Introduction
Thank you for choosing the SOEHNLE PROFESSIONAL Compact Scale 9241. This manual provides essential information for the correct setup, operation, and maintenance of your scale. Please read these instructions carefully before using the device to ensure safe and efficient operation and to achieve accurate weighing results. This model features a maximum capacity of 15 kg with a readability of 0.5 g, making it suitable for various professional applications.
Product Overview and Applications




1. Setup
1.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the scale for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is found, do not use the scale and contact your supplier immediately.
1.2 Placement
Place the scale on a stable, level, and vibration-free surface. Avoid locations with direct sunlight, extreme temperature fluctuations, or strong air currents (e.g., near air conditioning vents), as these can affect weighing accuracy.
1.3 Power Supply
The scale can be powered by the integrated battery or via the included 230 V plug-in power adapter. The integrated battery provides up to 70 hours of operation and features a charging function when connected to the power adapter.
- AC Operation: Connect the power adapter to the scale's power input and then to a suitable electrical outlet.
- Battery Operation: Ensure the integrated battery is sufficiently charged for portable use.
2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Power On/Off
- To Power On: Press the ON/OFF button. The display will show a self-test sequence and then settle at zero.
- To Power Off: Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the display turns off.
2.2 Basic Weighing
- Ensure the scale is powered on and the display shows "0.000 kg" or "0.0 g".
- Place the item to be weighed directly onto the weighing platform.
- Read the weight displayed on the screen.
2.3 Tare Function (T)
The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so only the net weight of the contents is measured.
- Place the empty container on the weighing platform.
- Press the T (Tare) button. The display will reset to "0.000 kg" (or "0.0 g"), indicating the container's weight has been tared.
- Add the items to be weighed into the container. The display will show the net weight of the items.
- To clear the tare, remove the container from the platform and press the T button again, or power cycle the scale.
2.4 Zero Function (→0←)
The zero function is used to reset the display to zero when there is a small amount of residual weight on the platform or if the display drifts slightly from zero.
- With nothing on the platform, if the display shows a small non-zero value, press the →0← (Zero) button to reset it to "0.000 kg".
2.5 Counting Function
This function allows you to count a large number of identical items by weighing a sample.
- Place a known quantity of items (e.g., 10, 20, 50, 100) on the platform as a sample.
- Access the counting mode (refer to the scale's specific button, often labeled PCS or similar, or a menu option).
- Input the sample quantity. The scale will calculate the average piece weight.
- Add the remaining items to be counted. The display will show the total count.
2.6 Summing Function
The summing function allows you to accumulate the weights of multiple items or batches.
- Weigh the first item.
- Press the M+ (Memory Plus) or SUM button to add the weight to the total.
- Remove the item and place the next item to be weighed.
- Repeat step 2 and 3 for all items.
- To view the total sum, press the MR (Memory Recall) or TOTAL button.
2.7 Checking Function
This function is used for checking if an item's weight falls within a predefined target range (checkweighing).
- Enter the target weight and tolerance limits (upper and lower bounds) into the scale's settings.
- Place an item on the platform.
- The scale will indicate if the item is "under," "over," or "within" the target range, often with visual or audible alerts.
2.8 Hold Function
The hold function allows the displayed weight to be frozen on the screen, even after the item is removed from the platform. This is useful for weighing large or awkwardly shaped items that might obscure the display.
- Place the item on the platform.
- Press the HOLD button. The weight will be locked on the display.
- Remove the item. The weight will remain displayed.
- Press the HOLD button again to release the display and return to normal weighing mode.
3. Maintenance
3.1 Cleaning
To maintain accuracy and prolong the life of your scale, regular cleaning is recommended.
- Always disconnect the scale from the power supply before cleaning.
- Wipe the weighing platform and housing with a soft, damp cloth.
- Use mild cleaning agents if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface and internal components.
- Do not allow liquids to enter the scale's interior.
3.2 Battery Care
The integrated battery is designed for long-term use. To maximize battery life:
- Charge the battery fully before first use.
- If the scale will not be used for an extended period, charge the battery periodically (e.g., every 3 months) to prevent deep discharge.
- Store the scale in a cool, dry place.
3.3 Storage
When not in use, store the scale in its original packaging or a protective cover to prevent dust and damage. Ensure it is stored in a dry environment.
4. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Scale does not turn on. | No power supply; discharged battery; faulty power adapter. | Check power adapter connection. Charge battery. If using battery, ensure it's charged. |
| Inaccurate readings. | Unstable surface; air currents; scale not zeroed; overload. | Place on stable surface. Avoid drafts. Press Zero button. Do not exceed max capacity. |
| Display shows "Err" or "OL". | Overload (weight exceeds maximum capacity). | Remove excess weight immediately. |
| Display drifts or fluctuates. | Vibrations; temperature changes; electromagnetic interference. | Relocate scale away from sources of interference. Ensure stable environment. |
