Delivery scope

1 x platform scales PCE-PB 75N or PCE-PB 200N
4 x 1.5 V AA battery
1 x 6 V mains adaptor
1 x wall mounting bracket
1 x user manual

First use

Before the balance is used, it should acclimatise for one hour. Failure to do so may result in incorrect readings. To switch on the balance, insert four AA 1.5 V batteries on the back of thedisplay and/or use the 6 V plug-in mains adaptor included in the delivery scope. If the supply voltage is too low, the display will show “LO”. Further use is not possible. Therefore, check the batteries and/or the mains adaptor.

On / off

To switch on the balance, press and release the key once. The display shows the following in sequence:

All icons
Version number
Maximum measurement range
Measurement mode

Once the balance is in measurement mode, you can use it.

To turn off the balance, press the key again.

Automatic power off

To save battery power, the instrument has an auto power off feature. To set this function, press and hold the key until the display shows “5” for a shutdown after five minutes of inactivity or “-” to disable the auto power off function. You can now use the key to select one of these two options. Press the key to confirm your selection. You will return to measurement mode.
IMPORTANT: This function is always deactivated during mains operation.

Change unit

To change the unit, press and release the key once. You can choose either kg, lb or oz/lb.

Set zero point

There are several ways to set the zero point. These are described in the following chapters.
Important: Always note that the maximum measurement range must not be exceeded.

Automatic zeroing

After turning on the scales, the displayed reading is automatically zeroed. To disable this function, press and hold the key until “AUtO Zo” appears on the display when the balance is switched on. You can now use the key to select “ON” or “OFF” to enable or disable this function. Press the key button to confirm the selection. You will return to measurement mode.

Internal zero point

With the platform scales, for example, a zero point can be set for a container weighing without having to carry out an adjustment. This has the advantage that the container is subtracted during the measurement. To do this, first place the container on the weighing surface. Then press and hold the key while the balance is switched on until you reach the menu for automatic zeroing.
First switch off this function. Now press the key. “SET Zo” appears on the display. Now change this function from “OFF” to “ON” by pressing the key. Confirm the entry with the key. You will return to measurement mode.
Important: Each time this function is activated again, permanent zeroing is performed. Resetting to “OFF” will not remove the new zero.

Tare

To tare the displayed weight, press and release the key once in measurement mode.

Piece counting

To perform a piece count of the weight, first place the following number of test pieces on the weighing platform. You can choose between 25, 50, 75 and 100 pieces. Then press and hold the key until “PCS” flashes on the display. You can now use the key to select between the numbers of test pieces on the weighing platform. Now press the key to accept the selection.
If “Pass” appears on the display, the execution was correct and the balance starts with the piece counting directly. If “Err” appears on the display, the operation was not correct. Repeat the procedure.
To exit the piece counting mode, press the key. Press and release the key to return to piece counting.
Important: No individual number is possible.

Calibration

To perform a calibration, press and hold the key until the display shows the maximum measurement range of the balance. A selection of calibration weights is then displayed. You can choose between 10, 20 and 50 kg. To do this, press the key. Then press the key. The calibration is now performed. Only now place the reference weight on the scales. If the calibration was successful, the display will show “PASS”. If the measured value is not stable or if you cancel the calibration prematurely, “ERR” is shown on the display. To cancel the calibration prematurely, press and hold the key
