2.0 INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing your new grain scale which is based upon the Core series of Balances. The CQT1751GR model has been specifically developed and designed to be used to assist in the grading of grain to asses the quality of the grain as well as to give an indication of the Kilograms per hectolitre (kg/Hl). 3.0 SET UP 3.1 UNPACKING AND SETTING UP YOUR SCALE 1) Remove the shipping protection screw and round cover as shown below using the Allen key supplied in the box.
3.2 INSTALLING BATTERIES Remove the battery compartment cover and insert six batteries (R6P/LR6 /AA size) into the battery compartment. 3.3 OVERVIEW - DISPLAY / KEY BOARD BEHIND AC adapter socket Lock down slot TOP Stainless Steel pan Plastic Pan LCD display [On/Off] key Turns the balance power on/off [S/P CE] key Stores weight readings and does percentage calculation as well as clearing stored values.
BOTTOM Battery compartment screws Battery compartment cover Batteries are not included DISPLAY ZERO indicator Indicates when the scale is at zero. STABLE indicator Indicates when the reading is stable.
3.4 LOCATING AND PROTECTING YOUR SCALE In order to keep your scale functioning at its best we suggest that you do the following: Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. Make sure the scale is located on a strong table and free from vibration. Avoid unstable power sources. Do not operate near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors.
3.5 STORING WHEN NOT IN USE If you have any of the HighlandTM series or CoreTM or Grain Scale product lines you can store them easily on top of each other. To save space and protect them from damage.
4.0 BASIC OPERATION 4.1 TURNING ON THE SCALE Plug in the unit using the AC adapter or power from the batteries and press the [on/off] key. 1) The scale will show automatically grn- X.X, “XX” meaning software revision number “grn” meaning it has grain scale software and then show the voltage X.X Vol where “X.X” is the voltage of the batteries if being used on battery power or the AC adapter after that the scale will then count from 0 to 9 for a few seconds. Finally it will display "0.
4.5 GRAIN DETERMINING 1) Turn on the scale and wait for the scale to come to zero. Then put on an empty 500ml container and press the [Recall / Tare] key. >0< Net 0.0 9 Store Kg/Hl 2) Load the 500ml container with the grain. The screen shows the net weight (the first net weight) of the grain (in this example lets say the total weight was 400g). Net 400.0 9 g Store Kg/Hl 3) Press the [S/P CE] key, it calculates the relation between g and Kg / Hl and saves the value.
4) Now remove the container and perform the screening operation. 5) Then put the same 500ml container back on to the scale. The scale will show 0.0g on the display. 6) Add the screenings to the container, the display shows the weight of the screenings. For this example say 30.0g ► Net 30.0 9 g Store Kg/Hl 7) Once the stable light has shown on the display press the [S/P CE]. The balance will show Store 2 for 2 seconds and then “xx.x Kg / Hl”. If the screenings were 30.
9) To review the 1st and 2nd stored weight and percentage values that have been stored into the memory simply press the [Recall / Tare] key to scroll through the various weights. These are stored in the memory even if the scale has been switched off so you can tell if only one stored weight is in the memory that you need to complete the weighing of the screened grain, if 2 stored weights are in the memory but it does not show percentage if you press the [S/P CE] key it will calculate the percentage.
5.0 PARAMETERS The scale has 2 parameters that can be set by the user. FUNCTION Auto Off Backlight 5.1 SECTION See section 5.2 See section 5.3 DESCRIPTION Sets the auto power off function Sets the backlight OFF BL backlight is off 1 BL backlight is automatic 2 BL backlight is always on PARAMETER SETTING • Press [On/Off] to turn the balance off. • Press and Hold the [Recall/Tare] key and press the [On/Off] key to switch the scale on, the scale will show “grn-1.
5.3 SETTING THE BACKLIGHT The backlight may be enabled or disabled by the user. If the backlight is disabled, the battery life will be longer. The following settings are available: 1 BL 2 BL OFF BL Sets the backlight to operate automatically when a weight is placed on the scale or a key is pressed. Sets the backlight to be on at all times. Sets the backlight to be off.
6.0 CALIBRATION Calibration may be required when the scale is initially installed or moved to a new location. Over time and use, mechanical deviations may occur so it is recommended that you calibrate you scale regularly. Before calibrating your should make sure you have a suitable weight. The weights should be known to an accuracy that is appropriate for the balance being calibrated, for example, OIML Class M1 type or ASTM E617 Class 4. If you do not have proper weights do not attempt calibration.
7.0 TROUBLE SHOOTING 7.1 ERROR MESSAGES If an error message is shown, repeat the step that caused the message. If the error message is still shown then contact your Adam Equipment dealer for support. ERROR CODE ADO ADL ----- Unit-E FAIL DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSES A/D Value too high. Weight on the pan when turning on. Improper calibration of the scale. Damaged load cell. Damaged Electronics.
