4.4. Powering up the instrument
A. Using the AC adapter: Plug the AC adapter into the connector on the back of
the instrument, then plug the AC adapter into a 110-volt outlet.
B. The instrument will perform a warm-up cycle.
• Display test—countdown from 9 to 0 with all legends tested
• PROM revision briefly displayed
• Display then goes to zero, provided the weight on the scale is at zero or
within 10 divisions of zero. If outside the 10-division window, the scale will
show the current weight on the scale.
C. Place an item on the scale platform, read the weight, then remove the item.
The instrument should return to a “0.0” display. Place the item on the platform
again. The reading should be the same for both weighments. If the
instrument indicates different weights or does not return to “0.0” refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide, Section 5.
D. Please use publication 51219 (FB1100 Series Owner’s Manual) enclosed with
your scale for the detailed instructions regarding instrument features and
operation.
NOTES: Battery Power: The battery is not fully charged when shipped. For
optimum battery life, fully charge the unit for 14 to 16 hours prior to
placing the scale in service.
If the instrument continues to display “--------” press the ZERO key to begin
weighing. If motion exists, display will show “--------” until motion stops.
If the instrument continues to display “ErrOr” this indicates an uncalibrated
instrument. Press the ZERO key or the internal “Cal” switch and begin set-
up and calibration.
