Key Board

Load cell Connecter

Adaptor Jack

• Place the Indicator on a table or connect with proper stand.

• Connect the plat form load cell cable in to the indicator load cell connecter.
Load cell connecter is locating back side of the indicator.

T-Scale EW Weighing Indicator

• Connect the adaptor pin in to the indicator adaptor jack.

Adaptor jack is locating, back side of the indicator.
• Adaptor connects into your AC power socket.
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily accessible socket
outlet with a protective ground/ earth contact.
• Turn on the On/Off key. If you want to turn off, press the key again.
• Display will be show the scale capacity and will be starting self checking.
• After self checking, display will be come to normal weighing mode.
• Warm-up time of 15 minutes stabilizes the measured values after
switching on.
• Calibrate with exact calibration weights, minimum 1/3 of the scale capacity
want to use for calibration. For calibration see details in parameter.

Then you can start your operation

Load cell connections

• Connect the load cell cables to the terminal as shown below.

Description Pin

Signal + 1
Excitation + 5

Signal – 2

Excitation – 4

Shield 3

• It can connect four 350 ohm load cells.

• The load cell drive voltage is 5V DC ±5% between
Excitation + and Excitation -.

Connect Adaptor and Charging

• To charge the battery insert the adaptor pin to jack. Adaptor simply plug into
the mains power. The scale no needs to be turned on.
• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.
• Left down side of the keyboard there is an LED to indicate the status of
battery charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the
internal battery will be recharged. If the LED is green, the battery has a full
charge. If it is red, the battery is nearly discharged and if yellow, the
battery is being charged.
• Do not use any other type of power adaptor than the one supplied with the
scale.
• Verify that the AC power socket outlet is properly protected.

Note: Please charge the battery before using the scale for the first time.

5. OPERATION
Initial Start-up

Warm-up time of 15 minutes stabilizes the measured values after switching on.

5.1 Power On/Off:

Switch on the balance by pressing on/ off key.
The display is switched on and the test is started and if want to switched
off, press again the key.

5.2 Zero
Environmental conditions can lead to the balance exactly zero in spite of
the platform not taking any strain. However, you can set the display of

your balance to zero any time by pressing key and therefore ensure
that the weighing starts at zero.

5.3 Tare

The weight of any container can be tared by pressing button so that with
subsequent weighing the net weight of the object being weighed is always
displayed.
• Load weight on the platform.

• Press key. Zero is displayed, and tare is subtracted.

• Remove weight on the platform. Tared weight is displayed. It can set only
one tare value. It will be shown with a minus value.
• Press G/N to change between gross weight and net weight.

• To clear the tare value, remove the load and press key. Zero is
displayed, tare weight is cleared.

5.4 Accumulation

The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing key. Before

operation scale should be stable and return to zero, accumulation available only
when weight more than 20d

Accumulation Operation

• Place the load on the platform.

• Press key, when displayed STABLE indication.

• Display will be show a memory indication ∑. These displays will be show
only three seconds.
• Remove the weight from the pan.
• When display get zero and stable then place the second weight.
• It can continue until the memory gets fully or 99 items.

5.4.1 Memory Recall

To recall the memory press key.

Display will be show the total saved value. These displays will be shown only
three seconds.

5.4.2. Memory Clear

To clear the memory, press key, display will be show total saved value and

press key Display will be show 0.00 , all accumulation memory cleared
from the memory.
