INTRODUCTION

We thank you very much for purchasing our TEC Electronic SL39N Series Scale. This series has been de

signed with TEC reliability and in consideration of future upgradability.
This model uses a new method which allows weighing wihtout any movement of the platter, thus providing
far greater accuracy. This method also allows you, the user, to change the unit price while the commodity
is on the platter simply by depressing the numeric keys; and to subtract tare weight by a single depression
of the T key.
Other functions are available on this unit, such as Tare Presetting. With the added feature of a micro
computer in the electronic calculation circuit, we believe that your needs will now be fully satisfied, and you
will have total reliability in price calculation.
This manual will help to aquaint you with the proper operation and care of the SL39N series scale. Please
keep it handy for future reference.

PRECAUTIONS

1. DO NOT SUBJECT the weighing platter to SUDDEN SHOCKS.

2. DO NOT DEPRESS THE KEYS TOO HARD. Keys will operate correctly if they are merely touched lightly.

3. Clean the cover and weighing platter by wiping with a dry cloth or a cloth soaked with detergent and
wring out thoroughly. NEVER USE THINNER OR OTHER VOLATILE SOLVENT FOR CLEANING.

4. This machine has been made drip-proof, but DO NOT POUR WATER directly on it.

5. To insure scale is operating correctly, place a known weight on platter and check for correct computing.
This should be done every morning before starting normal operations.

6. When in use, avoid locations subject to vibration and direct sunlight.

A. Be sure to insert power plug into AC outlet.
B. When turning IPOWER/ZEROI key on within about 16 seconds after inserting the power plug into AC

outlet, the scale enters the test scanning sequence, such as 00000, 0000, 00000, then 11111, 1111,

11111 ... until ZEROS are shown on all displays.
C. While scale is in the test sequence, do not put anything on the platter.
D. Do not move the unit while it is in operation. Should it become necessary to move it at any time, turn

the power switch off and be sure to readjust the level after relocating the scale.

E. Should a power failure occur during operation, turn the power OFF and remove the commodity from

the platter, and turn the power on again when power is restored.

F. If scale is used with an unrated power source, inaccurate scaling or other errors may occur.

G. If Zero Point has shifted during scaling, and no tare is displayed, adjust Zero Point by depressing

IPOWER/ZERQ] key.

however, the scalable range for net weight
becomes less by the amount of the tare.
