1. Compliance
1.1. Compliance with FCC Rules
Please note that this equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy.
This equipment has been tested and has been found to comply with the limits of a Class A
computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These rules are designed to
provide reasonable protection against interference when this equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. If this unit is operated in a residential area it might cause some
interference and under these circumstances the user would be required to take, at his own
expense, whatever measures are necessary to eliminate the interference.
(FCC = Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.A.)
2. Outline and Features
The HV-C/CP series are platform scales with 1/3000 resolution.
These scales have the triple weighing range function to select the weighing range. The scale
automatically switches to small interval when a light sample is weighed or large interval when a
heavy sample is weighed, depending on the sample weight (multi-interval).
The HW-300KC, HW-300KCP, HW-600KCP and HW-600KC are platform scales with
1/6000 resolution. Other HW models are platform scales with 1/10000 resolution.
Type CP scales are equipped with a built-in printer.
Type C scales use batteries or an AC adapter as a power source.
The scales use a backlit liquid crystal display to enable viewing in dim light.
Using the optional RS-232C serial interface or USB interface, data can be output to a printer.
Also, the weighing value can be output, the scale can be controlled or the setting value can be
set by a command from a personal computer.
The counting mode converts the total mass value (total weight) of articles to a count when each
article has the same mass value.
The scale has an accumulation function with a maximum of 6digits, which can accumulate up
to 999 times. (The number of times weighed and the total mass value can be stored in the
scale.)
The comparator function compares the displayed weighing value against preset limit values and
displays the result. The result can be output by a buzzer if optional HVW-04C is installed.
An optional RS-232C serial interface, USB interface or comparator relay output can be installed
up to three units into the scale.

Page 4 HV/HW-C/CP Series
The following parameters are stored in the scale even if the AC adapter or batteries are
removed or the display is turned off (standby mode).
Display mode (weighing unit)
Unit mass of counting mode
Total count and total mass value of accumulation function
Preset limit values of comparator function
Calibration data
Parameters of the function table
Multi-interval:
The minimum display is automatically switched depending on the sample weight. When
exceeding the small, medium or large ranges, the interval of display is automatically switched.
Example of an HV-60KC where weighing capacity is 60kg:
The minimum display is 0.005 kg, 0.01 kg or 0.02 kg.
Principal performance of this function:
When a light sample is weighed, the interval of display is small.
When a heavy sample is weighed, the interval of display is large.

3. Precautions
3.1. Installing the Scale
Consider the following conditions to get the most from your scale.
Install the scale where the temperature and relative humidity are stable, there is no draft and a
stable power source is available.
Install the scale on a solid and level surface.
Do not install the scale in direct sunlight.
Do not install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.
Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
Do not install the scale near equipment that produces strong magnetic fields.
Do not install the scale where there may be static electricity. When the relative humidity is lower
than 45%R.H., plastic and isolators are apt to be charged with static electricity.
The display unit is not water resistant. Use the display unit cover to avoid damage.
Do not use an unstable power source.
Remove the protective film from the weighing pan before use.
30 minutes before the scale is used, connect the power (the AC adapter or batteries) and press
the ON/OFF key to turn the display on.
The scale is designed for indoor use. If the scale is used outdoors, it may receive electrical
shock of thunder surge and suffer malfunction and damage.
3.2. Operating the Scale
Calibrate the scale before using and after moving it to another location.
Do not place anything on the weighing pan that exceeds the weighing capacity.
Do not drop anything on the weighing pan.
Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil to press the keys. Press the keys gently using
your finger.
Pressing the ZERO key before each weighing is recommended in order to prevent possible
error.
Periodically confirm that the weighing value is correct.
Replace used batteries with four new ones when the lb mark is displayed.
Batteries are type D, Mono, R20P, R20PU or LR20.

Page 6 HV/HW-C/CP Series
3.3. Storing the Scale
Do not disassemble the scale.
Do not use solvents to clean the scale. Wipe it with a dry lint-free cloth or a lint-free cloth
moistened with water and a mild detergent.
The base unit can be cleaned with gentle running tap water. Do not scratch the base unit with a
brush. Allow the unit to dry before using.
Caution
The base units of the following models are not waterproof.
HV-300KC, HV-300KCP, HV-600KC, HV-600KCP,
HW-300KC, HW-300KCP, HW-600KC, HW-600KCP
Protect the display unit from dust and water.
Remove the batteries from the display unit when the scale is not to be used for a long time.
If you leave the batteries installed, they may leak and damage the scale.

HV/HW-C/CP Series Page 7
4. Setting up and Installing the Scale
There are two ways of assembling (setting up) the HV-C/CP and HW-C/CP series.
Assemble the scale according to the method-A procedure or method-B procedure.
Models Reference

HW-60KC,HW-60KCP,HW-100KC,HW-100KCP,HW-200KC,HW-200KCP
This procedure is used to set up the above models and includes
steps that may not be necessary for some models.
Step 1 Take the base unit and pole out from the shipping
package, taking care not to pull on the load cell cable.
Step 2 Place the weighing pan on the base unit. Peel the
protective film from the weighing pan before use.
Step 3 Assemble the pole. Attach the pole to the bracket of the
base unit, taking care not to damage the load cell cable.
Insert the remainder of the load cell cable into the pole.
Affix the pole to the bracket using two hex screws.
Note With S-models, this procedure is not required because
the pole and bracket are a combined unit.
Step 4 Select a place to install the scale.
Refer to "3.1. Installing the Scale" .
Step 5 Adjust the level using the bubble spirit and four leveling
feet of the base unit. Place the pole on the floor using the
pole foot.
Step 6 Arrange the angle of the display unit. Press the caps at
the pole top from both sides and adjust the angle of the
display unit.
Step 7 Check the weighing accuracy. If the scale needs
calibration, refer to "14. Calibration".
The display unit can be adjusted in four steps vertically.
Setting the display sideways is also possible. (Make sure that
the pole is secured at the lower part of the pole using hex
screws. Do not turn the display unit at a joint for the pole.)

and adjust the angle of the display unit.
Step 5 Connecting the load cell cable.
Connect the load cell cable to the display unit.
Close the cable cover, hook the cable in hooks
and adjust cable length. Close the bracket cover.
Step 6 Assemble the base unit and pole.
Affix the pole and base unit using four hex
screws (and flat washers) so as not to damage
the load cell cable. Use the hex wrench included.
Bundle the remainder of the load cell cable using
the included cable ties.
Step 7 Place the weighing pan on the base unit.
Affix the weighing pan using four 5mm screws.
Use the Phillips screwdriver included. Peel the
protective film from the weighing pan.
