Remove the contents from the carton which includes the scale, platter, and the AC adaptor.
Install the platter by inserting the pins on the underside into the holes on the top of the scale
console. The sloped edge of the platter should face forward. If any of the pins are bent, contact
QTech; inaccurate counts may result.

The scale is battery powered with the AC adapter functioning as the charger. Since the battery
ships with only a partial charge, allow the unit to charge for at least 10 minutes before initial use.
(A full charge requires 8 to 12 hours.) When charging, first insert the plug into the jack on the left
side of the unit and then plug the transformer into a standard 110/120 volt AC outlet. The power
indicator light on the scale will glow red when recharging. As the charge approaches completion
the light will change to yellow and finally green, indicating a full charge. The scale power switch
need not be in the “on” position during charging.

A full battery will hold a charge for about two months providing approximately 200 hours of
continuous use. The scale will require recharging when the battery symbol appears in
the lower right corner of the WEIGHT window. Since the battery can be damaged if it is
discharged too much, the scale will automatically power off if the battery is not recharged within
20 hours of the first appearance of the warning symbol.

Locate your scale on a solid, level work surface free from air drafts and vibrations. Tighten the
two black disks of the leveling feet together, and then hand tighten them as a unit into the base.
If the scale is not steady, loosen and extend only one of the feet to eliminate any imbalance.
While precise leveling of the scale is not required, you may get inaccurate results if all four
adjustable feet are not in contact with the work surface, or are extended too far.

CAUTION: The AC adaptor supplied with the scale is a proprietary design. Should it
ever fail, replace only with a QTech supplied adaptor. The use of any other brand may
result in scale and/or battery damage as well as voiding your warranty.

For Consistent and Accurate Results:

 Avoid placement near drafts, windows, fans, or air conditioning and heating vents. Do

not leave anything on the scale platter when not in use.

 Use a surge protector with the AC adaptor to minimize the effects of voltage spikes.

 Do not fill containers with coins or tokens while on the scale platter. Always fill off the

platter to avoid damage to the sensitive scale load cell.

 To avoid electronic interference do not operate cell phones within 6 feet of the scale.

Important: Save the shipping carton and all packing materials should it be necessary
to return the unit to the factory for service.

The EZ-60 counts coins by comparing the weight of each coin denomination (as specified by the
US Mint) with the total weight on the scale. Because the weight of coins is not consistent due to
minting variations and wear, the accuracy of the EZ-60 is plus or minus one or two coins per
thousand.

Here are the pre-programmed US coin denominations and their corresponding entry keys:

Denomination Key

1 Dollar Coin

50 Cent Piece

Quarter

Dime

Nickel

Penny

1

2

3

4

5

6

The following instructions are for quarters, but all other denominations are counted in the same
manner. The only difference is the key selection as noted above.

Turn the scale on by pressing the ON/OFF rocker switch on the left side of the scale. During
initialization all the display windows will temporarily show a series of alphanumeric digits. After
about five seconds the DENOMINATION, QUANTITY, and TOTAL windows will each display
“0”. The scale is now ready for use.

Press the number 3 key to select quarters, and “0.25” will appear in the DENOMINATION
window.

Since coins are most easily counted in a bucket or tray, the first step is to cancel-out, or “tare”,
the weight of the container. Place an empty container on the scale and press the T (tare) key;
the weight window will now display ”0”.

Remove the empty tared container from the scale and fill with coins. Now place the filled

container back on the scale and the count will be calculated and displayed. If you need to add a
few more coins to the container you may do so while it is on the scale, but the container should
be initially filled off of the scale to avoid damage to the sensitive load cell.

Coins added to the scale will be incrementally displayed until the scale’s 60 pound maximum

weight capacity has been reached. If you exceed the weight capacity the WEIGHT window will

display the letters “OL” and an audible chirp will be heard. Remove some coins until the quantity

displays once again.

NOTE: When you remove a container from the scale dashes will display in the QUANTITY and
TOTAL windows. Should you need to cancel a tare weight, remove the container from the scale
platter and press the Z Key.
