4.0 CFW 

DESCRIPTION 

 

The CFW scales have an enclosure with all components mounted within 
it.  To gain access to the components remove the 6 screws securing the 
cover to the base. 
 
The basic unit includes: 
 
 Load 

cell 

Pan 

 

Load Cell frame 

 

Transformer / External adapter 

 

Main PCB assembly with display 

 Battery 
 Keypad 

 

 
All models of CFW are similar except the selection of load cells and the 
program. 
 
The main circuit board is similar to that used in the CFC scales.  
Normally if a problem is found with a circuit board the most cost effective 
method of solving the problem is to replace the circuit board. 
 
The main PCB assembly includes:  
 

Sections for load cell input filter 
A/D converter (AU1),   
Microprocessor and support circuits (U1, U4) 
Power supply / battery charger circuits (U5, T2)
