See Figure A. When mounting to a wall without a solid backing, you can use the appropriate anchoring hardware.

2.4 Leveling the Equipment
Place the scale on a firm and stable flat surface and avoid excessive airflow, vibration, heat sources, or rapid temperature changes. Afterwards, rotate the scale feet for leveling (for L-shaped bases only).

OPERATION

3.1 Turning On/Off the Scale
To turn on the scale, you can short press the On/Zero button. The scale displays the software version and enters the weighing mode.
To turn the scale off, you can long press the Off button until is displayed.
3.2 Setting the Display to Zero
The value of the display can be set to zero in the following cases:

1. When the scale is turned on, it will perform an initial zero.
2. When the weight on the platform is less than or equal to 2% of the Capacity value, short press the ON/ZERO Off button to zero the instrument display.
3. When the weight on the platform is greater than 2% of the Capacity value, short press the ON/ZERO Off button to set the tare weight, then the instrument display will show a reading off.
   If you want to set the value of the display by pressing the ON/ZERO Off button, please make sure that the scale is stable.

3.3 Changing the Units of Measure
To change the weighing unit, you can long press the Units/Hold button until the desired weighing unit appears on the display.
3.4 Calibration
3.4.1 Linear calibration
The scale performs linearity calibration with 3 calibration points. The zero calibration point is established with no load on the platform. The mid calibration point and the full calibration point are established with loads on the platform.
3.4 Calibration
3.4.1 Linear calibration
The scale performs linearity calibration with 3 calibration points. The zero calibration point is established with no load on the platform. The mid calibration point and the full calibration point are established with loads on the platform.
Calibration Procedures:

1. After powering on, long press the UNITS/Hold button and On/Zero button simultaneously until appears on the instrument display.

2. Release the UNITS/Hold button and On/Zero button at the same time.

3. Short press the On/Zero button and will appear on the instrument display. The scale will perform a zero calibration at this time (Do not place any weight on the platform).
   When the zero calibration is completed, the display will show “C XXX kg” or “C XXX lb”, depending on the current unit. For different models, the readings displayed are as follows:
   C31M35R: 10 kg (20 lb)
   C31M75R: 25 kg (50 lb)
   C31M75L: 25 kg (50 lb)
   C31M200R: 100 kg (200 lb)
   C31M200L: 100 kg (200 lb)

4. Place the load on the platform.

5. Short press the On/Zero button and will appear on the instrument display. The scale will perform a midpoint calibration at this time.
   When the midpoint calibration is completed, the display will show “C XXX kg” or “C XXX lb”, depending on
   the current unit. For different models, the readings displayed are as follows:
   C31M35R: 30 kg (60 lb)
   C31M75R: 75 kg (150 lb)
   C31M75L: 75 kg (150 lb)
   C31M200R: 200 kg (400 lb)
   C31M200L: 200 kg (400 lb)

6. Place the load on the platform.

7. Short press the On/Zero button and will appear on the instrument display. The scale will perform a top range calibration at this time.

NOTE:

• When the calibration is completed, the display will return to weighing.
• If the display shows CAL E and then exits the calibration mode, this indicates that calibration has failed.

3.5 Application Modes
3.5.1 Weighing
This mode is the default factory setting, and it is used to determine the weight of the loads in the selected unit of measure.
Starting to Weigh

1. Put a weight on the scale. Once the value is stable, you can see “” on the display.
   If a container is used, placed the empty container on the platform. The display will show the container’s weight in the selected weight unit. Once the platform is stable, the stable weight symbol “” will appear on the display.

2. To capture the weight of the container (the Tare weight), press the On/Zero key. Once the platform is stable the weight will be captured, the display will return to zero and the stable weight symbol “*” will appear on the display.

3. Fill the container as required. The net weight of the contents of the container will be shown on the display. Once the platform is stable, the stable weight symbol “*” will appear on the display.

3.5.2 Display Hold
In Display Hold mode, the instrument will hold the displayed reading for the weight on the platform if that weight is greater than 5 divisions.

1. Short press the Units/Hold button.
2. Place the load on the platform. When the weight is greater than 5d and stable, the display will show the Hold symbol “o” and the weight display will remain even after the load is removed or changes. This is useful for large boxes.
3. To clear the Hold weight on the display and exit Display Hold mode, short press the On/Zero key once.
   The display will then show the current weight on the platform.
   NOTE: After zeroing, the display will restart to capture the first reading with a stable weight value greater than 5 d.
