Install the handle in the vertical position by inserting the ends into the circular sockets attached to the wheels. Secure the handle by using two M6 screws at each end.
4.0 KEYPAD [On / Off] Turns the scale on or off only [Print/Hold] Sends data via RS-232 and combines with Hold functions, if enabled Selects kilograms, pounds, ounces or pounds-ounces [Unit] [Tare/Zero] Sets the display to true zero or net zero by storing the current weight in the tare memory 5.0 DISPLAY 6.
7.0 BATTERY • CPWplus standard and CPWplus-P (for USA only) can be operated from 6x AA batteries, if desired. • CPWplus-W, CPWplus-M and CPWplus-L scales have an internal rechargeable battery. When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will turn on. The battery should be charged when the symbol is on. • To charge the battery, connect the power supply module to the rear of the indicator and apply power. The scale need not be turned on.
• The scale will turn off automatically to conserve battery life if the automatic turn off parameter is set (see section 13.1.1). To turn off the scale press the [On/Off] key. • A battery symbol will be on when the internal battery needs to be re-charged. Connect the power supply module to the rear of the indicator and switch on the mains. 10.2 ZEROING • The ZERO and TARE function is combined into one key [Tare/Zero]. • You can press the [Tare/Zero] key at any time to set a new zero point.
subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The indicator “Net” will be on. • As a product is added to the container, only the weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one. Again only the weight of the product that is added after taring will be displayed. • When the container is removed a negative value will be shown.
11.0 RS-232 INTERFACE The CPWplus scales come with a bi-directional RS-232 interface. U Interface parameters are: U Connection details are: Connector: 9 pin D-subminiature socket Pin 3 Output Pin 2 Input Pin 5 Signal Ground RS-232 output of weighing data ASCII code Selectable Baud Selectable data bits Selectable Parity U Normal OutputU: (See section 13.1.7) add: A G/W: + 2.00 kg add: A N/W: + 1.
12.0 CALIBRATION • Occasionally the scale should be verified whether it is weighing correctly by measuring to a known mass. • Zero the scale. Place the mass on the centre of the platform and note the reading. Calibrate the scale, if necessary. PROCEDURE • While in the normal weighing mode, press and hold the [Tare/Zero] key for 4 seconds. • The display will show “CAL” along with the last selected unit. The unit can be changed by using the [Unit] key to calibrate in kg or lb. • Press the [Print/Hold] key.
• Place the correct calibration mass as selected by the user at the centre of the pan. • Press the [Unit]. The display will return to weighing mode. Note: If the mass loaded is more than ±20% of the factory calibration reference then an error message “CALEr” will be displayed and the scale will return to weighing without calibration being saved. Repeat the process correctly. • Remove the weight. • Verify the scale is calibrated correctly. Repeat the process, if necessary. 13.0 PARAMETER SETTING 13.
13.1.1 AUTO POWER OFF • The first parameter is to set the auto power off function. The display will show “Pr oFF” (DEFAULT SET). • Press [Tare/Zero] to toggle between “Pr on” and “Pr oFF”.
