KD-7000 Kitchen And Craft Digital Scale
Thank you for purchasing the My Weigh® KD-7000 digital 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 KD-7000
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 effect on the reliability and accuracy of your scale.
Handle with care. Gently apply all items to be weighed onto the 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 sufficient warm up time. Usually 30-60
seconds before calibration to give the internal components a chance to
stabilize.
POWER SUPPLY
AC Adapter
The scale can be powered by an AC adaptor- output is DC 5V 300mA. Please only
use the correct adapter for this scale — an incorrect adapter can cause damage
to the scale and possible fire or injury. Use of an incorrect adapter will
also void your warranty.
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! A scale
will perform poorly when it has low batteries. Use good quality batteries &
replace them often (Remove the 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 often caused by loose battery connections.
Battery installation
a) Press and lift open the battery cover located at the bottom of the unit.
b) Insert 3 x AA batteries and make sure the polarity is correct.
c) Close the battery cover until it clicks shut.
Note : If the battery symbol appears in the display, it means low battery
power. It is time to replace the batteries.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Weighing Procedures
- Press [ ] to turn on the scale. When the power is turned on, the scale will countdown for a few seconds and “0” will appear on the display.
- Select the weighing unit with [MODE]. Press [MODE] to select a weighing unit g, kg, oz, lb, lb:oz. Once the unit has been selected, the selected unit will be displayed next to the weight value.
- Start weighing. Verify the reading is “0”. Place objects on the weighing platform to weigh. When the reading becomes stable, the stable indicator is displayed.
Tare Tare can be used for eliminating the weight value of an empty container.
Place an empty container on the scale and press [TARE]. Then 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 [TARE] again to
return the scale to zero.
CALIBRATION
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.
How to calibrate: You must have an accurate 5kg weight or combination
of weights in order to calibrate.
- The scale must be powered Oft Press and hold [MODE] and [ ], release both keys and wait for the display to show “CALE”.
- Place a 5kg weight(s) on the platform. Wait a few seconds then press [TARE]. Calibration is complete when the display reads “PASS”, now you can remove the weight(s).
- Turn the scale OFF then turn it back ON and check some weight readings. If calibration is still incorrect, repeat calibration.
WEIGHT RESPONSE SPEED & AUTO OFF SETTINGS
- Press and hold [HOLD] and the [ ] key to power on the scale for 3 seconds and then release. Press [MODE] to scroll from “nb0″to “nb2″(nb0 is slowest – nb2 is fastest), press [TARE] for confirmation.
- The display will show “OFF 0″ (disabled) or”OFF 1” (automatic turn off after about 2 minutes) or”OFF 2″(automatic turn off after about 5 minutes), select the auto turn off time by pressing [MODE] , confirm by pressing [TARE] . The scale will return to the normal weighing mode.
FEATURES
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” ——- “, 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 [TARE] to re-zero the scale.
Auto off
An auto shut off feature is provided to conserve battery power.
Hold
Press the [HOLD] to hold the current weight reading, press [HOLD] again to
cancel.
Back light
On the back of the scale next to the AC socket is the back light switch. Slide
it to enable or disable the backlight.
Beep Feature
To enable or disable the Beep Feature slide the other switch at the back of
the scale.
Removable Protective LCD Cover
When using the KD-7000 be sure the clear protecticve LCD cover is not touching
the underside of the tray as this may cause inaccuarte readings. To remove the
cover simply lift up all the way and slide to the right.
