INTRODUCTION

We thank you very much for purchasing our TEC Electronic SL59 Series Scale. This series has been desingned with TEC reliability and offer a cost efficient system for a modest invest

ment.

And the SL59 (with thermal printer) takes advantage of the latest technology in microprocessors. Because of this, the decreased cabinet size permits the system to be placed virtually anywhere in your store. Your deli, and specialty departments can enjoy these high quality reliable TEC products. Improve your operating effectiveness and watch the increased utilization of your front end scanning investment. This electronic Load cell scale eliminates all moving parts and furnishes an accurate digital display of all infor mation. We believe that your needs will now be fully satisfied, and you will have total reliability in price calculation. This manual will help to acquaint you with the proper operation and care of the SL59 series scale. Please keep it handy for future reference.

PRECAUTIONS

1. DONT SUBJECT the weighing platter to SUDDEN SHOCKS.

2. DONT 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.

8. CASSETTE MAGNETIC TAPE OPERATIONS

The SL59 is designed to interface with a cassette magnetic tape. This tape unit allows the transfer of the entire PLU file from the SL59 to the tape. This can be accomplished using a number of operation steps. In turn, information from the tape can also be transferred to other SL59.

1) SAVE(SL59 - CMT) Control lock: PR1 position

j Start the tape to be recorded after entire rewinding.

Index I 1 I

Confirm the magnetic painted part of tape running the Head. (Over 5 sec. after Starting.)

9. LEVEL ADJLUSTMENT

E1-041B9

Set the scale on a stable and level surface. Level the scale by turing the adjustable legs so that the air bubble is inside the center circle.

When the air bubble moves toward the left side, turn the right adjustable legs clockwise.

When the air bubble moves toward rear, turn the front adjustable legs clockwise.

Level Gauge

Incorrect

10.NOTES BEFORE STARTING .OPERATION

(1) Be sure to insert the power plug into AC outlet. (2) When the power plug is connected to the AC outlet, thè scale goes through the test scanning

sequence, such as 00000,00000,000000, then 11111, 11111, 111111 •■■and zeros appear on the weight and total price displays. When the control lock is turned from OFF to REG over 16 seconds after the power plug is connected to the AC outlet, all “8”s appear on all displayd, there by completing the test scanning sequence.

(3) While scale is in the test sequence, do not put anything on the platter.

(4) Do not move the unit while it is in operation. Should it become necessary ot move it at any time, turn

the control lock to OFF poosition and be sure to redjust the level indicator after relocating the scale.

(5) Should a power failure occur during operation, remove the commodity from the platter and insert the

power plug into AC outlet again when power is restored.

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

(7) If Zero Point has shifted during scaling, and no tare is displayed, adjust Zero Point by depressing

Zero switch.
