13. HOW TO CHANGE THE DIGITS

Press key move and blinks the current digit to right digit
Press key increment the current digit to the next available value.

14. BATTERY CAPACITY

• When the indicator is being poer on|off, battery capacity will be displayed for 1.5 seconds.
• When the battery capacity is less than 20%, the display will start to blink, power off the indicator to avoid over
discharging battery or connect the external main power supply.
• When the battery capacity ≤ 10%,the indictor automatic turn off to avoid battery over discharge
• In auto power off mode, If weight is stable and no key operation for more than >3 minutes, The indictor
displays [- ] to conserve battery
• When auto power off setting is action, If weight is stable and no key operation > 30 minutes automatic turn off
power
• A full charged battery life is approximately 30 hours.

15. UNIT OF WEIGHING (kg and lb)

kg or lb is selectable. The unit of weighing is kg normally. You can change it to lb by pressing and holding key 2 seconds
at least.
16. CONNECTION TO MINI-PRINTERS
Connect serial interface printer with the following way:

Indicator Mini Printer

3 ----TXT---- 2
5 ----GND---- 7

Note: Before connection to printer, communication address is set as Adr=01; baud rate is set as b=2400.

Print operation with serial port printer is as follows:

16.1 Print: at weighing status, weighing data >20d and display is stable, press , weighing sheet
is printed out. The second printing can be operated only when the weighing data is back to <20d.
16.2 Accumulated print: at weighing status, press , then press , accumulated printing can be operated.
16.3 Auto Print: set to be automatic accumulation status, i.e. automatic print.
On weighing mode: weighing data >20d and display is stable, weighing sheet is printed out. The second printing can be
operated only when the weighing data is back to <20d and more weight is loaded.

Following with print sample:

Normal printing Accumulation printing
