Thank for your purchasing of our EXCELL Weighing

Scale. To guide you to use our product correctly, please
read this User Manual carefully to extend the life of
machine and to avoid error.

Preparing to Use the Scale

1. Locate the scale on a firm level surface free from vibrations for accurate weight readings.
Adjust the four leveling feet to centre the leveling bubble on the scale.
2. Avoid hot sunshine directly on the scale or near the exhaust port of ventilating system.
3. Please use a separate power source plug to avoid the disturbance of other electric
appliances.
4. There should be no weight on the scale when power is turned on.
5. Commodity should be placed at the centre of platter when being weighed, and its size should
not exceed the dimension of the platter.
6. Please warm the scale 15 ~ 20 minutes before using.

7. Please note that when symbol appears on the screen, the scale needs to be charged.
8. Any suggestion is warmly welcome.

Precautions for Use

1. Please operate or charge the scale in an open area. Do not squeeze the power cord to
avoid wire on fire.
2. Please keep scale in a cool and dry place. Do not store under high temperatures.
3. Please keep the scale clean and free from insect infestation.
4. Avoid impacting with other items or overloaded with excessively heavy weights (The load
must not exceed the maximum capacity of the scale).
5. 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 from building up.
6. Operating temperature: -10℃ ~ + 40℃
7. It is recommended to be used indoors and in environments with a height of less than 2000m
8. If the product is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, product warranty may
be limited.

9. 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

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.

Chapter 1 Introduction
1-1 Production Introduction
1. High performance A/D converter
 0.3 uv/D high sensitivity  zero point adjustable range -2mV~ +5mV
 Sampling speed 15 times/second  use range -4mV ~ +30mV
 non-linear scale 0.01% full scale  load cell stimulate power source 5V DC ±2% 100mA

2. According to different resolution to do linearity calibration

 Ordinary resolution models (below 10000)
Do specification calibration first then do weight calibration
 High resolution models (10000~30000)
Do linearity calibration first specification calibration  weight calibration at last
3. LCD display with LED backlight, powered by battery or plug-in mains, automatic power-off
function to ensure the stability of the scale. When battery voltage is lower than the system
voltage, scale is automatically powered off to ensure the accuracy and stability of the scale.
4. Check Weighing function for high limit and low limit and OK range.
5. 5 HOLD functions including animal scale HOLD
6. Depending on actual space, a RS232 card and/or a relay card can be installed.

And the (M+) indication “” will flash on the display. The indicator will recover to show
the weight value of the goods on the platter after 3 seconds and the (M+) indication “”
is on.
 The indicator allows the next totalizing operation, even when the weight value does not
return back to zero. The key is functional, when the weight value changes by more
than 10d. The indicator will save the totalized weight value after the weight is stable.
 The indicator can totalize positive or negative weight but can’t do both at the same time.
The totalized weight store must be reset to zero before it is possible to select positive or
negative totalizing mode.
 The totalizing function can be used up to a maximum of 9999 times before it must be
reset. The totalizing display is limited to 6 digits maximum.

Press key to display the total number of additions and the totalized weight value.
And the (M+) indication “” will flash on the display. The indicator will return to the
weighing mode after 3 seconds.
 The indicator will not display the negative sign “-” for negative totalized weight values
when recalling a totalized weight value, but when printing, the negative sign “-” will be
printed out (transmitted serially) for each negative weight and negative totalized weight.

hold 0 = No hold function

hold 1 = For varying weighing value, the scale will automatically hold the maximum weighing value to
display. To exit hold mode, press any key (except the key).
hold 2 = After the scale is stabilized, the scale will automatically hold the display value( not changeable
due to external variables)To exit hold mode, press any key.( except the key )
hold 3 = After the scale is stabilized, the scale will automatically hold the display value( not changeable
due to external variables).After zero return ( or weight is less than 10d), the scale exits the
hold mode automatically.
hold 4 = Animal Scale function. When animal is on the scale platter and is stable, the scale will
automatically hold the display value (not changeable due to external variables). After the
animal is off the scale platter, the scale exits the hold mode automatically.
hold 5 = Animal Scale hold function 2. Initially scale displays “0.000” on empty load. When animal is on
the scale platter and is stable, the scale will automatically hold and lock the display value (not
changeable due to external variables). When weight change (increment or decrement)
exceeds the defined “weight hold range”, the scale exits the hold mode and recalculates
weight. If weight is unstable, the average weight value will be displayed and held for 10
seconds.

Animal Scale Hold Function 2 (hold 5)

 How to activate – “Brazilian” Animal Scale Hold Function:
1. Select HOLD 5 in F8 menu. Set the Weight Hold Range (during weight hold, when weight
deviation [positive or negative] exceeds Weight Hold Range, the scale exits the hold
mode).
2. Display returns to weighing mode. Place an animal (pig, dog, cow, etc.) on the scale.
After the buzzer beeps, weight hold is complete.
3. Now you can try adding additional weight within Weight Hold Range to test if the weight
still holds correctly. Or you can remove all weight(s) to verify that the hold mode exits
automatically.

4. Repeat above Steps 2-3 to make 10 or more measurements, then compare deviations
among these 10 measurements.

 How to exit hold mode:

Suppose Weight Hold Range is set as 1.000 kg, and the weight held after stable is 8.543 kg
(now the weight is held with buzzer already beeped, weight value will not change), when
weight change (increment or decrement) equals or exceeds Weight Hold Range (i.e. 8.543kg
+ 1.000kg or 8.543kg – 1.000kg), scale will automatically exit hold mode, then scale will
recalculate holding weight (i.e. changing weight is displayed in real time until weight becomes
stable, and scale enters hold mode). This whole hold mode entry and exit process will repeat
continuously.
