UNPACK Carefully unpack the scale and commodity tray. Remove the protective film from the front and rear displays. Make certain that no sign of damage to the instrument is visible.
COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS (cont.) 2. PLACEMENT Place the scale on a stable, vibration-free location away from direct sunlight and away from any rapid moving air source.

Shipping thumb screw(located on bottom of scale) Leveled CAUTION!!! DO NOT place the scale on any unstable cart, stand or table.
COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS (cont.
KEY FUNCTIONS (cont.) 250g 1/2 Pressing the 250g/ 1/2 key computes price per 250g or 1/2lb depending on the scale mode. NOTE: With the scale mode set for kg operation (Lb=0 or No) and the FRACTION keys disabled (FrAC=0 or No) ONLY the 250g | 1/2 key will be disabled. The 100g | 1/4 key will remain enabled. ZERO Pressing the ZERO key will rezero the weight display or when displaying the accumulator total, zero the accumulator. PRINT Pressing the PRINT key initiates a serial data output.
OPERATION Normal Unit Price 1. Place commodity on scale. 2. Key in unit price per pound or kilogram. 3. Read total weight and total price. 4. Remove commodity. Scale will return to zero, ready for next operation. Unit Price Per 1/4 or 1/2 lb (so equipped) 1. Place commodity on scale. 2. Key in unit price per 1/4 of 1/2 lb. 3. Press corresponding fraction key. Note: indicated price will change. 4. Read total weight and total price. 5. Unit price display will show price per pound. 6. Remove commodity.
OPERATION (cont.) Tare operation for known tare (container) weight Note: Known tare weights must be entered as numbers compatible with the particular scale division. Example: 30 lb x 0.01 = increments of 0.01 - 15 kg x 0.005 increments of 0.005. Any known tare entry not compatible with particular scale counting increments will be replaced and scale will display -int-. Press CLEAR key and re-enter correct compatible number. lb Models 1.
SETUP AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURE This scale was calibrated at the factory and should not require adjustment. In the event that the scale should need calibration, the following describes the Calibration of the Price Computing Scale. A qualified technician should perform this function to maintain the instrument’s high degree of accuracy.
SETUP AND CALIBRATION PRIOCEDURE (cont.) 3a. LoAd = If recalibration is not desired, press 0 (zero) then ENTER and proceed to step five. 3b. If recalibration is desired, apply a weight equal to 70%-100% of the scale capacity to the scale (do not use fractional lb or kg weights). Select the value of the weight and press ENTER. WEIGHT LoAd= UNIT PRICE $ PPK ZERO NET 30 TOTAL PRICE $ P lb E 100g 250g R kg 4. UnLd= Remove the weight from the scale and press ENTER to proceed.
SETUP AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURE (cont.) 10. tArE= Enter 0, 1, or 2 and press ENTER. 0 = Disables keypad tare and enables push button tare. 1 = Enables both keypad and push button tare. 2 = Disables both keypad and push button tare. WEIGHT UNIT PRICE $ tArE= PPK 1 ZERO NET TOTAL PRICE $ P lb E 100g 250g R kg 11. otrA= Enter 1 (Yes) to enable automatic zero tracking, 0 (No) to disable. Press ENTER. WEIGHT UNIT PRICE $ PPK OtrA= 1 ZERO NET TOTAL PRICE $ P lb E 100g 250g R kg 12.
SETUP AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURE (cont.) 13. bAUd= Enter the value for the baud rate desired and press the ENTER key. 12 = 1200 baud 48 = 4800 baud 19 = 19.2k baud 24 = 2400 baud 96 = 9600 baud 38 = 38.4k baud WEIGHT UNIT PRICE $ PPK bAUd= ZERO NET 96 TOTAL PRICE $ P lb E 100g 250g R kg 14. PAr= Enter the value for the parity setting desired and press the ENTER key.

SETUP AND CALIBRATION PRIOCEDURE (cont.) 18. donE= Indicates that calibration/setup is complete and calibration data will be stored at this time. Press the OFF key to turn power off. Replace the right side cover and secure using the four (4) screws and two (2) calibration sealing tabs removed earlier. Press the ON key to turn power on. The scale is ready to use.
2. Operator keys in one or two digits (00 to 99) representing the price preset number, then presses the ENTER key. WEIGHT 0000 UNIT PRICE $ PPK ZERO NET 326 TOTAL PRICE $ P lb E 100g 250g R kg 3. Repeat both steps to recall other preset prices. 4. Press the CLEAR key to return to normal operation mode. DATE ENTRY (must be re-entered if power is interrupted) 1. Operator presses DATE key and is prompted for Packed on date (PdAtE).
ERROR MESSAGES CALib Indicates that the scale has never been setup and calibrated or has been interrupted during the setup and calibration sequence. ErrAL Indicates a faulty component or broken wire in the analog circuitry of the instrument. FAiL2 Will appear whenever the program cannot write data into the system memory (setup and calibration is in progress). -ouF- Will appear in the weight display whenever a net weight exceeds -9999 (4 digits negative).
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE. . . Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance. Should you experience difficulty with the operation of this instrument, please check the following items before requesting service: 1. Is the power supply fully inserted into the wall receptacle? 2. Is the power supply connector fully inserted into the scale power supply receptacle? 3.
SERIAL DATA OUT AND WEIGH ON DEMAND FUNCTION The PC series scale will transmit SMA Level 1 compliant serial weight data when the PRINT key is depressed or when connected to a host (Weight On Demand). When connected to a host, serial weight data will be transmitted to the host in a SMA Level compliant format when the host sends the scale a W (linefeed, capital W, and a carriage return) or in an alternate format when the host sends the scale a W (capital W only).
PC SERIES INTERFACE CABLES The PC series scale can be interfaced to different Detecto printers as well as to a host computer. The following table lists the model numbers of the printers supported and the cable required to connect to them or to a host computer. PC Series Interface Cables Printer Model Number Cardinal P/N P200 6980-1047 P220/P240 8529-B304-0A HOST (computer 9-pin) 8529-B305-0A NOTE: Using Visual Print, serial printers from other manufacturers may be used with the PC series scale.
