1.0 INTRODUCTION • The WBW range provides accurate, fast and versatile general purpose weighing scales with check-weighing functions. • There are three series within the range- WBW-M, WBW and WBWa. • The WBW-M scales are configured at the factory for compliance with EN 45501, OIML R-76. They have different capacities and readabilities from the standard WBW series.

3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 UNPACKING Remove the scale from the packing carefully. Inside the box you will find everything needed to start using the scale- 3.2 Pre-assembled scale Stainless steel top pan Power Supply Module Operators Manual LOCATING • 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.
3.3 SETTING UP • The WBW Series comes with a stainless steel pan. Place it on the top if already not installed. • 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 supply module to the bottom of the scale and plug into the mains.
4.0 KEYPAD 4.1 KEYS PRIMARY FUNCTION SECONDARY FUNCTION [O/I] Switches the scale on or off [Zero] Sets the zero point for all subsequent weighing. The display shows zero. Escapes from a parameter or an option without changing the value. [Tare] Tares the scale and stores the current weight in memory as a tare value, subtracts the tare value from the total weight and shows the results. This is the net weight. Enters the selected parameter or value for setting.
5.0 DISPLAY 6.0 SYMBOLS AND INDICATORS The LCD has unique symbols to indicate the following: The display is at Zero 0 The scale is Stable Net Net weight- The scale has been tared kg / g / lb / oz / lb:oz Symbols shown for the units Capacity Tracker- A bar graph indicating the proportion of the scale capacity being used by the weight on the pan Low battery bAt LO Indicates full battery strength. Will show less number of bars for weaker strength.
7.0 BATTERY OPERATION • The scales can be operated from the battery, if desired. The battery life is approximately 50 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 20 minutes after which it will automatically switch off to protect the battery. • To charge the battery, simply attach the power supply module to the scale and plug in. 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. The limits can be locked by the manager. A Limit Password must be used to change the limits or recall other limits from memory. 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. Setting up Check-weighing • Press the [Limit] key. It will show the last used high limit. • The user will be asked for the password if the current checkweighing password is anything other than “0000”.
12.0 CALIBRATION 12.1 WBW-M APPROVED SCALES, CALIBRATION PROCEDURE The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised access to the circuit boards and load cell. One method calibration of the WBW-M scale is accomplished by breaking the security seals to gain access to the circuit boards inside. See the figures on the security seal as given below. WARNING: BREAKING OF THE SEALS MAY MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO USE THE SCALES FOR SALES OF GOODS. CONTACT YOUR TRADING STANDARDS OFFICE FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE. 12.
12.3 CALIBRATION COUNTER The scales are sealed to prevent unauthorised calibration. However it is possible to calibrate the scales as the software includes a counter to keep track of how many times the scale has been calibrated and this value is recorded on the scale so that future inspections can see if the scale has had the counters incremented. Refer to the WBW-M Service Manual for details of calibration procedures. 12.
Method 2 Alternatively, you may calibrate entering the group 2 Parameters (see Section 13.2). • Press [Tare] when “S6 CAL” is displayed. • Display will show “UnLoAd”. • Remove all weights and press [Tare] when the scale is stable. • Display will show “Ld xx”. Place the suggested calibration mass on the pan. • Press the [Tare] key when the stable indicator is on. • The scale will calibrate to the mass and then return to the parameter “S6 CAL” • Press the [Zero] key to return to weighing.
13.0 PARAMETER SETTING This section allows the user to access the parameters for customising the scale. The parameters are split into 2 groups1. Check weighing Parameters 2. Scale Parameters In the following sections use the [Limit] key to scroll through the options, the [Tare] key to accept the option and the [Zero] key to return to weighing. Wherever numeric values are required to be entered, use the [Limit] and [Unit] keys to increment the flashing digits as explained in section 4.1. 13.
“donE”. If the old parameter is other than “0000”, enter the old one when “P _ _ _ _” is displayed and then enter the new password twice when asked. When complete, it will display “donE”. 13.2 SCALE PARAMETERS To enter this section press and hold the [Unit] key for 4 seconds. The display will go directly to “S1 Un”. These parameters are used to control the operation of the scale.
14.0 ERROR CODES During the initial power-on testing or during operation, the scale may show an error message. The meaning of the error messages is described below. If an error message is shown, repeat the step that caused the message. If the error message is still shown then contact your dealer for support. ERROR CODE DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSES Err 4 Initial Zero is greater than allowed (4% of maximum capacity) when power is turned on or when [Zero] is pressed.
