OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Power On
- Turn on the power by pressing the power button for 2 seconds. Once on, the scale will flash the voltage and then begin to auto-check and count down from 0-9 sequentially before entering the weighing mode
Note: Anything on the scale before powering on will automatically be
tared out.
Zeroing
- The zero function is used only when the scale is empty and is not at gross zero due to material build up
- Pressing the ZERO key will reset your scale to 0
- Depending on what your manual zero range parameter is set to, you can zero out any number within your set selection, after that you will receive an error and will need to tare out the weight
Unit Selection
- To switch between measuring units ((kg/g/lb/oz/lb:oz) press the UNITS key
Tare Function
- The Tare function is used when you only wish to see the current change in weight, not the entire amount of weight that is on the scale
- When the indicator is in gross mode (gross light is shown) pressing the TARE key will Tare the current weight on the scale and enter the net mode (net light shown)
- For example if you are using a container add the container to the scale, press tare and the display will show the tare symbol and reset back to 0
- Add your product to the scale to weigh without the weight of the container
- To exit Tare mode press the TARE key again to enter gross mode and you will see the total weight of the container and the product
Note: If you remove the container the scale will show the minus weight of the container
To use a pre-set tare weight
- Press and hold the TARE key for 2 seconds
- Input the tare weight using the arrow keys
- Press print key to confirm
Counting Function
- The counting function is used to count a high volume of identical parts. You can do this by setting a sample and then either adding to the sample or taking away from the sample to count the number of objects on the scale
- In weighing mode: Put a sample weight on the scale (Sample options are 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500)
- Then press the COUNT key to go to the counting mode (“pcs” will light up)
- It will then display the sample number (ex. PCS 0) which you can change using the up or down arrows
- Press the PRINT key to confirm your sample number
- The scale is now ready to start counting, load your product on the scale and the indicator will show the quantity
- To exit counting mode press the COUNT key
- If you want to count a different product hold the PRINT and COUNT key together and the sample pieces will reset back to zero
Accumulation
- The accumulation function is used to add multiple weights and total them together
- In weighing mode load the first weight, once stable press the ACCUM key to enter the accumulation mode. The “total” indicator/light will display
- The screen will show “n001” to indicate the first weight has been saved
- Remove the first weight and press the ZERO key to stabilize the scale
- Add the second weight to the scale
- Once stable press the ACCUM key to add the weight to the accumulated total
- The screen will show “n002” to indicate the second weight has been saved
- Repeat previous steps until all desired weights have been added to the total (you can accumulate up to 999 different weights)
- When you are done and want to display the accumulated total, press the ACCUM and PRINT key together. The accumulated number “n002” (the number of weights you are adding together) will flash on the display followed by the total
- The total will display by flashing between 2 sets of numbers
- There are 8 digits in total, the display will flash 4 at a time, the first 4 on the left and the last 4 on the right. For example if the first 4 digits are “0012” and the last 4 digits are “3456” the actual weight is 001234.56 or 1234.56 lbs/kg
- If you want to print the accumulated total, hold the PRINT key for one second while the last 4 digits of the total are shown
- To exit accumulation mode, wait for the last 4 digits to the right of the screen to appear, and then press and hold the ACCUM key for one second
- “CLr n” will be displayed, asking you if you want to keep the data?
- If NO you do not want to clear the accumulated total, then keep “CLr n”.
- If YES you do want to clear the total, then use the arrow key to change to “CLr y”
- Finally, press the PRINT key to select exit accumulation mode
Hold
There are 4 different hold functions you can choose from in the C11 parameter
-
Peak Hold: Grabs the highest weight (for materials testing, ie. tension and pulling force)
● Press the HOLD key then add weight to the scale
● The indicator will show the highest weight it recorded and hold it on the screen until a higher weight is placed on the scale -
Manual Hold: Grabs the current weight and holds it so it will not change/fluctuate
● While weighing, press HOLD and the indicator will hold the current weight on the screen until HOLD is pressed again -
Auto Hold: If the weight on the scale is above 20d (20 x division) and is stable, the indicator will hold that weight on the screen for 3 seconds then go back to general weighing
● Pressing the hold key is unnecessary, holding is done automatically when the scale is stable -
Average Hold: Used for weighing animal, the indicator will display the average weight sampled from 3 seconds
● Add livestock to scale and press HOLD
● Indicator screen will show “LOC” for 3 seconds, then display the average weight from those 3 seconds
● Press HOLD again to exit holding mode
- If the indicator is connected to a printer and the weight on the scale is stable press the PRINT key to print the current weight
- In accumulation mode hold the PRINT key for one second when the last 4 digits of the total weight are shown to print the total weight
Note: In tare mode the printer cannot print if negative weight is shown

INDICATOR PARAMETER SETTINGS
The parameter settings menu has a calibration section (C01 to C07 explained
above) and a parameter settings section (C08 and up).
To access the calibration section the seal switch (located at one corner of
the PCB) must be OFF.
This will allow access to all C01 and up settings. If the seal switch is ON,
then only C08 and up can be accessed by the user. If you break the official
seal by opening the back of the indicator to access the seal switch, you may
need to have the indicator recertified. Be sure to adjust the seal switch back
to the original setting after calibration/configuration has been performed.
To enter calibration/parameter settings, follow the procedure below:
- Make sure the unit is set to either kg or lb
- Press and hold the HOLD and PRINT key at the same time for 2 seconds
- Navigate through the settings (C01 to C45) as shown in the table 4 below by using the arrow keys and return keys as labeled under each indicator button

TROUBLESHOOTING
Issues/Error Codes | Possible Causes | Suggested Actions |
---|---|---|
The scale does not turn on | 1. Loose power cord | |
2. Outlet is defective | 1. Ensure the power cord is plugged in |
2. Ensure the power source works. Test the power source by connecting a
different appliance to the same outlet to check if it’s operational.
The reading goes negative when a load is applied| 1. The Sig+ and Sig- wires
are connected to the wrong ends of the load cell| 1. Try switching the Sig+
and Sig- wires connected to the load cell and/or the junction box (if one is
used)
UUUUUU| 1. Overload
2. Cables are not connected properly
3. Load cell is defective| 1. Reduce the weight
2. Check load cell connection
3. Inspect load cell; Check the input/ output
4. If the above actions don’t work, try the following instructions:
1. Check if the cable that runs from the indicator to the junction box is
damaged. If it is, replace the cable.
2. Check for any water damage inside the junction box. If there is, replace
the junction box
3. Ensure all wires on all 5 terminal blocks are not loose. Retighten the
screws if needed.
4. Recalibrate
5. If none of the above actions work, one or more load cells may be defective
nnnnnnn
| 1. Calibration is no good
2. Cables are not connected properly
3. Load cell is defective| 1. Ensure scale is leveled
2. Check load cell connection
3. Check load cell input and output resistance
4. If the above actions don’t work, try the following instructions:
• Check if the cable that runs from the indicator to the junction box is
damaged. If it is, replace the cable.
• Check for any water damage inside the junction box. If there is, replace
the junction box
• Ensure all wires on all 5 terminal blocks are not loose. Retighten the
screws if needed.
• Recalibrate
5. If none of the above actions work, one or more load cells may be defective
---|---|---
ERR1| No weight was used during calibration or the weight used was above the
max capacity.| Use correct weight within the defined range
ERR2| The weight used during calibration was below the minimum required
weight.| The calibration weight minimum is 10% of the maximum capacity set in
C04.
It is recommended to use 60%-80% of the maximum capacity.
ERR3| During calibration, the input signal is negative| 1. Check all wire
connections
2. Check load cell for damages
3. Recalibrate
4. If none of the above actions work, the PCB may need to be replaced
ERR4| Signal is unstable during calibration| Start calibration after the
platform is stable
ERR5| EEPROM Error| Replace the PCB
ERR6| Exceed Zero Range| 1. Ensure the scale is leveled and does not wobble.
Turn it on with no load on the scale.
2. Press and hold the “PRINT and HOLD” key simultaneously for a few of
seconds
3. The screen will read “C01”
4. Using the arrow keys, change C01 to C20. You have to change the 1st digit
from 0 to 2 before you can change the 2nd digit from 1 to 0.
5. Press “PRINT” key to enter C20 parameter
6. Change the value of C20 on the right to 100 if possible using the up-arrow
key. If 100 is not available change to 20.
7. Press “PRINT” key to enter your selection
8. The screen will read “C21” now
9. Press “PRINT” key to enter C21 parameter
10. Change the value on the right of C21 to 100 if available, 20 if not
11. Press “PRINT” key to enter your selection
12. The screen will read “C22” now
13. Press “TOTAL” key to save and exit Power the indicator off and then back
on. If these steps do not resolve the ERR6 issue, try following the solutions
above for “nnnnnn” and “uuuuuu” error codes.

GLOSSARY
Division: The amount of increments a scale offers. How accurate the scale
can be
Capacity: the maximum amount the scale can contain
Initial Zero Range: The percentage of weight allowed on the scale when
indicator is powered on that will automatically zero.
example: If initial zero range is set to 10% of the max. capacity and
your max. capacity is 100lbs, you can place up to 10lbs of weight on the scale
and when the indicator is powered on, it will automatically zero out the
weight.
Manual Zero Range: The percentage of weight allowed on the scale where
the indicator will let you manually zero (anything above this percent will be
tared)
Zero Tracking Range: A subset to the manual zero range; if the weight on
the scale is not stable, the zero tracking range still allows you to zero
within a set division of the scale
Zero Tracking Time: A subset to the zero tracking range, it is the time
allowed for the scale to fall within the zero tracking range tolerance and
still qualify to be zero’d
Overload Range: Weight allowance that is out of the set calibrated range.
Adds a tolerance to the calibrated max. capacity without having to
recalibrate.
example: If your scale has a max. capacity of 1000lbs with a division of
1 and you set the overload range to 60, you can add 1060lbs of weight to the
scale without it displaying an error code
Negative Display: How far you can go in the negative direction before
displaying an error code
Standstill Time: How fast the scale will stabilize
Standstill Range: How much the scale can fluctuate before being
determined stable
Digital Filter: For filtering moving weight, such as animals, It changes
how sensitive the scale is to variations in movement.
Noise Filter: A filter for how susceptible the scale is to general
variations
Baud Rate: The rate at which information is transferred in a
communication channel.
example: In the serial port context, “9600 baud” means that the serial
port is capable of transferring a maximum of 9600 bits per second.
