1.0 INTRODUCTION • The CBW series of scales provide an accurate, fast and versatile series of general purpose weighing scales with counting, % weighing and check-weighing functions. • There are 2 series of scales - CBW scales which use kilograms as the default unit and the CBWa range of scales have changeable units from pounds to kilograms. The scales in these series share the same functions except the CBWa series have the ability to change the weighing units.

3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 3.2 LOCATING THE SCALE • The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. • Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. • Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate. • Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors. • Do not place near vibrating machinery.
the level and the scale is supported by all four feet. • Attach the power supply cable to the connector on the bottom of the scale. Plug in the power supply module. The power switch is located on the base on the right side of the scale. • The scale will first display the model number (CBW 30- where 30 denotes the capacity of the scale in kg), followed by the revision numbers (1.2-2.03 where 1.2 is the current hardware revision number of the main circuit board and 2.
[Limit] It sets the limits for check weighing and allows setting of either the low limit or the high limit or both. A secondary function is available to move the active digit to the right when setting values for parameters or other functions. [%] It enters the percent weighing function. Allows the weight, unit weight, and count to be seen when parts counting. A secondary function is available to move the active digit to the left when setting values for parameters or other functions.
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, / O (Stable) and (Low battery). 6.0 OPERATION 6.1 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. This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show the indicator for “ZERO”.
6.2 TARING • Zero the scale by pressing [Zero/Enter]. The zero indicator will be on. Place a container on the pan and its weight will be displayed. • Press [Tare] 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. The "TARE" indicator will be on and the “GROSS” indicator will be off. As product is added only the weight of the product will be shown.
6.5 PARTS COUNTING • Before beginning, tare the weight of any container that will be used, leaving the empty container on the scale. • For CBW- 6H /12aH, place the sample first and then press the [Func] key. For all other models first press the [Func] key to begin. The scale will show "P 10" asking for a sample size of 10 parts. Change the sample size by pressing the [Tare/Ï] key. The display will cycle through the options: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and back to 10. • Place the number of samples on the scale.
6.6.1 Setting up Check-weighing while weighing • Press [Limit]. It will show the current High Limit with the left most digit flashing and the HI symbol on the left of the display. • To select the digit to be changed press [Limit/Î] or [%/Í]. Use [Tare/Ï] to increment the flashing digit. When the desired value is shown press [Zero/Enter] to accept the value. If you want to reset the value to zero, press the [Func/C] key to clear the value.
6.6.2 Setting up Checkweighing while Parts Counting • Checkweighing facility can be set up for Parts Counting by entering values as Low and High Limits to be keyed in by the user. The limits are displayed in PCS. • Press [Func] to enter the Parts Counting mode. Press [Zero/Enter] to fix a sample size. Press [Limit] and enter the numeric values for high and low limits following the same procedure as stated in the earlier section.
6.8 MANUAL ACCUMULATION • When the scale is set to manual accumulation the weight displayed will be stored in memory when the [Print] key is pressed and the weight is stable. • The display will show "ACC 1" and then the total in memory for 2 seconds before returning to normal. The weight will be output to a printer or PC. • Remove the weight, allowing the scale to return to zero and put a second weight on. Press [Print], the display will show "ACC 2" and then show the new total.
6.9 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. • The display will show "ACC 1" and then the total in the memory before it returns to zero. Adding a 2nd weight will repeat the process.
To set parameters, press the [Func] and [Print] keys at the same time. 7.1 INCREMENT VALUE • The first parameter on setting the increment value will be displayed as "Inc xx" where xx can be 1, 2, 5 or 10. The first value shown is the default scale increment value. • To change to a different increment value press [Tare/Ï]. • Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed value and move to the next parameter. 7.2 CONTROL THE BACKLIGHT • The standard is to have the backlight operate automatically i.e.
7.4 ACCUMULATION OF DATA IN MEMORY WHEN [PRINT] IS PRESSED • To accumulate weight in the memory when [Print] is pressed, set the scale to "ACC on". • To use the [Print] key to only print the weight without adding it to memory, set to "ACC oFF". • Press [Tare/Ï] to change the setting between on and oFF. • Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed setting and move to the next parameter. 7.
CBWa Scales only: The CBWa scales can change units from kilograms to grams, pounds or pounds/ounces immediately if they are enabled as in the step above. This also allows the scales to be calibrated in either kilograms or pounds and all memory accumulations are in either kilograms or pounds as last selected.
8.0 BATTERY OPERATION • The scales can be operated from the battery, if desired. The battery life is approximately 70 hours. • When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will turn on. The battery should be charged when the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for about 10 hours after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery. • To charge the battery, simply attach the power supply module to the scale and plug in. The scale does not need to be turned on.
9.0 RS-232 INTERFACE The CBW scales comes with a bi-directional RS-232 interface. Specifications: RS-232 output of weighing data ASCII code 4800 Baud 8 data bits No Parity Connector: 9 pin d-subminiature socket Pin 3 Output Pin 2 Input Pin 5 Signal Ground Data Format for normal weighing operations, parts counting or recalling of totals from memory will all be different.

When recalling the Total weight stored in the accumulation memory the output format is*************** A line of stars is shown Includes 1 line feed TOTAL No. 5 Wt 21.
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. • The display will show "UnLoAd" for all models except CBW 6H /12aH.
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. ERROR CODE Err 4 DESCRIPTION Initial Zero is greater than allowed (4% of maximum capacity) when power is turned on or when the [Zero/Enter] key is pressed.
