Pairing the remote

  1. Press and hold Hold until -A- appears on the display.
  2. Press and hold key A on the remote when -a- is shown.
  3. Press and hold key B on the remote when -b- is shown.
  4. Press and hold key C on the remote when -c- is shown.
  5. Press and hold key D on the remote when -d- is shown.

When End appears, pairing is finished and the scale can be operated with keys A/B/C/D.

Using the scale

Switching on and off

  1. Press On/Off briefly to switch the scale on.
  2. Press On/Off briefly until oFF appears to switch it off.

At start-up the display shows, in order, the firmware version (for example A0.8.01), the battery voltage (for example U=6.80), the rated capacity (for example 3000) and the division value (for example 1, meaning 1 kg steps).

If the load on the hook is below 20% of the rated load, the display shows 0, meaning zero weight. If it does not, the system sets zero outside the range and the display shows the actual weight of the item.

Zeroing and tare

Manual tare / zero. Hang the item on the scale and press Tare/Zero briefly once the reading is stable. If the weight is below 2% of the maximum range, the reading changes to zero automatically and the tare light goes out. If it is above 2%, the system completes the tare, the tare light stays on and the zero light goes out.

Automatic tare / zero after 9 seconds. Press and hold Tare/Zero for 3 seconds until tAr-9 appears, then release. The display counts down tAr-x second by second. Hang the item, and the scale tares or zeroes itself the moment tAr-0 appears. If the reading is not stable the display shows ; once it settles, the display returns to zero automatically.

Accumulating weighings

With a weight greater than 0 on the hook, press Accumulate briefly to add the current reading to the total. The display first shows -x- (where x is the number of accumulated weighings), then the sum, and the accumulate indicator lights up.

Press and hold Accumulate to delete the accumulated values; the accumulate indicator goes out.

Locking the reading (Hold)

  1. Press Hold briefly to lock the display on the current weight. The Hold indicator lights up.
  2. Press Hold briefly again to release the lock. The Hold indicator goes out.

Calibration

  1. Before calibrating, make sure the scale is not exposed to anything that could disturb it — wind, vibration, magnets and similar.
  2. Prepare a reference weight.
  3. Press and hold On/Off until CAL appears.
  4. When a blinking 0.0 appears, calibrate the zero value. Make sure nothing is hanging on the scale, then press Tare/Zero — the system moves on to the next step by itself.
  5. When a blinking uncalibrated weight value appears, that value needs to be calibrated. Make sure the correct weight is on the hook and press Tare/Zero; the system saves the data and finishes the calibration.
note

If the scale shows No, the weight is too small or the load cell is out of adjustment.

note

To correct the calibrated weight value, press Hold or Accumulate to enter verification mode. Accumulate moves to the next blinking digit and Hold changes it. Press Tare/Zero to confirm.

Parameter settings (F0–F9)

  1. With the scale switched off, press and hold Tare/Zero, then press and hold On/Off until SEtuP appears.
  2. In settings mode press Hold to move to the next parameter, Accumulate to go back to the previous one, and Tare/Zero to enter it.
  3. Inside a parameter press Hold or Accumulate to change the value, then Tare/Zero to confirm.

Examples. To load a weight of 001234.5 kg for calibration the command is 01 30 30 31 32 33 34 45 AA 0D. To load 001000.0 kg the command is 01 30 30 31 30 30 30 30 AA 0D.

  1. Remove the weighed items from the hook fitting and send the zeroing (calibration) command code.
  2. Load the scale with a known weight. Send the calibration command code once the weight reading is stable.

The command code has a 10-byte format, as shown in the table above. If the calibration weight is too light it can cause the calibration to fail or the weight value to be inaccurate. Use a weight heavier than 1/3 of the range for calibration.

Continuous transmission format

Each data frame consists of 18 hexadecimal codes:

  • a 2-digit status code,
  • a 1-digit separator,
  • a 2-digit gross/net weight code,
  • a 1-digit separator,
  • a 1-digit weight polarity code,
  • a 7-digit weight value,
  • a 2-digit unit code,
  • a 1-digit end of line,
  • a 1-digit line break.

Example. A net weight of 1234.5 kg under stable conditions is sent as ST,NT,+01234.5kg — the 18 hexadecimal codes are 53 54 2C 4E 54 2C 2B 30 31 32 33 34 2E 35 6B 67 0D 0A.

Frequently asked questions

Is the wagPRO-H5000 certified for commercial trade?
No. The H5000 is not legally certified (non-verified) for settlements of commercial trade. It is intended for internal warehouse, production, logistics and agricultural weighing where certification is not required.
What is the minimum and maximum load?
The scale weighs loads from about 2 kg up to 5 000 kg (5 tonnes) with a measurement accuracy of ±2 kg. The maximum safety load is 120% of the nominal load.
How far does the remote control reach?
The included remote operates reliably at distances of up to about 40 metres, depending on line of sight and local radio conditions. It allows remote power on/off, taring and totalisation of measurements.
How long does the battery last on a single charge?
The built-in 5 000 mAh battery provides up to 4 days of continuous weighing or up to 2 weeks in standby. Charging uses the included 230 V mains adapter.
How do I pair the remote with the scale?
Press and hold Hold until -A- appears on the display, then press and hold key A on the remote when -a- is shown, key B when -b- is shown, key C when -c- is shown and key D when -d- is shown. The message End confirms that pairing is complete.
How do I add up several lifts into one total?
With a load on the hook and the reading stable, press Accumulate — the display shows -x- (the number of accumulated weighings) and then the sum, and the accumulate indicator lights up. Repeat for the following lifts. Press and hold Accumulate to clear the total.
What weight should I use for calibration?
Use a reference weight heavier than 1/3 of the range. A weight that is too light can make the calibration fail or make the calibrated value inaccurate. Before calibrating, make sure the scale is not exposed to wind, vibration or magnets.
Can I switch the display from kilograms to tonnes?
Yes. The displayed unit is set in parameter F6.Uni, where you can choose kilograms (kg) or tonnes (t). Enter the parameter menu with the scale switched off by holding Tare/Zero and then On/Off until SEtuP appears.
