3. Working temperature: 5°C-35°C.
4. Power supply: 12Vdc, 650mA AC adaptor, with negative centre or 6V4AH rechargeable
battery.
Note:
• When the rechargeable battery is fully charged the scales can be used for 20 hours
continuously.
• When the power supply registers <5.4V(±0.1V), the scales will be turned off
automatically.
• When the power supply registers <5.7V(±0.1V) but over 5.4V(±0.1V), the scales will
alternatively display Lo.bAT and whatever the screen currently displays in its normal
mode.
• If the AC adaptor is used to charge the battery or to power the scales, the switch on
the underside of the scales must be switched to the on position.
5. Working current: <150mA.
6. Recharging current: <400mA.
1. ZERO/ON/OFF
(i) Press this button to activate the scales. The scales perform its self-examination mode,
display the working voltage x.x Udc, display the machine’s capacity (F6.000kg or
F15.000kg), before finally setting the zero point and displaying a zero reading.
Note: The power-on zero-point range is: calibration zero-point ±20% FS (full scale weight
capability).
(ii) To reset the scales to zero after any operation, press the ZERO key for less than five
seconds. Pressing the ZERO key for more than five seconds will activate the ON/OFF
function.
The ZERO key range is power-on zero-point ±5% FS. The ZERO function is used to clear
any TARE weight that may be displayed after previous weighing operations. When the
TARE weight is displayed the NET LED will be activated. After using the ZERO function
the ZERO LED will be shown. If the current weight exceeds ±5% then the ZERO
operation is disabled and the display will read 0
______
or 0______, before returning to
the previous reading.
2. TARE/UNIT
Pressing the TARE/UNIT key for less than five seconds activates the TARE function.
Pressing the TARE/UNIT key for more than five seconds activates the UNIT function.
The TARE range for these scales is up to 102%FS. The TARE function should be
activated when the scales are in normal mode, i.e. the display reads 0 and no items are
on the weighing tray.
When the TARE weight is not reading 0, the NET LED light will be activated.
Note: Gross weight = Net weight + Tare weight
£102%FS.
UNIT: The UNIT function is used to select the weight scale (lb, kg, g, oz, lb.oz).

Cleaning the scales
The calibration of this product requires specialist tools and should only be carried out by
persons with appropriate skills/qualifications. Should you experience any problems please
return the goods to your supplier, who will arrange professional calibration of the scales.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD MAINTENANCE OR CALIBRATION BE ATTEMPTED
BY PERSONS WITHOUT APPROPRIATE SKILLS OR QUALIFICATIONS. SUCH ACTIONS MAY
RESULT IN IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE AND WILL ALSO INVALIDATE ANY GUARANTEE OR
WARRANTY.
The scales incorporate an AUTO-OFF function. To activate this action the scales must be
switched on. To set the function, press the TARE and ZERO buttons for more than 5
seconds until the A.oFF.x message is displayed.
Setting the AUTO-OFF function time is achieved by pressing the TARE button the required
number of times, until the desired AUTO-OFF time is displayed (i.e. A.oFF.4 will cause the
scales to switch themselves off after four minutes).
The AUTO-OFF time is confirmed and saved by pressing the ZERO button.
If the scales are to be used in wet or damp conditions using a mains electrical connection
(110V/230V), the supply must be correctly fused and protected by an approved RCD which
conforms to BS7071 or BS7288 or IEC1008-2-2 BS EN 61008:1995. IF YOU ARE NOT
SURE ABOUT THIS WARNING YOU MUST SEEK THE ADVICE OF A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
To avoid an electric shock, or permanent damage to the machine, you must isolate the
scales from the electricity supply before carrying out any routine maintenance.
To avoid damage to the display, top plate or body of the scales, it is not advised to use any
harsh abrasives, scouring cleaners and alkaline solutions, such as washing soda, when
cleaning the scales. Special care should be taken when cleaning the digital display screen,
which could be permanently damaged by the use of inappropriate cleaning agents. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO CLEAN ANY INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
Best cleaning results are obtained by the use of a clean, lint-free cloth, which has been
slightly dampened using a weak water and washing-up liquid solution.
