Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The
device may only be used by qualified personnel and repaired by PCE Instruments personnel.
Damage or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual are excluded from our liability and
not covered by our warranty.

• The device must only be used as described in this instruction manual. If used otherwise,
this can cause dangerous situations for the user and damage to the meter.

• The instrument may only be used if the environmental conditions (temperature, relative

humidity, …) are within the ranges stated in the technical specifications. Do not expose

the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or moisture.

• Do not expose the device to shocks or strong vibrations.

• The case should only be opened by qualified PCE Instruments personnel.

• The device must only be used with accessories from PCE Instruments or equivalent.

• Before each use, inspect the case for visible damage. If any damage is visible, do not

use the device.

• Do not use the instrument in explosive atmospheres.

• The measurement range as stated in the specifications must not be exceeded under

any circumstances.

• Since lifting loads is associated with hazards, certain obligations must be fulfilled by the
manufacturer as well as the user in order to prevent these hazards. The use of the
measuring equipment must not constitute a hazard at any time.

• The permissible nominal loads [MAX] of the test equipment and other means used (e.
g. crane, load sling, etc.) must not be exceeded under any circumstances.

• When not in use, no loads must be attached to the scales.

• Before using the scales, make sure that all brackets are firmly mounted.

• Make sure that there are no persons under the suspended load.

• The measuring device is only permitted for lifting and weighing freely moving loads.

Twisting the load (torsional stress) is not permitted. Transporting persons, pulling loads
at an angle, tearing them loose, dragging them etc. is prohibited.

• Installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation of the measuring equipment
may only be carried out by trained persons wearing appropriate protective equipment.

• Never touch the moving parts during the weighing process. This can lead to injuries.

• Do not enter the danger zone during use. This does not only include the area directly

below the load but also areas that could become a hazard, e. g. due to swinging
ropes or other load suspension equipment.

• Non-observance of the safety notes can cause damage to the device and injuries to
the user.

We do not assume liability for printing errors or any other mistakes in this manual.
We expressly point to our general guarantee terms which can be found in our general terms of

measurement. When the lock icon appears on the display, the reading is frozen.

7 Display highest measured value

To display the highest reading, first switch off the device. Now press and hold the tare key and
switch on the instrument. The highest measured value is now continuously displayed. To reset
the reading, press and release the tare key once. Restart the scales so that the normal
measurement can be resumed.

8 Tare the display

To tare the display, press the tare key. The displayed value is set to zero.

Note: Setting a new tare point does not increase the weighing range.

9 Automatic power off

The scales have an automatic power off function. To enable or disable this function, first switch
on the instrument. Then press and hold the tare key. As soon as "OFF" appears on the display,
the automatic power off function is deactivated. When you press and hold the tare key again, the
display shows "On" and the function is activated. The scales switch off after 15 minutes when the
function is activated.

10 Simple adjustment

11 Extended adjustment

For an extended adjustment, first switch off the scales. The scales must then hang freely. Now
hold down the HOLD key and switch on the scales. The measured digit value is displayed. Press
the HOLD key again. Now the weighing range can be set by repeatedly pressing the tare key.
Accept this value by pressing the HOLD key. Then the resolution can be set by repeatedly
pressing the tare key. Accept this value by pressing the HOLD key. “CAL" is then displayed.
Now the actual adjustment takes place for which no key operation is necessary. “300" is now
displayed. This means that a 300 kg weight must now be attached. The value is automatically
accepted as soon as the weight has been attached. When "PASS" is displayed, the calibration is
complete.
Note: Do not change the weighing range and resolution. You can cancel the adjustment at any
time during the process by switching off the scales.

12 Batteries

As soon as the batteries of the scales are discharged, this is indicated by the "LO" indicator on
the display. The batteries must then be replaced.
To insert the batteries, no load must be attached to the hanging scales. Now open the battery
compartment on the back. Now insert 3 x 1.5 V AA batteries. Make sure that the polarity is correct.
You can then close the battery compartment and use the scales.

13 Contact

If you have any questions, suggestions or technical problems, please do not hesitate to contact
us. You will find the relevant contact information at the end of this user manual.

14 Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament
applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use
them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with
your local waste regulations.

If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
