World Scale Getting Started The following topics are covered in this chapter: ♦ Understanding the World Scale ♦ Mechanical Procedures ♦ Installation and Setup Understanding the World Scale The following topics are explained: ♦ Features ♦ The Console Features The World Scale is a durable, compact weighing device. Two digital displays show the Weight, Unit Price and Total Price to the Operator and Customer at the same time.
World Scale The Console The Console consists of: ♦ The Level Indicator ♦ The Operator Display ♦ The Status Display ♦ The Keypad The Level Indicator On the left side of the Console is a Level Indicator. When the bubble inside is directly in the center of the circle, the scale is level. Refer to Leveling the Scale in this chapter. The Operator Display The Operator Display Screen is where you will see the results of the action you have performed with the scale.
World Scale The Keypad Refer to the Table of Key Names and Descriptions on the following page for descriptions of the keys shown below.
World Scale Table of Key Names and Descriptions The table below corresponds to the Keypad layouts on the previous page. Refer to the WC30 Price Computing Scale Keypad and WP30 Portion Control Scale Keypad for identification. Wherever the Keypad Symbol is different, the WC30 is shown first. WC30 WP30 Key Name Keypad Symbol Function Yes Yes Display Test Yes Yes Zero [ZERO] or [→0←] Enables you to Rezero the scale. Yes Yes Tare [TARE] or [→T←] Enables you to enter Tare information.
World Scale Mechanical Procedures You will need to familiarize yourself with the following Mechanical Procedures in your World Scale: ♦ Short PRESS/Long PRESS (Beeps) ♦ Sleep/Wake Modes Short PRESS/Long PRESS (Beeps) The World Scale requires two types of touch when pressing certain keys on the Console: Short PRESS = PRESS and release. You will hear one beep. Long PRESS = PRESS and hold until you hear a second beep.
World Scale To select Wake mode: 1. Short PRESS the Display Test key. 2. The Status Display Screen will appear. 3. The Operator Display Screen will appear, showing all zeroes. WC30 WP30 Installation and Setup The following topics are covered: ♦ Setting Up the Scale ♦ Electrical Connections ♦ Zero Weight Setting Up the Scale Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If this unit is damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
World Scale Leveling the Scale QUICK STEPS Leveling the Scale 1. Locate Level Indicator 2. Adjust Scale Feet till bubble is centered Electrical Connections On the left side of the Console is a Level Indicator. When the bubble inside is directly in the center of the circle, the scale is level. There are four Scale Feet located underneath the scale system. You may need to adjust these feet slightly in the event the scale is not sitting properly.
World Scale Installing the Battery Pack To install the Battery Pack: QUICK STEPS Installing the Battery Pack 1. Remove the Weighing Platter. 2. Open the Battery Access Cover by pressing slightly and pulling upward. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 3. Remove the Battery Pack. 6. 7. 8. 9.
World Scale Zero Weight Make sure that the scale is at zero before weighing any product by Rezeroing the Scale. Remember, if you have a Tare in the scale’s memory, you will see the Tare amount as a negative number instead of zero. Tip Look for the Zero Indicator (→0←) on the upper left side of the Operator Display Screen. If it is not present, then Rezero the scale. Rezeroing the Scale If you find the scale is not at zero and it is not due to a Tare amount, then you must Rezero the scale.

Remove the container. 4. Short PRESS the [C] key to clear the Unit Price, if necessary. 5. Short PRESS the TARE key to clear any Tare. Assigning a PLU Speedkey (17) for a By Count Product (WC30) This function is helpful to minimize key presses on fast-selling By Count items.
World Scale Using the PLU Speedkeys (WC30) After you have programmed the PLU Speedkeys, you will find it most convenient to use this feature. No longer will you have to repeatedly key in the Unit Price or Tare for your top-selling Random Weight or By Count items. Select from the following topics: ♦ Using PLU Speedkeys 1-7 for Random Weight Products (WC30) ♦ Using PLU Speedkeys 1-7 for By Count Products (WC30) Note You must program the PLU Speedkeys before proceeding with the steps below.
World Scale Using PLU Speedkeys 1-7 for By Count Products (WC30) Once you have set up your PLU Speedkeys, you will find them quite useful for your fastest-selling By Count products.

To access Supervisor mode for the WC30 Price Computing Scale, perform the following steps: QUICK STEPS Entering Supervisor Mode (WC30) 1. Short PRESS Display Test key 2. Status Display Screen appears 3.
World Scale Navigating Supervisor Mode In Supervisor mode, you navigate by using: ♦ Function Keys ♦ Function Codes You may also want to review the Examples of Navigating Supervisor Mode at the end of this chapter. To navigate Supervisor mode: QUICK STEPS Navigating Supervisor Mode 1. Enter per your scale’s method 2. To get to a Function, Long PRESS [ ] or [ ] 3. To get to a Sub-Function, Short PRESS [ ] or [ ] 4. Function and Sub-Function display 5. Exit per your scale’s method 1.
World Scale Function Codes Function Codes contain the actual values which determine how your World Scale operates. The following Function Codes are available in your World Scale as indicated. Look At This To insure proper operation, use only recommended Function Values where indicated with an asterisk (*).
World Scale Examples of Navigating Supervisor Mode The following examples will give you a better understanding of how to navigate in Supervisor mode. Use the Function Keys and Function Codes as shown on the previous page to better understand the examples. The first example, Turn the Keyboard Beeper Off, is a good way to start. The second example, Changing the Duration of a Long PRESS, shows how to change a Function Value with multiple digits. This will benefit WP30 Users.
World Scale Changing the Duration of a Long PRESS 1. Enter Supervisor mode according to your scale’s instructions. See Entering Supervisor Mode (WP30) or Entering Supervisor Mode (WC30). 2. Long PRESS the RIGHT ARROW [ ] key until you get to Function Code 29. 3. Short PRESS the [C] key. This tells the World Scale that you are going to change the Function Value.
World Scale Programming a PLU (WC30) You may program a By Count PLU or a Random Weight PLU. Refer to the two examples, Programming a By Count PLU (WC30) and Programming a Random Weight PLU (WC30). When you are programming a PLU, you must navigate to Function Code 100 plus the PLU number. For the examples below, we will use PLU 5, which is Function Code 105. Refer to the Function Codes table for further information.
World Scale Programming a Random Weight PLU (WC30) 1. Enter Supervisor mode according to WC30 instructions. See Entering Supervisor Mode (WC30). 2. Long PRESS the RIGHT ARROW [ ] key until you get to the Function Code (Sub-Function zero = Unit Price) for the PLU you wish to program. In this example, we will use PLU 5. 3. Short PRESS the [C] key. This tells the World Scale that you are going to change the Function Value. 4. Change the Function Value of the Unit Price by using a Short PRESS on the keypad.
