indicator. It adopted the AD IC of famous semiconductor factory in USA. It has high precision, high
stability, high credibility, zero code adjust and widely of the input signal, upper and lower limit setting
and alarm, peak test (selectable). The indicator can be made many kinds of electronic scale connected
with load cells easily such as platform scale, ground scale, vehicle scale, oil scale and animal scale. It
is a perfect indicator which can be used in business，industry and etc.
Main Function of XK3100-B2:
1. With AC/DC power supply, 4V 4Ah no-maintenance battery and high efficiency recharging circuit
2. Low power cost, can be used for 200 hours after recharging(only with one load cell and not
open the backlight)
3. Auto adjust of zero code (tare automatically), input signal range: - 6 mv ----- +21 mv
4. Calibrate with digital keyboard (locked by hardware and software)
5. 6 digits LCD display, 24 mm high of symbol, backlight can be selected Zero auto track

3. Load cell connected with indicator

1) It is 5-pin plug. Figure 3-3 indicate different pins define.

2) It must use shielded cable and the shielded cable must be connected with GND (can through the
GND of AC power plug), otherwise the indicator reads will not be stable.
3) If using the shielded 4-pin cable, you must connect +V, +S and –S, –V. Otherwise it will affect the
indicator.
4) You could turn on the indicator after connecting load cell, Otherwise it will display abnormally.

CHAPTER 6. Operation
1. Keyboard instruction:
(1) 【Cali.】 To modify some calibration parameter.
(2) 【Mode】 To select function: Weighing, Counting & percentum.
(3) 【Unit】 To select unit: kg or lb.
(4) 【Set】 To select up and low limits range in weighing model.
To sample the weight in counting and percentum model.
(5) 【Zero/B.L.】 To make weight zero when nothing on the platform but the display is not zero.
Press this key 2-4 seconds, the backlight will be switched on or off.
(6) 【Tare】 To set/delete the tare.
(7) 【↑/ ON/OFF】 To input number.
(8) 【Enter】 To confirm
2. Operation instruction:
When power on, the indicator will be in weighing model. The “Zero” flag and “kg” flag disappear.
You can press【Mode】to select model: weighing, counting, percentum.
Tare:
Press 【 Tare 】 to make the weight window display “Zero” after the weight is stable. The “Tare” flag
disappears. The weight is Net. Remove the poise, the displays is negative. Press 【Tare 】 again, the
displays is zero. The “Tare” flag disappear.
Note: (1). Tare function can set and set continuously only the weight is over zero and stable.
(2). Tare range: 99999 (if the display data is over 99999, not include the decimal, tare function is
ineffective)
Zero:
Press【Zero】to make display zero. (Zero range: <=4%FS, it is invalid under tare state.)

【Weighing mode】
Select Unit: Press【Unit】to select the unit between “kg” and “lb”. The corresponding flag disappears.

Setting Alarm Function:

1. Up limit setting--Press【Set】will display the up limit and the signal “-HH-” circularly. Press【Enter】to
confirm and setting the low limit. Press 【 ↑ 】 to set the number. In the process of inputting the
number, you can press【↑】to increase the recent digit. Press【Enter】to confirm recent digit and set
the next digit. If the digit is the last one you may press【Enter】to set the low limit.
2. Low limit setting--It will display the set weight low limit and the signal “-LL-” circularly when you begin
to set it. The operation is the same as setting up limit. It will go into the alarm method setting after
the low limit setting finished.
3. Alarm method setting—It means in the range alarm when the scale displays “-IN-”. It means out of
the range alarm when the scale displays “-OUT-”. It means no alarm when the scale displays “-NO-”.
You may press【↑】to switch. Press【Enter】to confirm.
Press【Set】to exit from the setting when in the process of setting. The set value is invalid.

【Counting mode】
Press【Set】to sample weight in the counting model. It displays “SAP X” (X is the sample number).
1. Put enough samples on platform and press 【 ↑ 】 to select samples number: 10, 20, 50,100 &
200,500,1000. Press【Enter】confirm.
2. The window displays “LOAD-C” after the sample number is selected. Press【Enter】to finish sample.
3. There are two instance of unit weight lacking:
a. When the weight window displays “-SLAC-”, it means the unit weight of sample is less than 80%
of division. You still can count but the counting may be inaccurate. The signal will disappear
after about 3 seconds.
b. When the weight window displays “-CSL-”, it means the unit weight of sample is not enough at
all. Please press【Set】to re-sample. Press【Enter】to exit and return weighting.
Press【Set】again it will exit from the sample state.

【Percentum mode】
7
 E-57
1. Press【Set】in the percentum state to display “LOAD-P”. There are two ways to sample:
a. Put enough samples on the platform and then press【Enter】to finish sample.
b. Press【Unit】 then the scale displays “000000”. Press【↑】and【Enter】to input the weight value.
2. When the sample weighed less than 0.1% FS., the window displays “-CSL-”. It means the sample is
not enough. You should re-sample. Press【Set】to re-sample. Press【Enter】to exit return weighing.
Press【Set】again it will exit from the sample state

Caution: The up and low limit range and alarm ways will be saved, different unit VS different alarm
range and ways.

【Set weighing speed】

1). During the self-checking from “999999” to “000000”, Press【Mode】,【Set】together, loosen when
hear the buzzer
2) After self-checking, indicator will show present weighing speed “Spd n”, there are 5 speed for
selection (n=0 … 4). “Spd 0” is the fastest, “Spd 4” is the slowest. Press 【↑】 to select the weighing
speed, press【Enter】 to confirm and exit to general weighing state

3. Warning and Error message:

(1) The weight window displays “-----” with continuously alarm sound when the weight over
100%FS+9d, if the ADC overflows, the weight window displays “—Adc—”with continuously alarm
sound. For these instance, the weight should be taken away.
(2) If the voltage of the indicator is low, the window displays “—Lo—” while the window displays
zero（The display will recover to normal when it is loaded. Under this condition, you can use
the indicator in a short time, but you should recharge the indicator as soon as possible. It will
display“-AC-”if you charge the indicator when switch off, but no display if charge during
usage.
(3) If over initial zero range when switch on, it will display “HHHHH”or“LLLLL”。
(4) The weight show“UNSTA” if the scale is unstable when power on ，Please check the load
cell connection either credibility or in free state.
(5) Display“—SYS—” when power on, the calibration data is wrong， Please calibrate again or
repair.
(6) Please extend the zero range if can not enter sleep state or return back once enter sleep
state.

CHAPTER 7. Using Ambient and Condition

1. The indicator is not used for the surroundings as follows:
(1). At libation and rock places.
(2). At sunshine places.
(3). At high temperature, much dust and moist places.
2. GND well, ensure safety to use.
3. Be care to charge the battery in time when use DC power supply and set off the power when do
not use and do not charge。
4. Washing with cauterant is forbidden.
5. Indicator without water and mixture.
6. Weighting indicator is precision measuring instrument. Nation calibration measuring department
will responsible for the adjustment of theindicator.
