AVAWEIGH 334PCN10 Digital Portion Control Scale
INTRODUCTION
General and Safety Information
- For use in dry enviroments only.
- Read and understand all operating instructions before using this product. Keep manual for future reference.
- Allow sufficient warm up time. Turn the scale on and allow up to 10 minutes for internal components to stablize before weighing.
- Record the weight shortly after placing a load on the platter. Leaving loads in place for extended periods may vary the load cell’s output signature and may result in a less accurate reading.
- Avoid extended exposure to extreme heat or cold. Optimum operation is at normal room temperature. See the operating temperature range in the specifications table. Allow the scale to acclimate to room temperature before using.
- When storing the scale for extended periods, the battery must be charged every 90 days to avoid premature performance degradation. Over time, the operating time per charge will degrade. If the operating time is no longer acceptable even after recharging, the battery must be replaced.
- Electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers, or other electronic devices that emit radio frequencies that may cause unstable readings.

CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS
INDICATIOR DISPLAY CHARACTER DEFINITIONS
FRONT DISPLAY
- – Scale is zeroed, gross weight is 0, tare is 0.
- – Scale is stable.
- NET – Display reading is net weight; tare is not 0.
- lb – Measure unit is lb or lb:oz
- oz – Measure unit is 0z or lb:oz
- KG- Measure unit is kg
- – Battery level.
- HI – Data compare (check-weighing) is enabled. Current data (weight, pieces, or percent) is above the specified upper limit.
- OK – Data compare is enabled. Current data is between the specified upper and lower limits.
- LO – Data compare is enabled. Current data is below the specified lower limit.
KEY FUNCTIONS
OPERATION
POWER ON / POWER OFF SCALE
-
Place the scale on a flat, table surface. Level the scale using the leveling bubble at the lower left side of the display.
-
With the weighing platter empty, press the ON/OFF/ZERO key to power on the scale.
The self-check will run, show the version number “V01.00”, display full capacity e.g. “CAP-xx”, at last, the scale will display a zero reading. -
To power off the scale, press and hold ON/OFF/ZERO key.
ZEROING THE DISPLAY
- You can press the ON/OFF/ZERO key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing is measured. When the zero point is obtained, the display will show the indicator for zero.
- ZERO key range is (power-on zero-point)±2% FS. ZERO function is only activated when the scale is in a steady weighing mode. This also clears the recorded tare weight, the ZERO indicator will be lit up, while the NET indicator will be off.
NORMAL WEIGHING MODE
- When scale is powered on and back to 0, place the weighing objects on the platform. The display will show the weight and the units of weight currently in use.
TARING
- Zero the scale by pressing ON/OFF/ZERO key if necessary when reading is stable. The zero indicator will be on.
- Place container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed.
- Press the TARE key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The “NET” indicator will be on. As product is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
- When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container this value is the gross weight of the container plus all product that was removed. The zero indicator will also be on because the platform is back to the same condition it was when the ON/OFF/ZERO key was last pressed.
SWITCHING MEASURING UNIT
- In normal weighing mode, press and hold UNIT key to switch the measuring units betweek lb, kg, g, oz, lb:oz.
CHECK WEIGHING (DATA COMPARE)
- Check-weighing is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound whent the weight on the scale meets or exceeds values stored in memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low limit. Either limit can be used or both can be used.
- In normal weighing mode, press the HI/LO key, the display will show “COMP”, then set the high and low limitation as per the following steps.
- Press the PRINT key to increase the digit in the flashing data enrty position by one.
- Press the HI/LO key to decrease the digit in the flashing data enrty position by one.
- Press the UNIT key to shift the flashing data entry position from left to right.
- Press the TARE key to confirm the input data.
- Press the ON/OFF/ZERO key to exit the mode and back to normal weighing mode.
After pressing the TARE key, the scale will return to weighing with the Checkweighing function enabled. When a weight is placed on the scale the HI/OK/LO symbol will be shown if the weight is above or below the limits and beeper function will sound as described below.
-
BOTH LIMITS SET
The display will show “OK” when the weight is between the limits. -
LOW LIMIT SET, HIGH LIMIT IS SET TO ZERO
The display will show “OK”when the weight is higher than the Low Limit. Above the High Limit the display will show “LO”. -
HIGH LIMIT SET, LOW IS SET GREATER THAN HIGH
The display will show “OK” when teh weight is less than the High Limit. Above the high limit, the displau will show”HI”.
NOTE: Beeper sound works depending on how the Cbz xxx in user manual is set.
SET REAL-TIME-CLOCK
In normal weighing mode, press and hold UNIT key until RTC is displayed, “XX.XX.XX” will be displayed, use below keys to alter date settings.
- Press the PRINT key to increase the digit in the flashing data entry position by one.
- Press the HI/LO key to decrease the digit in the flashing data entry position by one.
- Press the UNIT key to shift the flashing data entry position from left to right.
- Press the TARE key to confirm the input data.
- Press the ON/OFF/ZERO key to exit the mode and back to normal weighing mode.
When “XX.XX.XX” is displayed, follow the above same operations to do the same
TIME setting.
After the date and time is set correctly, the scale will automatically return
to the normal weighing mode. Otherwise, it remains in real-time-clock setting
mode.
SET ITEM CODE
In normal weighing mode, press and hold PRINT key until ITMC xx is
displayed xx, is the item code (range 00 – 39, correspond to a product name
with max length of 20 char) and will be stored in scale after setting. Use
below keys to do the item Code setting.
- Press the PRINT key to increase the digit in the flashing data enrty position by one.
- Press the HI/LO key to decrease the digit in the flashing data enrty position by one.
- Press the UNIT key to shift the flashing data entry position from left to right.
- Press the TARE key to confirm the input data.
- Press the ON/OFF/ZERO key to exit the mode and back to normal weighing mode.
DOWNLOAD PRODUCT NAMES TO SCALE VIA SCALE MATE SOFTWARE
- Open the scale mate software, input the product name. The edited information can be saved as “.xls” file.
- Connect the scale with the computer via RS232 port, then power on the scale. Normally, the scale will be automatically connected to the computer and shows”This scale is connected”. If not click the “Serial” menu on the software to set the baud rate to 9600 and Data to 8N1, then confirm by clicking “open port”.
- Open the edited “.xls” file click “download” in serial menu to download the product names into the scale.
DATA OUTPUT (PRINT)
Whe reading is stable, press PRINT to output data via the RS232 port to PC
or OS- 2130D printer.
- RS232 output baud rate: 9600bps
- Data: 8N1 (8 dta bits, 1 stop bit, 1 start bit)
- Printout format in HOST mode (a PC is connected):
- Date: x x – xx – xx
- Time: x x : xx : xx
- P.No: xx ( item code)
- P.NM: xxxxxxxx ( product name)
- Gross: x.xxx uu (uu = kg, g, lb, oz)
- Tare: x.xxx uu (uu = kg, g, lb, oz)
- Net: x .xxx uu ( uu = kg, g, lb, oz)
- Printout format when OS-2130D printer is connected (example):
USER SUBMENU
- When the scale is on, press ON/OFF/ZERO and UNIT keys till USER is displayed, then release the two keys.
