2 Introduction

This manual covers the Model B140 counting scale. Please read all operating instructions carefully before use.

Unpack the scale and install the battery if it was not factory installed. Plug the charging unit into a properly grounded outlet. The charging plug fits into a receptacle on the bottom of the scale in the left rear corner. Charge the battery for a full 12 hours before using the scale. Battery life when fully charged is approximately 20 hours.

Place the scale on a stable, level surface in an area free of drafts.

Level the scale using the adjustable feet and the bubble level at the lower left of the front panel. Tighten the locking ring on each foot once the scale is level.

Supply power to the scale by moving the power switch to ON. The power switch is located on the bottom of the scale.

Lo.bAt is displayed in the VALUE / WEIGHT window when the battery voltage gets low. If voltage drops too low for operation, a beeper will sound for two minutes before the scale automatically shuts off.

The battery will charge while operating the scale on AC power.

2.1Battery Installation

Follow these steps if you need to install the battery.

1.Remove the screw in the battery compartment lid on the bottom of the scale. See Figure 2.1.
