2. INSTALLATION 2.1 Location Use the scale on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current, vibrations, heat sources, or rapid temperature changes. Adjust the leveling feet so the bubble is centered in the circle.

Level Bubble 4 x Leveling Feet

Figure 2-1. Leveling the Scale.

2.2 Power Connect the AC Adaptor to the AC mains supply. Connect the plug to the DC jack on the bottom of the scale. The scale may be operated on the AC Adapter connected to mains supply or 4 alkaline batteries. Note: The AC adapter maybe optional or included with the scale, depending on the region.

2.3 Rechargeable Battery Power Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours before using the scale on battery power. The instrument can be operated during charging, and the battery is protected against overcharging. For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room temperature. Note: Availability is depending on region as accessory. WARNING: Only charge the battery when the ambient temperature is between 0 and 140 °F / 0 and 40 °C.

ValorTM 1000 Series

2.4 Initial Calibration When the scale is operated for the first time, a Span calibration is recommended to ensure accurate weighing results. Before performing the calibration, be sure to have the appropriate calibration weight. You can also Contact an OHAUS servicing-scale dealer for more information. Refer to section 4.1 for Span calibration procedures. Required Span Calibration Mass (sold separately) Max Mass 2000 g; 3000 g 2 kg / 6 lb 5000 g; 6000 g 5 kg / 15 lb 10000 g; 15000 g 10 kg / 30 lb 20000 g; 30000 g 20 kg / 60 lb

3. OPERATION 3.1 Turning Scale On/Off Press On/Off to turn the scale on. The scale will find and set the zero weight point automatically after it displays the software version. In weighing mode, short press On/Off for more than 3 seconds to turn the scale off.

3.2 Weighing Once the scale has a stable zero weight and the tare weight of any packaging or container has been captured, place the product being weighed on the platform -the display will show the weight of the product in the selected unit of measure.

4. SETTINGS The scale allows the user to customize several settings including calibration, backlight operation, unit change and auto shut-off. Long press Menu for more than 3 seconds until you see C.A.L. Release the Menu key after you enter the user menu.

4.1 Calibration Menu Enter this menu to perform calibrations.

Once the scale displays C.A.L, press On/Off to enter the Calibration Menu and perform either a Span or Linearity calibration. For legal-for-trade use, this may have to be done in accordance with local weights and measures requirements. Contact your local servicing scale dealer for more information. Press Tare to exit Calibration and to move on to the Setup Menu. Note: Calibration is not permitted in some regions or when the scale is in Approved mode. SPAN [SPAN] Initiates a span calibration procedure using a span calibration weight equal to the full capacity of the scale. Press On/Off to enter the SPAN calibration routine, or press Tare to proceed to a Lin calibration. When 0.000kg is shown, short press On/Off to capture the zero weight if the platform is empty. When the full capacity of the scale is shown, place a weight equal to the capacity of the scale and short press On/Off.

If the scale displays "Cal-E", one of the weights used to calibrate is wrong and the scale did not complete calibration. To exit calibration at any point, short press Tare/Menu. Lin [LIN] Initiates a linearity calibration procedure (zero, mid-point and span). When performing a linearity calibration, the scale will prompt you for a zero weight - the platform without anything on it and weight display at zero -- a Midpoint weight equal to 50% of the Span weight, and a Span weight equal to the full capacity of the scale. When 0.000kg is shown, short press On/Off to capture the zero weight if the platform is empty. When the half capacity of the scale is shown, place a weight equal to 50% of the scale's capacity on the pan and short press On/Off. When the full capacity of the scale is shown, place a weight equal to the capacity of the scale and short press On/Off. If the scale displays "Cal-E", one of the weights used to calibrate is wrong and the scale did not complete calibration. To exit calibration at any point, short press Tare/Menu.

End [End] Press On/Off to advance to the Setup Menu, or press Tare to return to Span calibration.

Note: To exit a calibration at any time, press and hold the On/Off key until the scale shuts off.

4.2 Setup Menu Enter this menu to set balance parameters. Light: Unit: Auto shut-off: End

Off, On, Auto kg, g, lb, oz, lb:oz A00, A01, A05, A10, Off Exit menu

Note: Units vary for different regions or models. Light [L.I.G.H.t] This sets the operation of the display's backlight. ON = always on OFF = always off AUTO = Turns on when a button is pressed or the displayed weight changes. Alternatively, turns off the backlight when the displayed weight does not change for more than 10 seconds. Unit [U.N.I.t] The Valor 1000 allows one weighing unit to be used at a time. Units can be changed in this menu setting and will appear when you exit the menu. Press On/Off to enter the Unit submenu. You will see "kg" displayed for kilograms. Press On/Off to accept kilograms as the weighing unit and exit the Unit submenu, or press Tare to move to the next unit. Auto Shut-off Menu [a.-O.F.F] Set the automatic shut off time for the scale. A00 = powers off after 5 minutes of no activity with battery powered only; disabled with AC adapter powered A01 = powers off after 1 minute of no activity A05 = powers off after 5 minutes of no activity A10 = powers off after 10 minutes of no activity Off = disabled

5. LEGAL FOR TRADE When the scale is used in trade or a legally controlled application, it must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all pertinent legal requirements are met. As the requirements vary by jurisdiction, the purchaser is advised to contact their local weights and measures office for instructions about putting the balance into service.

5.1 Settings Before verification and sealing, perform the following steps: 1. Confirm that the selected unit of measure is permitted by the local weights and measures regulations. 2. Perform a calibration as explained in Section 4.1. 3. Set the position of the security switch as shown in Section 5.3.

5.2 Verification A weights and measures official must perform the verification procedure. Contact the local weights and measures office for more information.

5.3 Sealing A LFT switch under the sealing cover is used to secure the menu settings. When the switch is pressed, the menu settings may be viewed but not changed. This sealing cover is located at the bottom of the scale. Remove the sealing cover with a screwdriver and then press the switch when the scale is powered on. After that you will see "LFt .ON" is displayed on the screen.

Important notice for V12P...-M verified weighing instruments in the EU When the instrument is used in trade or a legally controlled application, it must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all pertinent legal requirements are met. Weighing Instruments verified at the place of manufacture bear the following supplementary metrology marking on the descriptive plate.

Weighing Instruments to be verified in two stages have no supplementary metrology marking on the descriptive plate. The second stage of conformity assessment must be carried out by the applicable weights and measures authorities. If national regulations limit the validity period of the verification, the user of the weighing instrument must strictly observe the re-verification period and inform the weights and measures authorities. As verification requirements vary by jurisdiction, the purchaser should contact their local weights and measures office if they are not familiar with the requirements.
