Introduction

Notice
Before you use this dynamometer, please read this manual through carefully, and keep it properly for future use.

Safety Guide
For good performance and precise measurement, be careful with daily operation and maintenance. Note the following instructions:

Do NOT overload dynamometer. This will damage loadcell and void warranty.
Do NOT leave weight loaded on dynamometer for long. This will decrease dynamometer’s accuracy and shorten loadcell’s life.
When dynamometer runs out of power, replace the battery with full ones.
Do NOT use dynamometer under thunder or rain.
Do NOT attempt to repair dynamometer yourself. Contact your local representative.

Operations

Power On/Off

Simultaneously press for 1s to power-on scale. Scale perform initialization and power-on test, shows twice, then capacity shows, battery life percentage shows weight detection shows and then auto zero.
For information about Auto-Zero, refer to Scale Configuration in Technical Manual.

Simultaneously press for 1s to power-off scale. Battery life percentage shows, off message shows, and then cut off power.
When 3 batteries voltage is lower than 3.2V, scale will auto power-off itself and display . Please replace the dead batteries with new ones.

Zero

Simultaneously press for 1s to zero. shows.
If load is in motion, or tared, or out of Manual-Zero Range, shows.
For information about Manual-Zero Range, refer to Scale Configuration in Technical Manual.

Tare In/Out

In gross mode, press to tare in. shows.
If load is in motion, or negative, or out of Tare

Range, shows.

Tare will reduce the apparent overload range of scale. For example, if a 500*0.2kg scale has a 100kg container as its tare, the scale will overload at a new weight of 401.8kg (500 – 100 + additional 9 divisions).
In net weight mode, press to tare out. disappears.

Lock/Unlock

Press to lock screenH. shows.
Press to unlock screen. H disappears.

Unit Switch

Simultaneously press for 1s to switch unit in between kg, lb, and User Unit.
When unit is kg, shows. When unit is lb, shows. When unit is User unit, shows.

For more information about User Unit, refer to Scale Configuration in Technical Manual.

Peak Hold

In weight mode, press to peak hold function,“P” shows.

Press again to exit peak mode, disappears.
In peak mode, weigh will be locked,

When the weigh is higher than the previous one, automatically display higher one and locked again.

Remark： Press twice also could unlock PEAK Function.

User Setup

Press at the same time for 1s to enter User Setup menu. shows.

Auto-Off Timing

Press to enter Auto-Off Timing. shows.
Press to change timing value.
Auto-Off Timing can be set to: (disabled), (5min),5 (10min),10 (15min), 15(30min), 30(60min). It is disabled by default.

Auto-Off function maximizes scale’s battery life against people’s carelessness not to power off scale when it’s not working.
Auto-Off starts countdown timer when there’s no action or load is stable. Any key pressing or motion in load restarts countdown timer.

Backlight Brightness

Press to enter Backlight Brightness. shows.
Press to change brightness value.
Backlight Brightness can be set to: (disabled),1 (dim)2, (normal)3(bright).

Dim backlight brightness saves battery power dramatically.

Idle Mode Timing

Press to enter Idle Mode Timing. shows.

Press to change timing value.
Idle Mode Timing can be set to: (disabled),5 (5sec),10 (10sec),15 (15sec),30 (30sec),60 (60sec). It is 30sec by default.

To maximize battery life, scale automatically enters Idle Mode, when there’s no action or the load is stable.

In Idle Mode, scale works in low-power consumption status. Any key pressing or motion in load wakes up scale from Idle Mode.

Press to exit User Setup.
