GENERAL

• The Digital Veterinary Scale, model H740-10, uses sophisticated microprocessor technology. Each precision instrument is designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable weight measurements with features that make the weighing process simple, fast and convenient.
  

  

• The scale is set up to use motion-sensing weighing technology to determine the actual weight of an active animal. Weight is displayed on the indicator in either pounds or kilograms.
• The scale includes a specially designed removable rubber mat for easy cleaning.

Power supply

The scales operate either on a rechargeable battery or an AC adaptor.

SET UP

This H710-10 digital veterinary scale has been calibrated at the factory. It is shipped in four parts: the base assembly, display assembly, rubber mat and rubber feet.

1. Take the H740-10 Veterinary scale out of the packaging. Remove each piece from its packing material and unwrap carefully to prevent scratching the unit’s parts.
2. Tilt scale on its side and screw in the four legs into the base of the scale
3. Turn the base assembly right side up.
4. Place the display unit on a table or mount it on the wall.
5. Place the rubber mat on the base assembly, inside the designated frame.
6. To operate using the AC adaptor, insert the AC adaptor cable into the back of the indicator and the AC adaptor plug in to a power source. The rechargeable batteries automatically go into recharge mode when the AC adaptor is connected to the power source.
   When the cable is inserted into the power source the LED lights up red (to the left-hand side of the cable on the back of the indicator). When the battery is completely recharged the LED changes from red to green.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Weighing

1. To turn on the scale, press the ON-OFF/ZERO key, and 0.0 lb/kg will appear on the display.
2. Place the animal to be weighed on the scale. The display will show “WEIGH,” then the animal’s weight. Two arrows will appear on either side of the display and the scale will beep to indicate the end of the weighing process.
3. To reweigh the animal, press the REWEIGH key.
4. To change the display from pounds to kilograms, and vice versa, press the kg-lb key.
5. To turn off the scale, press and hold the ON-OFF/ZERO key for at least three seconds.

Using the Tare Function

The Tare function is used to deduct accompanying weight (such as collar or bandaging attached to the animal). Tare function can be set either manually or automatically:

Manual mode:

• The scale display must show 0.0lb/kg on the right-hand side of the display and ZERO in the upper left-hand corner.
• Press the BMI/tare key for 3 seconds and release immediately once the tArE (tare) message flashes on the display.
• A 33lb /15.0 kg default value will appear which can be increased or decreased (according to the weight of the product) by pressing on the last two keys.
• The upward arrow increases the value, and the downward arrow decreases the value.
• Once you have reached the weight value required press the BMI/tare key and the programmed value will appear with a minus sign next to it.
  Continue with the weighing process as required. To cancel the manual tare operation, remove all weight from the scale and press the Tare key for 3 seconds and release immediately.

Automatic mode:

1. With the scale set to 0.0lb/kg, place the extra load on the scale. The display shows “WEIGH,” and then the weight of the load.
2. Press and hold the TARE key for three seconds. The display returns to 0.0lb/kg and “TARE” appears on the left side of the display.
3. Remove the load from the scale. The weight of the load appears with a minus symbol to the left.
4. Place the animal on the scale with the load. The display then shows the animal’s weight without the weight of the load.
5. The weight of the load remains stored in memory, so you can continue to weigh animals with the same tare weight..
6. To cancel the tare weight, remove all weight from the scale, and press the TARE key again. “TARE” then disappears from the display. The tare weight is also cancelled when the scale is turned off.
