CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Introduction This manual contains specifications, operation instructions, and calibration instructions for Intercomp's model CS1500 crane scale. Specifications Controls General: Zero, lb/kg, Mode, Set, Print, Tare, On, Off Display: 5 ½ digit LED or 5 digit LCD...
8 disposable alkaline dry cells. Direct Power on crane unit, 120V (100723) This option allows the CS1500 to use 120V power instead of batteries. Direct Power on crane unit, 220V (100727) This option allows the CS1500 to use 220V power instead of batteries.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Operations Operating Practices Warning: The crane scale will be operated by qualified designated persons, trainees under the direct supervision of designated persons, maintenance and test personnel when in performance of their assigned duties, or lifting device inspectors.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Warning: Stay clear of suspended loads. Warning: Do not lift loads higher than necessary. Warning: Do not make alterations or modifications to the crane scale. Warning: Ensure all portions of the human body are kept clear of all device involved with the rigging during the lift.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Controls Press this button to turn the scale on. The scale tests itself; when these tests have completed successfully, the system begins weighing. Note: If you used the remote control to turn off the scale (the last time), you must first press the OFF key, then press the ON key.
Push-button versus keyboard: If the CS1500 is configured to have keyboard tare, pressing the tare key will bring up a screen that allows the user to enter a tare value. See the calibration section for how to configure the CS1500 for keyboard tare and how to enter a number.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Displaying the tare weight: If a tare weight is set, pressing the TARE key will display the current value of the tare. The tare will be displayed as long as you hold the key.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 MODE Moves through the available display modes; each time you press the button the display steps to the next mode. The 3 display modes are: Weight on the scale (lower indicator will be off)
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Remote Control All keys on the remote control are functional for the CS1500. This diagram aims to clarify any remote control functions that may not be obvious. Notes: Need to press twice to turn...
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Power/Batteries Replacement Remove the two caps in the back of the unit. Tip the old cells out. Change the cells, being careful to put the positive end in first (The end with the bump).
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Maintenance Periodic Inspection The crane scale and all associated adaptive devices require periodic inspection and maintenance. The frequency and recording of the inspection requirements are found in service categories below and are dependant on the type of service that the equipment is used in as described below.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 4. Inspect for excessive wear at hoist hooking points and load support clevices or pins. 5. Inspect for any visible bends or twists of all used rigging devices. 6. Inspect all latches and locks for proper operation (if applicable)
1. Press the ON switch. The display does a lamp test; during this time the scale does a quick check of itself. Then the weighing system starts weigh mode. 2. Intercomp recommends that you allow the electronics to operate for three minutes after first turning power on. This allows the electronics to become stable for maximum accuracy before you check the calibrations.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Calibration switch The calibration of the scale is protected from accidental change by a shunt placed on “CAL” (instead of “RUN”) of J8, located on the top/middle of the A/D 20 BIT circuit board.

(kg) 11. The scale shows “EE-06”. Simultaneously press the ZERO and lb/kg keys. This function not used by CS1500. 12. The scale shows “EE-07”. Simultaneously press the ZERO and lb/kg keys. Enter the sleep mode time in minutes (0 to 255). The sleep mode time is how long the scale's display will remain ON without any activity (a key being pressed or a change in weight).

CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Check for calibration blocking switch •At this point the scale saves any changes that have been made. •A check is than made to see whether or not the calibration blocking switch is enabled. If enabled, (CAL), the calibration procedure will continue. if disabled, (RUN), the scale returns to normal weighing.

CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 3: The push-button zero and AZSM can only operate within +/- 2% of the IZSM. 4: The over-capacity point is 103% of capacity above the IZSM. 18. The scale shows “EE-13”. Simultaneously press the ZERO and lb/kg keys.
25. Verify the calibration. 26. Calibration complete. Legal-for-Trade Sealing 1. On the front of the CS1500, replace the 2 upper right screws with the drilled screws provided. 2. Thread a lead & wire seal through these 2 screws. 3. Crimp the lead seal tightly.
Fully discharge the batteries by running the CS1500 until the display blinks “LB” (low battery) and keep the unit powered until the batteries are fully discharged. Following this, recharge the battery completely (typical charge time is 16 hours).

CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Problem: scale shuts off by itself Fix: Check the battery holder terminals. They may be bent and not making solid contact. If the scale turns off immediately after you take your finger off the button, there may be defective power circuitry or a bad keypad.
NOTE: a pressed key here will perform its designated function as well as exit the scale from sleep mode. [Minus signs fill the display]: The CS1500 is waiting for a stable reading to continue. Low batteries. This message blinks, and if ignored too long the unit will shut itself off.
CS1500, Users Rev T, June, 2010 Serial Output (Optional) The CS1500 can be set to output either a scoreboard (continuous) or printer ticket (demand). The default is a printer ticket, but this can be changed in the “calibration” section “EE-02”.

Net/Gross weight Total weight Peak weight The scoreboard is designed to work with Intercomp's S400 (4 inch) and SA2000 (2 inch) scoreboards. The following describes how to configure the S400 or SA2000 to work with the scoreboard output. The above diagram is the S400 switch pack layout, The SA2000 has pack C below B.
