2.4 Powering Up the DC-782
The DC-782 can be operated either from an AC power source or with a rechargeable battery pack (DC power).
The DC power allows the unit to be completely portable. Instructions for DC operation are contained in
Section 2.4.2.

To power up the DC-782 using the AC power cord:
1. Connect the AC power cord under the scale base as shown in Figure 2-2.

2. Plug the AC power cord into a grounded 115 VAC receptacle.
3. Press the ON/OFF key located
on the front of the scale. The scale will run through a check of the LCD
display’s segments. How thorough the segment check is depends on the setting of SPEC 20, Bit 2. The
default is 0: Fast (For further instructions on how to set the scale’s specifications, see Section 3.2.1):
• If SPEC 20, Bit 2 is set to 0: Fast, the scale display
’s 888’s for 1.5 seconds, then blanks for 1.5
seconds. It then displays 888’s again followed by a blank display for another 1.5 seconds before
going into the normal weighing mode.
• If SPEC 20, Bit 2 is set to 1: Standard, the scale’
s display will test the LCD segments for each
numeral from 0 to 9, asterisks, decimal points and annunciators before going into the normal
weighing mode.
