INSTALLATION 
Unpacking 
Before beginning installation of your CS Series Digital Counting Scale, make certain the 
instrument has been received in good condition. Carefully remove the instrument from the 
shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or 
scratches) that may have taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing 
material for return shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the 
purchaser to file all claims for any damages or loss incurred during transit. 
Placement 
Place the scale on a stable, vibration-free level surface away from direct sunlight and from 
any rapidly moving air source (heating/cooling vents, fans, etc.). Make certain the power 
cord and peripheral cables are routed out of the way of normal traffic. 
CAUTION! DO NOT place the scale on any unstable cart, stand or table. The 
scale may fall causing injury to the operator, and seriously damage the unit, 
or proper operation of the scale may be inhibited. 
Level Adjustment 
Check to make certain the scale is level. The level indicator is 
located at the front of the scale. If the scale is not level (the bubble 
will not be centered), loosen the locking ring on all four (4) mounting 
feet and adjust them as required to center the bubble and attain a 
level scale. Once a level condition has been obtained, lock the 
mounting feet in place by tightening the adjustment locking rings 
against the bottom of the scale. 
Power Connection 
The scale contains a power supply that converts the 110/120/220/240 VAC 50/60Hz wall 
supply to the power required by the scale circuitry. The power supply also contains the 
circuitry necessary to monitor and recharge the battery and is capable of operating the scale 
and recharging the battery simultaneously. 
AC Operation 
Plug the power cord into a grounded, polarized wall receptacle that supplies 110/120 VAC 
50/60Hz power. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, make certain it is a 3-wire, fully 
grounded type using a minimum of 18-gauge wire. Be certain the power cord is routed out 
of the way of normal traffic. If only an ungrounded wall receptacle is available, it is the 
customer’s responsibility to contact a qualified electrician to replace the ungrounded 
receptacle with a properly grounded polarized wall receptacle or have a grounding adapter 
properly installed. 
CAUTION! To avoid electrical hazard, DO NOT under any circumstances, 
cut, remove, alter, or in any way bypass the power cord-grounding prong.  
It is the responsibility of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to install the 
proper power cord connector. Plug the power cord into a grounded, polarized wall 
receptacle that supplies 220/240 VAC 50/60Hz power. Be certain the power cord is routed 
out of the way of normal traffic.
