TRITON T3-400 Digital Pocket Scale
Thank you for purchasing the My Weigh® TRITON® T3-400™ digital pocket scale.
Please read all operating instructions carefully before use. This electronic
scale is a precision instrument. With normal care and proper treatment, it
will provide years of reliable service. For more information please visit
www.myweigh.com Never load the scale with more than
the maximum capacity. Although the TRITON® T3-400™ is designed to be extremely
durable with extra overload protection built into the case, overloading will
permanently damage it!
Avoid any exposure to extreme heat or cold, your scale works better when
operated at normal room temperature. Keep your scale in a clean environment.
Dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents and/or a close proximity to
other electronic equipment can all cause an adverse efiect on the reliability
and accuracy of your scale. Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be
weighed onto tray top. Avoid shaking, dropping or otherwise shocking the
scale. Scales are delicate instruments and unlike cellular phones, scales have
delicate sensors that determine how much an item weighs. If you drop or shock
your scale, these sensors “feel” the shock and are sometimes destroyed. This
happens with all digital scales. We design our scales to be as resistant to
shock or drops as possible, however there is no way for us to protect 100%
against load cell or sensor damage.
Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
Always allow the scale to acclimate to normal room temperature for at least
one hour before use. Give your scale suficient warm up time. Usually 30-60
seconds before calibration to give the internal components a chance to
stabilize.
PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THE BALANCE
- Do not overload the scale in order to protect the sensor from damages.
- Items should always be placed on the center of the platform when being weighed.
- Do not drop or shock the scale.
- Clean the scale with a damp cloth, DO NOT immerse the scale in water or use chemical/abrasive cleaning agents.
BATTERIES
Low Batteries & bad battery connections are the #1 cause of scale malfunction and inaccuracy! We test all of our scale returns from consumers and 60% of them are battery related problems. This sounds silly but it’s true! scale will perform poorly when it has low batteries. Use good quality batteries & replace them often ( Remothe batteries if you plan to store the scale for longer then 14 days). We include good quality batteries with all of our scales but they can run low in storage. If your scale simply won’t turn on while on battery power, it is of caused by loose battery connections.
Battery installation
a) Press and lift open the battery cover located at the bottom of the unit.
b) Insert the batteries and make sure the polarity is correct.
c) Close the battery cover until it clicks shut.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Weighing Procedures
- Press [ ] to turn on or offthe scale.
- Press [UNIT] to select a weighing unit g, oz , dwt, ozt, gn, ct
- Start weighing
Tare
Tare can be used for eliminating the weight value of an empty container. Place
an empty container on the scale and press [ ]. After 3 seconds place the items
to be weighed in the container.
NOTE: When all weight is removed from the weighing tray, the tared value
of a container will be displayed as a negative number. Press [ ] again to
return the scale to zero.
CALIBRATION
When to calibrate – calibration is recommended for best results.
Calibration may be required when the scale is first set up for use, or if the
scale is moved to a different altitude or new location. This is necessary
because the weight of a mass in one location is not necessarily the same in
another location. Also, with time and use, mechanical deviations can occur.
Calibration Procedure for T3-400™
you must have 2 x 200g weights in order to calibrate
- Turn the scale OFF and place it on a fiat, very stable surface (be certain the scale is OFF)
- Press the [ ] key, the display will show “0.00”.
- Press and hold the [UNIT] KEY for 5 seconds, the display will show “CAL”.
- Press [UNIT] again, the display will show “200.00g”.
- Gently place the 200g weight on the tray, the display will show “400.00”.
- Gently add another 200g weight on the tray and wait 3 seconds.
- The display will show “PASS”. Calibration is complete. Gently remove the weight and turn the scale o.
FEATURES
Weighmeter™ Technology
On the side of the display you will notice a series of bars that increase as
the load on the scale increases. This is our Weighmeter™ invention. It shows
the remaining capacity on the scale and also indicates overloading. Please use
the Weighmeter™ to monitor your weighing loads and please do not overload the
scale.
Power Up Segment Test
When first turning the unit on, the scale will run a quick diagnostic and it
will display a countdown . This display will remain for a few seconds and then
reset to zero.
Overload indicator
When the display shows “O_LD”, this indicates an overload. Remove excessive
load immediately.
Remember: you can permanently damage the scale and void your warranty by
overloading it!
Negative Value
Any tared value will be displayed as a negative number once all weight is
removed, press [ ] to re-zero the scale.
Stable Indicator
There is a stable indicator that appears on the left side of the LCD whenever
the scale is stable and at Zero Auto off An auto off feature is provided to
conserve battery power. The unit will automatically turn off after 60 seconds
of inactivity.
IPS
Impact Protection System: the scale is wrapped in an impact absorbent rubber
that helps protect the scale from shocks.
Expansion Tray/Cover
The protective cover of the Triton® T3-400™ is designed to also be used as a platform expansion tray. The cover can only be removed when the scale is fully open. Simply fully open the scale to unlock the cover and slide the cover towards the left of the scale. The cover can be used as a tray. Place it on the scale’s weighing platform and turn the scale ON. The scale will automatically TARE (zero) itself with the tray on the scale(if this does not work properly, you can turn the scale ON, then place the upside down cover on the tray and press the TARE key). This is perfect for weighing loose objects, gunpowder, gems, Chinese herbs and more. Please keep the protective cover installed when the scale is not in use (it will help protect the scale from possible damage).
