Dear customer, thank you for buying this PTM product.
We advise you to read this manual carefully in order to use the product at best.
SAFETY AND MAINTAINANCE INFORMATION FOR PTM SCALES
Never open the protection box of the scale.
Should the scale be damaged, or should liquids have soave in, have the scale checked by a service
point.
Never pull the cables in order to disconnect the scale, but unscrew the connectors in the right way.
Do not lay the device cables (e.g. load cell cables, data transmission cables, cables to control relay
boards, etc.) near supply cables of other electric or electronic devices.
Supply the device with tensions consistent with the technical features of the product.
Have installation and maintenance work carried out by qualified staff.
Do not lay the cables which are connected to the scale near moving mechanical parts.
It is possible to clean the scale outside by using a soft and damp cloth, avoiding solvent or abrasive
substances.
Do not expose the scale to temperatures higher than the limits indicated in the technical features.
In order to reach a longer duration, do not expose the scale directly to atmospheric events, such as
rain, snow, frost, etc.
Never unscrew the grounding clamp which can be found on the protection box of the scale.
Do not use sharp or cutting tools to press the keys.
In case of installation, maintenance and reparation of the scale or the load cells, carry out a weight
check / calibration before making the weighing system operating.
Should the scale be equipped with data saving through USB Pen Drive or Memory Card, insert the
saving device in the correct way.
Before carrying out installation, maintenance and reparation works on the scale or the load cells,
disconnect all the machines which could be connected to the weighing system.
Should the scale be equipped with relay boards, never connect the board directly yo electric
engines, devices with a higher tension than 110V, etc.
During the charge of the machine battery, disconnect the power supply cable from the scale.
Before carrying out weldings on the machine, disconnect all the cables from the scale.
In case of weldings on the machine, place the grounding clip near the welding point, in order to
prevent electric current from passing through the load cells.
All responsibility for installation, maintenance and reparation works falls on the person who carried
them out.
ATTENTION!
Do not use high-pressure devices to clean the weighing scale and the load cells.
PTM S.r.l. reserves the right to make changes at any time without previous information, in order to
improve the quality of the product.

“UNLOAD” FUNCTION
Press key in order to start an unload : the weighing system records as initial weight the
visualized weight. During unload the weight will decrease . At unloads end the weighing
system records as final weight the visualized weight. For difference it is calculated the quantity
memorized with the date and the unloading time. The weighing system memorizes the last 100
effected unloads. The user can block by hand the unloading operation by pressing . In
this case the recorded weight as the final weight will be the visualized weight when unload is
blocked. During the unload you can use only key “stop” :
At unloads end the unloaded quantity will be printed in an automatic way. On the display will
appear the message “print in progress.…”.
“TIME” MENU
In order to enter in the “Time” menu press from the “Total weight”
menu.
It allows to select the right date and time. You have to press in order to move to

“SETTINGS” MENU
In order to enter in the “setting” function press key from “Total weight”.
It allows to set the conversion ratio (Kg/l or l/Kg), the conversion ratio between kg and lt and
the unit of measurement. To select the option to be changed, use the keys .
The parameter “Conversion Ratio” allows to select the unit of measurement of the conversion
parameter. The parameter “Conversion ratio” allows to select the unit od measurement of the
parameter of conversion volume. In case of “Kg/l” you need to specify the parameter “milk
weight”, that is the weight expressed in kg for one litre of milk. If you select “l/Kg” you need
to specify how many litres of milk correspond to the weight of one kg(milk volume).
If the parameter “Conversion Ratio” is set on kg/l, to enter the menu press the key , if
the parameter is set on l/Kg press the key .
The parameter “Unit of measurement” is needed to set which unity of measurement between
kg and l you want to use.
To change the selected option, use the keys ▲ and ▼. If you are changing the conversion
ratio, press to pass from one value to another. Press to return to the
“Total Weight” menu.
“ DATA VISUALIZING” MENU
In order to enter in “Data visualizing” press from the menu “Total weight” menu.
This function visualizes unloads operations, which you have executed. Data visualized are:
unloads date and time, the unloaded quantity. The weighing indicator memorizes the last 100
unloads operations . To pass from a record to another use . By pressing key
you can print a visualized record. If you want to print a records interval, you can reach
“interval print” with . If you press it returns in “Total weight” menu.
