1. INTENDED USE
WTC precision scale enables fast and accurate mass measurements under
laboratory conditions. The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped
with an anti-draft shield, is an integral part of the WTC scale. Due to a backlit
LCD display the measurement result is clearly visible. The scale is equipped
with an internal battery which allows its operation in places where there
is no access to the mains.
WTC scale is equipped with the following interfaces: RS 232, USB type A, USB
type B. The interfaces enable cooperation between the scale and peripheral
devices (e.g. printer, computer, flash drive).
2. OPERATION PANEL
Keys:
Press to switch the weighing device on/off – hold the key for about 1
second.
5
Press to tare the scale.
3. START-UP
Connect the power supply to the mains. Plug it to the power supply socket
(back side of the scale housing).
Press key. The key is also used to switch the scale on/off.
Display test proceeds (all symbols are backlit for a moment), program
name and number is displayed first, ZERO indication with reading unit
next (displayed reading unit is conditioned by scale type).
In case the weighing result is not zero after indication stabilisation, press
key.
The scale is ready for operation.
