1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a crane scale from PCE Instruments.
The crane scale PCE-CS 10000N can weigh up to 10 tons. To do so, the scale comes with a solid
shackle on top and a rotatable safety hook on the bottom side. The 5-digit LED display has a character
height of 30 mm, so that it is easily readable, even from a distance. The crane scale PCE-CS 10000N can
be operated from a distance up to 15 m as well by using the infrared remote control. The internal battery
of the crane scale allows up to 50 hours of operation.

Please mind the maximum capacity of the scale at any point. Do not exceed it.
In order to prevent potential hazardous situations when using heavy-lifting equipment, it is vital
the manufacturer and the operator adhere to certain requirements. When using the measuring
equipment, no risk must be posed to the operator.
The operator or the person responsible for operating the measuring equipment must adhere to
the national regulations for example health and safety at work regulations or any other
governmental safety standards.
There are also other safety precautions to be taken into consideration when operating the
equipment, for example precautions provided by the crane, lifting device or shackle manufacturer
etc.
The assembly, the commissioning and the servicing of the measuring equipment must only be
carried out by properly trained personnel who have been provided with the appropriate protective
equipment.
The measuring equipment must not be altered and is only allowed to be used for the intended
purpose.
The measuring equipment as well as any other equipment (for example the crane or any other
heavy-lifting equipment) must be regularly serviced and maintained and where necessary have
the service history correctly logged or certified. Each time before using the equipment a visual
check must be carried out. In the case of any discrepancies for example cracks, breaks or
deformities, the equipment must be immediately disabled and declared unfit for use. This must
also be reported where necessary to the person in your company who is responsible for health

4.4 Battery
The crane scale comes with a usual 6 V / 7 Ah lead-acid battery, which can be replaced if it breaks down.
When fully loaded, the crane scale can be operated for ca. 50 hours.
If the display of the scale begins to blink, it means that the battery voltage is low. In this case, please
recharge the battery. If the battery is not recharged, the scale automatically shuts down after 1-2 hours.
If this happens, recharge the battery before the next usage.
To charge the battery, use the charging adaptor (9 V DC / 1000 mA), which is included in the package.
Turn the crane scale off and plug in the charging adaptor. The charging indication glows orange during
charging. If the battery is fully loaded, the charging indication turns green.
If the battery voltage is low, the battery should be charged for at least 8 hours. An integrated overcharge
protection prevents the battery from taking damage, if it is connected to the adaptor for too long.
