Model CS Crane Scale

User Instructions

1.0 General Information

Thank you for purchasing the Model CS crane scale. Please read all operating

instructions carefully before using and note the following safety items:

• Do not overload the scale. This will damage the loadcell and void the

warranty.

• Do not leave weights hanging from the scale for long periods. This could

decrease the accuracy of the scale and shorten the life of the loadcell.

• Inspect the shackle and hook regularly.

• Check the battery visually periodically and recharge as needed.

• To maximize battery life, charge it periodically, with the included charger,

when not in use for long periods of time

• Do not attempt to repair the scale if you have a problem. Contact your

local Salter Brecknell representative.

2.0 Battery and Recharging

To save battery power, the unit will enter a low power mode after a few minutes

of stable weight reading. During low power mode, the display will show a

flashing segment in the right most part of the display.

If there is no scale activity within 60 minutes, the scale shuts off completely.

When you first receive your scale, plug the AC adapter into a properly

grounded 120VAC outlet and plug the charging jack into the receptacle at the

top of the scale on the back panel. The red light should come on next to the

receptacle to show that charging is taking place. When the light turns green the

battery is fully charged.

Battery life should be at least eight hours after charging.

3.0 Key Functions and Annunciators

The Model CS has keys on the front panel and a remote control with keys for

more functions. In this manual, instructions that include key names will refer to

front panel keys unless RC precedes the key name. That will mean the key

being referred to is the remote control key of that name.

Figure 1.1 shows the front panel of the scale.

TARE This lights when a tare is active. Net weight is displayed

when this annunciator is lit.

4.0 Scale Operation

1. Turn the scale on using the ON/OFF key on the front panel…

The unit will beep and the display will do a startup test, show the

capacity, the battery voltage and then display 0.0 weight.

2. Apply the load to the hook at the bottom of the scale…

The weight is displayed.

3. Remove the weight…

0.0 is displayed.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to weigh the next object.

Performing a Tare Weighment

1. With the scale on and showing 0.0 weight, hang the load to be tared from

the hook…

The gross weight is displayed.

2. Press the TARE or RC TARE key…

The TARE annunciator lights and 0.0 is displayed.

3. Apply the load to be weighed on the hook…

The net weight is displayed.

4. Remove the net load and repeat step 3 to weigh the next object.

5. To cancel a tare, remove all weight from the scale and press the TARE

or RC TARE key…

The TARE annunciator turns off and the display shows 0.0 weight.

Entering a Known Tare Weight With the Remote Control

You can key in a tare weight before placing an item on the scale by using the

remote control. Follow these steps:

1. With the scale on and showing 0.0 weight, press the RC MR key…

SHIFt is displayed.

2. Press the RC TARE key…

0000.0 is displayed with the left digit flashing. This is a prompt for you

to enter a known tare weight.

3. Press the RC TARE key to move the flashing digit to the right. Press the

RC M+ key to move the flashing digit to the left. When the digit you want

to change is flashing, press the RC 0 key…

The digit will increment each time you press the RC 0 key.

4. Repeat step 3 until you’ve finished entering the known tare value. Press

the RC MR key to accept this value and return to net weighing mode…

The TARE annunciator lights and the value you entered is displayed

as a negative number.

5. Hang the container, of the known tare weight you’ve entered, from the

hook…

0.0 is displayed.

6. Place the load to be weighed into the container…

The net weight is displayed.

7. To cancel the tare, press the TARE or RC TARE key. Repeat the

process as needed.

Using the HOLD Function

To hold a weight display after the load is removed, use the Hold function

described below.

1. With the scale on and showing 0.0 weight, hang the load from the hook…

The gross weight is displayed.

2. Press the RC HOLD key…

The scale beeps, the HOLD annunciator lights and the gross weight

is still displayed.

3. Remove the load from the hook…

The display remains unchanged. The weight will remain on the

display until you press the RC HOLD key again.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to perform another hold weighment.

Performing, Viewing and Clearing Weight Accumulation

You can accumulate displayed weight to a memory channel. The minimum

weight that can be accumluated each time is 10 lb / 4 kg. Err 10 will be

displayed if you try to accumulate a weight less than the minimum.

You can view the accumlation data by using the remote control. You can see

the last accumulated weight, the number of weighments accumulated and the

total weight accumlated.

Remember, a new weight cannot be added to the accumulation memory

until the previous weight has been removed from the scale and the

display has dropped to 0.

1. With the scale on and showing 0.0 weight, hang a load greater than the

minimum (10 lb / 4 kg) from the hook…

The gross weight is displayed.

2. To accumulate the weight, press the RC M+ key…

As the weight is accumlated to memory the scale beeps, no 001 is

displayed, then HXXXX is displayed briefly then LXXX.X is displayed.

These displays repeat and then the scale returns to normal weighing

mode with the current weight displayed.

no 001 is the number of accumulations done so far.

The HXXXX is the first four digits of the accumulated weight. LXXX.X

is the last four digits of the accumulated weight. For example, if you

had accumulated 615.5 lbs, the display would show H0000 then

L615.5.

3. Remove the weight from the scale and repeat steps 2 and 3 for each

weighment you want to accumulate.

To View the Accumlated Weight Information

Once you’ve accumlated weight to memory you can view the information by

following these steps:

1. With weight accumulated, press the RC MR key…

SHIFt is displayed.

2. Press the RC M+ key…

The display will continuously cycle through the following information:

The number of accumulated weighments.

The last accumulated weight.

The first four digits of the accumulated weight.

The last four digits of the accumulated weight.

3. Press the RC MR key to cancel the cycling of information and the scale

returns to normal weighing mode.

Clearing the Accumulator

1. To clear accumulated weight from the scale, press the RC CLEAR key…

CLr is displayed.

2a). To exit without clearing the accumulator, press the RC CLEAR key

again.

no CLr is briefly displayed and then the scale returns to normal

weighing mode.

2b). To clear the accumulator, press the RC MR key…

CLr is briefly displayed, the accumlator is cleared and then the scale

returns to normal weighing mode.

Changing Unit of Measure

You can change the displayed weight from lb to kg by following these steps:

1. With the scale on, press the RC MR key…

SHIFt is displayed.

2. Press the RC HOLD key…

If the unit is in kg unit of measure, the display will show un=1 briefly,

the lb annunciator lights, and the scale returns to normal weighing

mode with lb as the active unit of measure.

If the unit is in lb unit of measure, the display will show un=0 briefly,

the kg annunciator lights, and the scale returns to normal weighing

mode with kg as the active unit of measure.

Check Number of Overloads

You can check the number of times that the weight applied to the scale has

exceeded the maximum limit (9 divisions over full capacity).

1. With the scale on, press the RC MR key…

SHIFt is displayed.

2. Press the CLEAR key…

OL=XX is displayed. XX being the number of times the scale has

been overloaded.

Viewing Battery Voltage

To see the current battery voltage level, follow these steps:

1. With the scale on, press the RC MR key…

SHIFt is displayed.

2. Press the RC F1 key…

U X.XX is displayed. This stands for the voltage.

3. Press the RC MR key again to cancel the display and return to normal

weighing mode.

Turning the Scale Off

To turn the scale off, press and hold the ON/OFF key or RC OFF key until the

unit beeps. The scale will briefly show the battery voltage and then will turn off.
