TCM2 Counting Scale Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing Model TCM2 Counting Scale. Please read all operating instructions
carefully before using and note the following points:
 Avoid using in extreme heat, cold or wet and the environment which has intensive change in

temperature, humidity and pressure.

 Allow sufficient warm up time after turn the scale on, to allow the internal components and load

cell to have enough time to stabilize and balance heat.

 Do not operate near an in-use cell phone, radio, computer or other electronic device as these

devices emit RF and maybe cause unstable scale readings.

Power supply

(1)12Vdc≥500mA with positive center AC adaptor or 6Vdc4AH lead-acid battery.
(2)Average working current is about 120mA（excluding current of charger, printer, and

backlight） (3) When using AC adaptor, the lamp of “AC” is on. When charging the
battery, the lamp of “CHG” is on.

Rechargeable
battery life

The rechargeable battery can make scale continuously work for more than 24 hours after
fully recharged and without remote platform and backlight. When the battery voltage is
below 5.6v, the “Lo.bat” will be displayed, and beep for 10 seconds and then auto off.
