METER CONNECTIONS

To connect power via AC wall adapter cable to the CSW-15AT meter. First make sure the

On/Off switch on the rear of the meter is in the off position. Connect the wall adapter to your

110VAC outlet. Next, connect the other end of the cable to the connector on the rear of the indicator.

1.0 OPERATION

1.1 Key Functions:

ZERO Brings the scale to a zero balance reading. If the ZERO key

GRS/NET is pressed and held for 5 seconds the Calibration zero value will be displayed.

Toggles the display between Gross weight and Net weight.

This key is also used to enter Setup & Calibration Mode.

To enter, press and hold this key until the Parameter ( P xxx )

Event counter is displayed, then release. Immediately after

CodE is displayed, enter in sequence (within 5 seconds) TARE lb/kg , GRS/NET , and PRINT/ENTER . The display will indicate ScAlE and you are now in Setup & Calibration mode.

,

Note: P xxx and C xxx are event counters that will increment each time one or more changes are made to the Scale or Calibration Parameters.

TARE Enters the Gross weight value into the Tare display and switches

to the net display mode. If the TARE key is pressed and held for 5

seconds the current Tare value will be displayed.

Lb/kg Toggles the display between pounds and kilograms.

BAtLo

The scale is in an overload condition.

Will flash when the battery voltage falls to 10.8VDC and will be displayed constantly when the voltage falls to 10.2VDC.

Err d More than 5000 scale divisions have been selected in S1 Ntep or S1

Angle mode. More than 20,000 scale divisions have been selected in

S1 No Mode.

1.3 Numeric Entries:

Once you have entered Setup and Calibration mode, (as described on the previous page) some entries may require entering a numeric value.

To enter a numeric value:

1. Press and release the lb/kg key to move into the desired menu field.

2. Press and release the ZERO key, the first digit will begin to flash.

3. Use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the value of this digit until you reach the desired value.

4. Press the TARE key to move to the next digit and repeat step 3.

When you are satisfied with the value of each digit press the PRINT/ENTER key to save your entry and return to the menu.

1.4 Setup Parameters:

To begin press and hold this key until the Parameter ( P xxx ) Event counter is displayed, then release. Immediately after CodE is displayed, enter in sequence (within 5 seconds) TARE , lb/kg , GRS/NET , and PRINT/ENTER . The display will indicate ScAlE and you are now in Setup

& Calibration mode.

Note: P xxx and C xxx are event counters that will increment each time one or more

Changes are made to the scale Scale or Calibration Parameters.

With the display indicating ScAlE , press the GRS/NET key to move down to change a parameter. This allows the operator to change any one of the Scale Parameters S1 thru S18. For example, press the GRS/NET key to move down until S2 is displayed, S2 is used to set the capacity of the scale. Press the lb/kg key to move right into the S2 parameter. The current capacity will be displayed. Press the ZERO key; the first digit will begin flashing. Enter the new capacity using the steps described in section 1.4 shown at the top of the page. Once you have the capacity entered, press the PRINT/ENTER key to enter the value and return to S2 .

The same steps can be followed to enter the count by. Press the GRS/NET key to move down until S3 is displayed. Press the lb/kg key to move right into the S3 parameter. The current

Count By will be displayed. Use the up and down arrow keys to increase or decrease the value.

Use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the decimal point. When the desired Count By is entered, press the PRINT/ENTER key to enter the value and return to S3 .

3.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

3.1 Calibration Menu Definitions:

C1 Zero All Raw counts, (Pitch and Roll if in angle mode) will be

displayed. When ZERO is pressed an analog zero is done

and all calibration span points will be cleared.

If the indicator is in angle mode the Pitch and Roll offsets

will also be Zeroed.

C2 Zero Zeroed raw counts, (Pitch and Roll if in angle mode) will be

displayed. When ZERO is pressed an analog zero is done

and all calibration span points will NOT be cleared.

If the indicator is in angle mode the Pitch and Roll offsets will be Zeroed.

C3 Span Point The last Calibration weight will be displayed then the actual

weight on the scale will be displayed.

If you do not wish to change the span point, press the TARE

key to exit without making any changes .

If the displayed weight does not match the known test

weight, use the numeric keypad to enter the correct weight.

Press the PRINT/ENTER key to save and exit. The display

will return to C3.

C4-C7 Span Points C4 to C7 are for linearity correction. They can be used in

order and in any quantity or not at all if no correction is

necessary.

C4 to C7 may be entered at any time without affecting the

Original calibration points.

The last calibration weight will be displayed then the actual

weight on the scale will be displayed. If no calibration weight has been entered at this span point “ notset ” will be

displayed then the actual weight on the scale is displayed.

If the displayed weight does not match the known test

weight, follow the steps described for C3 Span Point on

adjusting the weight and entering the value.

END Exits back to the main menu

3.2 Calibration:

Press and hold the GRS/NET key, as described previously in section 1.4. ScAlE will be displayed. Press the lb/kg key to move right until CalIb is displayed. Press the

GRS/NET key to move down, C1 will be displayed. Press the lb/kg key to move right,

The raw counts will be displayed. With no weight on the scale and the scale level, press the ZERO key, “0” will be displayed. Press the PRINT/ENTER key to save the

Entry. “0” is now entered and the display will return to C1 .

Note: With the scale completely level use C1 or C2 to zero the angles. There is

No need to use both C1 and C2.

C1 will establish zero and clear all span points

C2 will establish zero without clearing all span points

Press the GRS/NET key to move down until C3 is displayed. Press the lb/kg key to enter. The last calibrated weight will flash then the current weight on the scale is displayed. Place a known test weight on the scale, with the scale level. Using the steps described in section 1.4, for a numeric entry, enter the actual weight and press the

PRINT/ENTER key to save and exit. The display will return to C3 .

3.3 Linearity Correction:

If Linearity Correction is needed, press the GRS/NET key (from the Calibration menu) to move down until C4 is displayed. Press the lb/kg key to move right, the last calibrated weight will flash or “ notset ” will flash if this point has not been previously set.

Next, the current weight on the scale will be displayed. Place a different known test weight

(not the same test weight that was used for C3 ) on the scale. Using the steps described in section 1.3, for a numeric entry, enter the actual weight and press the PRINT/ENTER key to save and exit. The display will return to C4 . Repeat these steps for C5 , C6 and C7 .

Linearity Correction points ( C4-C7 ) can be used in any order and in any quantity or not at all if no correction is necessary. After calibration is complete you may return to these correction points and make changes to its value without affecting any of the original calibration points.
