Ensure that all parts are accounted for:
• WeighSouth WS10 Indicator
• Weighing Platform
• Column
• Wall Mount Bracket
• Required parts bag
• Operation manual
The correct location is crucial to the accuracy of the weighing
results. Select a stable, vibration-free and level location. The ground
must be able to safely bear the weight of the fully loaded scale.
1. Set the weighing platform on the selected level workplace
2. After first removing the platter, loosen the shipping screws
located at each corner of the platform. Three full turns of
the screws is necessary. The scale will not function properly if
the shipping screws are touching the top sub assembly.
3. Attach the column to the underside of the bottom frame by
using the 4 hexagon head screws supplied. On certain models
choose which side of the weighing platform will better suit
your needs.
4. Tuck the load cell cable in the column and out the top of the
column.
5. Attach the indicator to the column using the Thumb screw
provided.
6. Attach the Load cell connector to the WS10 Indicator by lining
up the ports correctly.

1.4 Battery instruction
1. When you use the internal battery first time, you should
charge the battery fully, to prevent low voltage resulted from
self leakage of battery.
2. When the “battery” light is on, means low battery.
3. The light turns to yellow during charging
4. When the light turns to green, means fully charged.
5. If the battery is not used for a long time, take it out to avoid
leakage

2.2
Power on & off
Press 2 seconds to power on or power off, after power on the
indicator show ”000000-999999”.
2.3 Zero operation
1. Initial zero setting:
When power on the indicator, if the weight on the scale
is within the initial zero tolerance, indicator show zero
automatically.
2. Manually Zero setting:
When the scales is stable, and not the negative display, you can
zero the weight within tolerance by press key.
2.4 Tare operation
Press “TARE” key, the gross weight is tared, indicator shows
the Net weight, the “Net” “tared” status light is on. At tare mode,
Press” TARE” key, clear the tare weight, the indicator will show the
gross weight.
2.5 Accumulation operation
At Zero mode, load weight till stable, Press go to accumulation mode,
”Total” light on, display” n 001”, and then display loaded weight; unload
the weight, back to zero, load the second weight again till stable.
Press display”n002” then display the second loaded weight. Repeat
it agin and again, maximum 999 times.
Check the accumulation
Press “TOTAL “key and hold it then press “ON/OFF” key,
display ”n**”, (it is the accumulating times) then show total weight.
there are 8 digits totally. It shows the first 4 digits then the last
4 digits. For example, the first 4 digits is”0012”, the last 4 digits
is”34,56” It means the actual weight is “1234.56”
EXIT the accumulation function
When the indicator show the last 4 digits, Press hold it, the
indicator shows “clrn”, it means don’t clear the total Weight, Press
“PRINT” key to exit it; if you want to clear total weight, Press
“ZERO” or “TARE” key, “clrn” change to “clry” it means clear total
weight, then Press “PRINT” to clear the total weight and exit ac-
cumulating mode.
2.6 Print
If the weighing is stable, after connected with printer press
”PRINT” can print the weight. Note: at tare mode, print with tare.
If negative weight, cannot print. Set C30 for time format.
2.7 Hold
There are two different hold functions. Peak hold function
and data hold function the setting is different accordingly.
C11=3 Automatic hold function
C11=0 close hold function.
2.8 COUNT
1. At weighing mode, load the weights on the platform scales,
Press ”Count” the indicator show” PCS 0” press” Zero” key
input the quantity and press” Print” to confirm it.
2. Load the goods on the platform scales and then the indicator
will show the quantity.
3. Press” Count” back to weighing mode.
4. If you want to weigh different goods, at weighing mode, put
the sample on the platform scales, press” Count” the indicator
show ”0” Press “ Count” hold it and then press “ ON/OFF”
the indicator show” PCS 0”, press “Zero” input the sample
quantity, press “ Print” to confirm it. Then repeat the step 2
and 3.
3. Calibration and Parameter setting
