Normal Weighing Mode and Tare

1. Power on the scale by pressing the ZERO/ON/OFF key.

2. When the display stabilizes, press ZERO/ON/OFF to set new zero point.

3. Place objects on the scale platform and read the weight on the indicator.
   Note: Objects should be placed at the center of the platform. Corner or side loading heavy objects can damage the scale.

4. To change the weight unit of measure, press and release the UNIT/DATA key.

5. To send data to another device via the serial port, press and release the PRINT/FUNC key.

6. Power off the scale by pressing and holding the ZERO/ON/OFF key for 4 seconds.

Setting a Tare Weight

1. Zero the scale as described above.
2.  Place an empty container on the platform and press the TARE/PRESET key. The display will return to zero, eliminating the weight of the container. The NET indicator will be lit on the display.
3. Put the material or object to be weighed in the container. The net weight will be displayed.
4. To exit tare mode, remove all weight from the scale. The display will show a negative weight. Press the TARE/PRESET key to return the display to zero, eliminating the weight of the container.

Setting a Pre-Determined Tare Weight

1. Zero the scale as described above.

2. Press and hold the TARE/PRESET key until and the NET indicator flashes and “Pr.Tare” shows in the display.

3. Input the tare weight using the arrow keys. After inputting the tare weight, press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm. The NET indicator will be lit on the display.
   Note: Tare weight must be greater than zero and less than the scale’s maximum capacity.

4. Put the material or object to be weighed onto the scale platform. The net weight will be displayed.

5. To exit tare mode, remove all weight from the scale. The display will show a negative weight. Press the TARE/PRESET key to return the display to zero, eliminating the weight of the container.

Note: The indicator can only save one tare weight. Entering a new tare weight will automatically replace the old one.
Hold (Dynamic Weighing) Mode
The hold or dynamic weighing function allows weighing of moving objects, such as live animals, by freezing the display value to a steady weight; it would otherwise be unsteady due to object movement. This function can be used in normal weighing mode, counting mode, and percent weighing mode.

1. To enter HOLD mode, press and release the HOLD/SETUP key.
2. Place the material or object to be weighed onto the scale platform. The HOLD indicator on the display will flash for up to 3 seconds. It will then stop flashing and the weight will be displayed.
3. The material or object can be removed and the next item can be weighed without pressing any buttons.
4. To exit HOLD mode, press and release the HOLD/SETUP key.

The default hold mode described above is AUTO HOLD. Within this mode, the scale will capture the fluctuating weight data at a rate of 10Hz during the data collection time (default of 3 seconds). It will then display the average value once the scale has reached stability (HOLD no longer flashes).
To reach stability, the weight must be greater than the minimum HOLD weight (default of 10d, where d = the scale’s readability, see specifications) and the fluctuation must be within the HOLD range (default of 5d). Once the held weight has been reached, a new weight will automatically register only if the weight has changed by more than the HOLD range. If a stable value is not reached within the stabilization time (default of 9 seconds), the scale will display “STB.ER”. Press the TARE/PRESET key to HOLD again, or press the HOLD/SETUP key to exit HOLD mode.
The values of the above parameters can be changed from their defaults within User Setup mode. The following additional HOLD modes are also available through User Setup mode.

• Positive Peak HOLD mode – Holds and displays the largest positive value from the zeroed point. In Peak HOLD mode, both PEAK and HOLD indicators on the display will be lit.
• Negative Peak HOLD mode – Holds and displays the largest negative value from the zeroed point. This mode has limited practical value, but is available for specialized applications. In Peak HOLD mode, both PEAK and HOLD indicators on the display will be lit.
• Toggle HOLD mode – Holds and displays an instantaneous value. Pressing HOLD/SETUP while the weight is fluctuating will capture and display the value at that moment, but not an average, maximum, or minimum value. Pressing HOLD/SETUP again will exit HOLD and return to the fluctuating value.
• Average HOLD mode – Holds and displays an average value. The scale will capture the fluctuating weight data during the data collection time and display the average value once the scale has reached stability. This is similar to the default AUTO HOLD mode, but where the material or object can be removed and the next item can be weighed without pressing any buttons in AUTO HOLD mode, Average HOLD mode requires the HOLD/SETUP key to be pressed each time and pressed again to exit.

Accumulation Mode

The accumulation function allows storage of weighed values and the summation of those values. This function can accumulate weights, piece counts, and percentages in normal weighing mode, counting mode, and percent weighing mode respectively.

1. With an object on the scale, press and release the ACC/TOTAL key to add the displayed value to the accumulated total. The indicator will first display the number of accumulation instances (e.g. if this is the 5th accumulated value, it will display a 5), and then display the accumulated sum total thus far.
   Note: Only loads exceeding the minimum weight (default of 10d, where d = the scale’s readability, see specifications) can be accumulated. This setting (USER-OTHER-NLD.RNG) can be modified from its default within User Setup mode, but changes will impact other functions such as HOLD.

2. Remove the load and place another load to continue accumulating, pressing and releasing ACC/TOTAL to add each value.
   Note: To avoid duplicating a value for a same load, the accumulation function requires the original load to be removed (platform weight to drop below the minimum weight) before a new value can be accumulated.

3. To view the total accumulated data at any time, remove the platform load and press and hold the ACC/TOTAL key for 4 seconds. The indicator will first display the number of instances and then the accumulated sum total thus far. Accumulated instances and total values can be displayed or sent to another device via the serial port by pressing and releasing the PRINT/FUNC key.

4. To clear and reset the accumulated data, press and release the ZERO/ON/OFF key while total accumulated data is being displayed.

Note: When the HOLD function is enabled and working in PEAK HOLD mode, the accumulation function will automatically be disabled.
Check Weighing (Data Compare) Mode
The check weighing or data compare function allows the user to input a pre-set range, and the display will indicate whether the weighed value is within that range, or indicate if it is too high or too low. This function can be used in normal weighing mode, counting mode, and percent weighing mode.

1. From normal weighing, counting or percent weighing modes, press and hold the UNIT/DATA key for 4 seconds to input the comparative data range.

2. “UNIT.KG” will be displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the comparison unit of measure. Press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm.

3. HIGH will be shown and 000000 will be displayed. The Hi indicator on the display will be lit. Use the arrow keys to input the upper limit of the range (weight, piece quantity, or percentage depending on initial mode) and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm and move to the next step.

4. Low will be shown and 000000 will be displayed. The Lo indicator on the display will be lit. Use the arrow keys to input the lower limit of the range and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm. Press ZERO/ON/OFF key to exit and go back to the previous mode (weight, piece quantity, or percentage).
   NOTE: If the upper limit is 0, or if it is less than or equal to the lower limit, check weighing mode will automatically be exited.

5. After an acceptable range has been set, check weighing may begin. If the weighed value is within the specified range, OK will be displayed on the indicator and an audible beep will sound. If the value is outside the specified range, HI or LO will be displayed with no audible beep. Audible beep parameters can be changed from their defaults within User Setup mode.

6. To switch between weighing mode, counting mode, and percent weighing mode within check weighing, press and hold the PRINT/FUNC key for 4 seconds, select the desired mode, and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm.

7. To turn check weighing off, follow the above instructions and change the upper limit to zero..

Counting Mode

The counting function calculates and displays the piece quantity of the load that is being weighed.

1. From normal weighing mode or percent-weighing mode, press and hold the PRINT/FUNC key for 4 seconds and
   WEIGH/PERCEN will be shown. Use the up and down arrow keys to select COUNT, then press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm and enter counting mode.
   Note: In counting mode, the ZERO, TARE, PRINT, HOLD, PRESET TARE, ACC, SETUP, and ON/OFF functions are all available.

2. There are two ways to input the piece weight.
   a. To input a known piece weight directly:
   i. Press the UNIT/DATA key. When InP.PWt is shown, press the TARE/PRESET key to enter “Input Piece Weight” mode.
   Note: At any time you can press ZERO/ON/OFF to exit “Input Piece Weight” and return to counting mode.

   iii. The previously entered piece weight will be shown. Use the arrow keys to input a new piece weight, then press and hold the HOLD/SETUP key for 4 seconds to input the decimal point. Press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm and return to counting mode.
   Note: If the input piece weight is less than 0.5d (where d = the scale’s readability, see specifications), the indicator will display PWt.Er and will automatically return to counting mode.
   b. To input the piece weight by weighing a sample of a known quantity:
   i. Press the UNIT/DATA key. When InP.PWt is shown, use the up and down arrow keys to select SPL.PWT. Press the TARE/PRESET key to enter “Get Piece Weight” mode.
   Note: At any time you can press ZERO/ON/OFF to exit “Get Piece Weight” and return to counting mode.
   ii. When SPL.Lo is shown, remove any load from the platform and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm. If the scale hasn’t stabilized, SPL.Lo will flash. After it has stabilized, it will go to the next step.
   iii. When SPL.Hi is shown, place a sample of a known quantity onto the scale platform and press the TARE/PRESET key to read the weight. If the scale hasn’t stabilized, SPL.Hi will flash. After it has stabilized, it will go to the next step.
   iv. When INP.PCS is shown, 000000 will be displayed. Use the arrow keys to input the sample quantity and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm.
   Note: If the input piece weight is less than 0.5d (where d = the scale’s readability, see specifications), the indicator will display PWt.Er and will automatically return to counting mode.
   v. Once an acceptable piece weight has been entered, the scale will return to counting mode.

Note: The piece weight that has been entered will be saved, even after powering off. The indicator can only save one piece weight. Entering a new piece weight will automatically replace the old one.

Percent Weighing Mode

The percent weighing function shows the weight of an item relative to a stored reference weight, expressed as a percentage. In this mode, the scale will weigh the load and calculate and display its value as a percentage of the reference weight.

1. From normal weighing mode or counting mode, press and hold the PRINT/FUNC key for 4 seconds and WEIGH/COUNT will be shown. Use the up and down arrow keys to select PERCEN, then press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm and enter percent weighing mode.
   Note: In percent weighing mode, the ZERO, TARE, PRINT, HOLD, PRESET TARE, ACC, SETUP, and ON/OFF functions are all available.

2. There are two ways to input the stored reference weight.

a. To input a percentage and input weight directly:
i. Press the UNIT/DATA key. When InP.Pct is shown, press the TARE/PRESET key to enter “Input Percent” mode.
Note: At any time you can press ZERO/ON/OFF to exit “Input Percent” and return to percent weighing mode.
ii. Before entering a weight, use the up and down arrow keys to select 100%. This percentage will correspond to the weight you will input in next step. Percentages from 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% or 100% may be selected. For a reference weight of 80kg, for example, you could select 100% in this step and enter 80kg in the following step, or enter 50% here and 40kg in the following steps.
iii. When UNIT.KG is shown, use the up and down arrow keys to select the input weight unit of measure, then use the TARE/PRESET key to confirm and go to next step.
iv. The previously entered input weight will be shown. Use the arrow keys to enter the new input weight, then press and hold the HOLD/SETUP key for 4 seconds to input the decimal point. Press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm and return to percent weighing mode.
Note: If the reference weight is less than 0.5d (where d = the scale’s readability, see specifications), the indicator will display Pct.Er and will automatically return to percent weighing mode.
b. To input the stored reference weight by weighing a sample of a known percentage:
i. Press the UNIT/DATA key. When InP.Pct is shown, use the up and down arrow keys to select SPL.Pct. Press the TARE/PRESET key to weigh samples of a known percentage and enter “Get Piece Weight” mode.
Note: At any time you can press ZERO/ON/OFF to exit “Get Piece Weight” and return to percent weighing mode.
ii. When SPL.Lo is shown, remove any load from the platform and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm. If the scale hasn’t stabilized, SPL.Lo will flash. After it has stabilized, it will go to the next step.
iii. When SPL.Hi is shown, place a sample of a known quantity and percentage onto the scale platform and press the TARE/PRESET key to read the weight. If the scale hasn’t stabilized, SPL.Hi will flash. After it has stabilized, it will go to the next step.
iv. When INP.PCT is shown, 000000 will be displayed. Use the arrow keys to input the percentage of samples sample quantity and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm.
Note: If the reference weight is less than 0.5d (where d = the scale’s readability, see specifications), the indicator will display Pct.Er and will automatically return to percent weighing mode.
v. Once an acceptable reference weight has been entered, the scale will return to percent weighing mode.
Note: The reference weight will be saved, even after powering off. The indicator can only save one percentage reference weight.
Entering a new percentage reference weight will automatically replace the old one.

   Better linearity will be achieved by calibrating to a second and third point.

8. “CAL.P2” will be displayed and the scale will be ready to accept the next calibration point. The default calibration input weight is 100% of the scale’s rated capacity. Use the arrow keys adjust the input value to the standard calibration weight you will use.
   Note: CAL.P2 must be larger than CAL.P1. Do not use less than 20% of the scale’s rated capacity. Place the standard calibration weight on the platform and press the TARE/PRESET key to confirm your input and move to the next step. If “CAL.Er” is displayed, press ZERO/ON/OFF key to exit this mode and begin again.

9. “End.y” will be shown and y will be flashing. To do a third point of calibration, select no, press TARE/PRESET to confirm, and repeat step 8 for“CAL.P3”.
   Note: CAL.P3 must be larger than CAL.P2. Do not use less than 30% of the scale’s rated capacity. Otherwise, select yes and remove weight and press TARE/PRESET to confirm and exit.

10. Press ZERO/ON/OFF to exit setup. Calibration is now complete.

Serial Communication Details
Note:

• COM1 is RS232. TXD1, RXD1 and GND communication wires are used.
• COM2 is USB. USB driver is available at http://www.measuretek.net
• Baud rate and byte format can be changed from their defaults within User Setup mode.
• Responses to serial commands are immediate or within one weight measure cycle. One second should be adequate as a time-out value by remote (controlling) device.

Transmission data lengths are as follows for each string:

• Read data – 6bytes
• Data polarity – 1byte: “-” for negative, followed the first digit; “ ” for positive
• Decimal point – 1byte: “.”
• Measure unit – 1-5bytes: “ lb”, “ kg”, “lb:oz”, “pcs”, “%”; units are always lower case and left aligned
• Current status – 4bytes

If over capacity, the scale will return eight “^” characters.
If under capacity, the scale will return eight “_” characters.
If there is an error in the zeroing of the scale, it will return eight “-” characters.
Leading zeroes before significant digits are suppressed. Reading weight is right aligned.
