This manual contains installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the Valor™ 7000 Series. Please read the manual completely before using the scale.

1.1 Safety Precautions Please follow these safety precautions:  Verify that the AC input voltage printed on the data label matches the local AC power supply.  Do not drop loads on the platform.  Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or tripping hazard.  Use only approved accessories and peripherals.  Operate the scale only under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.  Disconnect the scale from the power supply when cleaning.  Do not operate the scale in hazardous or unstable environments.  Do not immerse the scale in water or other liquids.  Do not place the scale upside down on the platform.  Only use weights within the scale‟s capacity as specified in these instructions.  Service should be performed only by authorized personnel.

EN-2 2.3 Selecting the Location

Use the scale on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current, vibrations, heat sources, or rapid temperature changes. Allow sufficient space around the scale.

2.4 Leveling the Equipment The Valor Series has a level indicator as a reminder that the scale should be leveled for accurate weighing. To level the scale, adjust the feet so the bubble is centered in the circle. Be sure the equipment is level each time its location is changed. Level Indicator

Adjustable feet

2.5 Connecting Power AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed. First, connect the AC power cord (supplied) to the power input jack then connect the AC plug to an electrical outlet.

Figure 2-3A Connect the AC power plug to the input jack on the back of scale.

Figure 2-3B Connect AC power plug to the proper AC supply.

2.5.1 Battery Power: The scale can be used on AC power immediately. Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours before using the scale on battery power. The Scale will automatically switch to battery operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. With AC power, the scale is constantly charging, so the battery charge indicator (see item 11 in figure 3-2) will remain lit. The scale can be operated during charging, and the battery is protected against overcharging. For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room temperature. During battery operation, the battery symbol indicates the battery charge level remaining. The indicator will automatically turn off when the batteries are fully charged.

Symbol

TABLE 2-1 Charge level 0 to 10 % Remaining 11 to 40 % Remaining 41 to 70 % Remaining 71 to 100 % Remaining

Notes: When battery symbol blinks fast, approximately 30 minutes working time is left. When [lo.bat] is displayed, the scale will shut off. Charging the scale must 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 the rechargeable battery is replaced with the wrong type or if it is not properly connected. Dispose of the lead acid battery according to local laws and regulations.

Figure 3-4. Below view of Valor 7000 IR Sensors The Valor 7000 is equipped with two IR sensors, one at the front (see figure 3-5) and one at the rear (see figure 3-3). The front and rear sensors perform the same function. The sensors can be activated by a hand or other object that is placed at a specified distance in front of the sensor locations. The sensor activation distance will vary based on the reflective nature of the object. If unwanted activations occur due to unique situations the sensor can be turned off. See section 4.3 Setup Menu for available settings.

If required, place an empty container on the pan and press Tare.

10. Place sample material on the pan or in the container. If the sample weight is under the target percentage range, the yellow LED will light. If the sample is within the target percentage range, the green LED will light. If the sample is over the target percentage range, the red LED will light. Note: Press Function to view the low and high check limits. Positive Check Positive check is used to determine when the material added to the scale is within the target range. In this case the UNDER and OVER limits must be positive values. (The OVER limit must be greater than the UNDER limit.) Add material to the scale until it is within the ACCEPT (green) range. Negative Check Negative check is used to determine when the material removed from the scale is within the target range. In this case the UNDER and OVER limits are both negative values. (The UNDER limit must be greater than the OVER limit.) Place the item to be weighed on the scale and press Tare. Remove a portion of the item until it is within the ACCEPT range. Zero Check Zero check is used when comparing subsequent samples to an initial reference sample. In this case, the UNDER limit must be a negative value and the OVER limit must be a positive value. Place the reference item on the scale and press Tare. Remove the reference sample and place the item to be compared on the scale to determine if it is within the ACCEPT range.

3.6 Accumulation and Statistics The Accumulation feature enables manual or automatic totalizing of displayed values. Statistical data is stored in memory for review and printing. Accumulation works together with each application mode except Dynamic. 3.6.1 Accumulating Displayed Values With ACCUMULATE set to MANUAL, place the item on the scale and press the M+ key to add the weight to accumulation data. The ∑ icon will keep flashing until the weight is removed. With ACCUMULATE set to AUTO, place the item on the scale. The displayed value is accumulated automatically. The ∑ icon will keep flashing until the weight is removed. 3.6.2 Viewing and Clearing Statistical Data When the pan is cleared, press the M+ key to display the statistical information. To clear the accumulation data press the Tare key while the statistical information is displayed. The display shows [Clr.aCC]. Press the Yes key to clear the stored data and return to current mode. Notes: The item must be removed from the pan before the next item can be accumulated. Only stable weights are stored to accumulation data. Changing the mode will clear the accumulation data. Example: In weighing mode; sub menu ACCUmM setting, select mMaNU: If required, place an empty container on the pan and press Tare.

4.2 Cal Menu Enter this menu to perform calibrations. 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 weights as listed in table 4-1. Ensure that the LFT switch / calibration lock is set to unlock position. See figure 5-1. Or adjust the GEO setting according to your location (see table 4-2). Procedure: Press and hold Menu until [mMeNU] (Menu) is displayed. When the button is released, the display will show [C.A.L].
