Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present: weighing platform, display unit, pole, power adapter, and this user manual.
- Assembly:
- Attach the pole to the weighing platform base. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Mount the display unit onto the top of the pole. Secure it firmly to prevent wobbling.
- Connect the display unit cable to the appropriate port on the weighing platform.
- Placement: Place the assembled scale on a firm, level, and stable surface. Avoid locations with excessive vibrations, drafts, or direct sunlight, which can affect measurement accuracy.
- Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the display unit and then plug it into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the power supply matches the scale's requirements.
- Initial Power On: Press the ON/OFF button to power on the scale. The display should perform a self-test and then show "0.0" or "0.00".
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale on or off.
- Weighing:
- Ensure the display reads "0.0" before placing an item on the platform. If not, press the ZERO button.
- Gently place the item to be weighed in the center of the weighing platform.
- Wait for the reading to stabilize. The stable weight will be displayed on the LCD.
- Tare Function: To weigh an item in a container, first place the empty container on the platform. Press the TARE button. The display will reset to "0.0". Then, place the item inside the container. The display will show the net weight of the item.
- Unit Conversion: If your model supports multiple units, press the UNIT button to cycle through available weighing units (e.g., pounds, kilograms). The BW-150DB primarily operates in pounds with 0.1 lb readability.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the scale regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the finish or internal components. Ensure no liquids enter the display unit or platform gaps.
- Platform Care: Keep the weighing platform free from debris and excessive dust. Avoid dropping heavy objects onto the platform, which can damage the load cell.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the scale in a dry, stable environment, away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Calibration: While the scale is factory calibrated, periodic calibration checks with certified weights are recommended for applications requiring high precision, especially after relocation or significant temperature changes. Refer to a qualified service technician for recalibration if necessary.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on. | No power, faulty power adapter, or internal issue. | Check power connection and outlet. Ensure power adapter is functioning. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Inaccurate or unstable readings. | Scale not level, unstable surface, drafts, or damaged load cell. | Ensure scale is on a firm, level surface. Eliminate drafts. Recalibrate if necessary or contact service. |
| Display shows "OVERLOAD" or "Err". | Weight exceeds maximum capacity (300 lbs) or sudden impact. | Remove excess weight. Avoid dropping items on the platform. |
| Scale turns off unexpectedly. | Auto-off feature activated, low power, or internal fault. | Check power connection. Some scales have an auto-off feature to save power; consult the full manual for settings. If persistent, contact support. |
