CONTROL, DIETETIC CONTROL AND A WITHOUT ENDED APPLICATIONS IN THE
WEIGHT. IT HAS THE TARE FUCTION, USED WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THE RECIPIENT WEIGHT. IT HAS THE CAPABILITY OF INTERCHANGE THE
UNITS FROM KILOGRAMS, POUNDS OR OUNCES, IT COULD BE EASY TRANSPORTED
BECAUSE IT CAN WORK WITH A 9 VOLT BATTERY (NO INCLUDED), IT HAS A
VOLTAGE SENSOR FOR THE BATTERY AND IT SHOWS TO THE USER IMPORTANT
MESSAGES.

"LOW BATTERY" INDICATOR
WHEN THE DISPLAY SHOWS THE LOW BATTERY INDICATOR, THE BATTERY IS
ALMOST OUT OF ENER GY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS PREFERABLE TO REPLACE
THE 9 VOLT BATTERY.
EVEN WITH THIS SIGNAL, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE SCALE TO KEEP ON OPERATING
FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME APROXIMATELY (2 HOURS), BUT AFTER A SECOND
WARNING SIGNAL APPEARS ("LOW bAt") IN THE VIEW FINDER, THE SCALE STOPS
ITSELF AND SHUTS ITSELF DOWN.

OPERATION
HOW TO WEIGHT A PRODUCT
TURN YOUR SCALE ON PRESSING THE
COUNTDOWN SEQUENCE STARTS IN THE GENER AL VIEW FINDER. AT THE END OF
THIS COUNTDOWN SEQUENCE, THE VIEW FINDER WILL BE IN "ZEROS" . AT THIS
MOMENT THE SCALE IS READY TO WEIGHT.
THEN PLACE THE PRODUCT TO WEIGHT ON THE PLATE AND YOU WILL SEE THE
WEIGHT IN THE ALPHANUMERIC INDICATOR. THE "Kg", "Lb " OR “Oz” SYMBOL WILL
APPEAR IN THE INDICATOR. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU PLACE A PRODUCT WHOSE
WEIGHT IS 2.5 POUNDS, YOU WILL SEE THE FOLLOWING:
HOW TO USE THE “TARE”.
WHEN YOU WISH TO WEIGHT A PRODUCT IN A CONTAINER AND YOU DO NOT WANT
TO CONSIDER THE CONTAINER'S WEIGHT DURING THE OPERATION, YOU CAN USE
THE “TARE” FUNCTION. TO USE THIS FUNCTION, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: SUPPOSE
YOU ARE GOING TO WEIGHT 5 POUNDS OF SOME PRODUCT IN A CONTAINER THAT
WEIGHT 4.5 POUNDS.
PLACE THE EMPTY CONTAINER ON THE SCALE.
PRESS THE
PUT THE PRODUCT INSIDE THE CONTAINER AND THE SCALE SHOWS ONLY THE
WEIGHT OF THE PRODUCT WITHOUT THE CONTAINER'S WEIGHT. NOTICE THAT
WHEN YOU REMOVE THE CONTAINER A NEGATIVE NUMBER (WEIGHT OF
CONTAINER) APPEARS IN THE GENERAL VIEW FINDER.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT THIS FUNCTION IS SUBTRACTIVE. FOR
EXAMPLE, IF WE HAVE A CONTAINER THAT WEIGHT 4 POUNDS, THE SCALE WILL
ONLY BE ABLE TO WEIGHT UP TO 6 POUNDS OF PRODUCT TO COMPLETE THE
MAXIMUM CAPACITY ( 10 POUNDS, 5 KILOGRAMS OR 160 OZ. IN A PS-5 MODEL).

NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE SCALE IS FREE OF WEIGHT OVER THE PLATE
THE TWO FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS ARE SPECIALLY IMPORTANT.
A) WHEN THERE IS NO WEIGHT ON THE SCALE YOU CAN NOT ACTIVATE THE
"TARE" FUNCTION.
B) WHEN A CONTAINER IS "TARED", BUT WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE PLATE
AND YOU REMOVE A LARGER WEIGHT THAN THE CONTAINER, (GREASE, REMAINING
OF A PRODUCT, ETC.), OR WHEN THE PLATE IS SLIGHTLY LIFTED WITH YOUR HAND.
"NEG" (NEGATIVE) WILL APPEAR.
HOW TO USE THE "REFERENCE TO ZERO"
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE SCALE TO SHOW A NUMBER IN THE VIEW FINDER
WITHOUT HAVING ANY PRODUCT ON THE PLATE DUE TO VOLTAGE VARIATIONS,
ROUGH HANDLING, OR SOME OTHER FACTOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SIMPLY PRESS
ZERO
