To avoid electrical shock or damage of the scale or connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow the security rules below. • All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only. • To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with the scale). Pay attention that supply voltage is compatible with specified technical data. • Do not use the scale when its cover is opened. • Do not use the scale in explosive conditions. • Do not use the scale in high humidity. • If the scale seems not to operate properly, unplug it from the mains and do not use until checked by authorised service. 6. Environment protection According to legal regulations it if forbidden to dispose wasted electronic equipment in waste containers. • Please return wasted scale to the point of purchase or other company specialised in recycling of wasted electronic components.

removing protective foils. 2. Take a pan off and remove protective elements from below the pan. 3. Place the scale on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows. 4. Level the scale with the rotating rear legs so that the air bubble in the water-level at the back of the scale is in the middle. 8. Start-up Leave the pan empty, plug the feeder to the mains (~230V/50Hz) and plug the feeder connector to the 12V power socket at the back of the scale. The scale proceeds with following start-up actions: Display test. Basic electronic components tests: C1, C-2, ... C-6. Program version. The scale is now ready to work. Correct Wrong

1. Before each measurement make sure that zero indicator is displayed. If zero indicator does not displayed or “----“ communicate appears, press →0← key and wait until zero indication and zero indicator appears. 2. The scale is equipped with a tare equal to its range. To tare the scale press →T← key (left or right). Storing a tare value does not extend measuring range, but only subtracts it from a load placed on a pan. To make weight control easier and to avoid range overdrawing, the scale is equipped with a load indicator (graduated in percentages). 3. Weighing result should be read when the indicator " " lights, which signalises stabilisation of a result. 4. When the scale is not used but it is necessary to be ready to work immediately, it can be switched off by pressing I/ key. The scale reading system is then switched off to "standby" mode (signalled by the indicator "OFF" in version with the LCD display). To switch the scale on press I/ key. The scale is immediately ready to operate maximum accuracy (after self tests). 5. Weighed sample should be placed in the centre of the pan. 6. Protect the scale against dust, aggressive dusts and liquids. To clean the scale wash it with water with soap and dry it afterwards. 10. Balance checking It is advised to check scale indication accuracy before and after series of measurement using any load with known weight. To check the scale with legal verification use a calibration weight with valid calibration certificate. In case permissible error is exceeded it is advised to contact the nearest service to calibrate the scale. Place the scale on a platform to avoid dropping weighed objects on the pan. Do not overload the scale more then 20% of maximum load (Max).

To adjust a balance it is necessary to break protective marks, therefore to calibrate the scale please contact the nearest service. 12. Connecting a computer or a printer The scale is equipped with RS232C or RS485 (optional), which can be used to connect external devices such as a computer or a printer. When cooperating with a printer data is send automatically after result stabilisation, but next transmission is possible after removing previously weighted sample. The scale sends following information: successive number of weighing and weighing result (see: printer cooperation mode setting). The scale may be equipped with the second interface (optional) used for example for continuous weighing result transmission to an additional, external display. When cooperating with the scale, a computer should be equipped with a program which enables processing data from the scale – available in AXIS with extra charge.
