Operations
Operating Practices
Warning: The crane scale will be operated by qualified designated persons, trainees
under the direct supervision of designated persons, maintenance and test personnel
when in performance of their assigned duties, or lifting device inspectors.
Warning: Do not exceed the rated load limit of the crane scale.
Warning: The crane scale shall be applied to the load in accordance with the
instruction manual.
Warning: Prior to lifting the operator shall make sure that all ropes or chains are not
kinked and if multiple lines are used they are not twisted around each other.
Warning: Ensure that the load is correctly distributed for crane scale use.
Warning: Ensure the temperature of the load does not exceed the maximum
temperature limits of the crane scale.
Warning: Ensure that swinging of the crane scale is minimized when positioning it over
the load.
Warning: Avoid any sudden acceleration of deceleration when moving the load.
Warning: Do not allow the crane scale or the lifter to come into contact with any
obstruction when moving the load.
Warning: Do not operate the crane scale if it has damaged, malfunctioning or missing
parts.
Warning: Do not lift people with the crane scale.
Warning: Do not lift suspended loads over people.
Warning: Do not use the crane scale to pull side loads or to slide loads unless
specifically authorized by a qualified person.
Warning: Do not leave suspended loads unattended.
Warning: Do not remove or obscure warning labels.
Warning: Do not operate the crane scale without having read and understood the
operating manual.

Warning: Stay clear of suspended loads.
Warning: Do not lift loads higher than necessary.
Warning: Do not make alterations or modifications to the crane scale.
Warning: Ensure all portions of the human body are kept clear of all device involved
with the rigging during the lift.

Controls
ON
Press this button to turn the scale on. The scale tests itself; when these tests
have completed successfully, the system begins weighing.
Note: If you used the remote control to turn off the scale (the last time), you must
first press the OFF key, then press the ON key.
OFF
Press this button to turn the scale off.
ZERO
Tells the scale to display a zero weight. This button is used any time the scale
shows a non-zero value with no weight on the hook. If you press ZERO with
weight on the hook, that weight becomes the zero condition for the scale. This
can be useful to cancel the weight of any weighing fixtures, such as containers,
chains or cables. When this weight is removed, a negative weight shows until
the system is zeroed again. NOTE: The “zero” command will be delayed any
time a change in weight is detected. If there is continuous motion for more than
20 or 30 seconds, the zero command will be rejected and the scale will return to
normal weighing.
NOTE: The scale contains a feature called Auto Zero Tracking (AZT), which
8
CS1500, Users
Rev S, June, 2009
corrects for slight zero changes during normal operation. If small weights are
added slowly, the scale could zero them off.
Lb/Kg
Toggles the weighing system between pound (English) and kilogram (SI metric)
units of measure. The current unit of measure is shown by the top indicator on
the left side of the display. If the scale is displaying pounds the indicator is on, if
the scale is displaying kilograms the indicator is off. Note: Switching units clears
the saved total and the peak value.
TARE Set/Display
Pressing the TARE key will set the tare equal to the current gross weight and
switch the display to net weight. This is shown by the middle indicator on the left
being turned off. The net weight is equal to the gross weight minus the tare
weight. The tare weight will only be set if the current gross weight is positive.
NOTE: The “tare” command will be delayed any time a change in weight is
detected. If there is continuous motion for more than 20 or 30 seconds, the tare
command will be rejected and the scale will return to normal weighing.
Push-button versus keyboard:
If the CS1500 is configured to have keyboard tare, pressing the tare key
will bring up a screen that allows the user to enter a tare value. See the
calibration section for how to configure the CS1500 for keyboard tare and
how to enter a number. If the keyboard tare is being used the tare value is
cleared when switching from pounds to kilograms or kilograms to pounds.
Displaying the tare weight:
9
CS1500, Users
Rev S, June, 2009
If a tare weight is set, pressing the TARE key will display the current value
of the tare. The tare will be displayed as long as you hold the key.
Clearing the tare:
Pressing the ZERO key than the TARE key, and releasing together will
reset the tare to zero.
PRINT
If the scale is configured to demand output, pressing the print button will print a
ticket. NOTE: The print ticket will be delayed any time a change in weight is
detected. If there is continuous motion for more than 20 or 30 seconds, the print
request will be rejected and the scale will return to normal weighing.

MODE
Moves through the available display modes; each time you press the button the
display steps to the next mode.
The 3 display modes are:
Weight on the scale (lower indicator will be off)
Total accumulated weight (lower indicator will be on)
The peak weight experienced (lower indicator will be blinking)
Each press of the MODE key will move to the next piece of information. For
example, if the peak weight is currently being viewed and the MODE key is
pressed the scale will return to showing the weight on the scale.
Totalizing:
Press the SET key to add the current net weight to the total accumulator.
Use the MODE key to display the current total accumulated weight.
Clearing total:
Press the SET and ZERO keys and release together while viewing the
total accumulated weight to zero the current total.
Peak hold:
The peak hold feature will remember the maximum weight applied. To
view the current peak value, use the MODE key. To clear the peak weight
press the SET and ZERO keys and release together while viewing the
current peak weight.
