Operations

Turns the scale on. The scale will test itself by activating all of the segments on the display and then zero itself. Occasionally the display will show EEEE0, this means that the scale is seeking zero. The display stays on EEEE0 while the scale is either in motion or has an unacceptable deadload.

OFF

Turns the scale off.

If cabled for a demand output, this button transmits data via a cable to another scale, printer, display, etc..

lb/kg

Converts the weight on the scale from pounds to kilograms or vice versa. The indicating bars on the right side of the display indicate which mode the scale is in.

LOCAL/TOTAL

If more than one scale is cabled together, the scales can display the actual weight they are seeing (local), or the sum total weight of two or more scales (total). The indicating bar on the upper left side of the display is off when in the local mode, and on when in the total mode.

TEST/ZERO

This switch will "test" the display by activating all of its segments. It then zeros the scale. See the explanation for the ON button.

LAMP

This switch will back light the display for night use. The lamps only stay on while the button is being pushed.

HOLD/RELEASE

When in the hold mode, the scale will constantly display the highest weight applied to it. When in the release mode, the scale shows the actual weight upon it. The indicating bar on the lower left side of the display is on when in the hold mode, and off when in the release mode.

The indicating bar next to Bat comes on when the batteries are getting low. The scale will continue to operate correctly for approximately two hours before shutting itself off.
