1.0 INTRODUCTION  
The CFW series of scales provide an accurate, fast, versatile series of  
general purpose weighing scales with counting and check-weighing  
functions.  
There are 2 series of scales- CFW scales are kilogram only scales and  
the CFWa scales offer changeable unit from pounds to kilograms. The  
scales share the same functions but special instructions will be given  
for the CFWa series to be able to change the weighing units.  
There are 4 models in each series with the maximum capacities up to  
600 kg /1320 lb.  
They all have stainless steel weighing  
platforms on a Steel base assembly and  
a display module mounted on a pillar  
attached to the base.  
All the keypads are sealed and have  
colour coded membrane switches.  
The displays are large easy to read liquid  
crystal type displays (LCD). The LCD’s  
are supplied with a backlight.  
All units include automatic zero tracking, audible alarm for pre-set  
weights, automatic tare and an accumulation facility that allows the  
individual weights to be stored and recalled as an accumulated total.  
The scales have an optional bi-directional RS-232 interface for  
communicating with a PC or printer.

6.0 OPERATION  
6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY  
You can press the [Zero/Enter] key at any time to set the zero point.  
This will usually be necessary when the platform is empty. When the  
zero point is obtained the display will show an indicator for zero.  
The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor  
drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you  
may need to press the [Zero/Enter] key to rezero the scale if small  
amounts of weight are shown when the platform is empty.  
6.2 TARING  
Zero the scale by pressing the [Zero/Enter] key if necessary. The  
ZEROindicator will be ON.  
Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be  
displayed.  
Press the [Tare/Ï] key to tare the scale. The weight that was  
displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted  
from the display, leaving zero on the display. The "GROSS" indicator  
will be OFF and "TARE" indicator will be ON. As a product is added  
only the net weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be  
@Adam Equipment Company 2006  
10  
 
 
tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to  
the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be  
displayed.  
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 that was removed.  
The “ZEROindicator will be on to indicate that the platform is back  
to the same condition as it was when the [Zero/Enter] key was last  
pressed.  
To delete a Tare value, press [Tare/Ï] when the pan is empty.  
6.3 WEIGHING A SAMPLE  
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be  
used and then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net  
weight of the sample and the units of weight currently in use.  
6.4 PARTS COUNTING  
Before starting, tare the weight of any container that may be used,  
leaving the empty container on the scale. Place a known number of  
samples in the container, if used. The number should match the  
options for parts counting, i.e., 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.  
When the scale is showing weight, pressing the [Pcs] key will start  
the parts counting function.  
The scale will show "P 10" asking for a sample size of 10 parts.  
Change the sample size to the desired quantity by pressing the  
[Tare/Ï] key. It will cycle through the options: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200  
and back to 10.  
@Adam Equipment Company 2006  
11  
 
 
Press the [Zero/Enter] key again when the number matches the  
number of parts used as the sample. As more weight is added the  
display will show the number of parts (pcs).  
Pressing the [Pcs] key will display the unit weight (g/pcs), pressing it  
second time will display the net weight (pcs and kg) and the third  
time, it will be the count again (pcs).  
Press the [Func/C] key to return to normal weighing or to start  
counting a different sample.  
@Adam Equipment Company 2006

6.5 CHECK-WEIGHING  
Check-weighing is a procedure to cause an alarm to sound when the weight on  
the scale meets or exceeds values stored in memory. The memory holds  
values for a high and a low limit. Either or both can be used.  
See PARAMETERS Section for the procedure. To set the limits, "F0 H-L" is used.  
After limits have been set the Check-weighing function is enabled.  
When a weight is placed on the scale the arrows will show if the weight is above  
or below the limits and the beeper will sound as described below.  
BOTH LIMITS SET  
LOW LIMIT SET  
The display will show OK and the beeper will sound when the  
weight is between the limits.  
HIGH LIMIT is set to zero  
The display will show OK and the beeper will sound when the  
weight is less than the Low Limit. Above the Low Limit the  
display will show HIGH and the beeper will be off.  
HIGH LIMIT SET  
LOW LIMIT is set to zero  
The display will show LOW and the beeper will be off when the  
weight is less than the High Limit. Above the High Limit the  
display will show OK and the beeper will be on.  
BOTH LIMITS SET.  
The beeper will never sound and the display will show LOW if  
LOW IS SET GREATER the weight is less that the LOW limit, and HIGH if the weight is  
THAN HIGH greater than the Low Limit.  
NOTE: Weight must be more than 20 scale divisions for checkweighing to  
operate.  
@Adam Equipment Company 2006

Checkweighing during Parts Counting  
To disable the Check-Weighing function enter zero into both limits by pressing  
the [Func/C] key when the current limits are shown then pressing [Zero/Enter]  
to store the zero values.  
6.5 ACCUMULATED TOTAL  
The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing the  
[Print/M+] key. See the PARAMETER Section for details of setting  
the Parameter "F5 PRT". The accumulation function is only available  
when weighing. It is disabled during parts counting.  
The weight displayed will be stored in memory when the [Print/M+]  
key is pressed and the weight is stable.  
The display will show "ACC 1" and then the total in memory for 2  
seconds before returning to weighing. If the optional RS-232  
interface is installed the weight can be output to a printer or PC.

7.0 USER PARAMETERS  
The scale has 7 User Parameters that can be set by the user. To set  
these Parameters press the [Func] key. The display will show the  
first parameter, "F0 H-L".  
Pressing the [Tare/Ï] will cycle through the other parameters.  
Pressing [Zero/Enter] will allow you to enter a parameter directly for  
setting or further enter a sub-parameter. Press the [Print/Esc] key to  
leave the parameter unchanged.  
For setting a new value for the parameter or a sub-parameter, first  
enter the parameter or sub-parameter by pressing the [Zero/Enter]  
key. Then use the [Pcs/Í] key or the [Units/Î ] key to move the  
active/flashing digit to the left or to the right and use the [Tare/Ï]  
key to increment the flashing digit. Press the [Zero/Enter] key to  
enter the changed value.  
Use the [Print/Esc] key to leave the parameter.  
For example,  
When the display shows “F0 H-L”, press the [Zero/Enter] key.  
The display will show “SEt Lo” (the sub-parameter). Press  
[Zero/Enter] to set the low limit or press the [Tare/Ï ] to skip to “SEt  
Hi” for setting the high limit. When all digits have been set, press  
[Zero/Enter] to store the value. Display will go back to the sub-  
parameter just set, i.e. “SEt Lo” or “SEt Hi”.  
Press [Print/Esc] to return to “FO H-L”.  
Advance to the next parameter (F1 toL) by pressing [Tare/Ï] if  
needed or press [Print/Esc] to return to weighing.

8.0 BATTERY OPERATION  
The scales can be operated from the battery if desired. The battery life  
is approximately 70 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 the adaptor into the mains power.  
The scale does not need to be turned on.  
The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full capacity.  
Just under the display is an 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 has a full  
charge. If it is Red the battery is nearly discharged and yellow  
indicates the battery is being charged.

10.0 CALIBRATION  
The scale can be calibrated using the following procedure. For a more detailed  
method of calibrating the scale, it will be necessary to enter the secure  
Programming Menu. Refer to the CFW Service Manual for more information.  
The CFW scales calibrate using either metric or pound weights, depending on  
the weighing unit in use before calibration. The display will show either "kg" or  
"lb" to identify the weights expected.  
CFWa Scales only:  
CFWa scales will also have the lb, oz, lb-oz or kg (or g) indicator on to show the unit of the  
weight requested. If the scale was in pounds before starting the calibration, the weights  
requested will be in pound values. If the scale was weighing in kilograms then metric weights  
will be requested.  
PROCEDURE  
Turn the power off.  
Turn the power back on, during the counting from 1 to 0, press [Func/C].  
The display will show "CAL ". While it is showing "CAL " press the [Unit],  
[Print] and [Tare] keys in sequence to enter the Calibration section. The  
display will show "unLoAd".  
Remove any weight from platform when stable and press [Zero/Enter].  
The display will show the last calibration weight used. If this is correct you  
can continue by pressing [Zero/Enter]. If it is not correct use the arrow  
keys to change the calibration weight value. When it is correct press  
[Zero/Enter].  
The display will show "LoAd". Place the calibration weight on the scale.  
Press the [Zero/Enter] key.  
If the calibration is acceptable the scale will run a self-test during which the  
calibration weight should be removed. If an error message “FAiL L” is  
shown try calibration again as a disturbance may have prevented a  
successful calibration.  
After calibration the scale should be checked for whether the calibration and  
linearity is correct. If necessary repeat calibration, make sure that the scale is  
stable before accepting any weight.

the scale will not be affected by new zero  
if it is set within 10%. If it is set to a higher  
value, the scale may zero but the range  
may be limited by load cell, A/D converter  
or mechanical stops within the base.  
Sets the display update speed.  
(Options: 7.5, 15, 30 or 60).

The P2 CAL sub-parameter has the basic functions used by the scale to set the  
capacity, decimal point position, increment size as well as the calibration  
procedures. Do not change the weighing functions as the scales may not  
perform as specified. Either the capacity will be wrong, the decimal point will be  
in the wrong position or the scale will increment with values that are not as  
specified for the scales.

Sets the scale capacity. The maximum value  
for the scale is as specified for the scale. For  
example 60kg.

Starts the calibration procedure. See the  
details of calibration procedure in section 10.  
CAL  
The sub-parameter “P3 Pro” is used to view the calibration constant used by the  
scale, view the A/D counts and set the scale back to default settings. This is  
useful if it is not possible to have a good calibration of a scale. It will show the  
load cell is causing the A/D to increment correctly through the complete range of  
weights needed and you can recall the default settings for the scale. The “trl”  
value can be modified to cause the scale calibration to change to a known  
amount without the need for putting weights on the scale.  
Display will show a value that corresponds to  
P3 Pro  
trl  
the load cell calibration.  
If the value is  
increased the scale calibration will be  
decreased a similar percentage.  
Display will show the counts from the A/D  
CoUnt  
converter.  
The displayed count should  
increase as the weight is added to the load  
cell up to and exceeding the capacity of scale.  
Typical range for these counts are:  
No load 20,000  
Maximum 120,000  
Scale will reset to factory default settings.  
Press [Zero/Enter] to continue or [Print/Esc]  
to abort.  
rESEt  
Once the value is set, press [Print/Esc] to return to the sub-parameter.  
Pressing [Print/Esc] again will return the scale to normal weighing.
