Troubleshooting

Scale not turning on

Check that the power adapter is securely connected and the outlet is functioning. If using batteries, ensure they are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge.

Inaccurate readings

Ensure the scale is on a level, stable surface. Remove any vibrations or drafts. Allow the scale to re-zero (`tare`) before weighing. Consider recalibration if the issue persists.

RS232 interface not communicating

Verify the RS232 cable is properly connected at both ends. Ensure the correct communication settings (baud rate, data bits, etc.) are configured on both the scale and the connected device. Consult the user manual for specific settings.

Parts counting function is incorrect

Ensure you have entered the correct sample weight for the parts being counted. Verify that all counted parts are identical and of the same weight.

  • Flexible operation with mains or battery power.
  • Accommodates various item sizes with its large weighpan.
  • International plug compatibility for diverse environments.

Cons

  • Limited operating temperature range (+5°C to +35°C).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the scale is placed on a stable, level surface away from drafts or vibrations. Connect the appropriate power adapter (ensure it matches your local voltage) or insert batteries. Allow the scale to acclimate to the ambient temperature for at least 30 minutes before initial use, especially if moved from a significantly different environment. For data transfer, connect an RS232 cable to the scale and your computer/printer.

Compatibility: The scale operates within a temperature range of +5°C to +35°C. It supports multiple plug types (Type B, C, G). Ensure any connected peripherals (printers, computers) are compatible with the RS232 interface.

Care: Clean the weighpan with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or immersing the scale in water. For recalibration, refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer. Ensure the scale is protected from excessive moisture and dust.
