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 and installation for your scale:
• Stable, vibration-free mounting installation.
• Away from direct sunlight
• Not exposed to high temperature variations
• Away from direct drafts
• When mounting take extra caution and make sure that your mounting method
will support a load which is equal to twice the weight of the scale’s maximum
weighing capacity. Improper mounting of the crane scale can result in having the
unit fall from its mounted height and can cause serious injury or death.

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. Improper installation can cause a safety hazard.
When mounting take extra caution and make
sure that your mounting method will support a
load which is equal to twice the weight of the
scale’s maximum weighing capacity. Improper
mounting of the crane scale can result in having
the unit fall from its mounted height and can
cause serious injury or death.
DO NOT let the scale fall or drop from its
tabletop surface!
Never drop or throw articles at the scale or any
other parts of the unit!
DO NOT spray water or any other liquids at the

1. Carefully remove the crane scale, ac adapter, as well as the remote control and antenna (optional) out
of the packaging.
2. After removing all of the components, place the crane scale on a table top surface.
3. Using scissors cut the plastic tie straps which secures the hook during shipping.
4. If an optional remote control is purchased, mount the remote antenna onto the
crane scale by firmly screwing it into the antenna port located on the left side.
5. After assembling the unit, plug in the AC adapter to the AC adapter socket
located on the right side the scale. Leave the adapter plugged in for
minimum of 3 hours in order to charge the scale’s internal battery.
6. Once the battery has been charged the scale maybe installed.
Before installing the scale make sure that the scale’s hook is
in place, and firmly secured with two locking retaining rings
located on both sides of the hook shaft.
7. When mounting take extra caution and make sure that your mounting method will support a load
which is equal to twice the weight of the scale’s maximum weighing capacity.
Improper mounting of the crane scale can result in having the unit fall from
its mounted height and can cause serious injury or death.

Chapter 6: Battery Operation
The BAS Crane Scale is equipped with six Ni-MH 1.2V or two 3.7V internal rechargeable batteries. The
battery pack is built in as an integrated part of the scale’s back cover. The battery has been designed to handle
up to 1,000 charging cycles, which should allow the battery to last anywhere from two to three years. The
battery pack should be replaced when after fully charged its operating time is reduced to 20% of its nominal
value (fewer than 4 hours). In order to replace the battery pack, please contact Torbal Technical Support.
Never attempt to replace the battery on your own. By doing so you may cause scale damage and void the
manufacture’s warranty.
Useful Tips for Operating the Scale with a Battery
• In order to increase the battery’s operating life, it is recommended to set the scale’s back light mode to
(“back light battery” – B_LBAT). Refer to Chapter 29 (LCD back light).
• The scale’s internal battery’s are always in the charging mode when the scale is plugged into a power
outlet. Do not allow the battery’s to completely discharge as this may damage the battery or reduce its
life.
• When operating the unit on batteries it is recommended to enable the scale’s “Auto-Off” function by
setting it to AUT BAT. This will turn the scale off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. Refer to
Chapter 30 (Auto Off).

3. An accurate weighing result should not be taken until the stability indicator, () , indicates that
the result is stable, and the hanging load is stable from swiveling.
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.
This makes use the main menu fast and easy.
