SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The QHW series of scales provides an accurate, fast and versatile series of general purpose weighing scales with counting, % weighing and check-weighing functions. There are 4 models in each series, with capacities up to 30 kg. They all have stainless steel weighing platforms on an ABS base assembly.
Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. The scale should be adjusted such that the bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of the level and the scale is supported by all four feet, If the scale rocks readjust the feet.
Func or Used to select the function of the scale. If the scale is weighing it will select parts counting. Of it is not in weighing mode it will return the user to weighing. Secondary function ( C ) , is to act as a clear key when setting values for parameters or other functions.
SECTION 5 DISPLAYS The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits. In addition there are labels for TARE, GROSS weight, ZERO battery Low Battery Symbol Stability Symbol GROSS 888888 TARE ZERO Checkweighing Symbols and for Low Parts Counting Units Weighing Units...
Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed. Press the TARE key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display.
After pressing the ZERO/ENTER key the scale will return to weighing with the Check-weighing function enabled. When a weight is placed on the scale the arrows will show if the weight is above or below the limits and the beeper will sound as described below.

Adding a second weight will repeat the process. While the weight is on the scale it is permissible to press the PRINT key to store the value immediately. In this case the scale will not store the value when the weight is removed.
The battery should be charged as soon as the arrow above the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for about 10 hours after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery.
