Controls
On/Off
Press this button to turn the CS200 on. The unit tests itself; when these tests
have completed successfully, the system begins weighing. Press this button
again to turn the unit off.
NOTE: The scale will briefly display the firmware version when turning off.
ZERO
Tells the CS200 to display a zero weight. If you press ZERO with weight on the
pad, that weight becomes the zero condition for the scale. When this weight is
removed, a negative weight shows until the system is zeroed again.
NOTE: if this negative number is too large to fit on the display, the scale will
display “dIS
The scale contains a feature called Auto Zero Tracking (AZT), which corrects for
slight zero changes during normal operation. If small weights are added slowly,
the CS200 could zero them off.

Maintenance
Periodic Inspection
The crane scale and all associated adaptive devices require periodic inspection and
maintenance. The frequency and recording of the inspection requirements are found in
service categories below and are dependant on the type of service that the equipment
is used in as described below.
Service Categories
Normal Service – Crane scale is operated at less than 85% of it’s capacity except for
isolated instances. Complete the frequent service inspection monthly and record the
periodic service inspection annually.
Heavy Service – Crane scale is operated at 85% - 100% of it’s capacity as part of
normal usage. Complete the frequent service inspection weekly to monthly and record
the periodic service inspection semi-annually.
Severe Service – Crane scale is operated at 85% - 100% of it’s capacity and used in
environmental conditions that are unfavorable, harmful or detrimental to the use of the
crane scale. Complete the frequent service inspection daily to weekly and record the
periodic service inspection quarterly.
Inspection Requirements
Frequent Service Inspection (records not required)
A frequent visual inspection is completed at intervals indicated by the service category
above by the operator or designated person of the following.
1. Inspect for structural deformation, cracks or excessive wear of any part of the
crane scale or associated adaptive devices.
2. Inspect for loose or missing guards, fasteners, covers, stops, or nameplates.
3. Inspect all functional operating mechanisms and automatic hold and release
mechanisms for improper adjustments interfering with operation of the crane
scale or associated adaptive devices.
4. Inspect for distortion such as bending, twisting, or increased throat opening (if
applicable)
Periodic Service Inspection (records required)
A periodic visual inspection is completed at intervals indicated by the service category
above by the operator or designated person and documented to provide the basis for
continuing evaluation. The periodic inspection will cover areas in the frequent service
inspection above and the following.
1. Inspect for loose bolts or fasteners.
2. Inspect for cracked or worn gears, pulleys, sheaves, sprockets, bearings, chains,
and belts.

3. Inspect for excessive wear of linkages and other mechanical parts.
4. Inspect for excessive wear at hoist hooking points and load support clevices or
pins.
5. Inspect for any visible bends or twists of all used rigging devices.
6. Inspect all latches and locks for proper operation (if applicable)
Removal from Service Criteria
Note: Replacement parts of any device or parts of any device used in any aspect of
rigging to lift a load shall be at least equal to the original manufacture’s specifications

3. Hook has any visible bend or twist from the plane of the unbent hook.
4. Hook has an increase in throat opening of 5% not to exceed ¼ of an inch.
5. If self-locking hooks have the inability to lock.
6. A hook latch that is inoperable (if applicable)
Shackles
Shackles shall be removed from service if damage such as the following is visible and
shall only be returned to service when approved by a qualified person.
1. If the manufacturers name or trademark and / or the rated load identification is
missing or illegible.
2. The device shows signs of heat damage including weld spatter or arc strikes.
3. The device shows excessive pitting or corrosion.
4. The device is bent, twisted, distorted, stretched, elongated, cracked, or has
broken load-bearing components.
5. The device has excessive nicks or gouges.
6. The device has a 10% reduction of the original or catalog dimension at any point
around the body or pin.
7. The device has incomplete pin engagement.
8. The device has excessive thread damage.
9. The device shows evidence of unauthorized welding.
10. Any other condition including visible damage that causes doubt to the continued
use of the shackle.
Calibration
How to test the calibration
This calibration procedure should be performed annually for normal operating
conditions. If the unit is dropped or damaged, or service has been performed on the
scale, use this calibration check. Recommend calibration points at 10% intervals from

10% through 100% of the scales capacity.
Press the ON switch. The display does a lamp test; during this time the scale does a
quick check of itself. Then the weighing system starts weigh mode.
Intercomp recommends that you allow the electronics to operate for three minutes after
first turning power on. This allows the electronics to become stable for maximum
accuracy before you check the calibrations.
Make sure no weight is on the hook. Press the ZERO switch. The weight shown is zero.
Apply weights throughout the weighing range, and verify the correct weight is displayed
at each step. (+/- 0.1% of applied load or ±1 display graduation, whichever is greater)
If possible apply a weight of 105% of capacity, and verify the scale shows OVER on the
display.
Remove weights and verify the display returns to zero.
If there is a failure to meet any of the conditions above, please refer to the Calibration
Procedure.
When all the conditions above are correct, the scale is operational.
How to enter a number
During this routine you will be asked to enter numbers at many points. The scale will
show a number (originally all zeros) with a blinking digit. Press the ZERO key to
increase the value of the blinking digit. Press the BACKLIGHT key to move to other
digits. When you are finished entering the number press the ZERO and BACKLIGHT
keys together.
Three point span
This CS200 has a three point calibration feature which reduces the effects of nonlinearity in the load cells. This requires that you place three weights on the cell during
calibration. The first weight must be greater than zero, the second greater than the first,
and the final weight somewhere between the second and the capacity.
Calibration blocking switch
The calibration of the scale is protected from accidental change by a shunt placed on
pins 1 to 2 of CAL, located on the back of the circuit board. To allow calibration, the
shunt must be removed. When you are done calibrating, return the shunt to its original
location so that calibration is protected from change.
