator are prohibited by non-pro- fessional staff

● Please ensure that the indicator rests on a stable surface

● The indicator is a piece of static sensitive equipment; Please cut off power during electrical connections

● Touching the internal components by hand is prohibited

● DO NOT exceed the rated load limit of the unit

● DO NOT step on the unit

● DO NOT jump on the scale

● DO NOT use this product if any of the components are cracked

● DO NOT use for purposes other then weight taking

● To avoid damaging the battery do not keep charger plugged in once battery is fully charged

● Make sure the weight is not over the Max capacity as it could damage the load cell inside

● Material that has a static electric charge could inuence the weighing. Discharge the static electricity of the samples, if possible. Another solution to the problem is to wipe both sides of the pan and the top of the case with an anti-static agent

Please take anti-static prevention measures

Any accumulated charge on the body of the human operator should be discharged rst

before opening the protective container with ESDS devices inside. The discharge can be accomplished by:

● Putting a hand on a grounded surface or, ideally, by wearing a grounded Anti-static Wrist Strap and an Anti-static Mat

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Power On

● Turn on the power by pressing the power button (1) for 2 seconds. Once on, the scale will begin to auto-check and count down from 0-9 sequentially before entering

the weighing mode

Note: Anything on the scale before powering on will automatically be tared out.

Zeroing

● The zero function is used only when the scale is empty and is not at gross zero due to material build up

● Pressing the ZERO button (5) will reset your scale to 0

● Depending on what your manual zero range parameter is set to, you can zero out any number within your set selection, after that you will receive an error and will need to tare out the weight

Unit Selection

● To switch between measuring units kg/lb press the UNIT (3) button

Tare Function

● The Tare function is used when you only wish to see the current change in weight, not the entire amount of weight that is on the scale

● When the indicator is in gross mode (normal weighing) pressing the TARE button (4) will Tare the current weight on the scale and enter the net mode (net light shown)

● For example if you are using a container add the container to the scale, press tare to reset back to 0

● Add your product to the scale to weigh without the weight of the container

● To exit Tare mode press the TARE button (4) again to enter gross mode and you will see the total weight of the container and the product

Note: If you remove the container the scale will show the minus weight of the container

Accumulation

● The accumulation function is used to add multiple weights and total them together

● In weighing mode load the rst weight, once stable press the TOTAL button (2) to enter the accumulation mode.

● The screen will ash “

● Remove weight so the scale is at 0 before adding the second weight to the scale

● Once stable press the TOTAL button (2) to add the second weight to the accumulated total

HELPFUL DEFINITIONS

Division: The amount of increments a scale offers. How accurate the scale can be

Capacity: the maximum amount the scale can contain

Initial Zero Range: The percentage of weight allowed on the scale when indicator is powered

on that will automatically zero.

example: If initial zero range is set to 10% of the max. capacity and your max. capacity is

100lbs, you can place up to 10lbs of weight on the scale and when the indicator is powered on, it will automatically zero out the weight.

Manual Zero Range: The percentage of weight allowed on the scale where the indicator will let you manually zero (anything above this percent will be tared)

Zero Tracking Range: A subset to the manual zero range; if the weight on the scale is not stable, the zero tracking range still allows you to zero within a set division of the scale

Zero Tracking Time: A subset to the zero tracking range, it is the time allowed for the scale to fall within the zero tracking range tolerance and still qualify to be zero’d

Overload Range: Weight allowance that is out of the set calibrated range. Adds a tolerance to the calibrated max. capacity without having to recalibrate. example: If your scale has a max. capacity of 1000lbs with a division of 1 and you set the overload range to 60, you can add 1060lbs of weight to the scale without it displaying an error code

Negative Display: How far you can go in the negative direction before displaying an error code

Standstill Time: How fast the scale will stabilize

Standstill Range: How much the scale can uctuate before being determined stable

Digital Filter: For ltering moving weight, such as animals, It changes how sensitive

the scale is to variations in movement.

Noise Filter: A lter for how susceptible the scale is to general variations

Baud Rate: The rate at which information is transferred in a communication channel.

example: In the serial port context, “9600 baud” means that the serial port is capable of transferring a maximum of 9600 bits per second.

Q&A

Q: The scale does not turn on

A: Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and that there is power. One easy way to

test this is by connecting another appliance to the same outlet and see if it’s operational

Q: The reading goes negative when a load is applied

A: Try interchanging the Sig+ and Sig- wiring connected to the load cell and/or

junction box (if one is used)

Q: How do I resolve ERR6 error?

A: Please follow the procedure below:

1) Turn on the indicator and make sure nothing is on the scale, and that the scale is level and not wobbling

2) Press and hold the “POWER and ENTER” buttons (1+6) simultaneously for 2 seconds

3) The screen will read “C01”

4) Using the arrow buttons, change C01 to C20. You have to change the 1st digit from 0 to 2 rst before you can change the 2nd digit 1 to a 0.

5) Press the “ENTER” button to enter C20 parameter

6) Change the value of C20 on the right to 100 if using the up arrow key

7) Press the “ENTER” button to enter your selection

8) The screen will read “C21” now

9) Press “ENTER” key to enter C21 parameter

10) Change the value on the right of C21 to 100 if available, 20 if not

11) Press “ENTER” key to enter your selection

12) he screen will read “C22” now

13) Press “POWER” key to save and exit

14) Power the indicator off and then on, and see if this resolves the ERR 6 issue. If not, then following the Q&A answers below for resolving “nnnnnn”and “uuuuuu”

errors Q: How do I resolve “nnnnnn” and “uuuuuu” error? A: 1) Check to see if the cable that runs from the indicator to the junction box is

damaged. If it is, replace the cable.

2) Open up the junction box (if available) and check to see if there is any water

damage. If so, replace the junction box

3) Make sure all the wires on all 5 terminal blocks (5 wires on each terminal block)

are not loose. Re-tighten the screws even if the wires seem to be connected

4) Recalibrate

5) If steps 1-4 do not work, there is a possibility one or more load cells are

defective (consult with support@optimascale.com for further instructions)
