Declarations of compliance

United States

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Canada

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications.

Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques
dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la
Classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique edicté par le ministère des Communications du
Canada.

Electrical installation

For your protection, all mains (110V or 230V) equipment used
where damp or wet conditions may occur, must be supplied
from a correctly fused source and protected by an approved
ground fault protection device (RCD, GFCI etc.).
IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the
machine, always isolate from the mains power supply before
carrying out any routine maintenance.

Cleaning the scale

Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline
cleaning solutions, should not be used especially on the
display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt
to wipe the inside of the machine.

The outside of the machine may be wiped down with a clean
cloth moistened with water containing a small amount of liquid
soap.

EMC compliance

The following warning may be applicable to your machine.

WARNING: This is a class A product. In a domestic
environment this product may cause radio interference in
which case the user may be required to take adequate
measures.

2 Installation

1. Hold the scale by the base when picking up. Do not pick up the scale
by the weighpan or cross.

2. Adjust the feet if the scale is not level.

2 Installation

Installation location

Make sure that the work surface is firm, steady and free from
drafts.

CAUTION: Indoor installation only. None of the equipment
and its associated wiring is suitable for installation outdoors
where it may be exposed to rain or lightning.

Repetitive strain injury

To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) it is
important to ensure that the machine is placed on a surface
which is ergonomically satisfactory to the user. In cases
where usage is prolonged we recommend frequent breaks for
the user.

Dual platform operation

For dual platform operation the scale will have 2 weighing
devices; the local scale and a remote platform (e.g. for
weighing bulky or heavy items).

Each platform can have its own tare information, while the
selected PLU, piece weight and accumulate information are
common to both.

This means that you can measure the sample weight of the
product using the integral platform and then use the remote
platform for counting the required quantities.

Switch between local and remote platform.

When switching between the integral and remote platform, the piece
weight and total remain current. The tare is stored, and the appropriate
(different) tare recalled for the new platform.

To toggle between the integral weighpan and a remote platform.

1. Press and hold the base key.

E.g.

the appropriate platform (integral or remote) is selected
prior to starting the operation.

Sampling

This enables you to find a piece weight by weighing a sample quantity of
the items to be counted.

The method that you use to sample will depend on the value of the items
and any variance in weight.

When sampling items that have a large weight variation it is advisable to
use a large sample size and either manual or automatic re-sampling.

Fast Sampling

The greater the number of items used to sample with, the more accurate
the scale will be.

1. Zero the scale and place the sample on the weighpan.

Note: The scale may request additional items to meet a minimum sample
weight (see minimum sample weight on page 31). e.g:

6 Management mode

PC protocol

A PC can be connected to the serial port of the scale. The PC
can then act as a remote terminal to control the scale, and
display scale / weight information.

To set up the scale for PC protocol you must first configure
the following:

• Serial port configuration- Branch 36 on page 33

• Printer configuration - Branch 38 on page 34

PC protocol commands and codes

The scale’s RS-232 bidirectional communication works in a
server/client protocol. A computer server sends a command
code to the scale (client) which will return a response to the
server device or perform a scale function. Commands to the
scale are in uppercase, terminated with a carriage return.
Scale responses begin with the lowercase equivalent of the
command code.
