4. Product Components
4.1 Scale Platform
The scale platform is the main weighing surface. It features non-slip rubber pads to ensure stability for refrigerant tanks and prevent rolling or sliding during use.
4.2 Wired Remote Control
The remote control connects to the scale platform via a coiled cable. It houses the LCD display and control buttons, allowing for convenient operation and reading from a distance. An integrated 120° adjustable stand provides flexible viewing angles.
5. Setup
5.1 Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the wired remote control.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert the included 9V dry battery, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
5.2 Scale Placement
Place the scale platform on a firm, flat, and level surface. An uneven surface can lead to inaccurate measurements. Ensure there are no obstructions beneath the scale that could interfere with its stability.
6. Operation
6.1 Power On/Off
- To power on the scale, press the ON/OFF button on the remote control. The LCD display will illuminate.
- To power off the scale, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the display turns off.
6.2 Zeroing (Tare Function)
Before weighing a refrigerant tank, it is crucial to zero the scale to exclude the weight of the empty container.
- With the scale powered on and nothing on the platform, press the Z/T (ZERO/TARE) button. The display will show '0.000' or '0.00' indicating it has been zeroed.
- If you place an empty tank on the scale and then press Z/T, the display will reset to zero, allowing you to measure only the added refrigerant.
6.3 Unit Conversion
The scale supports multiple units of measurement.
- Press the UNIT button to cycle through the available units: KG (kilograms), OZ (ounces), and LB (pounds).
- Select the desired unit before or during the weighing process.
6.4 Backlight Function
- Press the LAMP button to turn the LCD backlight on or off. This improves visibility in low-light conditions.
6.5 Automatic Functions
- Auto Shut-off: The scale will automatically power off after 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.
- Backlight Auto Screen-off: The LCD backlight will turn off after 3 minutes of no operation.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Battery Care
To prolong battery life and prevent potential damage from leakage, remove the 9V dry battery from the remote control if the scale will not be used for an extended period (e.g., several weeks or months).
7.2 Cleaning
Wipe the scale platform and remote control with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or immerse the unit in water. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storage or next use.
7.3 Storage
When not in use, store the refrigerant scale and its remote control in the provided waterproof and dustproof plastic carrying case. Ensure the case buckles are securely fastened to protect the components from environmental factors and physical damage.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your VEVOR Refrigerant Scale, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate Readings | Scale not on a level surface; scale not zeroed; battery low. | Ensure scale is on a flat, stable surface. Press Z/T to zero the scale before weighing. Replace battery if low. |
| Display shows 'FULL' | Weight exceeds maximum capacity. | Immediately remove the item from the scale to prevent damage. Do not exceed 220 lbs (100 kg). |
| Display not working / No power | Battery not installed correctly; battery depleted; loose cable connection. | Check battery installation and polarity. Replace the 9V battery. Ensure the coiled cable is securely connected to both the platform and remote. |
| Backlight not working | Backlight turned off; auto screen-off activated; low battery. | Press the LAMP button to turn it on. If it turns off automatically, it's due to the energy-saving feature. Replace battery if low. |
