OPERATION

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read this manual carefully before you operate the IHS Crane Scale.

• Unpack the Crane Scale carefully from the packing.
• Attach  it  to  your  hoist  or  equivalent  existing  equipment  securely  at  the  ground level, in the upright position. Make sure that the equipment to which the scale is attached is in proper condition. The operator should be trained for its safe operation.
•  Carry out regular visual  inspection for any damage  or wear  and teat on parts. Particularly the split pins at the hook and eyebolts and the inner wall of the hook and all joints should be checked regularly. If any damage or wear has taken place, replace the parts.
• Do all inspection and maintenance work when the scale is not in use.
• Do  not  expose  the  scale  to  extreme  temperatures.  The  operating  temperature range is 0° C to 40° C.
• Secure the sample to be weighed in the hook of the scale. Ensure that the sprung Safety Lever returns to its resting position which prevents the sample from slipping out of the hook.
• Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the Scale.
• Clean and protect your scale after use.

BATTERY OPERATION

•  The  battery  will  operate  continuously  for  150  hours  before  requiring  recharging. The scale will alert you when the battery is within 10 hours of requiring recharging by the indicator lamp above the low battery symbol to indicate that the battery is low voltage.
• When  the  battery  requires  charging,  the  scale  will  turn  off  to  prevent  battery damage. If the button is depressed at this point, the indicator lamp will reappear and then the scale will again deactivate automatically.
• Charging time for a completely discharged battery is approximately 16 hours. A full battery pack is recommended to keep the scale continuously operational.
•  The  scale  will  automatically  power  down  after  30  minutes  of  non use to further protect the battery.

Note: More frequent charging of the battery prolongs its life.

CHARGING BATTERY

• Plug the power supply into the mains power, then into the back of the IHS scale.
• The  red  indicator  lamp  will  illuminate  to  indicate  that  the  battery charger is functioning properly.
• The green indicator lamp will illuminate to indicate that the battery fully charged.

BASIC OPERATIONS

Power on and off‐ Press [On/Off] key to turn on the scale. Then the display on the scale will show [88888]. Press again to turn off the scale.
Zero the scale‐Depress the [Zero] to re‐zero the reading.
Change division‐ you can use the [Change/lb/kg] key to change division.
Lb/kg‐ you use this to select either lb or kg weighing units
Hold ‐when required, such as when the reading is not stable or you cannot pause to record a reading, you can use the [Hold] key to lock the reading, so that you can read it easily later, after you finish reading, press [Hold] again to return to normal weighing mode.
Note: The [Hold] key has no affect if the Hold parameter has been disabled. See section 5.1
Overload Warning‐: please do not add any item that exceeds the maximum capacity of the scale. When the buzzer is sounded and the display shows”—–”, remove the item to avoid damage to the load cell and scale.

REMOTE CONTROLLER

The remote control works via infrared and can be used to operate the SHS from long distances. It operates using 2 x AAA batteries and these can be exchanged by unclipping a cover on the rear of the remote control unit.

CALIBRATION

•  Hold [Zero] when the scale is powered on.
• The display on the scale will show “SPAN”. Make sure the hook is empty or has the slings or chains to be used in place. See Below.
• Depress  the  [Zero]  button,  the  display  on  the  scale  will  show  “Set”  then  “0”  and then“0000.0” after few seconds. Zero calibration is now complete.
• Enter the weight to calibrate with by using [Hold] key to increment a digit then the [Change/lb/kg] key to move it across the screen left.
• For  example,  the  display  on  the  IHS  will  display  “3000.0”  for  a 3 ton calibration mass.
• Add  the  calibrated  mass  on  the  hook,  it  the  best  that  the  mass  is  close  to  the capacity where possible.
• When the scale is stable, press the [Zero]. The display shows ‘HOLd’.
• After a few seconds, the calibration is complete.

** To calibrate in pounds (lb) make sure that the scale is lb mode before commencing, to calibrate in kilograms (kg) make sure the scale is in kg mode before commencing.
When using slings, chains or other material to support the calibration mass, these items should be hung from the scale before setting the zero point so that when the calibration mass is added, only the weight of the calibration mass is measured by the scale.
If an error is detected when calibrating an error message will be shown.
Err 3 is when wrong data is entered for the mass, i.e. too small or wrong division.
Err‐5 means the calibration has failed.

PARAMETER

ENTER SETTING MODE

Turn off the power of the scale and then turn the power on again.
Press the [Change/lb/kg] key during self‐checking, display shows “Bee0“, indicating the scale has entered the setting mode, press the [Hold] or [Change/lb/kg] key to shift the parameter items.  Use [Zero] key confirm and escape from setting the current item.
