[Limit] It sets the limits for check A secondary function weighing and allows setting of is available to move the active digit either the low limit or the high to the right when setting values for limit or both. parameters or other functions. It enters the percent weighing A secondary function function.
5.0 DISPLAYS The LCD display will show a value and a unit to the right of the digits. Other labels are TARE, GROSS, ZERO, (Stable) and (Low battery). OPERATION ZEROING THE DISPLAY • You can press the [Zero/Enter] key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing and counting is measured.
TARING • Zero the scale by pressing the [Zero/Enter] key, if necessary. The zero indicator will be on. Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed. • Press the [Tare] key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value and it is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display.
PARTS COUNTING • Before beginning, tare the weight of any container that will be used, leaving the empty container on the scale. • Press the [Func] key to begin. The scale will show " " asking for a sample size of 10 parts. Change the sample size by pressing the [Tare/ ] key.
• The limits are displayed in Kg. • Pressing the [Zero/Enter] key will return the scale to weighing, with the Check-weighing function enabled. • When a weight is placed on the scale the arrows will show whether the weight is above or below the limits and the beeper will sound as described below.
• When the current limits are shown, press [Func/C] to clear the settings and then press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the zero values. ACCUMULATED TOTAL • The scale can be set to accumulate when a weight is added to the scale automatically or manually by pressing [Print].
AUTOMATIC ACCUMULATION • When the scale has been set to Automatic Accumulation the value is stored in memory automatically. • Add a weight to the scale. The beeper will sound when the scale is stable indicating the value is accepted. Remove the weight. •...
PROCEDURE To set parameters, press the [Func] and [Print] keys at the same time. • The display will show " " where can be 1, 2, 5,10 or 20. The first value shown is the default scale increment value. • To change to a different increment value press [Tare/ ]. •...
7.1.4 Auto zero range • The auto-zero will automatically set the scale to zero when the displayed weight is almost near zero. This helps to make sure that the scale is measuring weight from an accurate zero starting point. • The Auto zero value can be set to 0.5, 1, 2 or 4 scale divisions. The normal setting is 1 scale division.
• Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed value and continue to the next parameter. 7.1.7 Speed at which the machine will run the ADC • The slowest setting is and the fastest is . The default setting is usually .
9.0 RS-232 INTERFACE The CBW scales can be ordered with an optional RS-232 output.

10.0 CALIBRATION • The CBW scales are calibrated using metric weights and the CBWa scales can be calibrated using either metric or pound weights, depending on the weighing unit in use before calibration. • To start calibration turn the scale off and then turn it on again. Press the [Tare] and [%] keys together once, during the initial counting from 9 to 0 on the display.
11.0 ERROR CODES During the initial power-on testing or during operation, the scale may show an error message. The meaning of the error messages is described below. If an error message is shown, repeat the step that caused the message. If the error message is still shown then contact your dealer for support.
