INSTALLATION

1. UNPACKING
Unpack- the container carefully. Examine the packaging and the device for
damage,

and report to the shipper if any. Try to keep the scale upright.

Check for the exclosures as follows:
(T) Scale (D Operation Manual
(D Weighing Pan with Pan Base (?) AC Adaptor

2.

UNLOCKING

Locate a black rubber cap at the top of the scale. Remove the cap to find

a lock lever in it. Turn the lever to the centre of the scale to unlock.

* Before relocation or transportaion, turn the lever to the edge of the scale

for locking mechanism.

3. WEIGHING PAN LOADING
Place the pan base packed with the weighing pan on the scale. Fix it by
driving the nut on the pan base to the screw in the centre of the scale.

Place the weighing pan properly on the pan base.

LEVELING

Watch if the scale is level. Locate the level in left front of the
scale,

and knurled legs beneath the scale. Drive these legs to centre

the bubble in the red circle of the level properly.

5. GETTING STARTED
(1) Connect the AC adaptor with the scale, then plug the cord in line outlet.

(2) Turn on the1 power switch on the right side near bottom. The display

will light up all segments and characters for about 4 sec. as a self

test.

(3) Verify that the display changes by touching the pan slightly, and that

it returns immediately to the original by releasing it.

5. CAUTIONS ON USE
VIBRA HG scale is a highly accurate cprecision instrument. Handle/operate

it very gently, instal it in good environments for getting optimum results.
* LEVEL Check if all adjusting legs are securely sustaining the scale.
* OVERLOAD If the load exceeds the scale capacity,

o-Err

will sign it. Do not

keep the scale under this condition.

* OPERATION ENVIRONMENTS It is important to place the scale in a quiet area,

with little vibration or air draft, away from heat or cooling sources.

Do not place in such areas as :

1. Area exposed to a wind from a fan
or a cooler.

2.

Area exposed to direct sunlight.

3. On an unstable base or near to
a source of vibration.

4.

Area where temperature changes

abruptly.

5. Area in high humidity or dusts.

SCALE MODE SETTING

FOUR SCALE MODES

Select suitable scale mode to your purpose out of the following four modes.

1. Precision Weighing Mode : 1/250,000 to 1/150,000 divisions...see page 7.

2.

Counting + Weighing Mode: High precision, easy counting see page 8.

3. Percentage+Weighing Mode: Percentage of weight/reference see page 10.

4.

Conversion+Weighing Mode: Conversion by weight/coefficient...see page 12.

* At the time of delivery, the scale mode is set at 1. Precision Weighing Mode.

HOW TO SELECT A SCALE MODE

(T) Press the I F I key for about 4 sec. and release

it when display shows Func .

(T) Then display changes to / 5 ft, ., showing

the scale selection mode. Select a scale

WEIGHING WITHOUT TARE

Regarding to measurement in other
weight units, see page page 18 in
the column. You can select 2 units
out of 6 each of Mode A and 8.

Connect the AC adaptor with the scale at the rear, plug the cord in line
outlet.

Turn the power switch of the scale.
(1) Press the jT| key and verify that the display is cleared to "0".
(2) Load objects on the scale and read the display.

COUNTING SCALE MODE

The HG scale employs unique automatic memory renewal system, namely Simple
Self Counting System.
By this SCS, highly accurate reference unit weight will be obtained auto­matically, simply by adding optional number of samples (within three times
of that the display requires ).

COUNTING OPERATION BY SIMPLE SCS

(1) Place a container, if any, on

the scale and press the jjj key.
Verify that the display is "0".

2.

In case the accuracy of memorized unit weight is unsatisfactory,

Rdd _PCS will appear. Add samples until the R d d PCS disappears.

3. Under Sub or Rdd status, pressing the jT] key will memorise

unit weight for loaded samples. With such erroneous unit weight, counting
results may be incorrect.

4.

L -Err appears with such sample which unit weight is less than

1/200,000

of the scale capacity. In this case, counting operation is
impossible with this scale, because the unit weight of the object is
lighter than specified.

ACCUMULATION FUNCTION

The Accumulation Function of the HG scale offers summing-up and display of
measured data repeatedly, usuful for mixing or filling.

OPERATION

(1) Load an object on the scale. After

stabilization mark ©appears, press
the 00 key to accumulate the display
value.

The total amount will be seen

for a moment with H mark in the display.

(2) Unload the object and allow the "0" display

is settled down with © mark. Then load
another object.
After stabilization, press the jTj key to
accumulate the value and display the total
for a moment as above (1).

* Loading and unloading should be done after

Q mark displayed for stabilization.

(3) To fix the total amount in the display,

press the \T] key. The total amount will
be displayed with the 2 mark.

To clear the accumulation to zero, press

the [jj key in this total displaying mode.

reading the ©sign, the total value may be erroneous.

2.

In the simple weighing mode, with weighin unit "B", the accumulation is

not effective. See page 7 and page 18.

3. To avoid duplication, following accumulation will not be effective unless

unloading the previous load, after once the LSJ key is pressed.

4.

Or, instead of unloading, pressing thejT] key after accumulation by LP

will continue the accumulation with displaying "0". By

this,

you can
add next object on that still remaining on the scale. This is convenient
for mixing.

5. In the Counting mode, renewal of unit weight will automatically clear the
total.
