Pols P-15, S-210 V1.03: User Instructions

The document provides instructions for installing and using the Pols S-210 Marine Scale. It has a simple design with only two external switches. Initial calibration is needed after installation to compensate for environmental factors. Daily verification of the scale is recommended using a reference weight. The tare switch zeros the scale and the reset switch initiates calibration by guiding the user through empty and loaded platform measurements.

User Instructions
The Pols S-210 Marine Scale is a simple acceleration-compensated scale with a minimum of
functions and is very simple to use. It has only 2 external switches, a Tare and a Reset switch.

Installation:
When the platform is installed, make sure there is sufficient clearance between the platform and
surrounding structures. The platform should be bolted to a stiff table or frame that will not move
around or vibrate excessively. Use a mild detergent for cleaning. Never use a high-pressure hose or
wire brushes.

Initial calibration (Roll Compensation):


The scale is acceleration-compensated during testing at the factory, but various effects are likely to
cause the scale to indicate unstable and incorrect weights after initial installation. Perform the
calibration step (see the Daily verification section below). As this will usually be done in calm
conditions, the roll compensation constants will not be suitable for the rougher sea conditions
encountered when at sea, causing the scale to become unstable. Repeat the calibration step
whenever weight indications become unstable. Once this has been done in sufficiently rough sea
conditions, the scale will have established compensation constants that are good for all conditions.

Normal use:
The scale will display the weight of any object placed on the platform.
Take care that the platform load (e.g. tray) does not touch any surrounding structures, such as the
support stand or adjacent walls or tables during weighing. This will cause unstable and erroneous
weight readings. The scale should always be connected and turned on, even when not in use.

Tare (Zero-setting scale):


Whenever the platform is empty, the display should indicate zero. Water and debris accumulation
on the weight platform may cause non-zero indications when the platform is empty. This is easily
compensated for by zero-setting the scale, and should be done at frequent intervals.
To zero-set the weight display, momentarily press the Tare switch.

Daily verification:
For various reason the scale may become unstable or weigh incorrectly after a period of time. To
prevent this, the following procedure should be performed at leas once every 24 hours:
⇒ Keep an approved reference load handy beside the scale at all times.
⇒ Test the scale for correct weight indications at least every 24 hours using the reference
load.
⇒ If weight indication is incorrect or not stable, hold the TARE switch while flipping the
RESET switch (see instructions on the scale faceplate, or the Marine Scale Calibration
section on the back of this page).
⇒ Test the scale again, using the reference weight. If further action is needed, repeat the
above step, making sure no mistakes were made.

Scale Settings
The S-210 scale features a Tare switch, a Reset switch and an internal 16-way rotary switch, which
is sealed behind a protective screw. The rotary switch is a 4-bit binary code switch with positions 0-
15 (or 0-F hexadecimal), and is only used for initial installation and service.

Tare (Zero-setting scale):


To zero-set the weight display, momentarily press the Tare switch.

Marine Scale Calibration:


Press and hold the Tare switch while momentarily pressing the Reset switch.
The Tare switch must be released while the display test is in progress (values 0000-9999 roll
through the display). The Marine Scale Calibration sequence has 2 phases.
Phase 1:
The scale shows “PL 0. 00” to indicate that the platform should be CLEAN and EMPTY.
Momentarily press the Tare switch to initiate the empty-state calibration sequence.
The scale display will count down from 7 to 0.
Phase 2:
The scale shows e.g. “PL 5. 00” or “PL 1. 00” to prompt the user to put a 5.00 or 10.0kg
reference weight on the platform. The actual value will depend on platform capacity.
Momentarily press the Tare switch to initiate the Span and Roll calibration sequence.
The scale display will count down from 7 to 0.
Following this the scale should correctly indicate the weight on the platform if the calibration
operation was successful.

Rotary Switch (initial installation only):


Remove the sealing screw and use a 2mm-diameter screwdriver to rotate the switch as required.
When the switch is in the “0” position the scale is in the Normal Operating Mode.
When the rotary switch is turned clockwise, various functions become available in the order shown
in the following list. Turning the rotary switch counter-clockwise accesses the function list in the
reverse order.

Rotary Switch Functions:


Switch
position Display Description
0 0. 000 Normal Operating Mode
C 1 1. 30 Maximum Capacity
l 2 2. 3000 Maximum number of intervals
o 3 3 0. 020 Minimum resolution (e = d)
c 4 4 5. 00 Calibration (Reference) load value
k 5 5. 5 Sensitivity / Damping
w 6 6. 0 not used
i 7 7. 0 not used
s 8 8. 0 not used
e 9 9. 0 not used
A -. 0 not used
B E. 0 not used
C H. 0 not used
D 0. 0000 Calculated weight with 1 extra significant digit (for service purposes only)
E L. 12345 Main Loadcell Direct Reading (internal A/D units)
F H. 54321 Reference Loadcell Direct Reading (internal A/D units)

NOTE: Functions 1 through 5 can be changed by repeatedly flipping the Tare switch. This will
step through a list of predefined values. The available values will be different for each
function.

Miscellaneous:
♦ If the scale is reset and the rotary switch is not in position 0, the scale will not read the
setting and calibration constants from protected, non-volatile memory (EEPROM). This can
be handy, e.g. at initial startup or any other time, when protected memory may contain
erroneous data.
♦ During normal use the scale should always be reset with the rotary switch at position 0.
♦ Error Messages will appear on the display as “EEE X”. Flipping the Tare switch clears
errors. Possible error messages are:
EEE 1 Insufficient weight on platform (Marine Scale Calibration sequence).
EEE 2 Reference Loadcell signal too low.
EEE 3 Main Loadcell signal too high.
EEE 4 No Reference Load specified.
EEE 5 Checksum error when reading constants from non-volatile memory.

The scale faceplate contains abbreviated instructions how to perform the Marine Scale Calibration:
These instructions can be in one of many different languages:

PL x.xx : Setja x.xxkg á pall, smella Törurofa

English:
Zero-set: Flip Tare switch.
Calibrate: Hold Tare switch and flip Reset switch.
PL 0. 00 : Platform clean and empty, flip Tare switch.
PL x.xx : Put x.xxkg on platform, flip Tare switch.

Norwegian (Norsk):

Justering: Holl Tareringsknapp og trykk Tareringsknapp.
PL 0. 00: Platform ren og tom, trykk Tareringsknapp.
PL x.xx : Sett x.xxkg på platformen, trykk Tareringsknapp.

Portugese (Portugues):

Further languages will become available as required in the future.
