♦Welcome
♦FCC Note
♦Verify Correctness of Weight & Price
♦Legal for Trade Notice
♦How to Use This Manual
Welcome to Hobart’s World Scale Series, a truly portable counter scale with a wide range of capabilities:
♦Stylish, compact and tough
♦Remarkably affordable
♦Simple touch key operation
♦Wipe clean keypad with audible “beep”
♦Fully automatic zero correction
♦Stainless steel weighing platter
♦Very fast response to weight changes
♦Resolutions up to 30 lb
♦30 PLU options (WC30 only)
♦Powered by six D-cell batteries
♦Batteries provide up to 800 hours of continuous power
♦LCD display
This manual covers two World Scale models:
WP30 Portion Control Scale
WC30 Price Computing Scale
Where the scales differ in procedures, keystrokes, etc., the information for each scale will be separately identified.
If the information is identical for both scales, it will only be stated one time.

Introduction |
World Scale
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference; in which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Verify Correctness of
Weight & Price
Check the multiplication of price-per-pound times weight, and check the displayed weight. Weigh the same package several times to verify consistency. Keep in mind that some packages which weigh near the middle of the 0.01-lb increment will normally vary up or down by 0.01-lb. Greater variation than 0.01-lb indicates a need for adjustment of the system. In such cases, or whenever necessary, contact your authorized Hobart Service Representative.
The WP30 and WC30 have been tested by the National Conference of Weights and Measures (NCWM) National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) and found to comply with the applicable requirements as published in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44. NTEP certificate 02-071 details the evaluation. In addition, each scale used for commercial weighing may require local certification, licensing or approval. Please contact your local Weights and Measures authority to determine if your new scale requires additional certification or licensing. For more information, contact the NCWM at www.ncwm.net or the NIST Office of Weights and Measures at 301-975-4004.

Keystrokes and Data Entry
Procedures
If you are viewing this manual online, you have the advantage of using the cross-referencing feature that has been built into the document. All Table of Contents page numbers and certain italicized text have been made into cross-references.
For example, the text may say:
Refer to the topic, Online Viewing for further information.
If you move your mouse directly over the page number or text and your mouse cursor changes to a pointing hand, then this is a crossreference. If you click on this text, you will be taken to that point in the document.
You can then use the back arrow on the top of your screen to take you back to your starting point.
This manual will use the following methods to explain keystrokes and data entry procedures:
♦The word PRESS means to press a key on the Control Panel.
•A Short PRESS means to press a key and release quickly. You will hear one beep.
•A Long PRESS means to press a key and hold it long enough to hear a second beep.
♦The word TYPE means to Short PRESS one or more keys on the Control Panel (WC30 only).
♦Words in uppercase enclosed in brackets (for example [SAVE]) represent specific keys.

♦The Console
The World Scale is a durable, compact weighing device. Two digital displays show the Weight, Unit Price and Total Price to the Operator and Customer at the same time. The scale can calculate the value of either By Weight or By Count items and can accumulate the Total Price for multiple items.
The following features are explained below:
♦Power Source
♦PLU Options
♦Capacity
Powered by six D-cell batteries, the World Scale gives you the power to use your scale in most trading situations.
The World Scale (WC30 only) offers 30 PLUs as standard – including seven SpeedKeys which may be used with a “quick-set” feature for top-selling items. These seven Speedkeys may be userdefined. All 30 PLUs may be password-protected if set up in
Supervisor mode.
The World Scale comes configured from the factory as a
30-lb x 0.005 resolution scale. For other capacities and resolutions that can be configured, contact your local Hobart Representative.

World Scale
Mechanical
Procedures
Short PRESS/Long PRESS (Beeps)
You will need to familiarize yourself with the following Mechanical Procedures in your World Scale:
♦Short PRESS/Long PRESS (Beeps)
♦Sleep/Wake Modes
The World Scale requires two types of touch when pressing certain keys on the Console:
Short PRESS = PRESS and release. You will hear one beep.
Long PRESS = PRESS and hold until you hear a second beep.
Sleep/Wake Modes |
Use Sleep mode when the scale will be |
|
inactive for an extended period of time. This |
|
|
|
conserves the life of the batteries. |
QUICK STEPS -
Sleep/Wake Modes
Sleep mode:
1.Long PRESS Display Test key
2.SLEEP displays on screen
Wake mode:
1.Short PRESS Display Test key
2.Status Display Screen appears
3.Operator Display Screen appears
Note
If you have a Tare in the scale’s memory and the scale goes into Sleep mode, the Tare will be lost. You have the ability to change the duration of the sleep timeout in Chapter Four: Supervisor Mode.
To select Sleep mode:
1. Long PRESS the Display Test key.
2. The word SLEEP will display on the screen.

Leveling the Scale
QUICK STEPS -
Leveling the Scale
1.Locate Level Indicator
2.Adjust Scale Feet till bubble is centered
Electrical Connections
On the left side of the Console is a Level Indicator. When the bubble inside is directly in the center of the circle, the scale is level. There are four Scale Feet located underneath the scale system. You may need to adjust these feet slightly in the event the scale is not sitting properly. Proper adjustment of these feet helps you maintain the scale’s balance and is required when using the scale as Legal for Trade.
To level the scale:
1.Locate the Level Indicator on the left side of the Console.
2. Adjust the Scale Feet by turning clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary until the bubble is in the middle of the Level Indicator.
The World Scale comes standard with a Battery Pack, which uses six D-cell batteries.
Tip
•When the Battery Symbol flashes on the display, you must replace the batteries.
•When not using the World Scale for a length of time, it is best to place the World Scale in Sleep mode to extend the life of the batteries. See
Sleep/Wake Modes in this chapter.
