2. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how the SC/SE Series Washdown Scales work and how to get themost out of them in terms of performance. Please read this manual completely before
using the scale.

3. FEATURESThe SC/SE Series Washdown Scales have the following features: Dust-tight and water-tight construction, complying with IP68.
Water will not enter the scale even if immersed to a depth of 1 m for 24 hours.
 The weighing platform of the SC series is made of stainless steel (SUS304), and the SE
series, steel. The weighing pan for the SC series is made of stainless steel (SUS304),
and the SE series, stainless steel (SUS430).
 As a power source, size D batteries are used. The battery life, when Alkaline batteries
are used, is approximately 5,000 hours.
 A large LCD with a character height of 39 mm is used.
 Two weighing platform sizes are available. The SC-KAL and SE-KAL series have alarger weighing pan, and the SC-KAM and SE-KAM series have a smaller weighing pan.
Select a model that suits your own application.
 Two types of weight display resolution are available, normal (1/3,000) and high (1/6,000
or 1/7,500).
Note: The weight display resolution of the Legal for Trade models is fixed.
The selection in the function setting is not available.
 The counting function easily counts the number of objects of the same weight.
 The comparator function compares the displayed value (weight value) with the upperand lower limit values and shows the results. The optional OP-03 (SCE-03) comparator
relay output can output the results as a relay signal.
 The optional OP-02 (SCE-02) USB interface and OP-03 (SCE-03) RS-232C serialinterface can transmit the weight value to a personal computer.

7. BASIC OPERATION
7-1. Turning the power ON and OFF
1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the power ON.
All the display symbols appear and the scale waits for the weight value to become
stable.
After the weight value internally becomes stable, the display turns off for a momentand zero is shown with the ZERO indicator (power-on zero).
If the weight value is unstable, the display shows “”. Check if anything
touches the weighing pan, or check if there is strong wind or vibration. And
eliminate the cause of the error.
The range for power-on zero is within ±50% (within ±10% for the Legal for Trademodels) of the weighing capacity (kg) around the calibrated zero point.
If the power is turned ON while there is a load beyond this range, the scale shows“”. Remove the load from the weighing pan.
 If the scale is to be turned ON with some item loaded, performing a zero calibration
with the item loaded will allow the scale to turn ON that way. (Refer to “9.
CALIBRATION”.) In this case, make sure that the total weight of the item loaded at
power-on and the object to be weighed is within the weighing capacity.
2. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the power OFF.
