Operation

Keys and display

Weighing indicator display instruction:

Keys’ function

Operation
ON/OFF

Press the button for 3 seconds to power on or power off.

kg/lb Conversion
If you select kg/lb conversion, in normal weighing mode, press “On/Off” key to perform kg/lb conversion.

Tare/Zero
During the weighing process, if the zero range（±2%）is exceeded and the reading is stable, press “Tare/Zero” to start the net weighing mode. The display will then display net weight zero, the Tare and Net light indicators will switch on, Gross light indicator will switch off.
During the weighing process, if the weight stays within in the zero range （±2%）and it is stable, press “Tare/Zero” to return to gross weighing mode, the display will show gross weight zero, the Gross light indicator will switch on, Tare and Net lights will switch off.

Preset tare
Press “Tare” for 2 seconds and enter the Tare weight to configure the tare function.

HOLD
This indicator includes the following functions: peak hold, hold and auto- hold.
Settings Menu (4.2.2):

• C11=0 “Hold” function unavailable
• C11=1 Peak hold
• C11=2 Hold
• C11=3 Auto-hold

Peak hold
Press the “Hold” key, this will cause the Hold light to switch on, and the maximum data will be displayed on the weighing indicator. Press “Hold” key again to exit the hold function.

• Hold
  Press the “Hold” key, this will cause the Hold light to switch on, and the data will be displayed on the weighing indicator. Press “Hold” key again to exit the hold function.

• Auto-hold
  If the weight on the scales exceeds 20d and it is maintained stable, the indicator will display the data for 6 seconds and the “Hold” light will switch on, after 6 seconds the indicator will return to the general weighing mode, and the “Hold” light will switch off.

• Total

• Accumulation operation
  At Zero mode, load weight until the scale shows the stable reading, then press “Total” key to enter the accumulation mode, “Total” light will then switch on, display will show “n001” message, and then display loaded weight. Unload the weight, the scale will return to zero, load weight again until the stable reading  is achieved, then press “Total”, display will show “n002” message, then the loaded weight will be displayed. This operation can be repeated maximum 999 times.

• Check the total weight operation
  Hold “Print”, then press “Total” at the same time, the display will show “n**”, (accumulating times) and then the total weight will be displayed. If the total weight does not exceed 6 digits, it is displayed as the whole reading, otherwise, for example, if the total weight consists of 8 digits, the first 4 digits will be displayed first, then the last 4 digits. For example, the first 4 digits are “0012”, the last 4 digits is “34.56”, it means the actual weight is “1234.56”

• Exit accumulate function
  In order to exit the accumulative mode, when active, press “Total” key, the indicator will then show “clr n” message, prompting about clearing the total weight, press the key to confirm it and exit; If total weight is cleared, when the display shows “clr n” message, press “Tare/Zero” to change to “clr y”, which will clear the total weight display. Press “Print” to clear the total weight and exit accumulating mode.

• High resolution
  Press “Set” and “Tare” keys simultaneously, to enter high 10 times standard resolution mode. The normal weighing mode will be established after 3 seconds.

• Upper and lower limit alarm
  In order to establish the upper and lower limit indications, please set C13= Upper limit, C14=Lower limit. When the measured weight exceeds the limit, the “Hi” light will switch on, and indicator will produce an sound; when the weight is below the lower limit, the “Lo” light will switch on. In case the weight is within the limit, the “OK” light will switch on.

Calibration & parameter settings

Maintenance

Troubleshooting method

Daily maintenance

1. In order to ensure the clear display of the indicator and prolong its life, the indicator should not be placed under direct sunlight.
2. The load cell and the indicator should be well connected, the system should have a good ground, away from strong electric field or magnetic field.
3. Do not use indicator outdoors in high humidity conditions, please power the indicator off. 4. Power off the device during the operation of connecting and disconnecting.

Battery maintenance
In the lower right corner of the indicator a field will indicate the battery voltage.
If the battery voltage is too low, when the last grid blinks, please charge. The battery grid flickers when charging, and the charging time is generally 6-8 hours.
The battery grid will then appear full. The indicator has a built-in intelligent charge management chip, which can continue to use power supply after being fully charged, preventing battery overcharge.
LP7517FP charger red light will change into green to indicate a fully-charged battery.

Restore default parameters

Enter settings menu, set C07=1, press then, press , press i order to exit the settings, all parameters will be back to default setting.
Note: Consider that restoring default parameters is a task which should be performed by professional technicians as it might cause the scale to lose calibration.

Default parameter table

NOTE: “*” this option is only available in USA version.
