4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

4.1 Tixgħel/Jitfi

• Biex tixgħel l-indikatur, agħfas il- QAWWA buttuna li tinsab fuq il-pannell tal-kontroll.
• Biex tintefa, agħfas u żomm il-buttuna QAWWA buttuna sakemm il-wiri jintefa.

4.2 Operazzjonijiet Bażiċi tal-Użin

• Żero: To set the display to zero, ensure the scale platform is empty and stable, then press the ŻERO 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.
• Gross/Net Display: Toggle between Gross (total weight) and Net (weight after tare) readings by pressing the GROSS/NET buttuna.
• Konverżjoni tal-Unità: Change the weighing unit (e.g., kg, lb) by pressing the UNITÀ button. Available units will cycle through with each press.

4.3 Stampar

If a printer is connected via the RS-232 interface, press the ISTAMPAR 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 Navigazzjoni tal-Menu

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.
