3.2 LOCATING

AND

PROTECTING

YOUR

SCALE

In order to keep you scale functioning at its best we suggest that you do the

following:

Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in

direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.

Make sure the scale is located on a strong table and

free from vibration.

Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large

users of electricity such as welding equipment or

large motors. Do not mix batteries and use only the

factory approved power adapter supplied with the

machine. Do not use batteries and the AC adapter at

the same time.

Keep free from vibration. Do not place near heavy or

vibrating machinery.

Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation.

Keep away from direct contact with water. Do not

spray or immerse the scales in water.

Do not place near open windows, air-conditioning

vents or fans that may cause a draft and unstable

readings.

Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the

scale / balance when it is not in use.

4.0 BASIC

OPERATION

4.1 TURNING

THE

SCALE

Plug in the unit using the AC adapter or use batteries. Do not use battery power and

the AC adapter at the same time.

1 To turn on press the [on/off] key once and release. All of the segments on

the display will light up, then the display shows zero >0<

2 The scale is ready to be used.

3 To turn the scale off after use press the [on/off] key again. There is an auto

power-off function that will automatically turn the unit off after 4 min of

inactivity or no change in the weight reading.

4.2 ZEROING

TARE

You can press the [Tare] key to set a new zero point and show the zero reading if

the weight reading is less than 4% of the total of the maximum capacity of the scale.

This may be necessary if the weight is not reading zero with nothing on the

platform. The zero indicators will light up: >0<.

If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and

press the [Tare] key, providing the container weight is more than 4% of the

maximum capacity of the scale, the display will show zero and tare indicator will

light up. You can then weigh your object in the container. Taring weight subtracts

from the total scale capacity.

Note: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale

was tared just before removing the container, this value is the gross weight of the

container plus all products which were removed.

4.3 WEIGHING

To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container (if used , then

place the sample in the container. The display will show the weight and the unit of

weight currently in use.

5.0 FUNCTIONS

5.1 AUTO

POWER

OFF

The auto power off helps conserve power when using on battery or the AC adapter,

the machine will automatically turn off after 4 min of inactive use or no change in

the displayed weight.

6.0 CALIBRATION

Before calibrating the Dune series it is best to turn on the unit for about 1 min to let

the components warm up.

1 Press [on/off] key to turn the power on, if it is not already.

2 Press and hold the [Unit] key, until “CAL” is displayed

3 Remove any weight from the pan.

4 Press the [Unit] key, the display will flash “CAL” them will show the cal mass

required. If the cal mass is not displayed then the machine is not stable or is

not within a zero range. Turn off the unit and try zeroing the display before

trying another calibration.

5 Place the appropriate calibration mass on the scale:

Model Calibration Mass

DCT 201 200g

DCT 2000 2000g

DCT 5000 5000g

6 After the stable reading the display will show “PASS” then revert to the

weighing mode. If the calibration does not pass the display will show “FAIL”

and shut off.

7 The calibration is now finished. If the calibration is correct, the display will

show the weight value.

NOTE: If the calibration fails retry, if it still fails then there may be damage to the

mechanics or an issue with the power. If you do not follow the procedures in a

timely manner the machine will automatically switch off and the calibration will

not be accepted.
