INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Before beginning installation of your C Series Digital Counting Scale, make certain the scale has been received in good condition. Carefully remove the scale from the shipping carton and inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents or scratches) that may have taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing material for return shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all claims for any damages or loss incurred during transit.

Placement

Place the scale on a stable, vibration-free level surface away from direct sunlight and from any rapidly moving air source (heating/cooling vents, fans, etc.). Make certain the power cord and peripheral cables are routed out of the way of normal traffic.

CAUTION! DO NOT place the scale on any unstable cart, stand or table. The scale may fall causing injury to the operator, and seriously damage the unit, or proper operation of the scale may be inhibited.

Level Adjustment

Check to make certain the scale is level. The level indicator is located at the front of the scale. If the scale is not level (the bubble will not be centered), loosen the locking ring on all four (4) mounting feet and adjust them as required to center the bubble and attain a level scale. Once a level condition has been obtained, lock the mounting feet in place by tightening the adjustment locking rings against the bottom of the scale.

Power Connection

The scale contains a power supply that converts the 110/120/220/240 VAC 50/60Hz wall supply to the power required by the scale circuitry. The power supply also contains the circuitry necessary to monitor and recharge the battery and is capable of operating the scale and recharging the battery simultaneously.

AC Operation

Plug the power cord into a grounded, polarized wall receptacle that supplies 110/120 VAC 50/60Hz power. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, make certain it is a 3-wire, fully grounded type using a minimum of 18-gauge wire. Be certain the power cord is routed out of the way of normal traffic. If only an ungrounded wall receptacle is available, it is the customer's responsibility to contact a qualified electrician to replace the ungrounded receptacle with a properly grounded polarized wall receptacle or have a grounding adapter properly installed.

WARNING! To avoid electrical hazard, DO NOT under any circumstances, cut, remove, alter, or in any way bypass the power cord-grounding prong.

It is the responsibility of the customer to contact a qualified electrician to install the proper power cord connector. Plug the power cord into a grounded, polarized wall receptacle that supplies 220/240 VAC 50/60Hz power. Be certain the power cord is routed out of the way of normal traffic.

PRECAUTIONS

Most scales are designed for an office type environment. The C Series Digital Counting Scale is no exception to that rule. The following should be used as a guideline for the proper environment to operate your scale:

• The environment should be free of excessive dust and moisture.
• Provide a comfortable temperature. In general, the scale will perform well over a temperature range of 32 to 104^ (0 to +40^ ).
• To keep cooling requirements to a minimum, the scale should be placed out of direct sunlight and to provide adequate air circulation, keep the area around the scale clear.
• Make certain the scale is not directly in front of a heating or cooling vent. Such a location will subject the scale to sudden temperature changes and air currents that may result in unstable weight readings.
• Insure that the scale has good, clean AC power and is properly grounded. In areas subject to lightning strikes, additional protection to minimize lightning damage, such as surge suppressors, should be installed.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. DO NOT submerge the scale in water, pour or spray water directly on it.
2. DO NOT use acetone, thinner or other volatile solvents for cleaning.
3. DO clean the indicator with a damp soft cloth and mild non-abrasive detergent.
4. DO remove power before cleaning with a damp cloth.
5. DO clean and store the scale in a plastic bag (in a dry environment) if the scale is not going to be used for some time. A desiccant packet may be included to prevent moisture build up.
6. DO recharge the internal battery every three months while in storage.

KEY FUNCTIONS

This section describes the use of each of the keys on the C Series Digital Counting Scale. It will be helpful to refer to the scale keyboard or the figure below when reading this section.

The membrane keyboard is not to be operated with pointed objects (pencils, pens, fingernails, etc). Damage to keyboard resulting from this practice will NOT be covered under warranty.

SAMPLE SIZE

This key is used to weigh a known number of pieces in preparation for a new counting operation. Sample quantities are entered using the numeric keypad in any quantity desired.

SAMPLE WEIGHT

Pressing this key will display the calculated average piece weight from the current sampling and counting operation. It will also allow the manual entry of a known average piece weight (using the numeric keys) to be used in the next counting operation.

COUNT PRESET

This key is used when setting the Quantity and Weight Preset limits. During a counting operation (with the limits set) if the quantity or weight exceeds the limits, the error beeper will sound and an error message will flash on the display.

The MC key is used to clear the accumulator. The M+ and ADD annunciators will turn off to indicate the clearing has taken place.

Pressing the M+ key will cause the scale to display the contents of the accumulator (the number of pieces accumulated since the last time the accumulator was cleared).

The M+ key is also used to add the current piece count value to the accumulator. The M+ annunciator will be selected to indicate the accumulation has taken place.

KEY FUNCTIONS, CONT.

The PGM key is used to add or edit product look up (PLU) numbers. Up to 99 PLU numbers can be programmed. Note that the first 9 PLU's are assigned to the P1-9 keys and that all PLU's can be selected using the numeric keys.

Pressing the P# key will cause the scale to recall the average piece weight along with the saved tare weight (if a tare weight was programmed) associated with the product look up (PLU) number.

P1 Pressing these keys will cause the scale to recall the average piece weight to along with the saved tare weight (if a tare weight was programmed) associated with the product look up (PLU) number assigned to the key.

The C / √ key is used to perform different functions depending on the current mode of operation:

- Data Entry: The C / √ key is used to clear an incorrect entry from the display without processing the data. If an incorrect entry is made, press the C / √ key and re-enter the correct data.

- Pressing and holding the C / - key for 3 seconds will toggle the display backlight on and off.

0< The ZERO key is used to perform a variety of functions depending on the ZERO current mode of operation:

Weight Display Mode (lb or kg annunciator on): Pressing the ZERO key will set the weight display to zero and turn on the ZERO annunciator if the displayed weight is within ± 4% of scale capacity.

T< The TARE key is used to display the current tare weight (or zero if no tare has been entered) and/or using the numeric keypad, to enter a new tare weight. It is also used when entering a tare under a Preset number.

UNITS Pressing this key will toggle the weighing units between pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg). The currently selected weighing unit is indicated by illuminating either the lb or kg annunciator.

These keys are used to enter numeric data during normal operations as well as 0 \~ 9 during calibration and operational setup.

This is the decimal point key. It is used to enter a decimal point where required when entering numeric data.

Enter ← The Enter/←key is used to signal completion of the entry of data and causes the scale to process the data entered.

ANNUNCIATORS

lb

The lb annunciator is illuminated to show that the weight displayed is in pounds. The UNITS key may be used to select pounds as the weighing units.

kg

The kg annunciator is illuminated to show that the weight displayed is in kilograms. The UNITS key may be used to select kilogram as the weighing units.

NET

The NET annunciator is illuminated to show that the weight displayed is the net weight. Net weight is determined by subtracting the stored tare weight from the gross or scale weight. The tare weight, usually the weight of the container, is entered using the tare key. Note that the NET annunciator is only active when a zero tare weight or tare weight value is stored and the display is in the weight mode as shown by the illumination of the lb or kg annunciator.

ZERO (Center-of-Zero)

The Center-of-Zero annunciator is located on the left of the display and is illuminated to indicate that the weight is within +/- 1/4 division of the center of zero.

Insuf Sample

The Insuf Sample annunciator is located on the lower left of the display and is illuminated to show that the sample is too small to calculate an accurate piece weight. If the counting function is continued without increasing the sample size, the scale will still operate even though accuracy will be affected.

(Stable)

The (Stable) annunciator is located at the bottom left of the display and is illuminated when the WEIGHT display is stable.

ADD

The ADD annunciator is located at the bottom right of the display and is illuminated when the scale is in the accumulator mode (M+).

M+

The M+ annunciator is located on the lower right of the display and is illuminated to show that the display is in the Accumulator mode and that the value displayed is the current contents of the accumulator. Individual counts are adjusted via the (M+) and (MC) keys or optionally, any count may be entered using the numeric keypad. Note that when both the M+ and ADD annunciators are illuminated, the current count has been added to the accumulator.

(Low Battery)

The Low Battery annunciator will illuminate to indicate that the internal battery requires charging. No change in operation will occur until just before the battery voltage drops to a level where operation is affected. At this level, the scale will automatically turn itself off. NOTE!

RECHARGEABLE LEAD-ACID BATTERY

Battery Charging

The scale can charge the battery (lead-acid rechargeable battery, 6v/4Ah). Just connect the scale to the external power supply to charge it. The battery will be charged regardless if the scale is on or off. It takes approximately 12 hours to charge the battery to full capacity depending on the voltage of the battery. If the battery has been-discharged, a prolonged charging time is required to bring the battery back to full capacity.

Red light: The battery is charging.

Green light: The battery is fully charged.

Low Battery

When the battery voltage falls below 5.7v, the low battery annunciator will be turned on. The battery must be recharged. Continued use (approximately 15 minutes later), the display will show Lo bRE in the weight field. If the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the scale will automatically shut off and you will be unable to turn it back on. When the low battery indicator is displayed, the operator should plug the power supply into the scale and then into the proper electrical wall outlet. The scale will begin charging the battery.

Notice

The battery should be recharged at least every 5 months regardless if it is used or not. After a long time storage, e.g. over 3 months, it is desired to cycle (charge/discharge) the battery 3 times to let it restore to full capacity.

When replacing the battery, pay much attention to the poles. The positive (+) terminal must be connected to the red connector and the negative (-) terminal must be connected to the black connector. If connected wrongly, the battery will be damaged.

NOTE: The battery cover can be removed by loosening a single captive screw. This screw remains attached to the cover which prevents it from falling out of the cover or being dropped and lost.

The capacity of the batteries will reduce over the years and therefore also the total operation time of the scale. This is not an error of the scale, but it is normal behavior or rechargeable batteries.

ERROR AND STATUS MESSAGES

The Cardinal C Series Digital Counting Scale is equipped with a diagnostic software program that tests various portions of the scale's circuitry and verifies proper operation. Should a problem be detected, an error or status message will be displayed alerting the operator to that condition. The following lists these error messages and their description.
