2. Wireless Connection
Note: One wireless indicator only can connect with one wireless weighing transmitter, and both
wireless communication frequencies should be same. Wireless communication frequencies are set in
factory and user cannot change. Regular wireless communication frequency is 430MHz
If user wants to use two or more than two set of wireless weighing indicator and wireless weighing
transmitter, wireless communication frequencies must be different. Please let salesman know and
wireless communication frequencies will be set in factory.
1. Connect wireless weighing transmitter with load cell.
2. Switch on wireless weighing transmitter until the wireless function works.
3. Switch on wireless weighing indicator and calibrate.
4. In configuration mode, set Con to Con=78.
5. When indicator wireless lamp flashes, wireless weighing transmitter and wireless weighing indicator
are connecting.
6. Then, to calibrate wireless weighing indicator and configure.

15. Safety precautions

1. Do not expose indicators to either direct sun light or any heat sources.
2. Do not use indicators in hazardous area or in dusty environments.
3. Weight cannot more than max weighing
4. Do not use strong solvents (such as: benzene, nitric acid oil) to clean the indicators.
5. Never flood the Indicator, immerse it in liquid or pour liquids on it.
6. Do not open the indicator! The warranty is void if this stipulation is ignored. The indicator may only be
opened by authorized persons.
7. Battery is recharged when AC power connects.
8. Use short pin to test indicator: if indicator doesnt displays weight number, please switch off it, take off
load cell connector and take on short pin. Switch on indicator, after displays 0-9 self-test patterns. See
following two situations:
a. Indicator displaying one number means indicator works well.
b. Indicator displaying many mass numbers means indicator needs repair.

16. Services
The Warranty time is in one year after sale date of non-human failure. Indicator is lifelong service.
(NOTE: Battery is not under warranty)
