1.0 INTRODUCTION The WBZ series of digital price-computing scales are EC Type approved, (type approval number T7476/TC7477) and the WBZ..aM series are NTEP approved scales, (type approval number 10-082). These scales provide an accurate, fast and versatile method of computing price by weight.
3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 3.2 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. 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 scale comes with a stainless steel platform, packed separately. • Place the platform on the top. Do not press with excessive force as that could damage the load cell inside. • Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. A spirit level is located at the rear panel. • 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.
4.0 KEYPAD [0[ to [9] Numeric entry keys to set the unit price. Some keys will have secondary functions if set at the factory which are as follows: [0] / kg/100g [1] / bL [2] / SLEEp [4] / €,£,$,R,¥,None [>Z<] [Tare] [0/I] Select price per kg or per 100g Black-light Control Control of Auto Off function Selection of monetary Symbol NOTE: All secondary functions may not be enabled for all scales.

6.0 SYMBOLS AND INDICATORS Symbols 0 Net Description Scale is in the zero position Net weight is being displayed Weighing result is stable kg /kg, /100 g Active weighing unit Price per kilogram or per 100g Indicates full battery strength. Will show less number of bars for weaker strength. €,£,$,R,¥, None Active Currency 7.0 BATTERY OPERATION • The scale has an internal rechargeable lead acid battery. This enables the scale operate for 50 hours when fully charged or less if the backlight is on.
• The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity. • Above the display is a LED to indicate the status of battery charging. When the scale is plugged into the mains power the internal battery will be charged. If the LED is green the battery is being charged. If it is red it is nearly discharged and yellow indicates the battery is increasing the charge level. Continue to charge overnight for a complete re-charge. 8.
10.2 TARING • Taring is used to eliminate the weight of a container so that only the net weight is displayed. On the WBZ 15 scales the tare is limited to 9.995kg. Weight above this amount will not be tared. • Zero the scale by pressing [ Z ] if necessary. The zero indicator will be on. • Place an empty container on the platform. The weight of the container will be displayed. • Press [Tare] to zero the scale.
10.3 WEIGHING To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container if used, then place the sample in the container. The Weight window will show the weight and the unit of weight currently in use. To hide the currency symbol, set the currency to “None”. See section 13.5. 10.4 DETERMINING VALUE OF A PRODUCT BY WEIGHT • To determine the cost of a product by weight, it is necessary to enter the unit price per kilogram or per 100g using the numeric keys.
11.0 RS-232 Not available for WBZ Scales. 12.0 CALIBRATION 12.1 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE The scales have methods to either prevent or control unauthorised calibration. If the Calibration Counters are enabled the scales can be calibrated without breaking the seals, however the counters will be incremented to identify a calibration or change in parameters. If the scales do not have the counters enabled then access is controlled by breaking the seals on the scale to gain access to the circuit boards inside.
An alternative method would be to use tamper-evident labels over the screw on the bottom cover and over the joint between the top and the bottom cover as shown in the adjacent figure. Metrology labels and additional security measures may be added to the scale as required by the national legislation. NOTE: IF THIS SEAL IS BROKEN THE SCALE MUST BE RE-SEALED BY THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES USING EITHER THE LEAD WIRE SEAL OR AN ACCEPTABLE SEAL BETWEEN THE COVER AND THE BASE. WBZ..
