4. Uputstvo za upotrebu

4.1 Uključivanje/isključivanje

• Da biste uključili indikator, pritisnite POWER dugme koje se nalazi na kontrolnoj tabli.
• Za isključivanje pritisnite i držite POWER dugme dok se displej ne isključi.

4.2 Basic Weighing Operations

• nuliranje: To set the display to zero, ensure the scale platform is empty and stable, then press the NULA button. This compensates for minor weight variations on the platform.
• Taring: To subtract the weight of a container (tare), place the empty container on the scale and press the TARE button. The display will show zero, and subsequent weight readings will be the net weight of the contents.
• Bruto/neto prikaz: Toggle between Gross (total weight) and Net (weight after tare) readings by pressing the BRUTO/NETO dugme.
• Konverzija jedinica: Change the weighing unit (e.g., kg, lb) by pressing the JEDINICA button. Available units will cycle through with each press.

4.3 Štampanje

If a printer is connected via the RS-232 interface, press the PRINT button to send the current weight reading to the printer. The indicator supports configurable print formats, which can be set up through the menu system.

4.4 Navigacija izbornikom

Access advanced settings and configurations by pressing the MENU button. Use the numeric keypad and navigation buttons (if available on your model) to move through menu options and adjust parameters such as time, date, and communication settings. Refer to the comprehensive technical manual for detailed menu structures and programming instructions.

5. Održavanje
