Device installation
1.
Place the scale on a flat surface. Make sure it does not touch the wall or other structures on the
sides. It is recommended that the scale is positioned so that the power cord and power indicator
LED are on the side of the device.
2.
Place the suitable waste container on top of the scale. (If the scale is used so that the weight of the
container is selected at the time of entry, this need not be done.)
3.
Plug in the power supply of the Android tablet and switch it on.
4.
Connect the tablet to the Internet via either WiFi or a SIM card data connection. Note that in some
locations, IT support requires the tablet's MAC address to allow its WiFi network traffic. The MAC
address of the tablet can be found in the supplied documents.
5.
The accessory stand allows the tablet to be mounted on a tabletop or wall.
6.
Turn on the scale by plugging in the power supply. The green LED on the side of the scale lights up
when the device is ready for operation.
7.
Open the “WasteScale” app from the tablet desktop and sign in with your
SmartKitchen credentials.
8.
Select the correct scale from the settings in the application menu.
9.
If the scale does not show 0.000 kg, tare it from the application menu. If the scale does not show
0.000 kg, tare it by pressing and holding the weight reading window on the display. The increasing
bar in the window reflects the progress of the tare. When tare is complete, the scale will show
0.000 kg.
