The scale can be operated on the internal rechargeable battery when AC power is not available. The scale will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. Before using the scale for the first time, the battery should be fully charged for up to 12 hours. During charging, the battery Indicator displays the charge level (see table 1-1), and the scale can be operated during charging. The battery is protected against over charging and the scale can remain connected to the AC power line. NOTE: • Charging the scale must only be performed in a dry environment CAUTION: Battery is to be replaced only by an authorized Ohaus service dealer Risk of explosion can occur if replaced with the wrong type or connected improperly Dispose of the lead acid battery according to local laws and regulations

2.4 Initial Calibration When the scale is operated for the first time, a Span calibration is recommended to ensure accurate weighing results. Before performing the calibration, be sure to have the appropriate calibration weight. Refer to section 4.3 for Span calibration procedures.

3. OPERATION 3.1 Turning Scale On/Off To turn the scale on, flip the toggle switch below the right front keyboard. The scale performs a display test, momentarily displays software version, and then enters the active weighing mode. To turn the scale off, toggle same switch to off position.

3.2 Zero Operation Zero is set under the following conditions: • Automatically at Power On (initial zero). • Manually by pressing the ZERO button. Press the ZERO button to zero the weight display. The scale must be stable and weight +/- 2% of capacity to accept zero operation.

3.3 Manual Tare Place a container on the weighing pan, then press TARE. The display will show a net value of “0”. To clear the Tare value, press TARE with the pan empty.

3.4 Weighing Mode Use this mode to measure the weight of a sample in the selected unit of measure. Press and hold SELECT and press M+ Unit until the desired unit icon is displayed. Press ZERO to set the display to zero. Put an empty container on the pan, and then press TARE to tare the container weight. Add material to the container. The display shows the weight of the material in selected unit of measure.

3.5 Accumulate Mode Use this mode to store the weight and HI, LO, SUM statistics from a series of samples. Press ZERO to set the display to zero. Place the sample on the pan, wait for stabilization. Press M+ to store the weight of the sample. Storage is confirmed by the display [n---x], where x is the sample number. The enunciator above SUM text will illuminate to let user know there are readings in memory. Remove the sample, wait for stable zero reading, then place the next sample on the pan. Press M+ to store the weight of the next sample. Repeat this process until all samples have been weighed. Review the accumulation data by pressing M+ when the display is at zero. The display shows the number of samples [n----x] Press M+ to view the maximum sample weight [Hxxxxx]. Press M+ to view the minimum sample weight [Lxxxxx]. Press M+ to view the sum of weights [xxxxx]. Press M+ to return to weighing. Clear the accumulated data by pressing ZERO when the number of samples is displayed. Note – when stored values are in memory, unit of measure cannot be changed.

3.6 Check Weigh Mode Use this mode to compare samples to a target weight range. Press ZERO to set the display to zero. Place a sample on the pan and read the weight and under / accept / over status on display. (Refer to section 4.1 to set limits)

3.7 Changing Units of Measure Press and hold the SELECT key, and while still holding the SELECT key, press M+ button to display the next available measuring unit. Repeat process to scroll through all units.

Press SELECT (§), TARE (©), M+ (ª) to edit the digits of the upper limit. Press ENTER (ZERO Key) to confirm the setting and display the lower limit [000000]. Press SELECT (§), TARE (©), M+ (ª) to edit the lower limit. Press ENTER (ZERO Key) to confirm the lower setting and display will show Run---X where x is the alarm setting. In this case x= 0 = Turns off check weigh mode 1 = under / accept / over indicators are displayed, alarm beeps when weight is outside accept range. 2 = under / accept / over indicators are displayed, alarm beeps when weight is within accept range. 3 = under / accept / over indicators are displayed, alarm is off. Press TARE & M+ to change the alarm to desired setting. Press ENTER (ZERO key) to confirm setting and display [EndSEt] When [EndSEt] is displayed, Press and hold SELECT, and while still pressing SELECT, press ZERO key to return to weighing.

Press ZERO key to accept the default Capacity setting which is shown on the display. Do not change default. Display shows "d____x" (x=Zero tracking setting:0-6 from 0d to 5d). Press ZERO key to accept the default setting which is shown on the display. The display shows "E____x" (x=0, Accumulation and Check Weighing available; x=1, Accumulation and Check Weighing are not available). Press the ZERO key to accept the default setting which is shown on the display. Press ZERO and display will show "Load 0". Make sure pan is empty then press ZERO key to accept. Display will show "Load F”. Press ZERO to display "Fxxxxx" (xxxxx=Span weight ). To accept the default span weight, put displayed weight on the scale, and press ZERO to accept it.

If span weight is not available, the user can select a lower span calibration point value. Use the SELECT (scroll to next digit), TARE (decrease blinking digit) and M+ (increase blinking digit) keys to increment or decrement span calibration values. Once the desired span calibration weight is set, place displayed weight on the scale, and press ZERO to accept it. After completion, The display shows “EndCAL” and the scale will return to the weighing mode. To abort calibration at any point, turn the scale off.
