6. Attach the red lead to the positive (+) terminal of the new DC battery pack, and the black lead to the
negative (-) terminal. Place new DC battery pack in battery compartment.
7. Replace the battery holding bracket and fasten it with its two screws.
8. Replace the battery compartment door and fasten it with its two thumb screws.
9. Put the scale back upright on its feet.
10. Press the ON/OFF key located on the front of the scale. The scale will run through a check of the LCD
display’s segments. How thorough the segment check is depends on the setting of SPC 20, Bit 2. The
default is 1: Normal (For further instructions on how to set the scale’s specifications, see
Section 3.1.2):
• If SPC 20, Bit 2 is set to 0: Fast, the scale display’s 888’s for 1.5 seconds, then blanks for 1.5
seconds. It then displays 888’s again followed by a blank display for another 1.5 seconds before
going into the normal weighing mode.
• If SPC 20, Bit 2 is set to 1: Normal, the scale’s display will test the LCD segments for each numeral
from 0 to 9, asterisks, decimal points and annunciators before going into the normal weighing mode.
2.4.3 Battery Charging
A fully charged battery allows for approximately 24 hours of continuous use. When the battery is low the battery
indicator light will light up. It will take approximately 8-10 hours to fully recharge a battery that has been
completely dissipated. To charge the battery, plug in the AC power cord.
2.4.4 Start-Up Screens
1. If SPC 20, Bit 3 - Version Display When Power On is set to 0: Allow, the scale will display the current
version of the firmware it is using as it powers up (For further instructions on how to set the
specifications, see
Section 3.1.2).
2. After a test of the different elements of the display, the scale takes you to the stand-by screen in the
Weighing Mode. SPC 20, Bit 2 - Selection of Segment-Check Style controls whether the startup test of
the segments is Fast or Standard. At the stand-by screen the
TARE, WEIGHT, UNIT WEIGHT and PCS
displays show zeroes.
From this stand-by screen all of the basic weighing, counting and inventory operations can be performed
3. If there is anything on the platform(s) and it exceeds the scale start range, the display will show the error
message OF indicating “weight overflow”.
Note: The Initial Start Range settings are controlled by SPC 20, Bit 1. The default setting is 0: ± 10% OF FULL SCALE.
If this error appears, remove the weight from the platform and the scale will continue its startup
sequence.
