1 Basic information
Grundlegende Hinweise
The device must be repaired only by trained specialist staff or personnel with
professional formation (such as a repair-specialist accredited by law
concerning verification).
The service manual is obligatory for repair work.
After repair, original conditions of the device have to be restored.
Only original spare parts should be used.
Instructions about conformity-evaluated scales:
Repair must be carried only at 100% compliance with the type approval.
A violation of this specification will result in a loss of the type approval!
After successful repair the balance will have to be reverified before it can be
used again in a statutorily regulated field.
Das Gerät darf nur von geschultem oder beruflich ausgebildetem
Fachpersonal (z. B. eichrechtlich anerkannter Instandsetzer) repariert werden.
Die Serviceanleitung ist bindend für Reparaturen.
Das Gerät muss nach erfolgter Reparatur wieder in den Originalzustand
zurückversetzt werden.
Es dürfen nur Originalersatzteile verwendet werden.
Hinweis zu konformitätsbewerteten Waagen:
Reparatur darf nur in 100% -iger Übereinstimmung mit der
Bauartzulassung erfolgen. Ein Verstoß gegen diese Vorgabe führt zum Erlöschen
der Bauartzulassung!
Nach erfolgreicher Reparatur muss eine Nacheichung erfolgen, um die Waage
wieder im gesetzlich geregelten Bereich verwenden zu können.

2 Introduction
1. There are 3 ways to rectify the linearity for setting the temperature calibration,
which can make the scale more accurate.
n Inside air temperature (normal temperature)
o High temperature
p Low temperature
♦ It is adequate to only do the inside air temperature calibration. Upon the
customer’s request, we also offer the high temperature and low temperature
calibration as well.
2. Sampling speed is also depended on the user’s need (01~05).
3. Linearity calibration, capacity setting and temperature calibration can be set
separately.
4. Weighing unit: g or kg (depending on model)
5. Tare range is full range tare.
3 General Information
1. The newly manufactured scale without passing the calibration and setting process
will automatically enter the linearity calibration mode. After the linearity calibration
procedure is done, the program will automatically enter the Specification Setting
Mode.
2. Zero Range
The internal value should be in between 120,000~250,000 with the platter on
and without any load (check Æ see chapter 10 “Spec. calibration”)
3. Maximum Capacity
The internal value should be over 300,000 when the scale is fully loaded.
4. When rubbing the tetragon, the inaccuracy value should be smaller than 10
divisions.
5. Tare range is full range tare.

4 Error messages
Non-approval models:
E1 ⇒ ZERO over 300,000 internal value.
E2 ⇒ ZERO below 10,000 internal value.
Approval models:
E1 ⇒ ZERO over the zero position in weight calibration + 10% of full scale.
E2 ⇒ ZERO over the zero position in weight calibration - 10% of full scale.
All models:
E4 ⇒ ZERO is unstable.
E5 ⇒ Turning on machine core value is under 0.
E6 ⇒ Core value is over 250,000.
E7 ⇒ Core value is below 120,000.
- - OL - ⇒ The weighing range is exceeded.
NOTES:
• Non-approval models (CXB): After E1, E2 or E4 is displayed press
to continue.
• Approval models (CXB-M): After E1, E2 or E4 appear, set the jumper SWA1
on main board to “ADJ” position and press to return the counting
mode.
Then press
+ + at the same time followed by pressing
to access calibration (see chap. 7.3).
