KSh2,199.00
Here is a quick-reference table highlighting the main features of the DT580 weighing scale and what they do:
| Feature / Function | What It Does | Why It’s Useful |
| Price Computing | Enter a unit price via the keypad; the scale automatically calculates total cost. | Essential for quick retail sales (markets, butcher shops, produce stands). |
| Dual Power Supply | Runs on 2 x AA batteries or via a USB / AC power cord. | Makes the scale portable for outdoor markets or reliable for all-day countertop use. |
| Tare Function | Subtracts the weight of a container or empty packaging, resetting the screen to zero. | Allows you to measure only the actual product, net of the bowl or shipping box. |
| PCS (Piece Counting) | Calculates the total quantity of uniform, lightweight items based on an initial sample weight. | Great for inventory checks on small parts like screws, beads, or electronic components. |
| Multi-Unit Switching | Toggles instantly between kilograms ($\text{kg}$), grams ($\text{g}$), pounds ($\text{lb}$), and ounces ($\text{oz}$). | Handy for switching between local retail weighing and global shipping carrier requirements. |
| Backlit LCD Screen | Features high-contrast, large digits with an adjustable backlight. | Provides highly readable weight measurements in dim warehouse lighting or bright outdoor sun. |
| Overload Protection | Warns the user with an 0-Ld code if weight exceeds maximum limits. |
Protects the highly sensitive internal load cells from permanent calibration damage. |
The DT580 is a highly versatile, compact electronic digital scale. It is widely used as a commercial price-computing scale for small retail (like vegetables and meat), a high-capacity kitchen scale, and a postal shipping/parcel scale.
Its standout trait is its blend of a high maximum weight capacity (up to 30kg or 40kg) with an incredibly fine 1-gram precision, which is rare for scales handling that much weight.

Key Features & Functions
-

-
PCS (Piece Counting Function): Allows you to count uniform items (like screws, beads, or small parts) by weight instead of counting them individually by hand.
-
Tare Function: Resets the scale display to zero. Excellent for subtracting the weight of an empty box, bowl, or container so you only measure the contents inside.
-
Auto-Zero Resetting & Protection: Automatically tares to zero on startup and features built-in overload protection (displays
0-Ldif exceeded) to prevent damaging the internal load cell sensors.
Common Error Codes to Know
-
0-Ld(Overload): The item on the scale is heavier than its maximum capacity. Remove it immediately to avoid crushing the internal sensors. -
LO(Low Battery): The AA batteries are depleted and need replacing, or the scale needs to be plugged into its AC/USB power source.
