POWER SUPPLY

**AC Adapter**

** The indicator is charged by an ac adapter, plug the adapter directly into the “DC” pin located at the back of the indicator. We recommend to plug into a wall outlet to avoid interference with other wirings. A 110 to 220V AC adapter should be provided with your indicator. Please use only the AC adapter provided to prevent damage to your indicator.
Battery
** SL-7516 comes with a rechargeable battery, please charge the internal battery fully before first time use for 10-12 hours to prevent low voltage resulted from self leakage of batter. Once charged the battery should last for 45 hours. To keep the battery in best condition, fully discharge the battery every month by leaving the indicator on until the indicator powers off, and then recharge fully. If the battery is not going to be used for a long period of time it is recommended to remove it to avoid leakage.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Power On

• Turn on the power by pressing the power button for 2 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, 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 item 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 item

Note: If you remove the container the scale will show the minus weight of the container
Hold
In the parameter settings you can choose one of these 5 hold options

1. Peak Hold: Grabs the highest weight (for materials testing, 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
2. 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
3. Auto Hold: If the weight on the scale is above 20d 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
4. Average Hold: Used for animal weighing, the indicator will display the average weight sampled from 3 or 5 seconds (Set in the C12 Parameter)
   • Add animal to scale and press HOLD
   • Indicator screen will show “ ” for 3 or 5 seconds, then display the average weight from those 3 seconds
   • Press HOLD again to exit holding mode
5. Auto Average Hold: Used for animal weighing, the indicator will display the aver- age weight sampled from 3 or 5 seconds without the need to press the HOLD key.

If the weight on the scale is above 20d and is stable, the indicator will start grabbing the average weight sampled from 3 seconds.

• Begin loading animal to scale, after 5 seconds the Indicator screen will show “ ” for 3 seconds
• It will then display the average weight from those 3 seconds for 3 seconds and then repeat the process

Print

• If the indicator is connected to a printer and the communication mode is set to print mode (C18 =2) and the weight on the scale is stable press and hold the SET key to print the current weight.

INDICATOR PARAMETER SETTINGS

The parameter settings menu has a calibration section (C01 to C06 explained above) and a parameter settings section (C07 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:

1. Press and hold the ON/OFF and SET key at the same time for 2 seconds
2. Navigate through the settings (C01 to C45) as shown in the table 4 below by using the arrow keys and enter key as labeled under each indicator button
3. Press the SET key to enter/edit the parameter setting
4. Press the ON/OFF key to save and exit settings at any time

HELPFUL DEFINITIONS

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.
