OPERATION
Power Switch
The Power Switch is located on the bottom left side
panel towards the front of the scale. Place the
power switch in the on position. The scale will
perform a brief lamp test. This test consists of
illuminating all display segments and annunciator
LED’s to allow the operator to make a visual
verification that the display is operational. After
completion of the lamp test, the scale will display the
model number and software revision level, then the
WEIGHT display will show zero weight, indicating
the scale is ready for use.
