1. UNPACKING OF THE MAIN BALANCE

Cut open tape protecting the box. Take out the balance of factory package and
place it on a stable base. Take out all components and assemble them
according to below drawings:

Fig 1. The components installation for the balance with pan size 165 x 165mm

For balances 300 x 300mm or 410 x 410mm put on the pan and set the scale
working according to the chapter 2 of this manual.

Fig 1-1. The balance with pan size 300 x 300mm

5

Fig 1-2. The balance with pan size 410 x 410mm

Balances are supplied from 230 V AC / 11 V AC adapters. Connect to the
power source and turn on the balance.

2. INTENDED USE

Counting – labelling balances are designed for COUNTING PIECES OF THE
SAME MASS. Connection with label printer enables labels printing.

Balances are equipped with data bases of operators, assortments, labels and
contractors. Connected with bar code scanner searching out assortment by bar
code is possible.

6

Software of counting set makes possible:

- determining mass of single detail on main balance with highest
accuracy of weighing

- owing to application of graphic display, balance software is user-
friendly

- possibility of application PC type PS/2 keyboard simplifies moving in
software menu and data accessing

- printing basic labels, cumulative labels, „cc labels” (cumulative labels of
cumulative ones)

- cooperation with barcode scanner

- cooperation with additional balance platform

3. GETTING STARTED

3.1 Conditions of appropriate use

9 place balance on a stable and flat table or free from vibrations
9 balance should not be exposed to draughts and sudd en air movements
9 balance should be placed in room of stable temperature and humidity
9 balance should be placed far from heat sources
9 temperature of the room should be +15°C ÷ +30°C (for WLT balances)
9 if static electricity influence balances, indications, its base should be

earthed. Earthling clamp is in the back part of balance base

9 balances should be levelled according to a level condition indicator to

guarantee the appropriate weighing accuracy

3.2 Time of warming-up

Before performing measurements wait until balance reaches temperature
stabilization. It is so-called warm-up time. It takes about 15 minutes.
For weighing instruments that have been stored in low temperatures (e.g.
during winter) the warm-up time is about 2 hours.

The indications of display may change during temperature stabilization.

7

3.3. Balance levelling

To do the measurements correctly level the scale. Take the pan off carefully
(without rapid pulls and hits) and turn the legs in order to level the balance, air
bubble should be place in the centre of level condition indicator.

Fig. 2. Balance levelling

1- correct levelling

2- incorrect levelling

4. UNDER-FLOOR WEIGHING

For scales with 165 x 165mm platforms can weigh underslinged loads (hanged
under the balance floor). In case of using this function:

− remove the hole plug made of plastic (placed in the balance floor),

− a suspension can be seen in the hole. It is standard equipment,

− Mount an appropriate hook for hanging loads (hook is non-standard

equipment).

1. The suspense cannot be rotated, revolved or tampered in any way,
because of direct connection with the weighing mechanism of the
balance.

2. All the additional elements like pan, string etc. should be tarred (TARE).

3. Balances with 300 x 300mm or 410 x 410mm platforms do not have the

under-floor weighing mechanism.

7. WEIGHING

Basic conditions which should be fulfilled to ensure reliability of measurements:

9 stable base for balance,
9 choice of appropriate parameters for existing external conditions

Before measurements or in case of essential changes of external conditions,
balance should be calibrated according to manual (for verified balances,
function of calibration is not accessible for user)
Before measurements check if unloaded balance indicates „precise zero” –
indicated pictogram -
parameter is set on 1: yes or P4 07 for second platform), if balance doesn’t
indicates zero press key:

If conditions for zeroing are unfavourable (lack of stable result), display
indicates horizontal lines. After exceeding set zeroing time of balance will
return to weighing without performing zeroing. In such case wait for
stabilization of conditions and press again

Tarring can be performed repeatedly in the whole balance weighing range.
Using tare function pay attention not to exceed the maximum weighing range.
After removing the load and package display will indicate mass equal to mass
of tare with minus sign.

Notice:

Tare value is not stored in balance memory and is deleted after disconnecting
from mains

19

7.2. Inscribing tare value

It is possible to inscribe tare value.
To do it in weighing mode follow the below instructions:

• Select the platform for tarring,

• Using PC keyboard inscribe a tare value (in basic unit) according to

display format e.g.: if the basic unit is “kg” and 0,005kg is a scale division
and you want to inscribe 1.05kg as a tare value, enter it in the following
format: 1.050,

• In the bottom left corner the editing field appears for inscribing a tare
value,

3 – tare value

• press T or F6 (PC keyboard),

• Tare can be inscribed any time.

Notice

Use “point” for decimal fractions.

7.3. Automatic tare

This function is useful for quick determining net mass of weighed goods when
tare values are different for each weighings. It is accessible in <P4 Readout>
parameters group.

Zeroing of indication is possible only in range of 2% of maximum capacity
currently displayed balance/platform. If zeroed value is bigger than 2% of
maximum capacity display will indicate error message and return to displaying
previous value – for main balance or displayed mass will not change.

key. Indication will return

21

Notice:

Balance zeroing determines a new zero point treated by balance as precise
zero. Zeroing is possible only in stable states of the indication.

8. BALANCE CALIBRATION

To ensure very high accuracy of weighing, periodical entering to memory
correction factor of balance indication referring to standard mass is required; it
is so called balance calibration. In WLT balances it is inaccessible for user. The
procedure of calibration can be performed only by authorized services of the
manufacturer.

User by means of appropriate setting of parameters from menu group <P4
Readout> can adjust the balance to existing operating conditions (filter) and
one’s expectations (refreshing, autozero, last digit displaying)

Fig. 13. Submenu Readout – internal settings

11.1. Filter setting

For perfect conditions filter can be set as very fast, however if conditions are
bad (vibrations, draughts) filter should be set as slow or as very slow.
Effectiveness of filter operating is different for weighing range. Filter works
slower in time of “reaching” the final result, however stronger when mass gets
to set range of filter operating (parameter range of filter operating available only
in service menu – user do not have access to it).

11.2. Median filter setting

Task of median filter is to eliminate single big disturbances. By setting digital
value determines speed of filter operating. For zero option filter operating is off.

26

11.3. Setting the time of display refreshment

This parameter determines how often indication of display is refreshed. It is
realized by comparing what in given moment is on the display with information
sent by balance processor about state of weighed mass placed on the pan.

For higher refreshment parameters value display do not indicate intermediate
unstable mass indication by placing and removing the load on balance pan,
however for low values all changes of mass during weighing are visible – e.g.
this enables dosing loose or liquid materials. Time of refreshment is set in
seconds.

11.4. Setting of autozero operating

To ensure accurate balance indications software “AUTOZERO” function was
introduced. Task of this function is automatic control and correction of balance
zero indication.
When function is active comparison of successive results takes place in
declared distance of time e.g. every 1 s. If these result differ in value lower than
declared range of AUTOZERO e.g. 1 interval, balance will automatically zero
and markers of stable result –

and zero indication – will be
displayed.
When AUTOZERO function is on every measurement starts from precise zero.
There are some special cases when this function interrupts in measurem ents.
Example of it can be very slow placing the load on the pan (e.g. pouring the
load) in such case system of zero indication correction can also correct
indication of real mass of load. AUTOZERO can be switch on or off in
parameter P4 06 – main platform 07 – additional platform.

11.5. Last digit

To ensure appropriate comfort of operating with balance user determines
(depending on needs) if last digit of mass indication is to be displayed and in
which states of balance. One of below values can be set:

- 0 never

- 1 always

- 2 when stab

For verified balance option 1 – always is set (without possibility of changing)

27

11.6. Negative

Possibility to change displaying mode – negative effect (dark background, light
signs).

11.7. Two platforms

Setting the parameter to YES causes displaying on the display results of
weighing from both platforms at the same time.

11.8. Automatic tare

This function is useful for quick determining net mass of weighed goods when
tare values are different for each weighings (see chapter 7.3. of this manual).

and “sums” indicator will be zeroed).
After exceeding total quantity of pieces determined by M2 parameter “cc label”
will be printed, n1 and n2 and “sums” indicator will be zeroed.

20.6. Labelling with checkweighing

To turn on the control:

♦ In “Operating settings” menu change value of parameter “Result control”

on YES.

♦ In assortments base enter to edition of chosen assortment

♦ Set parameters “min. pcs”, “max pcs”

Return to weighing window fig.40.

If quantity of counted detail contains in Min. pcs. – Max. pcs, set in given
assortment on the display indicator pos. 1 will change on “OK” and label
printing will be possible.
If indicator pos.1 has value “LO” or “HI” it is not possible to print labels.

56

20.7. Automatic printout

Automatic printout enables labels printing without pressing PRINT key.
Automatic printout takes place when result is stable . Function works in all
labelling modes if all conditions for given operating mode are fulfilled (e.g. by
result control quantity of pieces must contain in given thresholds, result must
be stable).

To turn the automatic printout on:

♦ In “Operating Settings” menu choose “Aut. printout"

♦ Change value of parameter on YES

♦ Return to weighing mode

Further actions depend on currently chosen labelling mode.

Notice:

Parameter “Min. Pcs.”(„Operating settings” menu) is connected with automatic
printout. It is quantity of pieces below which mass indication must go by
weighing next batch of assortment (removing batch from the pan and placing
next batch). Automatic printout is possible when quantity of pieces is highe r
than “Min. pcs.” value. Parameter is independent from “result control”. If “min
pcs” is set on 0 automatic printout will not take place.

21. BARCODES

21.1. General description

Barcodes are the most popular form of automatic identification of articles. They
are used to describe documents and products to allow automatic loading data
to computers. Barcode scanners are used to interpret barcodes and send
information to external devices. For receiving overprints of barcodes are used
label printers. (e.g. CITIZEN, ZEBRA)
There are many barcode types with deferent information content. Barcodes are
graphical interpretation of information in dark and white strips of different width.
The main objective of using codes is speeding up and increasing faithfulness of
read information, which substituted manual entering of information.
The number of industries which adapt barcode technologies is continuously
growing. More and more firms build they automatic identification system on the
basis of barcode scanners.

57

Scanning technology for barcodes reading:

• laser – longer scanning range (e.g. QS-6000+, Cubit)

• diode – durable, faster operation (e.g. Dioder, QS-2500)

21.2. EAN code

One of the most popular barcodes are EAN (European Article Numbering),
which were approved for common use in retail trade in 1976. American
equivalent is UPC.

EAN code types:

• EAN-13 (zawiera 12 cyfr danych i jedną cyfrę kontrolną)

• EAN-8 (7 cyfr danych i 1 cyfra kontrolna).

• EAN-128 (digital version of CODE 128)

First 3 digits signify a country (e.g. 590 - Poland), with the exception of codes
that starts with the digit 2 – this codes are used to mark articles if different
weight and dimensions especially packed in shops. EAN 13 is used together
with ISSN (International Standard Serial Number), for newspapers and
magazines. 3-digit country code is substituted by 977.

21.3. Other barcodes

• Code 39 – Alphanumerical barcode with variable length. It allows to us
43 different characters; each character comprises 9 elements (dark
and white strips).

• Code 128 – Alphanumerical barcode with variable length devised to
expand Code 39 possibilities.

• Interleaved 2 of 5 – Numerical code with variable length (always even).
High density – digits coded in pairs "with interleave" – dark strip code
one digit and white (separable) the second.

21.4. Advantages of using barcodes

• Less errors during data input in comparison to manual inscribing

• Quick data loading – direct input to external devices

• Costs – more efficient client service, simpler reserves management,

shorter reaction time, lower level of reserves.

58

Barcode technology allows to:

• Monitor commercial transactions,

• survey stored reserves

• supervise warehouse transactions collecting, decomposing,

palletization etc.

• shorten time of loading and unloading goods

• monitor production in real time

• monitor reserves

21.5 The usage of EAN-128 barcode in scales.

The EAN-128 barcode standard has been created to provide a worldwide
standard for exchanging simple data between enter prices. Other codes include
data without marking what they include. EAN-128 includes data with all
information about them.

For example, when coding 17,21 kg as 1721 an application does not know if it
is a price, time or mass. Even if the application can identify this field as weight
it has no information about unit and point (1721 kg or 17.21 g).

It is important that everybody can decode the information without any additional
modifications. EAN-128 standard solves this problem. It includes a list of
"Application Identifiers". Every identifier carries a message to inform a system
about the data type and format. E.g. 310 identifier indicates for the net mass in
kg. The next digit in this identifier outlines the point position, then the following
6 digits outline a weight.

Application Identifiers.

21.6. Operating with barcode scanners

Balance enables cooperation with bar code scanner. Scanner is used for fast
searching and loading the assortment from assortments base (Start 1, Length

1).
Parameters “Start 1 and Length 1” are to determine quantity of signs from code
designed for placing in “Code 1 buffer” Draw. 32
Parameters “Start 2 and Length 2” are to determine quantity of signs from code
designed for placing in “Code 2 buffer” Draw. 32

Proceeding:

1. While in “Weighing” mode enter balance menu (F key), choose submenu P9
“Other” and enter “Scanner Set.”

2. Read the bar code with scanner

3. Display will indicate value of read code draw. 32

6. Set parameter Code as

♦ Text – searching assortment by EAN parameter from assortment base

Caution:

For each assortment there must be given value of code: parameter EAN
(determines Start 1 and Length 1 parameters).

62

♦ Number – searching number of assortment (from 0001 to 0999)
♦ None – no searching , only reading to “Buf. Code 1” and “Buf. Code 2)

are read

7. Set parameter Start 2

8. Set parameter Length 2

It is possible to set “Start 1”, “Length” parameters,

“Start 2”, “Length 2” parameters that they would overlap draw. 34

Value of code determined by parameters “Start 2” and “Length 2” will be

saved in “Buf. Code 2” (available as field to print in labels base)

23.2. Non-standard printouts

Rules of creating non-standard printouts:

− user can create 4 own printouts

− for each printout give number of text from which printout should start

e.g. Printout 1 Start – 1 and number of text ending given printout e.g.
Printout 1 Stop – 40, in such case contents of texts from 1 to text 40
will be printed.

− next write in contents of text in the lines 1 ÷ 40
It is recommended to use PC keyboard, it is much easier and faster.

− Non-standard printouts can overlap each other:
that is.: Printout 1 Start – 1

Printout 1 Stop – 40
Printout 2 Start – 20
Printout 2 Stop – 40

66

Notice:

During writing in by hand give all special signs such as CRLF, tabulator, etc.

26. TRANSMISSION POTOCOL

26.1. Some basic information

 The communication protocol has been designed for exchanging information

between RADWAG scales and external devices via RS-232C.

 The communication protocol has been designed in the form of request

response messages.

 Scales always respond after receiving a command or generated

automatically by the program after completing the command.

 Using the set of commands you can fetch some information from the scale

or influence the operation of the device. E.g. It is possible to:

• Identify the scale

• Collect weighing results

• Keyboard control

• Display control

• Changes of variables

• Other

External software have to assure not sending the next command without
receiving the answer for the previous one.

26.2. Transmission parameters

• Scales are equipped in RS 232 (bidirectional) and RS485 (one
direction from the scale to an external device).

• Possibile interface settings:

Parameter Setting

Baud rate 2400 – 4800 – 9600 – 19200
Parity Even/odd/None
Data bits 7/ 8
Stop bits 1/ 2
Flow control (cannot be used in HX) No – RTS/CTS – XON/XOFF

76

26.3. Transmission characteristics

Scales with MCB X.XX program use two different ways of transmission:

• Continuous transmission or automatic printout (RS 232 and RS 485)

• of request-response messages (request messages via RS 232 and

response messages via RS 232 or RS 485)

26.4. Continuous transmission/automatic printout

26.4.1. Types of printouts

pes of automatic printouts in the scale provided it is not a retail

When
stab.

y

Continuous transmission with the time pause between the
subsequent printouts. The pause is set in the next
parameter in the menu.

Printouts are automatically generated after each stable
measurement over min. mass (next parameter).
The next printout can be generated when the result
achieves the value below the Min. mass and again over it.

There are 3 t

26.4.2. Continuous transmission

Results are transmitted in basic units. Transmission can be disable d/enabled
using RS232 command:

C1 CR LF – Switch on continuous transmission in basic unit
C0 CR LF – Switch off continuous transmission in basic unit

or using the parameter: settings/ RS-232/Aut. printout/continuous
The frame length is constant (21 characters).
Frame format:

[SI] [space] [stability] [space] [sign] [mass] [space] [unit] [CR LF]

Stability character – [space] if stable
[?] if not stable
[^] if an indication over the range
[v] if an indication below the range
sign – [space] for positive values or [-] for negative values
mass – 9 characters justified to the right
unit – 3 characters justified to the left

26.5. Commands and responses syntax

26.5.1. Commands syntax

All comman


 Commands can include a parameter or not

Overall format:

ID CR LF – example of a command without a parameter
ID _ PARAMETER CR LF – example of a command with a parameter

where:

• ID – command 1-4 characters

• _ - space (ASCII 32 decimal)

• PARAMETER – string of ASCII characters. Texts have to be inscribed

within a quotation marks.

• Spaces are not elements of the syntax – placed only for better
readability.

ds are terminated with CR,LF (ASCII 13 dec,10 dec)

80

26.5.2. Response syntax

Response can include parameters or not and additionally can signalize errors.
After receiving an appropriate command scales response immediately with:

 Immediate response
 Acknowledge of receiving a command
 Accepting of a received command
 Not accepting of a received command

Overall format:

ID _ STATUS CR LF - example of a command without a parameter
ID _ STATUS _ PARAMETER CR LF - example of a command with a

parameter
E S CR LF - error detected or not listed command

where:

• ID – command 1-4 characters

• _ - space (ASCII 32 dec)

• STATUS – one character that outlines the response status or a status

of the scale.

Different possibilities:
A – in case of commands that cannot be completed immediately ­command accepted

I – correct command but cannot be executed at that moment
D – in case of commands that cannot be completed immediately -

command completed
E – error of execution of a command e.g. incorrect parameter value.

Additionally when the parameter is a weighings result, STATUS can
be:
_ - (space ASCII 32 dec) stable result

? – non-stable result
^ - error – result over the range
v – error – result below the range
