Torbal Bench Scales
Chapter 1: Cautionary Notes
Remember choose a proper location for you scale. Always handle the unit with care.
The correct location and proper environment make an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing
results of TORBAL industrial scales.
The optimum location for your scale:
• Stable, vibration-free base as horizontal as possible
• Away from direct sunlight
• Not exposed to high temperature variations
• Away from direct drafts
• The best location is a stable surface away from direct drafts, doors, windows, radiators and air
conditioner vents.
- 2 -
CAUTION:
WARNING:
• The scale is designed for indoor use only.
• Do not operate the scale in hazardous areas or conditions.
• Do not use the scale in locations subject to high humidity.
• Do not connect cables in ways other than those mentioned in this manual.
• Be sure to set the scale on a firm, stable, horizontal surface.
• Never stand on or lean upon this product. Equipment may fall or collapse, causing breakage
and possible injury.
• Before moving the product, unplug it and unplug all cables connected to it.
• When storing, transporting or returning the scale for service, always use the original
packaging.
• Never attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the scale yourself. Tampering with the scale
may result in injury and cause more damage to the equipment.
• Be sure to use the specified power source.
• Do not allow foreign matter to fall into the scale.
• If water or other liquid spills into the scale, do not continue to use it. Unplug the power cord
immediately and contact technical support.
1.1. Important handling Cautions and Warnings
Follow all safety guidelines in order to avoid electrical shock, or damage to
connected peripheral devices.
• All necessary repairs or internal adjustments should be made by authorized personnel only.
• To avoid the risk of fire use an outlet of the proper type that provides the specified voltage. The
required voltage for the power supply is 115vAC @ 60Hz and requires a minimum of 1.2 amperes
of current.
• Do not use the scale when the cover is open.
• Do not use the scale in explosive atmospheres.
• Do not use the scale in very high humidity.
• If the scale does not operate properly, unplug the power supply and do not use it until checked by
authorized personnel.
Disposal of electronic equipment in waste containers is
forbidden by law.
• Please dispose of electronic equipment in appropriate recycling centers or by
returning to the original point of purchase.

Always handle your scale with care. Damage caused by improper handling is not covered
under the scale’s warranty.
Never drop or throw any articles onto the
scale’s pan or onto any other parts of the unit!
DO NOT let the scale fall or drop from its
tabletop surface!
When moving the scale do not press or apply
force onto the scales pan!
DO NOT pass or handle liquids directly over
the scale to avoid spillage and liquid damage!

Chapter 5: Unpacking the Balance and Getting Started
1. Carefully remove the scale, pan, and all of its components out of the packaging. Place them on a stable
surface where the scale will not be affected by any mechanical vibrations or high air movements.
2. After removing all components from the packaging, carefully assemble the unit. First, lift the pan and
then remove cardboard shims which are used to secure the pan support during shipping.
Important: When transporting the scale these shims must be replaced, and the pan support must be
secured prior to shipping.
3. Use the rotational feet to level the scale. An air bubble level is built into the platform for this purpose.
Adjust the feet until the bubble is center in the level indicator. Lock the feet in position with the
locking nuts.

4. After leveling the scale, you may plug the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor socket located in the rear of
the scale.
5. When the AC adapter is plugged into the wall outlet, the scale
will turn “ON” automatically, initialize itself, and enter weighing
mode.

Chapter 6: Basic Principles of Weighing
1. The scale should be properly zeroed before weighing. Proper zeroing is indicated by the Zero

3. An accurate weighing result should not be taken until the stability indicator, ( ) , indicates that
the result is stable.
4. For best results place the unknown weight in the center of the pan.
5. Always protect the scale from dirt, dust, and corrosive liquids. When Cleaning use of a clean cloth
with soap and water, and then dry with a clean wiper.
6. Use the “Active” function to customize the scale’s main menu and disable functions that are not used.

Chapter 7: Functions, Descriptions and Definitions
• Parts Counting is used to count parts based on their established average piece weight.
• Percent weighing is used to establish the relative weight of an unknown, compared to that of a stored
reference weight and expressed as a percent.
• Recipe Making is used for weighing and summing individual ingredients such as powers or liquids
during recipe making or mixing compounds.
• Check weighing is used to check whether a weight of an object falls within specified threshold limits.
• Animal and dynamic weighing is used to weigh animals or objects which are in motion while on the
pan.
• Tare Storing is used to store the values of various containers used for weighing.
• Filtering is used to minimize or eliminate the effects of vibrations in the weighing surface.
• Min / Max Indication is used in conjunction with Check Weighing to control external indication or
sorting equipment.
• Totalizing is used for summation of sequential weighing results of items or articles.

Chapter 8: Weighing
1. To begin weighing, press the power button ( ) to turn the scale ON. The scale will go through its
initialization procedure and automatically enter “Weighing Mode”. The scale is ready to begin
weighing as soon as the stabilization (

8.1 Taring
1. If a container is used for weighing, it may be tared. In taring the container, the scale subtracts the
weight of the container from the gross weight to obtain the net weight.
2. To tare the weighing container, place it in the middle of the pan. The container’s weight will be shown
on the display.

3. Once the stabilization indicator appears on the display, the container is ready to be tared. To tare the
container, press the “T” button. The display will show a dotted line which indicates the scale has
begun the taring process.

4. When finished taring, the balance will return to weighing and the NET indicator will be lit. The
display will indicate 0.00g.

8.2 Extending the resolution
1. The resolution of the scale can be temporarily increased by pressing the HR key. This temporary
increase in resolution can be very useful in scales where d=e. The display resolution is increased for 5
seconds and then reverts automatically.

Note: These results are not legal for trade and cannot be sent to a printer or an external computer.
8.3 Zeroing the scale
If the display signals are out of zero condition “—“, the scale must be zeroed before weighing.
