SET-UP: Preparing the Scale for Use Remove the contents from the carton which includes the scale, platter, and the AC adaptor. Install the platter by inserting the pins on the underside into the holes on the top of the scale console. The beveled edge of the platter should face forward. The scale may be powered either with 4 ’C’ Cell batteries or the supplied AC adapter. If using batteries, do not use a mixture of old and new batteries.
FUNCTION: How to Sample Sampling is the process of “teaching” your scale to calculate a unit weight or “weight per 1000” pieces. Once the scale knows the unit weight, it can quickly provide a count by dividing the weight on the scale by the unit weight. This is the most critical step in the entire counting process. The golden rule of sampling is this: the larger the initial sample size, the more accurate your counts will be.
COIN SAMPLING: Item Type Coins or Tokens Sampling Procedure Press the NET/GROSS key to cycle through the available samples sizes and select: C100 FUNCTION: Counting COUNTING: Once the Unit Weight has been determined through the sampling process you may begin adding additional pieces to the scale. The count will be displayed incrementally in the display window. The count will continue to accumulate until the maximum weight capacity of the scale is reached.
SUGGESTIONS: Tips and Troubleshooting If you should inadvertently press the wrong key and the scale will not respond, turn the scale off and back on again to clear the problem. Purchase a quality surge protector for your scale to avoid damage from electrical surges and spikes. Do not operate cell phones within 6 feet of the scale to avoid interference.
CALIBRATION: Calibration Instructions NOTE: The ECS scale does not need to be calibrated for normal use. Calibration is required only for ISO certification. Procedure: Turn the scale on. Press the UNITS key repeatedly until scale displays, “lbs.” Turn the scale off and turn it upside down. You will see a small black switch in a hole on the underside of the scale. Move the switch to the left from “LOCK” to “ADJ”. Turn the scale right side up. Press and hold down the TARE key.
