5. Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the balance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Placement: Place the balance on a firm, level, and stable surface, free from vibrations, drafts, and direct sunlight. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
3. Leveling: The balance is equipped with adjustable feet and a bubble level (usually located near the display). Rotate the adjustable feet until the bubble is centered within the circle, indicating the balance is perfectly level. This is crucial for accurate measurements.
4. Power Connection:
   • AC Power: Connect the provided power adapter to the DC input port on the back of the balance, then plug it into a suitable power outlet.
   • Battery Power: If using batteries, open the battery compartment on the underside of the balance and insert 4 AA dry batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
5. Initial Power On: Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the balance. The display will typically show "0.00g" after a brief self-check.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On/Off

• To turn on the balance, press the ON/OFF button.
• To turn off the balance, press and hold the ON/OFF button for a few seconds until the display turns off.

6.2. Basic Weighing

1. Ensure the balance is on a stable surface and displaying "0.00g". If not, press the TARE/CAL button to zero the display.
2. Gently place the item to be weighed on the center of the stainless steel weighing plate.
3. Wait for the reading to stabilize (indicated by a stable reading on the display, usually within 3 seconds).
4. Read the weight displayed on the LED screen.

6.3. Tare Function

The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container or other object, so only the net weight of the substance inside is measured.

1. Place the empty container on the weighing plate. The display will show its weight.
2. Press the TARE/CAL button. The display will reset to "0.00g".
3. Add the substance you wish to weigh into the container. The display will now show only the weight of the substance.

6.5. Piece Counting

This function allows you to count a large number of small, identical items by weight.

1. Ensure the balance is displaying "0.00g".
2. Press the PCS button. The display may show a prompt like "10 PCS" or "20 PCS".
3. Place a known quantity of items (e.g., 10, 20, 50, or 100 pieces) on the weighing plate, corresponding to the displayed prompt.
4. Press the PCS button again to confirm the sample quantity. The balance will now calculate the average weight per piece.
5. Remove the sample pieces. The display should return to "0 PCS".
6. Place the bulk quantity of items you wish to count on the weighing plate. The display will show the total number of pieces.

Note: For accurate piece counting, ensure every sample object has a consistent weight. Individual differences should be within 5%.

6.6. Calibration

Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your balance. This model requires an external calibration weight (not included).

1. Ensure the balance is on a stable surface and powered on.
2. Refer to the specific calibration procedure outlined in the quick start guide or on the device itself, as procedures can vary. Typically, this involves pressing and holding the TARE/CAL button until "CAL" appears, then placing the specified calibration weight on the plate.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the calibration process.
4. Once calibration is complete, the balance will return to normal weighing mode.

7. Maintenance

• Cleaning:
  • Wipe the stainless steel weighing plate and ABS housing with a soft, damp cloth.
