1.0 INTRODUCTION The CBC series of scales are general purpose counting scales. Refer to the Operators Manual for details of operation. This manual will cover details of calibration and troubleshooting. If you have a problem with the scales that is not directly addressed by this manual then contact your dealer or Adam Equipment for more assistance.

+ 10% of the factory calibration). The old calibration data will be retained until the some softwares calibration process is complete. Scale is unstable. There vibration draft making the scale unstable. Electronics may be damaged. @Adam Equipment Company 2005...
Schematics are attached in order to complete the documentation. However it is rare that the problem due to a faulty component on the PCB is traced by a user. The main PCB assembly includes: A/D converter (AU1), Microprocessor (DU1) and Power supply/battery charger circuits (DU5, T2). @Adam Equipment Company 2005...
Record the new password number in a secure place. This is used to set the speed at which the scale will run the ADC. The settings are 7.5, 15, 30 and 60. The slowest setting is 7.5 and the fastest is 60. @Adam Equipment Company 2005...
When calibration is done the display will show the counting from 0 to 9 and then return to normal operation. If an error message “ ” or “ ” is displayed, then re-check the calibration and repeat it, if necessary. @Adam Equipment Company 2005...

CBC/CBW scales amplify the input by 200, and change the no load voltage to about +2.5V. The amplified and offset voltage is measured at pin 6 of IC7, the INA118P amplifier IC. This voltage is sent to the filter and then to the A/D converter. @Adam Equipment Company 2005...
• Remove the top pan and take out the 5 screws from the bottom of the scale. • Detach the 4 cables connected with the Load-cell, Display, Power Switch and Battery Chamber from the main PCB. @Adam Equipment Company 2005...
