1. Introduction
We greatly appreciate for your purchase of the CAS industrial indicator.
These goods have hold excellent performance and splendid properties
through strike Tests as well as devoting ourselves under severe quality
management.
CAS indicator (NT-series) is shaped firmly and delicately designed
a coincide with the special requirements of several industrial fields and
includes many functions and various external interfaces. Also, it is
programmed on the basic of the user's convenience and contains help
display functions to be used easily.
Before using NT-580A, It is recommended to read this manual carefully
and to apply the function application fully.

Precautions
Observe the following safety precautions :
Warning
When any damage or defect
occurs, contact your CAS
authorized dealer immediately
for proper repair.
Insert plug firmly to wall outlet to
prevent electric shock.
Scale must be grounded to
minimize electricity static. This
will minimize defect or electric
shock.
Do not pull the plug by its cord
when unplugging. Damaged
cord could cause electric shock
or fire.
To prevent from fire occurring,
Do not place or use the scale
near flammable or corrosive
gas.
To reduce electric shock or
incorrect reading, Do not spill
water on the scale or place it in
humid condition.
Avoid placing the scale near
heather or in direct sunlight.

5
Attention
For consistent and accurate
reading, maintain periodical
check by your CAS authorized
dealer.
Avoid sudden shock to the scale.
Internal mechanism could by
damaged.
Attach the rubber pad to the
bottom of the indicator.
Elimination is possible.
Place the scale on firm and
temperature consistent
environment.
Keep the scale away from other electromagnetic generation devices.
This may interfere with accurate reading.
Our Dealers : CAS feels that each of its valued customers should get the best service
available. Whether it’s the initial installation of our product,
maintenance/repair work, or simply answering questions about our products,
