SETTING UP AND TURNING ON THE SCALES
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. The WBW series are similar to the WBWa series except the WBW scales are
usually set for metric units, whereas for the WBWa series are usually set for imperial units.
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. Press the
[O/I]
key to start. The software revision number
will be displayed followed by a self-test showing all digits before the zero is displayed along with the unit of
weight that was selected last.
NOTE:
the scale 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 for 12
hours for full capacity.

ZEROING
You can press the

measured. The scales have an automatic re-zeroing
function to account for minor drifting or accumulation of
material on a connected platform. However you may
need to press

of weight is still shown when the platform is empty.

TARING
Zero the scale by pressing
[Zero]
. The zero indicator will be on. Place a container on the pan.
Press
[Tare]
when the reading is stable. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value, leaving
zero on the display. The stable and
Net
indicator will be on.
As a sample is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if
another type of product was added to the first one.
