1.0 INTRODUCTION • The CFW series of scales provide an accurate, fast, versatile series of general purpose weighing scales with counting and check-weighing functions. • There are 2 series of scales- CFW scales are kilogram only scales and the CFWa scales offer changeable unit from pounds to kilograms. The scales share the same functions but special instructions will be given for the CFWa series to be able to change the weighing units.

3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 3.2 LOCATING THE SCALES • The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. • Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. • Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate. • Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors. • Do not place near vibrating machinery.
3.3 SETTING UP THE SCALES • The pillar is attached to the base using a bracket that must be attached to the base frame first using the 4 bolts supplied. The pillar is secured to the bracket using 2 sets of screws. The cable from the base to the indicator module is run through the tube and taken out through the plastic support at the top. Excess cable can be stored within the tube. • The CFW Series comes with a stainless steel platform packed separately. Place the platform in the base.
4.0 KEY DESCRIPTIONS [Zero] or Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero. A secondary function is of "Enter" key used when setting up the value for the Parameters. [Tare] or Tares the scale. Stores the weight currently on the scale as tare value, subtracts the tare value from the gross weight and shows the results. A secondary function is of incrementing the active digit when setting a value for Parameters. [Pcs] Selects parts counting.
A secondary function is to move the active/flashing digit to the right when setting values for the Parameters. [Func] or [F] Selects the Functions of the scale. If the scale is weighing, it will select parts counting. If it is not in weighing mode, it will return the user to weighing. A secondary function (C) is to act as a clear key when setting values for Parameters. [Print/M+] or Sends the results to a PC or a Printer using the RS232 interface.
6.0 OPERATION 6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY • You can press the [Zero/Enter] key at any time to set the zero point. This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show an indicator for zero. • The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press the [Zero/Enter] key to rezero the scale if small amounts of weight are shown when the platform is empty. 6.
tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed. • When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared just before removing the container this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products that was removed. The “ZERO” indicator will be on to indicate that the platform is back to the same condition as it was when the [Zero/Enter] key was last pressed.
• Press the [Zero/Enter] key again when the number matches the number of parts used as the sample. As more weight is added the display will show the number of parts (pcs). • Pressing the [Pcs] key will display the unit weight (g/pcs), pressing it second time will display the net weight (pcs and kg) and the third time, it will be the count again (pcs). • Press the [Func/C] key to return to normal weighing or to start counting a different sample.
6.5 CHECK-WEIGHING Check-weighing is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds values stored in memory. The memory holds values for a high and a low limit. Either or both can be used. See PARAMETERS Section for the procedure. To set the limits, "F0 H-L" is used. After limits have been set the Check-weighing function is enabled.
Checkweighing facility can be set up during Weighing or Parts Counting by entering values as Low or/and High Limits keyed in by the user. The limits are displayed in kg or pcs respectively. Checkweighing during Weighing Checkweighing during Parts Counting To disable the Check-Weighing function enter zero into both limits by pressing the [Func/C] key when the current limits are shown then pressing [Zero/Enter] to store the zero values. 6.
• Remove the weight, allowing the scale to return to zero and put a second weight on. Press the [Print/M+] key, the display will show "ACC 2", then the new total and finally the value of the second weight. No. of accumulation of weights Total weight for 3 accumulations • Continue until all weights have been added. • To view the total in memory press the [Print/M+] key when there is no weight on the scale. The display will show the number of entries and the total.
7.0 USER PARAMETERS • The scale has 7 User Parameters that can be set by the user. To set these Parameters press the [Func] key. The display will show the first parameter, "F0 H-L". • Pressing the [Tare/Ï] will cycle through the other parameters. • Pressing [Zero/Enter] will allow you to enter a parameter directly for setting or further enter a sub-parameter. Press the [Print/Esc] key to leave the parameter unchanged.
SETTING OF USER PARAMETERS PARAMETER SUBPARAMETER DESCRIPTION F0 H-L SEt Lo Sets a value for the Low Limit used for 000.000 checkweighing. Sets a value for the High Limit for 000.000 checkweighing. Clears the Accumulation Total in the memory without printing the results. Prints the Accumulation Total in the memory and then clears the memory. Prints the Accumulation Total in the memory but does not clear the memory. Enables or disables the weighing units.

8.0 BATTERY OPERATION • The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life is approximately 70 hours. • When the battery needs charging a symbol on the display will turn on. The battery should be charged when the symbol is on. The scale will still operate for about 10 hours after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery. • To charge the battery, simply plug the adaptor into the mains power. The scale does not need to be turned on.
9.0 RS-232 INTERFACE The CFW Series of scales can be ordered with an optional RS-232 bi-directional interface. Specifications: RS-232 output of weighing data ASCII code 4800 Baud (600-9600 selectable) 8 data bits (8 data bits no parity, 7 data bits even and odd parity selectable) No Parity Connector: 9 pin d-subminiature socket Pin 2 Input Pin 3 Output Pin 5 Signal Ground Data Format for normal weighing operations, parts counting or recalling of totals from memory will all be different.
When parts counting- the weight, unit weight and count will be printed: GS UW PCS 12.340kg 123.4g 100pcs GS for Gross weight, NT for net weight and a unit of weight The average piece weight computed by the scale The number of parts counted Includes 2 line feeds When recalling the Total weight stored in the accumulation memory the output format is: *************** TOTAL No. 5 Wgt 21.455 kg *************** 9.1 A line of stars is shown .
10.0 CALIBRATION The scale can be calibrated using the following procedure. For a more detailed method of calibrating the scale, it will be necessary to enter the secure Programming Menu. Refer to the CFW Service Manual for more information. The CFW scales calibrate using either metric or pound weights, depending on the weighing unit in use before calibration. The display will show either "kg" or "lb" to identify the weights expected.
11.0 SERVICE SECTION To set the Service Parameters it will be necessary to enter the User Parameters as before and then use a password code while entering the programming parameter “PROG”. 11.1 CFW FACTORY PROGRAMMING AND CALIBRATIONS • The parameter “PROG” allows access to the calibration section. To enter this parameter press [Func] and then press [Tare/Ï] until "PROG" is displayed. • The Programming Parameter “PROG” has a number of sub-parameters that allow the scale to be customised for the application.
SETTING OF SERVICE PARAMETERS SUBPARAMETER FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION DEFAULT SETTING P1 rEF AZn 0 Auto Zero operating range.
