IntroductionCongratulations on your purchase of a Hardy Instru-
ments Any-Weigh™ Bench Scales. Behind your purchase is over eighty years of quality, reliability and
technical innovation.
The Hardy Any-Weigh™ Bench Scales are designed
for table top or floor applications requiring high accu
racy and reliability. The covers are all stainless steel
for durability. The bases have no bearings, spirit lev
els, or moving parts that can be da maged or wear out .
The active element of the scale are precision strain
gauge load sensors.
NOTE:Any-Weigh™ is a trademark of Hardy Instruments
Incorporated.
DescriptionThe basic Any-Weigh Bench Scale consists of three
major components:
1.Stainless Steel Top Cover.
2.Lower Frame Assembly with Four Load Cells
3.Four Leveling feet.

The top cover is a single piece constructed of series
300 Stainless Steel. The cover provides a weighing
surface and offers protection to the load cells and
electronics.
The lower frame comes equipped with four leveling
feet, four load cells, a shock load and co rner overload
protection. The lower frame is made of coated mild
steel.
Directly attach the scale’s 15 foot cable to any weighing instrument or controller. If interfacing with a
Hardy Controller, you can take full advantage of

a low-cost, solution for bringing analog weight read
ings directly into a control system. The Analog Scale
requires minimal additional wiring or hardware and
comes with a 15 foot shielded 2 wire cable.

UnpackingThe Any-Weigh Bench scales are shipped fully
assembled and only require adjustment of the leveling
feet. If there is any damage to the shipping container
or to the scale, save all the packaging material and file
a report with the shipper.
Leveling the Scale Step 1.Place the spirit level across each corner
and adjust if necessary to level the corners.

Analog ScaleThe fifteen-foot, 2 wire shielded cable p rovides power
to the Analog Scale and transmits the 4-20 mA weight
signal. The scale must have from 15 VDC to 50 VDC
across its two loop wires at up to 20 mA (Full Scale
Output). Since all devices in the output/power loop
are in series, the minimum power supply voltage, 20
mA, must equal the total voltage drop across all of the
other devices in the loop plus 15 VDC for the ANYWEIGH Analog Scale.

the DeviceNet Scale for calibration and operation.
Alternatives to these procedures either explicit or
implied, contained in this section are not recom

personnel be familiar with the procedures contained
in this chapter, before going through the setup proce
dures.
NOTE:The DeviceNet Scale is the only scale in the ANY-

The DeviceNet Scale produces 4 bytes of polled output data and consumes 4 bytes of polled input data.
The 4 bytes of input data can be used to set parame
ters in the module and to specify what data should be
placed in the 4 bytes of output data.

WRITE command
Chapter 5 - Setup
Most of the DeviceNet Scales’ parameters are only 1
byte long, making it possible to write them with a sin
gle command. There are also some 4 byte parameters.
T o wri te one of them:
Step 1.First write the 2 most significant bytes,
using a WRITE command as described
above, with 0x27 in the parameter number
field.
Step 2.Write the least significant bytes using nor-
mal parameter numbers. The module will
combine the value written to parameter
0x27 with the least significant bytes to
produce the value written to the 4 byte
parameter.
The 4 bytes written to the output table are as follows:
•If the Command byte of the input data is 0
(READ), the data is the value of the specified
parameter, least significant byte first.
•If the specified parameter is an invalid number ( 0
for example: there is no parameter number 0), the
data is net weight, with units as determined by
the METRIC POLL parameter.
•If the Command byte of the input data is non-zer o
(WRITE), the output data echoes the input data.

Examples
Using the
Command
Interface
Reading Gross Weight in the polled output data.
1.First word (2 least significant bytes) of the input
data is not used. Ignore.
2. Lower byte of second word is the parameter number. Gross weight in lbs is parameter #16.
3.Upper byte of second word set is “0” indicating
read.
This causes the unit to output the Gross weight in lbs
to the output polled data area. Resolution and data
type would depend on the Weight Multiplier setting.
Writing new value to number of averages.
5-5
Any-Weigh™ Series Bench Scales
1.First byte of first word on the input data is the
new valued wanted.
2.Upper byte of first word should be 0 and is not
used.
3. Lower byte of second word is the parameter number. Averages is parameter #5.
4.Upper byte of second word is set to “1” to indicate write.
This causes the unit to write the value in the first byte
of the first word to the Averages parameter. During
the execution of the command, the output polled data
reflects the input polled data.

should be available to check the mid-range. Several
low capacity weights equivalent to one or two instru

ping resistor for a m easuring dev i ce, in the outp ut /
power loop requires that the power supply voltage be
high enough to supply the extra voltage.
-
Step 1.Remove all weights from the scale. Allow
dead load to remain. If dead load is coun
terbalanced, also allow counterbalancing
to remain.
Step 2.Install a millimeter, in series, into the out-
put/power loop of the scale. If a voltmeter
is to be used for measurements, and a
resistor for calibration is not already
installed in the system, install a 100 ohm,
± 0.1%, 1/4 W resistor, in series, into the
output/power loop of the scale. Voltmeter
readings are shown in parentheses.
Step 3.If a voltmeter is used, attach the voltmeter
across the 100 ohm resistor.
Step 4.Adjust the transmitter Fine control for a 4
mA (0.4 V) reading on the meter. If neces
sary , center th e Fine co ntro l and adju st the
transmitter Coarse control first.
Step 5.Place a know weight on the scale. If possi-
ble, use a full scale weight for best results.

Step 6.Adjust the SPAN for 20 mA (2 V) for full-
scale weight. For less than full-scale
weight, perform the following steps:
1.Divide: calibration weight/fullscale weight = (F)raction of full
scale.
2.Multiply: (F)(16 mA) = 1, the current caused by the calibration
weight.
3.Add: 1 + 4 mA = Calibration Current, 1c.
4.Adjust SPAN to produce the Calibration Current, 1c, in the output/
power loop.
(750/1000)(16 mA) + 4 mA = 1c
(0.75)(16 mA) + 4 mA = 1c
12 mA + 4 mA = 1c
16 mA = 1c
Step 7.Remove the calibration weight and
recheck to see if the zero reading is still 4
mA (0.4 V). Adjust the Fine control if nec
essary.
Step 8.Place the calibration weight on the scale
again and recheck to see if the calibration
reading is correct.
•Adjust the SP AN if necessary.
Step 9.Repeat Steps 7 & 8 until no further adjust-
ment is necessary to keep both measurements within the system tolerances.
Step 10. Calibration is complete. The resistor
inserted for voltage checks may now be

CHAPTER 7 - OPERATION
SCOPEAll information contained in Chapter 7 pertains to the
operation of the ANY-WEIGH Bench Scales. We rec
ommend that the processes and procedures contained
in this chapter be followed to insure that the module
give the user maximum quality performance. It is very
important that the user be familiar with this chapter
before operating the weigh module.
Operating CapabilitiesThe ANY-WEIGH series of low profile bench scales
are used in a broad range of industrial or laboratory
applications. Some of these applications include:
•Filling
•Grading
•Check Weighing
•Proportioning
•Batching

Analog ScaleThe ANY-WEIGH Analog Scale powers itself and the
attached strain gauge transducers from the 4-20 mA
loop power. This allows sensitive strain gauge signals
to be transmitted over long distances without the
expense of installing additional power to remote loca
tions. A common, low-cost power supply can be
placed anywhere in the 4-20 mA loop.
As the power supply provi des l oop power, the Analog
Scale controls the current flow (4-20 mA)_ represent
ing the strain gauge signal and receiving devices can
be placed anywhere along the loop to monitor current
flow. Typical receiving devices include.
•Chart Records
•Panel Meters
•Bar Graphs
•Programmable Controllers
•Computers
•Relay Set Point Modules
