Thank you for purchasing Price Computing Scale. In order to

operate smoothly, to last the durability, and to reduce the chance
of breakdown for this product, please read this Manual carefully.

Instruction for Use

1. In order to prevent the scale from dust and static electricity, please fix the dustproof
cover on the scale with double-sided adhesive.
2. The scale should not be drenched by rain or water. (If it gets wet carelessly, please
wipe it dry with a cloth. If its operation is abnormal, please send it to our distributor for
service. )
3. Please keep the scale in a cool and dry place. Do not store at high temperatures or
damp places.
4. Please keep the scale clean and free from insect infestation.
5. To avoid impact and it is to be used under designated pressure (the weight put on the
platter can not exceed the maximum capacity of the scale).
6. If the scale is not going to be used for some time, please clean it and store it in a plastic
bag in dry condition. A desiccant sachet may be included to prevent moisture build up.
The scale should be recharged every 3 months to prevent failure of the internal
rechargeable battery.
7. The commodity should be placed in the center of platter for accurate weighing. The
dimension of the weighted commodity should not exceed the dimension of platter.
8. Please release the protection screw “4” before weighing.
9. Please operate or charge the scale in an open area. Do not squeeze the power cord to
avoid wire on fire.
10. Operating temperature: -10℃ ~ + 40℃
11. Any suggestion for product is welcomed.

Preparation Before Using

1. Put the scale on a firm level surface free for accurate weight readings. Adjust the four
leveling feet to get the leveling bubble at the centre of circle.
2. Scale must be used under a stable temperature and stable air flow. Avoid direct
sunlight onto the scale or near the exhaust port of ventilating system.
3. Scale must be used under individual socket to avoid the interference of other electric
appliances.
4. Remove any weight that might be on the platter before the scale is switched on.
5. Please note that when or symbol appears on the screen, the scale needs to
be charged.
6. Introduction of Storage Battery

 EXCELL PRECISION CO., LTD.

Due to the storage battery adopt the advanced free-maintaining technique, customers
need not to replenish electrolyte.
The scale should be recharged every 3 months to prevent failure of the internal
rechargeable battery.
1. The battery should be charged for 8~10 hours.
2. The temperature of battery should below 45℃.

Maintaining
1. Please do not discharge with over-current when using the battery. Please charge the
battery after discharging current.
2. Please take down the battery when the scale is not used for a long time or break the
connection of cathode.
3. Do not short the battery terminals to check whether there is current. Please check
whether the connection point is firm to guarantee good connection.
4. The battery should be replaced by specialized person. No reverse-battery or the
product will be damaged.
a) Anode of battery should be connected with Anode of product battery（usually red
cable）
b) Cathode of battery should be connected with Cathode of product battery (usually
brown cable or black cable)
c) See the picture following

Brown cable(or black cable)

connected with Anode of

Red cable connected with

Cathode of battery

Safety warnings
1. The electrolyte of battery is caustic which causes metal, cotton, etc to corrode.
2. The hydrogen will be resolved when using or charging the battery and it will cause
explosion when approaches fire.

No burning Caution Corrosion Warning explosion Children faraway
