1.0 INTRODUCTION
 The Cruiser Checkweighing series provides fast and accurate checkweighing
functionality.
 There are 4 types of scale in the CKT series:
1. CKT: Standard models
2. CKT-M: Trade approved models
3. CKT-UH: High resolution models
 Cruiser checkweighing scales can weigh in pound (USA models only), gram or
kilogram weighing units.
 The scales have stainless steel weighing platforms on an ABS base assembly.
 All scales are supplied with an RS-232 bi-directional interface and real time clock.
 The scales have a overlay with colour coded PCB switches and a large, easy to read
liquid crystal type display (LCD) with backlight.
The scales include automatic zero tracking, LED checkweighing lights with
selectable Hi/Low limits, automatic tare, an accumulation facility that allows the
count to be stored and recalled as an accumulated total.

3.0 OPERATION
3.1 SETTING UP AND TURN ON THE SCALE
Follow this set up when using the scale for first time:
1) Place the platform in the locating holes on the top cover.
2) Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. Ensure the bubble in the spirit
level is in the centre of the level and the scale is supported by all four
feet.
3) Attach the power cable to the connector located on the base to the left
of the scale.
4) Plug the power cable into the mains.
5) Press the power button located on scale keypad.
6) The scale will then display the software revision and run a self-test.
7) Once the self-test has been completed and a stable condition achieved,
the scale will display zero weight alongside stable and zero symbol
indicators.
4.0 INTERNAL COMPONENTS
4.1 OPENING THE SCALE
The scale can be opened by unscrewing the 5 designated points located beneath the scale:
 2 next to the battery
 2 at the front of the scale
 1 in the centre next to the recharge board.

 Then unscrew the 2 central screws holding the load cell in place.
 Lift the metal frame to expose the load cell.
 Detach load cell from the scale.
 Once removed, replace this with the new load cell.
 Place the metal frame onto the new load cell carefully ensuring that the screw
positions line up.
 Screw in the 2 central screw points to hold the load cell in place, then carefully
screw in the 4 exterior screw points.
 Once secure, place the scale’s exterior casing back onto the scale base and screw
to close.
6.0 REPLACING THE DISPLAY
To replace the display, ensure that you have switched off the power, then follow these steps:
 Remove the scale’s exterior casing
 Disconnect all exterior wires and power cables leading to the PCB display.
 Lift the display from the pegs located in the corners of the display
 Once detached, attach the new display to the pegs then connect the previously
detached wires to the new display unit. Screw in to secure.

 Before configuration is completed, hold down the [Tare] ↵ key to bring up the user
information screen with username and password.
 Entering the correct password will bring you to the setup menu.
 Once in the setting menu, use the directional keys [1] and [6] to scroll through the
menu until “L – Cal” appears on the display and press the [Tare] ↵ key.
 The “no load” option will appear on the display. Pressing the [Tare] ↵ key again
will take you to the load weight screen to set the calibration.
 On this screen you can manually add a weight by using the numeric keys and
pressing tare to save or by placing a calibration weight onto the weighing pan and
confirming the weight with the [Tare] ↵ key.
 You will need to ensure that the weight value displayed matches that of the
calibration weight for reliable weighing results.
