POWER CONNECTION
NOTE: The PZ3000 can be operated from a power supply or from 6 “AA” size,
(2300mAh minimum) NiMH batteries. The power supply is also used to recharge the
NiMH batteries. Batteries are available by ordering Cardinal part number, 6800-0020.
Power Supply
To power the PZ3000 using the power supply, connect the power supply's connector into the
power jack on the bottom side of the display and then connect the 12 VDC, 1 Amp power adapter
into the proper electrical outlet. See Figure 1. On models requiring 220 VAC, it is the customer’s
responsibility to obtain the correct power adapter plug. The scale is now ready for operation.
Battery Operation
Battery operation is a standard feature of the PZ3000 Series Ingredient Scale, although
the batteries are optional (not included, except on model PZ3060). The scale will operate for up
to 50 hours on fully charged batteries depending on the condition of the batteries (from new to
about 500 recharges). The battery bar graph indicates the battery capacity in 4 steps:
4 segments - the full battery capacity is available,
3 segments - the battery is at 75% of capacity,
2 segments - the battery is at 50% of capacity,
1 segment: - the battery is at 25% capacity.
When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the display will show LoBAt and
then shut off. You will be unable to turn the display back on until the AC power supply is
connected to the display to operate it and recharge the batteries.
Battery Charging
To recharge the NiMH batteries, the AC power supply must be connected to a power outlet and
plugged into the display. It will take approximately 4 to 8 hours to fully recharge the batteries in
the display. Charging the batteries for more than 8 hours will not damage them. NOTE: The
scale may be operated while the batteries are charging.
Battery Installation/Replacement
To install or remove the batteries, the following steps should be followed:
1. Remove the indicator from the scale,
wall or table stand.
2. Turn the indicator so that the display
is facing away from you and place it
face down on a table or bench.
3. Referring to Figure No.2, locate the
two screws on the angled edge of
indicator. NOTE: The PZ3015 and
PZ3030 use two thumbscrews and
the PZ3060 uses two socket head
cap screws instead of thumbscrews.
4. Remove the screws and washers
under them.
5. Lift the battery door exposing the
battery holder.
6. Referring to Figure No. 3, locate and
remove the connector on the end of
the battery holder.
