Question 1

Does this scale "time out" and turn itself off? If so, how long does it take for it to time out?

Accepted Answer

Oddly the instructions to program the scale auto shut off time is not in the manual that came with the scale. But I found a manual online which has the instructions to change this setting. Here's a slightly edited typed excerpt from the manual I found online.Weight Response Speed And Auto Turn-OffPress and hold the HOLD & POWER button. Wait for the 5 second countdown to complete. You will begin in Weight Respone Speed settings. Press MODE to cycle between the following options, nb0 (longest) nb1 (intermediate) nb2 (fastest). Press TARE to select an option. I left mine at the default nb0 as I want accurate readings. Once we've selected the Weight Response Speed we are put in the Auto Turn-Off settings. The default is OFF 1 (2 minutes), OFF 2 (5 minutes), OFF 0 (Disabled as in the scale will stay on forever or till the batteries die or AC adapter is unplugged, or if you're nice, you turn off the power).Hope that helps some people =)

Question 2

What is the voltage and minimum current requirement for the scale?

Accepted Answer

As you probably know, this scale runs on three AA batteries. The power adapter (search Amazon.com for: "AC Adapter For My Weigh 7000g and 300g Scales") has a non-polarized standard two prong American plug. This adapter will run on 100VAC-240VAC 50/60Hz and draws 0.3A. The adapter output is 5VDC at 300MA. Note: Although this adapter is made for American receptacles, it could of course be fitted with an adapter for another other country as long as the input is adhered to. Hope this helps!
