Description

EPS series portable electronic scales are precision weighing instruments. The portable advanced scale consists of a housing constructed of a material which is impact resistant, a one piece solid-state precision electronic PC board with a 5 digit LCD displayer which is 0.5 inches in height and a strain gauge load cell inside. All portable balances are initially factory set to measure in grams and can be set to other units of measure as desired. Each balance operates through a series of menus that enable precise calibration and the selection of various parameters that enhances operation. A built in lock switch prevents calibration settings from being changed. Power is supplied through an AC adapter or batteries.

Setup menus

Press and hold the “MODE” key for 3 seconds to access the setup menu, continue to press the “UNIT” key to make selection “A. OFF”(automatic power off), “CAL ON”(calibration) ，“END”(exit menu) and “UNIT”. In this process, you can press “TARE” key to access a submenu, and exit the menu by another touch on “TARE” when “END” appears.
The unit selection submenu permits you to specify which weighing units and operating modes will be enabled for use during operation. The adjacent table lists the units and modes available on the EPS series balances. Proceed as Follows:

• Press “MODE” key for 3 seconds to access the setup menu, the display will show “UNIT”.

• Press “TARE” key, the display will show the grams unit indicator (g) along with the current status (ON/OFF).

• Press “UNIT” to change the status.

• Press “TARE” to accept the displayed status, when released, the display will show the next unit indicator along with the current status.

• Set each unit or mode ON or OFF as in steps c and d.

• After finishing units setting, press “TARE” and the balance display” UNIT”, press the “unit” key continuously to find the setup menus displayed in circle. Press “TARE” when “END” appears to exit setup menu.

Calibration
When precise weighing is necessary, please calibrate the scales as follows:

• With no load on the pan, press and hold the “MODE” key for 3 seconds, the scale will display “UNIT” indicating accessing the setup menu.
• Press “UNIT” key twice to access the “CAL ON” submenu.
• Press “TARE” key to confirm. The scale will display “SCALE” or “LINE” that can be shifted by pressing the “UNIT” key. “SCALE” means sensitivity calibration and “LINE” indicates linearity calibration of the scale. Press “TARE” to confirm the desired calibration option.

Sensitivity Calibration

When the display shows “SCALE”, press “TARE” key to find the currently required calibrated mass displayed on the screen. Press “UNIT” key once again shift between the two optional calibrated masses. Pressing “TARE” key to confirm one of the two desired for calibration, zero first flashes on the displayer, then automatically shifts to flashing value of the calibrated mass. Put the corresponding calibrated weight on the pan and wait for a few seconds until the displayer stops flashing and shows the value of the calibrating mass that indicates calibration finishes and normal weighing can be done.

Linearity calibration
When the scale displays “LINE”, press “TARE” key to see the scale flashes. Wait for a few seconds, the scale flashes half of the value of the full load specified. Put onto the pan the calibrated mass corresponding to the value displayed. The scale then flashes the value of the required calibrated mass for full load a few seconds later. Put on the corresponding weight to wait till the scale stops flashing and displays the value of the calibrated mass loaded, thus the calibration finishes, normal weighing can be done.
Remark: Scales are factory calibrated. When linearity calibration is necessary or a load cell is replaced, please use an accurately calibrated mass to calibrate the scale.
