1. Safety Guide
For good performance and precise measurement, be careful
with daily operation and maintenance.

 Do NOT overload scale. This will damage loadcell and void

warranty.
 Do NOT leave load hung on the scale for long. This will
decrease scale’s accuracy and shorten loadcell’s life.
 Inspect shackle and hook before using. Check clips, pins and
screws regularly.
 Check battery frequently. When scale runs out of power, replace
the dead batteries with new ones.
 Rotate load rather than scale if needed.
 Do NOT use scale under thunder or rain.
 Hang scale on shelf in dry and well‐ventilated room. Do NOT
place scale on the ground directly.
 Do NOT attempt to repair scale yourself. Contact your local
representative.

7. Operations
Power On/Off
 Press for 1s to power‐on scale. Scale perform initialization
and power‐on test, shows twice, then capacity
shows, battery life percentage shows,
weight detection shows and then auto zero.
 For information about Auto‐Zero, refer to Scale Configuration in
Technical Manual.
 Press for 1s to power‐off scale. Battery life percentage
shows, off message shows, and then cut off
power.
 When 3 batteries voltage is lower than 3.2V, scale will auto
power‐off itself. Please replace the dead batteries with new
ones.

Zero
 Press for 1s to zero. shows.
 If load is in motion, or tared, or out of Manual‐Zero Range,
shows.
 For information about Manual‐Zero Range, refer to Scale

Configuration in Technical Manual.

Tare In/Out
 In gross mode, press to tare in. shows.
 If load is in motion, or negative, or out of Tare Range,
shows.
 Tare will reduce the apparent overload range of scale. For
example, if a 5000*2kg scale has a 1000kg container as its tare,
the scale will overload at a new weight of 4018kg (5000 – 1000 +
additional 9 divisions).
 In net mode, press to tare out. disappears.

Lock/Unlock
 Press to lock screen. shows.
 Press to unlock screen. disappears.

Unit Switch
 Press for 1s to switch unit in between kg, lb, and User
Unit.
 When unit is kg, shows. When unit is lb, shows.
When unit is User unit, shows.
 For more information about User Unit, refer to Scale
Configuration in Technical Manual.

8. User Setup
 Press and at the same time for 1s to enter User
Setup menu. shows.

Auto‐Off Timing
 Press to enter Auto‐Off Timing. shows.

High Resolution Digital Crane Scale User Guide

 Press to change timing value.

 Auto‐Off Timing can be set to: (disabled), (5min),
(10min), (15min), (30min), (60min). It is disabled
by default.
 Auto‐Off function maximizes scale’s battery life against people’s
carelessness not to power off scale when it’s not working.
Auto‐Off starts countdown timer when there’s no action or load
is stable. Any key pressing or motion in load restarts
countdown timer.

Backlight Brightness
 Press to enter Backlight Brightness. shows.
 Press to change brightness value.
 Backlight Brightness can be set to: (disabled), (dim),
(normal), (bright).
 Dim backlight brightness saves battery power dramatically.

Idle Mode Timing

 Press to enter Idle Mode Timing. shows.
 Press to change timing value.
 Idle Mode Timing can be set to: (disabled), (5sec),
(10sec), (15sec), (30sec), (60sec). It is 30sec by
default.
 To maximize battery life, scale automatically enters Idle Mode,
when there’s no action or the load is stable. In Idle Mode, scale
works in low‐power consumption status. Any key pressing or
motion in load wakes up scale from Idle Mode.
 Press to exit User Setup.

9. Battery Maintenance
To maximize battery life, please note the following battery
maintenance guide.

 This scale is powered by a 3 AA 1.5V batteries.

 Battery house can be opened by screwing off 2 screws.
 Depending on backlight brightness and idle mode setting,
battery works over 65 hours.
 In order to conserve battery life, enable Auto‐Off and Idle Mode,
dim backlight brightness.
 To obtain maximum service life, battery should be stored
between ‐20℃ (‐4°F) and +50℃ (122°F). Stored batteries
should be recharged every three months.
 When 3 batteries voltage is lower than 3.2V, scale will auto
power‐off itself. Please replace the dead batteries with new
ones.
