Numeric entry keys, used to manually enter a value for tare weights, unit
weight, and sample size.
Used to clear the unit weight or an erroneous entry.
Add the current count to the accumulator. Up to 99 values or full capacity
of the weight display can be added. Also prints the displayed values when
Auto print is switched off.
To recall the accumulated memory.
Used for setting the time and for other setup operations
Used to input the number of items in a sample.
Used to enter the weight of a sample manually.
Tares the scale. Stores the current weight in memory as a tare value,
subtracts the tare value from the weight and shows the results. This is the
net weight. Entering a value using the keypad will store that as the tare
value.
This display will show the unit weight of a sample. This value is either input by the user
or computed by the scale. The unit of measurement may be set to grams or pounds
depending on region.
•
The arrow indicator will be seen below the symbol as above, when there is
insufficient number of samples to accurately determine the count.
•
When the unit weight is not large enough to determine an accurate count, the arrow
indicator will be seen below "U. Weight" or symbol as above.
•
In both cases the scale continues to operate and the indications are to alert the user
for a potential problem.
•
If a pre-set count has been stored the "Preset" or symbol as above, will have an
arrow above.
5.2 COUNT DISPLAY
•
This display will show the number of items on the scale or the value of the accumulated
count. See the next section on OPERATION.
•
The arrow indicator will be seen above "Memory" when a value has been entered into
the memory.
The scale will turn on displaying the last weighing unit selected, either kilograms or pounds. To
change the weighing unit press the [Units] key.
To change the weighing unit press the [SETUP] key and use the [1] or [6] keys to scroll through
the menu until ‘units’ appears on the display. Press [Tare] to select.
In the ‘count pcs’ display the current weighing [word deleted] will be displayed (kg,g or lb) with
either ‘on’ or ‘off’. Pressing [Tare] cycles through the weighing units available. Use the [1] and
[6] keys to change between On/Off and use the [Tare] button to select.
If necessary press the [CE] key to clear the unit weight before changing.
6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY
• You can press the [0] key at any time to set the zero point from which all other
weighing and counting is measured. This will usually be necessary only when the
platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the “Weight” 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 [0] to
re-zero the scale if small amounts of weight are still shown when the platform is empty.
• Zero the scale by pressing the [0] key if necessary. The indicator “0” will be
ON.
• Place a container on the platform and its weight will be displayed.
• Press [Tare] to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare
value which is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The indicator
“Net” will be ON.
• As a 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 and
any products removed. The indicator above “0” will also be ON because the
platform is back to the same condition as it was when the [0] key was pressed
last.
• If all product is removed leaving only the container on the platform, the indicator
“0” will also be on as the platform is back to the same condition as it was when
the [0] key was pressed last.
In order to do parts counting it is necessary to know the average weight of the items to be
counted. This can be done by weighing a known number of the items and letting the scale
determine the average unit weight or by manually inputting a known unit weight using the
keypad.
A. Weighing a sample to determine the Unit Weight
To determine the average weight of the items to be counted, you will need to place a known
quantity of the items on the scale and key in the number of items being weighed. The scale
will then divide the total weight by the number of items and display the average unit weight.
Press [CE] anytime to clear the unit weight.
• Zero the scale by pressing the [0] key if necessary. If a container is to be used,
place the container on the scale and tare by pressing [Tare] as discussed earlier.
• Place a known quantity of items on the scale. After the weight display is stable, enter
the quantity of items using the numeric keys and then press the [Smpl] key.
• The number of units will be displayed on the "Count" display and the computed
average weight will be shown on the "Unit Weight" display.
• As more items are added to the scale, the weight and the quantity will increase.
• If a quantity which is smaller than the sample is placed on the scale, then the scale will
automatically enhance the Unit Weight by re-calculating it. To lock the Unit Weight and
avoid resampling, press [U. Wt./Units].
• If the scale is not stable, the calculation will not be completed. If the weight is below
zero, the “Count” display will show negative count.
B. Entering a known Unit Weight
• If the unit weight is already known then it is possible to enter that value using the
keypad.
• Enter the value of the unit weight in grams, using the numeric keys followed by
pressing the [U. Wt./Units] key. The "Unit Weight" display will show the value as it
was entered.
• The sample is then added to the scale and the weight will be displayed as well as
• After the unit weight has been determined or entered, it is possible to use the scale for
parts counting. The scale can be tared to account for the container weight mentioned
in section 6.2.
• After the scale is tared the items to be counted are added and the "Count" display will
show the number of items, computed using the total weight and the unit weight.
• It is possible to increase the accuracy of the unit weight at any time during the counting
process by entering the count displayed and then pressing the [Smpl] key. You must
be certain that the quantity displayed matches the quantity on the scale before pressing
the key. The unit weight can be adjusted based upon a larger sample quantity. This
will give greater accuracy when counting larger sample sizes.
6.3.3 Automatic part weight updates
• At the time of computing the unit weight (see section 6.3.1A), the scale will
automatically update the unit weight when a sample less than the sample already on
the platform is added. A beep will be heard when the value is updated. It is wise to
check the quantity is correct when the unit weight has been updated automatically.
• This feature is turned off as soon as the number of items added exceeds the count
used as a sample.
6.3.4 Checkweighing
• Checkweighing is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound when the number of items
counted on the scale meets or exceeds a number stored in the memory by using the
[check] key.
• Pressing the [Check] key will bring up “Lo” in the weight display, enter a numeric
value using the numbers on the keypad and pressing the [Tare] enter button to
confirm.
• Once the “Lo” value is set, you will be prompted to set the “Hi” value, confirm this by
following the same procedure as for the “Lo” value.
• Placing an object on the scale will now bring up an arrow indicator pointing to “Lo, Mid
or Hi” value on the display.
• To clear the value from the memory and thereby turn off the checkweighing feature,
enter the value "0" and press [Tare].
6.3.5 Manually Accumulated Totals
• The values (weight and count) shown on the display can be added to the values in the
memory by pressing the [M+] key. The "Weight" display will show the total weight, the
"Count" display will show the total accumulated count and the "Unit Weight" display
shows the number of times, the items have been added to the memory for
accumulation. The values will be displayed for 2 seconds before returning to normal.
• The scale must return to zero or a negative number, before another sample can be
added to the memory.
• More products can then be added and the [M+] key to be pressed again. This can
continue for up to 99 entries or until the capacity of the “Weight” display is exceeded.
• To observe the total stored value, press the [MR] key. The total will be displayed for 2
seconds.
• To clear the memory- first press [MR] to recall the totals from memory and then press
• The scale can be set to automatically accumulate totals when a weight is placed on
the scale. This eliminates the need to press the [M+] key to store values into the
memory. However the [M+] key is still active and can be pressed to store the values
immediately. In this case the values will not be stored when the scale returns to zero.
• See the Section 9.0 on RS-232 Interface for details on how to enable Automatic
Accumulation.
7.0 CALIBRATION
The CCT scales are calibrated using metric or pound weights depending on the region and unit
in use before calibration.
You need to enter a secure menu by entering a passcode when requested.
Press [Tare] once, during the initial counting of the display after the power is turned on.
The “Count” display will show “P” requesting for the passcode number.
The fixed passcode is “1000”

The display will then show the calibration weight suggested in the “Count” display. If the
calibration weight is different from the value shown, Press [CE] to clear the current value
then enter the correct value as an integer value, it is not possible to have fractions of a
kilogram or pound. For Example:
20kg =
Press [Tare] to accept the calibration value and the “Weight” display will now show
“Load”.
Place the calibration weight on the platform and allow the scale to stabilize as indicated by
the stable indicator.
Press [Tare] to Calibrate.
When calibration is done the scale will restart and return to normal weighing.
After calibration, the scale should be checked whether the calibration is correct. If
• After calibration, the scale should be checked whether the calibration and linearity is
correct. If necessary, repeat calibration.
NOTE: In certain regions, CCT scales will have the lb or kg 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 or if the scale was weighing in kilograms then metric
weights will be requested.
