1.0 INTRODUCTION • The CBK range of scales provides an accurate, fast and versatile general purpose weighing scales with parts counting, percent weighing and check-weighing functions. • There are two series within the range. The CBKa series are similar to the CBK series except the CBKa scales can operate in both imperial and metric weighing units, whereas for the CBK series the imperial units are not available.

3.2 LOCATING © Adam Equipment Company 2007 • 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.
3.2 SETTING UP • The CBK Series comes with a stainless steel platform packed separately. • Place the platform in the locating holes on the top cover. • Do not press with excessive force as this could damage the load cell inside. • Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. The scale should be adjusted such that the bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of the level and the scale is supported by all four feet. • Attach the power cable to the connector on the base on the left of the scale.
4.0 KEYPAD KEYS PRIMARY FUNCTION SECONDARY FUNCTION [Zero] Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero. Escape from any setting menus [Tare] It tares the scale and stores the current weight in memory as a tare value, subtracts the tare value from the weight and shows the results. This is the net weight. Accept the set values [Unit] This is used to select the weighing units from a preset list of available units.
5.0 DISPLAY 6.
7.0 BATTERY • The scales can be operated from the battery, if desired. The battery life is approximately 90 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 into the mains power supply. The scale does not need to be turned on.
10.0 OPERATIONS 10.1 ZEROING • You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing and counting is measured. This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show the zero indicator. • The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform.
NOTE: 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 which were removed. The zero indicator will also be on as the platform is back to the same condition it was when [Zero] was pressed last. Press [Tare] or [Zero] to remove the tare value and display zero. The Net indicator will disappear. 10.2.
• If a container is to be used, place this container on the platform before entering parts counting and press [Tare]. • Press [Count] to enter the Parts Counting mode. The display will show the last sample size used. For example, “10 Pcs”. • Either place 10 parts on the platform for determining the average piece weight or use a different number of parts. For example, place 20 parts on the platform, press [CE] to clear the last values and then enter the value 20 using the numeric keypad.
• To count a different sample quantity, press the [Count] key. The display will show the last used sample size. Either use this sample size with a different part or enter a new sample size as above. • To return to weighing, press [Unit] when “0 pcs” is displayed. 10.5 CHECK-WEIGHING Check-weighing is a procedure to display an indicator or sound an alarm when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds the values stored in the memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low limit.
3. If Limit Password is enabled then enter the password which will allow you to change the limits or the operation of the beeper or bargraph. 10.5.1 Setting up check-weighing while weighing • Press the [Low Limit] key. It will show the current low limit. The “LO” symbol will appear on the display. • Press the [CE] key to clear the old value and then enter the new low limit using the numeric keys. The decimal point is fixed at the position that is used for the current weighing unit.
10.6 LIMITS STORING AND RECALLING The scale can store up to 10 sets of high and low limits in memory along with the weighing units in use (including pcs for parts counting and % for percent weighing) as well as settings for the beeper and bar graph. During Check weighing the current limits can be stored or previously stored units can be recalled. Press the [ Lim] key.
NOTE: 1. If the recalled limit is for parts counting, the display will show the last sample value used, ready for a new sample to be counted. 2. If the recalled unit is a percent weighing limit, the display will show the last sample value used, ready for a new sample to be weighed. 3. If the memory location was empty the scale will return to weighing. 10.7 PERCENT WEIGHING The scale can be set to perform percent weighing. See Section 13.1.
if 3500g is placed on the scale and percent weighing is selected, the display will show 100.00%. Remove the 3500g weight and place a 3000g weight. The display will show 85.7% as 3000g is 85.7% of 3500g. • The number of decimal points will depend on the weight used. A smaller weight will show only “100%” while a larger weight might show “100.00%”. • If the scale was showing zero weight when entering this function, then the user must manually enter the weight to be set as 100%.
NOTE: 1. The accumulation function is available only during weighing. disabled during parts counting or percent weighing. It is 2. The accumulated weights will be stored in either kg (for g or kg) or lb (for lb, oz or lb:oz). 3. If at any time the weighing units are changed, the accumulated data will be lost. 10.8.1 Manual Accumulation When the scale is set to manual accumulation, the weight displayed will be stored in the memory when the [Print] key is pressed and the weight is stable.
• To view the total in memory press the [Print] key when the scale is at zero. The display will show the total number of accumulation "ACC xx" and the total weight before returning to zero. • To print the total, press [Print] to recall and then immediately press [Print] the second time to print the results. • To erase the memory, press [Print] to view the total and then immediately press [CE] to clear the memory. 10.8.
11.0 RS-232 INTERFACE The CBK Series are supplied with bi-directional RS-232 interface as standard. The scale when connected to a printer or computer outputs the weight with the selected weighing unit through the RS-232 interface. Specifications: RS-232 output of weighing data ASCII code 9600 Baud (user selectable) 8 data bits No Parity Connector: 9 pin d-sub miniature socket Pin 3 Output Pin 2 Input Pin 5 Signal Ground The scale can be set to print text in English, French, German or Spanish.

NOTE: 1. The accumulated total will not be sent to the RS-232 when the continuous print is turned on. 2. The continuous print will only be for the current weight and the display data. 3.

12.0 CALIBRATION • The CBK scales are calibrated using kilogram weights and CBKa scales are calibrated using pounds. • To start the calibration, either get into the calibration section through the Scale Settings (“FUnC 3”- see Section 13.3) or turn the scale off and switch on again and then press [Tare] during the self-test. Enter code number 0000 and press [Tare]. This will take you directly to the calibration section.
13.0 PARAMETER SETTINGS Pressing the [Func] key allows the user to access the parameters for customising the scale. The parameters are split into 3 groups1. Check weighing parameters, 2. RS-232 parameters and 3. Scale parameters • When [Func] is pressed, display will first show “FUnC 1” for Check weighing parameters. • Enter [2] for RS-232 parameters or [3] for Scale parameters or press the [Func] key to advance through the groups “FUnC 1”, “FUnC 2” and “FUnC 3”.
