Introduction

This instruction manual provides detailed information for the safe and efficient operation of your Bonvoisin Digital Crane Scale 5000kg/11000lb. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the scale to ensure proper function and to prevent damage or injury. Keep this manual for future reference.

Safety Information

• Always ensure the scale is securely attached to a suitable lifting mechanism capable of supporting the maximum load capacity (5000kg/11000lb) plus the scale's own weight.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated capacity of the scale. Overloading can cause damage to the scale and potential safety hazards.
• Inspect the scale, hooks, and shackles for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion before each use. Do not use if damaged.
• Ensure the load is balanced and stable before lifting. Avoid sudden movements or impacts.
• Keep hands and body clear of suspended loads.
• Operate the scale within its specified temperature and environmental conditions.
• Use only the specified battery type (3 AA batteries) and ensure correct polarity.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the scale yourself. Refer to qualified service personnel.

Setup

1. Battery Installation:

   Locate the battery compartment on the back of the scale. Insert 3 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the battery compartment securely.

2. Attachment:

   Attach the upper shackle/ring of the crane scale to a secure and appropriately rated lifting device (e.g., crane hook, hoist). Ensure the connection is tight and secure.

   Attach the load to be weighed to the lower hook/ring of the crane scale. Verify that the load is properly secured and balanced.

3. Initial Power On:

   Press the ON/OFF button on the scale to power it on. The display will illuminate and show "0.00" or similar, indicating it is ready for use.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

• To turn on: Press the ON/OFF button on the scale.
• To turn off: Press the ON/OFF button on the scale, or use the remote control's power button. Note: The remote control cannot turn the scale on.

2. Unit Switching (KG/LB)

• To switch between Kilograms (KG) and Pounds (LB): Press and hold the HOLD key on the scale until the unit changes. The display will cycle through available units (KG, LB).

3. Peak Function

• The Peak Function records and displays the maximum weight reached during a loading process.
• To activate/deactivate Peak Hold: Press the PEAK button on the scale. When active, a "PEAK" indicator may appear on the display.
• Example: If loads of 23.6lb, 53.6lb, and 24.8lb are applied sequentially, the scale will display 53.6lb as the peak load.

4. Hold Function

• The Hold Function allows you to save the most recent stable weight reading on the display, even after the load is removed.
• To activate/deactivate Hold: Press the HOLD button on the scale. When active, a "HOLD" indicator may appear.

5. Tare Function

• To tare the scale (zero out the weight of a container or attachment): With nothing on the hook, or with the container/attachment already on the hook, press the TARE button. The display will reset to "0.00".

6. Adjustable Backlight Duration

• The scale features an adjustable backlight duration and an auto power-off timer. Consult the full product manual (if available) or contact support for specific instructions on adjusting these settings. This feature helps conserve battery life and prevents unexpected shutdowns during operation.

7. Horizontal Pull Force Measurement

• The scale is designed with two sealed rings at the top and bottom, making it suitable for measuring horizontal pull force in addition to vertical hanging weight. Ensure proper and secure attachment for horizontal applications.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Clean the scale with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the scale in a dry, clean environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the scale's body, hooks, and rings for any signs of damage, cracks, or deformation. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears on the display or when the scale fails to power on.
