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. Remove all weight from the pan and then press the

[Zero/Enter] key when the scale is stable. Note:

For CBW 6H/

12aH, it will show "LoAd 0" and when the scale is stable, it will ask

for the calibration mass to be placed on the platform. For all other

models, the display will show “AdLoAd”. Place the suggested

calibration mass on the pan. It is best to use a weight close to the

full capacity of the scale.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key. The display will then show the last

mass used. If this is same as the mass on the pan then it can be

used or a different value can be entered.

• To use this value, press the [Zero/Enter] key when the stable

indicator is on.

• If a different value is desired, enter the value using the [►] arrow

key to select the flashing digit and the [▲] to increment the

flashing digit. If value is correct, press the [Zero/Enter] key to

accept when the stable indicator is on.

• Remove the calibration weight as the scale counts back from 9 to

• If an error message “FAIL H” or “FAIL L” is shown during calibration,

re-check the calibration and repeat, if necessary. If the error

cannot be corrected contact your dealer or Adam Equipment for

advice.

CBWa Scales only:

CBWa scales will also have the Lb or Kg (or g) indicator on to show the unit of

the weight requested. If the scale was in pounds before starting the

calibration, the weights requested will be in pound values. If the scale was

weighing in kilograms then metric weights will be requested.
