THE ON/OFF SWITCH
Press the ON/OFF switch (see Figure 4) and observe the turn on sequence shown in Figure 5. During this sequence the balance
is doing an automatic systems checkout to insure it is functioning properly.
If your balance was purchased with the optional 9000-INT motorized internal calibration weight, all objects on the stainless steel
pan must be removed before turning on the balance using the front panel ON/OFF switch. Press the ON/OFF switch and observe
the turn on sequence shown in Figure 5. With the 9000-INT installed, the balance will then load the internal weight on and off
the weighing sensor in order for the internal weight to be positioned correctly. Please wait until all weight readings have stopped
changing, the “OK” annunciator appears, and the motor is silent before zeroing the balance and starting weighing operations.

THE ZERO SWITCH
Pressing the ZERO switch (see Figure 4) at any time returns the display to zeros. When a weighing that has been zeroed out is
removed from the pan, a negative reading is displayed. To return to zeros, press the ZERO switch. An optional remote foot zero
switch is available as an accessory.
UNIT OF WEIGHT SELECTION
Pressing the MODE switch (see Figure 4) starts the unit of weight cycle as follows: grams(g), carats(ct), pennyweights(dwt), troy
ounces(ozt), and ounces(oz). When the desired unit of weight appears, press the MODE switch a second time to select that unit
of weight.
An optional, factory installed, user specified, custom unit of measure is available. If you have this special unit of measure feature
in your balance, (A) appears in the unit of weight cycle after ounces. Press the MODE switch to select this function.
THE SEND SWITCH
NOTE: Scientech balances are DTE (computer) devices. If communicating to another DTE device (ie computer), a
special Scientech RS232 cable (PN10697) is required. If you are communicating to a DCE device (printer), a modem cable
is required. Scientech offers an optional modem cable (PN10170) for your convenience.
Pressing the SEND switch (see Figure 4) sends the information on the display to an external device via the RS-232 interface.
You may send the time and date along with the weight reading when you press the SEND switch or you may send weight
readings automatically at user specified time periods (see the Bi-directional RS-232 Command Set, Type 4 Commands section for
details). Weight readings may also be sent to a computer or printer continuously every 200 milliseconds (see the RS-232 Front
Panel Configuration section for details). Weight readings may be sent automatically when the balance reaches stability (see
Selectable Filters section). An optional, factory installed, remote foot send switch is also available.
