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.

• There are 6 models in each series with capacities up to 45 kg / 100 lb.

• These all have stainless steel weighing platforms on an ABS base assembly.

• All scales have sealed keypads with colour coded membrane switches and the displays are large easy to read liquid crystal type displays (LCD). The LCD’s are supplied with a backlight.

• The scales include automatic zero tracking, audible alarm for pre-

set weights, automatic tare, an accumulation facility that allows the count to be stored and recalled as an accumulated total and bi-directional RS-232 interface for communicating with a PC or printer.

3.2 INSTALLATION OF CBW SERIES

• The CBW Series comes with a stainless steel platform packed separately.

• Place the platform in the locating holes on the top cover.

• Do not press with excessive force as this could damage the load

cell inside.

• Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. The scale should be adjusted such that the bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of

Page 8

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 2.03 is the current software revision number). A self-test is followed next. At the end of the

self-test it will display “ZERO”, if the zero condition has been achieved. A stable symbol and “GROSS” indicators are also

displayed.

Page 10

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”.

• The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform.

However you may need to press the [Zero/Enter] key to re-zero

the scale if small amounts of weight are still shown when the platform is empty.

Page 11

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. 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 that is added after taring will be displayed.

• When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container, this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products which were

removed. The “ZERO”- indicator will also be on because the platform is back to the same condition it was when [Zero/Enter]

was last pressed.

6.3 WEIGHING A SAMPLE

To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container if used, then place the sample in the container. The display will show the weight and the units of weight currently in use.

6.4 PERCENT WEIGHING

• The scale will allow a sample weight to be shown as 100%. Then any other weight placed on the scale will be displayed as a percentage of the original sample. For example is 350g is placed

on the scale and the [%] key is pressed the display will show

100.00%. Remove the 350g weight and place a 300g weight on the scale. The display will show 85.71% as 300g is 85.71% of 350g.

NOTE: The scale may jump by large numbers unexpectedly if small weights are used to set the 100% level. For example, if only 23.5g is placed on a scale with 0.5g increments and the scale is set to 100%, the display will show

100.00%, however a small change of weight will cause the display to jump to

102.13% as one scale division (0.5g) increase to 24.0g will be equivalent to an increase of 2.13%.

• Pressing [Func] will return the scale to weighing.

Page 12

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. The number should match the options for parts counting, i.e., 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key when the number matches the

number of parts used for the sample. As more weight is added, the display will show the number of parts (pcs).

• Press the [%] key to display unit weight (g/pcs or lb/pcs), Total

weight (kg or lb) or the count (pcs).

• Press [Func] to return to normal weighing.

• ‘lb’ will be shown on the CBWa scales when weighing unit is set

to pounds.

6.6 CHECK-WEIGHING

Check-weighing is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds the values stored in memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low limit. Either or both the limits can be used.

NOTE:

The alarm can be set to OFF (See the section 7.7 on Parameter). In this case the display will indicate whenever the weight is within or exceeds the limits by showing ‘OK’, ‘HI’ or ‘LO’.

Page 13

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.

• After pressing [Zero/Enter] the display will then show the Low Limit, the “LO” symbol will be on to the left side of the display.

Enter the low limit in the same way the high limit was entered.

• 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.

BOTH LIMITS SET

LOW LIMIT SET

HIGH LIMIT SET LOW LIMIT is set to zero.

BOTH LIMITS SET LOW IS SET GREATER THAN HIGH

The display will show OK and the beeper will sound

when the weight is between the limits. HIGH LIMIT is set to zero.

The display will show OK and the beeper will sound

when the weight is less than the Low Limit. Above

the Low Limit the display will show HI and the beeper

will be off.

The display will show LO and the beeper will be off

when the weight is less than the High Limit. Above

the High Limit the display will show OK and the

beeper will be on. The beeper will never sound and the display will show

LO if the weight is less that the Low Limit and HI if the

weight is greater than the Low Limit.

Page 14

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.

NOTE:

• The weight must be greater than 20 scale divisions for the checkweighing to operate.

• To disable the Checkweighing function, enter zero into both limits

by pressing [Limit/Î] to recall the current settings.

• When the current limits are shown, press [Func/C] to clear the settings and then press [Zero/Enter] to store the zero values.

6.7 ACCUMULATED TOTAL

• The scale can be set to accumulate when a weight is added to the

scale automatically or manually by pressing [Print].

• See Section 7.3 on PARAMETERS for details. The accumulation function is only available when weighing. It is disabled during percent weighing or parts counting.

• The accumulated weights will be stored in the master unit of the scale, i.e. kg or lbs.

• If at any time the weighing units are changed, the accumulated data will be lost.

Page 15

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.

• Continue until all weights have been added.

• To view the total in memory press the [Print] key when the scale

is at zero. The display will show the total number of items "ACC xx" and the total weight before returning to zero. The total will also

be printed via the RS-232 interface.

• To erase the memory, press [Print] to view the totals and then press the [Func/C] key to clear the memory.

Page 16

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 2 process.

• While the weight is on the scale, press the [Print] key to show the values immediately- first the accumulation number "ACC x" and

then the total will be shown. In this case the scale will not show the value when the weight is removed.

• In all cases the scale must return to zero or a negative number before another sample can be added to the memory.

• More products can be added and [Print] be pressed again. This

can continue for up to 99 entries till the capacity of display is exceeded.

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., turning it off when the scale is not being used.

• The backlight can be set to be "EL on" (always on), "EL AU" (Automatic) or "EL oFF" (always off). The maximum battery life is

achieved with the backlight turned off.

• Press the [Tare/Ï] key to change the setting.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] to store the changed setting and move to

the next parameter.

7.3 AUTOMATIC ACCUMULATION

• With "Au on" the memory will accumulate the weight automatically.

• "Au oFF" will enable the manual accumulation.

• "P Cont" will set the RS-232 interface to send the weight

continuously and the accumulation function is disabled.

• Press the [Tare/Ï] key to change the setting.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed setting and

move to the next parameter.

Page 18

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.

7.5 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. It will show “A2 1d”.

• Press the [Tare/Ï] key to change the value.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed setting and

move to the next parameter.

7.6 SELECTABLE UNIT OF WEIGHT DISPLAYED

• The scales are normally set to display in kilograms, however they will show the weight in grams, if enabled.

• The display will show “Ut on” or “Ut oFF”.

• Press [Tare/Ï] to change the setting between on or oFF.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed setting and

move to the next parameter.

Page 19

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.

When the scales are set to display in other units the accumulation function is

still keeping the weight in kilograms (or pounds for the CBWa series) in

memory and will use the base weighing unit when printing over the RS-232 interface.

7.7 SETTING OF THE CHECK WEIGHING ALARM

• The display will show “bEEP x” where “x” is a digit from 0 to 2.

will set the buzzer to off when check weighing

will set the buzzer to on when the OK symbol is on

will set the buzzer to on when the weight is outside

the OK symbol limit

• To change this digit press the [Tare/Ï] key.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed value and

continue to the next parameter.

7.8 SPEED AT WHICH THE MACHINE WILL RUN THE ADC

• The slowest setting is 7.5 and the fastest is 60. The default setting is usually 15. The display will show “SPd 15”.

• To change this setting press the [Tare/Ï] key.

• Press the [Zero/Enter] key to store the changed value and return

to the normal weighing.

Page 20

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.

• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.

• To the left of the display is a LED to indicate the status of battery

charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery is being charged. If it is red it is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is increasing the charge level. Continue to charge overnight for a complete re-charge.

• As the battery is used over the years it may fail to hold a full charge. If the battery life becomes unacceptable then contact your distributor or Adam Equipment.
