energy. This equipment has been tested and has been found to comply with the limits
of a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These
rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when this
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. If this unit is operated in a
residential area it might cause some interference and under these circumstances the
user would be required to take, at his own expense, whatever measures are
necessary to eliminate the interference.

(FCC = Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.A.)

HV/HW-C/CP Series Page 3

2. Outline and Features

The HV-C/HW-C series are platform scales with 1/3000 resolution, and have the triple

weighing range function to select the weighing range. The scale automatically
switches to small scale interval when a light sample is weighed or large scale interval

when a heavy sample is weighed, depending on the sample weight (multi-interval).

The HV-C/HW-C series come with two types of resolution;

1/10000: Standard models
Type CP scales are equipped with a built-in printer.
Type C scales use batteries or an AC adapter as a power source.

The scales use a back lit liquid crystal display to enable viewing in dim light.
Using the optional RS-232C serial interface or USB interface, data can be output to

a printer. Also, the weighing value can be output, the scale can be controlled or the

setting value can be set by a command from a personal computer.
The counting mode converts the total mass value (total weight) of articles to be

counted, to a count, when each article has the same mass value.
The comparator function compares the displayed weight value with the upper limit

value (HI) and the lower limit value (LO) and displays the result. The result can be

output by a buzzer if option HVW-04CJA is installed.
The scale has an accumulation function with a maximum of 6 digits, which has a

maximum accumulations of 999 times. (The number of times weighed and the total

mass of that can be stored in the scale.),
The optional RS-232C serial interface, USB interface or comparator relay output can

be installed to the scale with up to three units.
The following parameters are stored in the scale even if the power is removed.

Display mode (unit)
Unit mass of counting mode
Total count and total mass of accumulation function
Upper limit value and lower limit value of upper / lower comparator function,
Calibration data
Parameters of the function table

Multi-interval: This is what the minimum display is automatically switched to

depending on the sample weight

Example) With the HV-60KC, weighing capacity is 60kg and minimum display is

0.005kg, 0.01kg or 0.02kg.

Multi-interval: When exceeding the range for small, medium or large, the minimum

display is automatically switched

Point: When a light sample is

weighed, the minimum
display is small.
When a heavy sample is
weighed, the minimum
display is large.

3. Precautions

3.1. Installing the Scale

Consider the following conditions to get the most from your scale.

Install the scale where the temperature and relative humidity is stable, there is no draft

and a stable power source is available.
Install the scale on a solid and level surface.
Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.
Do not install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.
Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
Do not install the scale near equipment which produces magnetic fields.
Do not install the scale where there is apt to be static electricity, in a place where the

relative humidity is lower than 45% RH. Plastic and isolators are apt to be charged with

static electricity.
The display unit is not water resistant. Use the display unit cover to avoid damage.
Do not use an unstable power source.
Remove the protective film from the weighing pan before use.

3.2. Operating the Scale

Periodically ensure that the weight value is correct.
Calibrate the scale before using and after moving it to another location.
Do not place anything on the pan which exceeds the weighing capacity.
Do not drop anything upon the pan.
Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil to press the keys. Press the keys

gently using your finger.
Pressing the ZERO key before each weighing is recommended to prevent possible

error.
Replace the used batteries with four new ones when the

Battery is of type D, Mono, R20P, R20PU or LR20.

mark is displayed.

3.3. Storing the Scale

Do not disassemble the scale.
Do not use solvents to clean the scale. Wipe it with a dry lint free cloth or a lint free

cloth which is moistened with warm water and a mild detergent.
The base unit can be cleaned with gentle running tap water. Do not scratch the base

unit with a brash. Allow the unit to dry before using.

Protect the display unit from dust and water.
Remove the batteries from the display unit when the scale is not to be used for a long

time. If you leave the batteries installed, they may leak and damage the scale.

9. Accumulation Function

This function counts the number of times articles are weighed, calculates the total mass

value and can display the number (accumulation count) and accumulated mass value.

The accumulation function is displayed with up to 6 digits. The balance can not display 7 or

more digits, therefore the leading digits are not displayed.

Example: With 60K type, when importing the data of 17 accumulations of up to 60kg (60.000

To use this function, set the parameters of the "Accumulation function ( 5um )" in the

function table in advance.

To use the built-in printer, set the parameters of the " Built-in printer output mode

( prtp 9 )" in the function table in advance.

The accumulation count and accumulated mass value are stored in the scale even if

the power is removed.

Operation and Keys

The display of the accumulation count has a blinking M+ without a unit.

The display of the accumulated mass value has a unit and a blinking M+.

Press the SET and M+ key to display the accumulation count and accumulated mass

value.

Press the ZERO key in the accumulation function (with a blinking M+) to reset the

current function (The count and accumulated mass value become zero.)

When the PRINT key is pressed, the accumulation results (date, data number and

weighing value) are printed by the built-in printer (HV/HW-CP models). Date is set at

function table 5tdp .

Caution

The accumulation function is available only when weighing is performed in the

same unit.

10. Comparator

Five-level, three-level and seven-level (portion weighing mode) comparators are
available.
Each comparator mode compares the weight value against the preset limit values and
outputs the results using LEDs (yellow / green / red).
When the optional comparator relay output (HVW-04CJA) is installed, the results are
output as a relay signal.

 Five-level comparator mode:

Uses four comparator values to
compare the weight value and outputs
results in five levels of LOLO, LO, OK,
HI and HIHI.

 Three-level comparator mode:

Uses two comparator values (upper
and lower limit values) to compare the
weight value and outputs results in
three levels of LO, OK and HI.

 Seven-level comparator mode (portion weighing mode):

Uses six comparator values to compare
the weight value and outputs results in
seven levels of over in the negative
value, level 1 (LOLO), level 2 (LO),
Level 3 (OK), level 4 (HI), level 5 (HIHI)
and over in the positive value.

 To use the comparator modes, the function settings “Cp-l” and “Cp” must be

specified and the comparator values must be set.

 Using the function setting “

0: five-level comparator mode
1: three-level comparator mode

11. Auto-tare

The HV/HW-C/CP series has an auto-tare function to be used with the comparator mode
enabled. Using this function in check weighing, the scale automatically tares, then displays “OK”
for a certain amount of sample and repeats this process for the next weighing.
Start with display zero after tare operation. Place or take away objects until the
comparison result will show OK. When the stable display is maintained for the duration

specified in the function setting “at-t”, the scale will automatically tare the weight, show
zero and be ready for next weighing.

 In some countries or areas, the auto-tare function can not be used on the Legal for Trade

models and the selection in the function settings “at”, “at-t” and “at-f” is not available.

 To use the auto-tare function, set the function settings below.

Cp 1:

Compare all weighing data (other settings may be used depending on the
application).

at 1: Auto-tare function enabled.
at-t 0 ~ 9:

 Take-away check weighing “Cp-p 1” (Example with “Cp-l 0” setting)

Take-away check weighing (negative comparison) is the way to compare the
negative weight while taking away objects from a container.

Set the function “Cp-p 1” together with the auto-tare function enabled “at 1”. In this
operation mode, the scale operates as “take-away the objects”  “OK and stable” 
“auto-tare”  “take-away the objects”  ······.
In this setting, the polarity of LOLO, LO, HI, and HIHI limit values are ignored and the
scale shows the comparator results as below.

Note: To start the take-away check weighing, be sure to use the TARE key to tare the

weight of the container filled with objects. The ZERO key may zero the display,
and the scale goes below the zero point by taking out the objects. Then, the
auto-tare function or TARE key does not work.

 When the function “at-f 1 Tares the initial (container) weight.” is selected:

To start the auto-tare function, usually the container (filled with objects) will be placed on the
weighing pan and its weight must be tared using the TARE key. When the function “at-f

Select the timing to tare automatically to avoid the wrong tare operation, for
example; too early to tare, to take a longer time to go to the next weighing.

1” is selected, the scale will tare the initial (container) weight automatically.

When all load on the weighing pan is removed, the scale will return to the zero point and
the tare weight will be automatically cleared. If the scale does not return to the zero point,
press the

 If the scale is equipped with the optional USB interface (HVW-02CBJA) or optional

RS-232C serial interface (HVW-03CJA), the OK weighing data can be output
automatically. Set the function setting “prt1” or “prt2”to 7 or 8.

13. Calibration (Adjusting the Scale)

The scale is an instrument which weighs the "weight" and displays its "mass".

Calibration is the adjustment function so that the scale can weigh correctly.

Three steps of calibration are available

Gravity Acceleration Correction ... The function to correct the scale’s local gravity

acceleration, so that the scale functions
correctly when the calibrated scale has been
moved to a distant place.

Refer to the "Gravity Acceleration Table" on

the next page.

Calibration of the Zero Point ......... The function to adjust the zero point, so that

the zero point mark is displayed when there is
nothing on the pan.

Comment The zero point is the fundamental starting point

to weigh anything and influences the
performance of scale.

Span Calibration.............................. The function to adjust the span with a

calibrated mass, so that the scale can
accurately weigh anything within the weighing
capacity.

Comment Span means the range of weighing capacity.

Use a calibration mass heavier than two thirds
of the weighing capacity.

Caution

Check the accuracy of weighing periodically. Calibrate the scale, if it has

been moved to another location or the environment has changed.

Gravity acceleration correction is not required, when the scale is calibrated

with the calibration mass at the place where the scale is used.

15.6. Using UFC (Universal Flex Coms) Function

 The UFC function allows you to print out as you format the printer (UFC format).

 The scale can store the UFC format as text data. It will include parameters to replace

Store Text Data into the Scale Memory

with the count data, weight data and so on.

 The maximum number of text data is 300 characters.

 Using “PF” command, the text data has to be sent to the scale in advance.

When the PRINT key is pressed or by auto-print mode, the scale will send the stored
text data with the parameters replaced by the original data.

 The UFC format data can be sent through one RS-232C or USB interface only.

Set one of 5if1 or 5if2 at "2" to send the data. The others must be set at "0" or "1".

When printing using the built-in printer, set 5ifp to "1".

The “PF” command sends text data that will include:

 Parameters for the scale data and control codes

Parameter Data & Code Parameter Data & Code

$PC Count $DT Date

$WT Weight $TM Time

$TR Tare weight in use $CM Comma

$TL Total count $SP Space

$AN Accumulation numbers $CR Carriage Return

$ID ID number in use $LF Line Feed

$CP Comparator result

These parameters must be used capital letters.

 ASCII text string

Text string is described in single quote marks as ‘Data’.
The single quote itself is written as ’’(2 single quotes).

Example: Text ‘ABC’ is described as ‘’’ABC’’’.

 The ASCII hexadecimal code

The ASCII hexadecimal codes are written in the form “#" + 2 hexadecimal digits.
This will mainly be used to send control codes that can’t be described as a text string.

Example: #04 “EOT” of ASCII code

 Repeat data

2 , &

Page 58 HV/HW-C/CP Series

”

The control codes $SP, $CR and $LF can be used with “ + maximum 2 digit
number”. That code will be repeated the number of times designated.

Example: $LF 9 Repeat “$LF” 9 times.
$SP 12 Put 12 “Spaces”.

 Link mark “&”

If you will send more than 2 lines of data, attach “&” to the end of the first line. Then,
the scale considers the data to be continued.

“Space” or “,” will be used to separate these data. You can skip them, but you cannot
skip “,” after “PF”. You must start with “PF,”.

“

in examples below shows “Space” (20H).

Data Format for the Scale Data

Parameters for the scale data will be replaced by the format below when the scale sends
them out.

Data has a fixed number of digits including a sign and a decimal point. The
insignificant zeros are replaced by “Space (20H)” (except the ID number).
