Operating Instructions

Basic Weighing

1. Ensure the scale is on a level surface and powered on.
2. Wait for the display to show "0.0".
3. Gently place the item to be weighed onto the center of the stainless steel platform.
4. Read the weight displayed on the LCD screen.

Changing Units

The iBalance 2600 supports multiple weighing units including grams (g), ounces (oz), pounds (lb), troy ounces (ozt), pennyweights (dwt), carats (ct), and grains (gn).

• Press the UNITS button repeatedly to cycle through the available weighing units.
• The selected unit will be indicated on the display.

Tare Function

The Tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so only the net weight of the contents is measured.

1. Place an empty container on the weighing platform.
2. Press the Z (Zero/Tare) button. The display will reset to "0.0".
3. Add the items to be weighed into the container. The display will show only the weight of the items.
4. To clear the tare, remove the container from the platform and press the Z button again.

Counting Function (PCS)

The Piece Counting function allows you to count a large number of identical items.

1. Place a sample quantity of items (e.g., 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces) on the platform.
2. Press and hold the PCS button until "PCS" appears on the display.
3. The display will prompt you to select the sample size (e.g., "10", "20", "50", "100"). Use the UNITS button to select the correct sample size corresponding to the number of items you placed.
4. Press the PCS button again to confirm the sample size. The scale will now display the count of the sample.
5. You can now add more items, and the scale will display the total count.
6. To exit counting mode, press the UNITS button.

Calibration

Calibration ensures the accuracy of your scale. It is recommended to calibrate the scale periodically or if you suspect inaccurate readings. A 2000 gram calibration weight is required (not included).

1. Ensure the scale is on a level surface and there is nothing on the platform.
2. Turn the scale OFF.
3. Press and hold the UNITS button, then press the Power button simultaneously. Release both buttons when "CAL" appears on the display.
4. The display will show "2000g" (or the required calibration weight).
5. Carefully place a 2000 gram calibration weight onto the center of the platform.
6. The display will show "PASS" and then return to normal weighing mode, indicating successful calibration.
7. Remove the calibration weight.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the scale surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the scale in water. The stainless steel platform can be removed for separate cleaning.
• Storage: Store the scale in a clean, dry environment away from dust and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: If the display becomes dim or the scale does not power on with batteries, replace all 6 AA batteries.
