3. Safety information

Intended use. Fluctus is a connected hanging carcass scale for non-professional use. It weighs, for example, game carcasses and syncs the weight to the Tendy app over Bluetooth. Any other use is outside the intended use.

Not for trade use. Fluctus is not intended to be used as a scale in trade where the price is determined by weight. It is therefore not a non-automatic weighing instrument for commercial use under Directive 2014/31/EU.

Safe lifting. Make sure the hook and hanger are securely fastened before loading the scale. Never stand, and never allow anyone else to stand, under the suspended load. Avoid impacts and jerks when using the scale, and do not load it with more than 300 kg.​

Symbols on the device and packaging

  • Read the manual first

  • Keep dry

  • Do not stand under suspended load

  • Not for trade use

  • CE conformity

  • WEEE collection

  • Battery collection

Batteries

Fluctus is powered by three AAA batteries. Insert the batteries in the correct direction as indicated by the markings (+ and −) in the battery compartment. Do not mix old and new batteries, and do not mix different battery types or brands. Do not attempt to charge ordinary alkaline batteries. Remove the batteries if you are not going to use the scale for a long time, to avoid leakage. Dispose of used batteries at a battery collection point, not in household waste.

Service

There are no user-serviceable parts inside, other than the batteries. For service, contact [email protected].

4. Quick start

Turning the scale on and off

  1. Turn on. Insert the batteries, attach the hook and hanger, and hang the scale securely. Press ON/OFF. The display lights up and shows "0.00 kg" blinking three times. The scale then enters weighing mode.

  2. Turn off. Press ON/OFF to turn off manually.

Auto power-off. If the weight does not change and no button is pressed for 120 seconds, the scale will turn itself off to save battery.

What the buttons do

  • ON/OFF. Turns the scale on and off.

  • UNIT. Changes the unit of measurement. Hold for 2 seconds.

  • TARE. Zeros the display and locks the weight (see section 7).

5. Installing the batteries

Always make sure the scale is turned off and unloaded before inserting or replacing batteries.

  1. Open the battery compartment.

  2. Insert three AAA batteries in the direction shown by the markings in the compartment (+ and −).

  3. Close the cover until it clicks into place.

  4. Hang up the scale and press ON/OFF.

Replace batteries in time. When the display shows "LO", the batteries are almost depleted. Replace all three at the same time with new batteries of the same type.

6. Weighing, taring and changing units

Weighing

  1. Hang the scale securely by the hanging loop.

  2. Turn it on and wait until it shows 0.00.

  3. Hang the load on the hook. The weight is displayed when the reading stabilises.

Fluctus weighs up to 300 kg. Accuracy is approximately 50 g between 150 g and 100 kg, and approximately 100 g between 100 and 300 kg. The minimum weight for accurate weighing is 150 g.

Taring (zeroing)

Press TARE. The display resets to zero and blinks three times. For example, hang an empty carcass hook or bag first, press TARE, and then hang the load. The scale will then show only the weight of the load.

Changing units

Hold UNIT for 2 seconds. A beep sounds and the scale switches unit. There are three units: kilograms (kg), pounds (lb), and ounces (oz).

7. Lock and backlight

Lock function

The lock function holds the weight on the display, which is useful when the load is swinging. Hold TARE for 2 seconds while the scale is on. A beep sounds and the display shows "L_ON" or "L_OF". "L_ON" means automatic locking: the scale locks the weight automatically once it has stabilised. "L_OF" means manual locking: you lock the weight by pressing UNIT.

Backlight

Fluctus has dynamic backlight. If no button is pressed and the weight does not change for 20 seconds, the backlight turns off automatically. It turns back on as soon as you press a button or the weight changes.

8. Connect to the Tendy app

The Tendy app pairs with Fluctus over Bluetooth. Once paired, the weight you measure syncs directly to the app.

Download the app

Search for Tendy on Google Play or the App Store, or scan the QR codes below:

Get started

  1. Open the Tendy app and log in with email, Google, or Apple.

  2. Turn ON Bluetooth on your phone.

  3. When the app asks, grant Bluetooth permission to Tendy.

  4. Turn on Fluctus (press ON/OFF) and tap Pair device in the app when you are ready to sync the weight in to the app.

9. Cleaning and maintenance

Routine cleaning

  • Turn off and remove the batteries from the scale before cleaning.

  • Wipe the scale housing and hook with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Dry thoroughly afterwards.

  • Do not submerge the scale in water or rinse it under a tap. It is not waterproof.

What to avoid

  • Solvents, acetone, bleach, and abrasive cleaning agents

  • Submerging the scale in water

  • Overloading the scale with more than 300 kg

  • Impacts, jerks, and drops

  • Storage in damp conditions or in direct sunlight for extended periods

Long-term storage

If you are not going to use Fluctus for a long time, remove the batteries and store the scale in a dry, cool place. This prevents the batteries from leaking and damaging the scale.

10. Troubleshooting

Having problems with your Tendy Fluctus? Start with the error codes below.

Display

What it means and what to do

O-Ld

Overload. The load exceeds the scale’s capacity (more than 5% above 300 kg). Remove or reduce the load immediately to avoid permanent damage to the scale.

LO

Low battery level. Replace all three AAA batteries with new ones.

Other common questions

  • The scale does not show zero: Make sure nothing is hanging from the hook and press TARE.

  • Unstable or jumping readings: Wait until the load has stopped swinging, or use the lock function (see section 7).

  • The scale is not found in the app: Check that Bluetooth is on, that the scale is turned on, and that you have granted the app Bluetooth permission.

  • You do not need to add and take ownership of your Fluctus in the Tendy app the way you do with devices such as Libra, Scriptor, and Nemus. Fluctus syncs directly in the app without you needing to take ownership of it.

14. Waste disposal: WEEE and battery

Electronic waste. The symbols on the product, its accessories, or packaging indicate that the device must not be treated as unsorted household waste, but must be collected separately. Dispose of the device at a collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic waste (WEEE) if you live within the EU or in other European countries that have separate collection systems for such waste. By disposing of the device correctly, you help prevent possible risks to the environment and human health that could otherwise arise from improper waste handling. Recycling materials helps conserve natural resources.

Recycle the packaging separately in accordance with local regulations. Sort cardboard with paper, plastic film with plastic, and any metal parts separately. In France, the Triman logo and the Info-Tri sorting guide apply to the packaging.

Remove the batteries before disposal

  1. Turn off the scale.

  2. Open the battery compartment and remove the batteries.

  3. Take the scale and the batteries separately to your local recycling centre. Many municipal recycling centres accept both.
