Step 1. Position the scale in its area of intended use. Observe the following guidelines for
suitable location.
1. Choose a firm, stable floor or table.
2. Do not share an AC outlet with electrical noise producing equipment, such as refrigeration
units. This includes products with electrical motors and/or relays.
3. Do not place the scale in an area with changing ambient temperature and/or high humidity.
4. Do not place the scale in an area prone to exposure to direct sunlight, wind, or dust.
5. Do not place the scale in an area with vibrating equipment.
Step 2. Install the AC Adapter.
1. After placing the scale in its area of use, locate the AC Adapter.
2. Connect the male end of the AC Adapter to the connector on the rear of scale, and then plug
the adapter into an AC outlet. Make sure that the AC voltage appearing at the wall outlet
matches the input voltage marked on the AC adapter.
Step 3. If applicable, install the serial printer, remote scale or computer to the COM1 serial port.
1. Connect the printer or computer to the COM1 port using the optional serial cable. See
Appendix B for cabling requirements and pinouts.
2. Configure the communication parameters and select the device type as detailed in Section
5.3.
Step 4. Turn the scale’s AC power on to begin use. When the scale is switched on for the very first time,
the message " d-ZonE " appears on the display. Press the numeric key corresponding to the
correct geographic area in the map shown in Figure 2-2 then press the SAMPLE / SAVE key to
save. Note – If there is no corresponding geographic area, enter “0” then press the SAMPLE /
SAVE key. No gravitation adjustment will be performed.
