1. when you use the internal battery first time,you should charge the battery fully, to prevent low
voltage resulted from self leakage of battery.
2. when the “red” light is flash, means low battery, pls. charge it in time
3. the light turns to red during charging
4. when the light turns to green, means fully charged.
5. if battery is not used for long time, take it out to avoid the leakage.
6. In order to keep the battery in best using condition, it is suggest that you fully discharge the battery
every month, the method is that using the indicator till it is automatically power off.
The indicator is powered by adapter, you plug the adapter directly into the “DC” pin at the back cover the
indicator is ok.

2.2 Connection of load cell and indicator
The indicator can connect with 6 load cell of 350Ω at most, 4 wire or 6 wire load cell both ok.
There are two methods connection between load cell and indicator
A. quick disconnect, as below:

connection:
GND Ground
B RS485 output”B”port
Technical parameters:
Resolutions: 1/1000
Outside Load: 100-350Ω
4
Connection:
1. Inside connection: 4-20mA, load input port connect with “I” of J602, Ground port connect with “ GND” of J602
2. Outside connection: 4-20mA, load input port connect with “1” pin of DB9, Ground port connect with “6” pin of
DB9 Testing :
Connect the 250Ω to the 4-20mA, adjust the multimeter to the current stalls, the red pan connect the loading port, and the
black pan connect” GND” to test the output current.
Calibration:
1. Press” Print” and “ Total” go to C32, show[out-4], the output current should be 4mA.
2. If Press [↑]show[out-5],Pres[↓]show[out-20],the output current should be 20mA.
3. Adjust the current, for example, adjust to [out-20], Press [←](“Zero” key)or[→](Net/gross key)to adjust the
4~20mA correspond to Zero ~Max. capacity. After press” TARE”, the weight will start from 4mA. SET C31=0, 0~20mA
output mode.; C31=1 4~20mA output mode.
If you need 0~5V output, Set C31=0, Then connect 250Ω at the two ends of current output., will get 5voltage at resistance
two ends.
The indicator can output 4 signal , connect with the outside equipment the indicator can perform automatic
control function and upper limit and lower limit alarm function. Perform the 4 kinds function through setting
C33, 4 signals
As below
For example:
Check weigher application. Connect indicator with yellow, green, red 3 lights. Yellow light on when
overload, if ok the green light on. If underload red light on. And can connect with buzzer. There would be
alarm remind when overload.
C33=2 Feeding control application
For hopper scales. The target is between is 50~500kg, the I/O card can perform open and close feeding
valve.
Parameter setting C13=500kg C14=50kg
Connection: 1. Connect directly control machine, pls. connect OUT 4, suggest connect another
manually switch as the stop switch in emergency
2. indicator output signal will influence the ON/OFF switch to control machine, OUT 2 ON, OUT 1
OFF, OUT 3 connect buzzer, alarm remind when start and stop.
Instruction: when the weight over 500kg, OUT 1 OU3 instant connection and break off, OUT 4 break
off; when weight under 50kg, OUT 2 OUT3 instant connection and break off, OUT 4 constant
connection.

Power on/off Press 2 seconds to power on or power off
Press 2 seconds to power on or power off, after power on the indicator show”000000-999999”. After
self inspection. It go to the weighing mode. Pls. check it whether 6 bits LED/LCD display and the status light is

automatically.
2. Manually Zero setting
When the scales is stable, and not the negative display, you can zero the weight within tolerance by press
keys.
Press “TARE” key, the gross weight is tared, indicator show the Net weight, the “Net” “tared” status light is on.
At tare mode, Press” TARE” key, clear the tare weight, the indicator will show the gross weight.
mode, ”Total” light on, display” n 001”, and then display loaded weight; unload the weight , back to zero, load the
second weight again till stable. Press display”n002” then display the second loaded weight. Repeat it agin
and again, maximum 999 times.
Check the accumulation
Press and hold it then press , display ”n**”, (it is the accumulating times) then show total weight.
there are 8 digits totally. It shows the first 4 digits then the last 4 digits. For example, the first 4 digits is”0012”, the
last 4 digits is”34,56” It means the actual weight is “1234.56”
EXIT the accumulation function
When the indicator show the last 4 digits, Press hold it, the indicator show “ clr n”, it means don’t clear
the total Weight, Press “PRINT” key to exit it; if you want to clear total weight, Press “ZERO” or “TARE” key, “clrn”
change to “clry” it means clear total weight ,then Press “PRINT” to clear the total weight and exit accumulating
mode.
3.6 Print
If the weighing is stable, after connect with printer, press” PRINT” can print the weight. Note: at tare
mode, print with tare. if negative weight,, can not print. Set C30 for time format.

3.7 Hold
There are two different hold function. Peak hold function and data hold function. And the setting is different
accordingly.
option:0=close hold function
1=Peak hold /2=Data hold
3=Auto hold/4=Animal hold
Instruction:
Peak-hold: it shows the max. data,
mainly application for materials testing, such as tension and pulling force.
Date-hold: it shows current weight value. Mainly application for animal weighing.
Auto-hold: When the pet keep stable on the scale, the indicator will automatically “ Hold” for 6 seconds.
Animal-hold: Press” Hold” key, the indicator will show” LOC” for 3 seconds, the “ hold” light is on,
During the 3 seconds, the indicator will catch the average weight and show it.
Press” HOLD” key again to exit it
3.8 Count
1. At weighing mode, load the weights on the platform scales, Press” Count” the indicator show” PCS 0”
press” Zero” key input the quantity, press” Print” to confirm it
2 . Load the goods on the platform scales, then the indicator will show the quantity.
3. Press” Count” back to weighing mode.
4. If you want to weigh different goods, at weighing mode, put the sample on the platform scales, press”
Count” the indicator show”0”
Press “Print” hold it and then press “Count” the indicator show” PCS 0”, press “Zero” input the sample
quantity, press “ Print” to confirm it. Then repeat the step 2 and 3.
2. when the switch “ MARK” is on position, press the “ ” hold it and then press” ” enter
calibration.
