Adam Equipment strives to be more environmentally focused and uses recycled materials and environmentally
friendly packaging where possible. As part of this initiative we have developed a short manual that uses less
paper and ink to describe the main functions of your new Adam indicator/scale. A complete version is available
at www.adamequipment.com. Thank you for your support of Adam Equipment and we hope that you enjoy
your new scale.

1.0 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.
2.0 OPERATION
2.1 NUMERIC ENTRY METHOD
To set a value when required, use the keys as given below-
- [Limit] key to increase the flashing digit
- [Unit] key to move to the next digit and
- [Tare] key to accept the value
2.2 ZEROING
You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point from which all other weighing and counting is 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 [Zero] to re-zero the
scale if small amount of weight is still shown when the platform is
empty.
2.3 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.
Press [Tare] or [Zero] to remove the tare value and display zero. The Net indicator will disappear.

EN

2.4 WEIGHING
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container if used, then place the sample in the container.
The display will show the weight and the unit of weight currently in use. To change the weighing unit press the [Unit]
key.
2.5 CHECK-WEIGHING
Check-weighing is a procedure to show a display or sound an alarm when the weight on the platform meets or
exceeds the values stored in the memory. The memory holds values for a high limit and a low limit. Either or both
the limits can be set by the user.
The LCD display will indicate whenever the weight is within or exceeds the limits by showing “OK” (mass is between
the limits), “HI”(mass is above the high limit) or “LO”( mass is below the low limit).
The limits can be locked by the manager (see the menu structure section) .A Limit Password must be used to change
the limits or recall other limits from memory.
Setting up the limits
In normal weighing, Press the [Limit] key. It will show the current high limit.The user will be asked for the password
if the current check-weighing password is anything other than “0000”. See the parameter “F4 PS” in menu structure.
Enter the correct password using the numeric entry method as mentioned in section 2.1. If the password is “0000”
it will display the last used high limit. The “HI” symbol will appear on the display.
Press [Tare] to accept the displayed high limit or enter the new high limit using the numeric entrymethod (see section
2.1). When the desired value is entered press [Tare] to accept the value. The “LO” symbol will be on. Display will
show the last used low limit. Set the low limit in the same way the high limit was set.
Pressing the [Tare] key will return the scale to weighing, with the Check-weighing function enabled.
NOTE: The limits are displayed in the weighing unit in use. The decimal point is fixed at the position that is used for
the current weighing unit. If the weighing unit is pounds:ounces, the limits are entered in pounds and decimal parts
of pounds. i.e. 6.0125 lb.
Limits stored in memory
If the scale is turned off, it stores the last high and low limits in the memory along with information about the
weighing unit in use when the limits were stored. If the scale is turned on again, the limits and the weighing
unit will still be active.

3.0 RS-232 SPECIFICATION
The RS-232 is not available in WBW scales.
4.0 CALIBRATION
The WBW-M scales should not be calibrated by the user. Calibration of the scales may make it illegal to use the
scales. Contact your local metrology standards office for further assistance.
The WBW non-approved scales are calibrated using metric weights when the weighing unit selected is either
kilograms or grams and using pound masses when the weighing unit selected is either pounds, ounces or
pounds:ounces.
To start the calibration turn the scale off and then turn it on again. Press [Tare] during the self-test. Scale will show
“P- - - - “. Enter code number “0000” using the numeric entry method (see section2.1) and press [Tare]. This will take
you directly to the calibration section.Display will show "UnLoAd".
Remove all weight from the pan and then press the [Tare] key when the scale is stable. After the Zero point is set,
the display will show “Ld xx”. Place the suggested calibration mass on the pan. It is best to use a weight close to the
full capacity of the scale. If the mass is different from the displayed value, enter the value of the mass in whole
numbers using the numeric entry method (see section 2.1). The kg or the lb symbol will be on to show the active unit.
Press the [Tare] key when the stable indicator is on. The scale will calibrate to the mass and then return to weighing.
Remove the calibration weight as soon as calibration is complete.

5.0 ERROR CODES
During the initial power-on testing or during operation, the scale may show an error message. The meaning of the
error messages is described below.
If an error message is shown, repeat the step that caused the message. If the error message is still shown then
contact your dealer for support.

précisions différentes des séries WBW.
•La série WBW est similaire à la série WBWa sauf que les balances
WBW sont habituellement réglées avec les unités métriques tandis
que la série WBWa est habituellement réglée pour les unités
impériales. Cependant, l’utilisateur peut changer le réglage comme
expliqué en section 13.2.
•Toutes les balances possèdent un plateau en acier inoxydable sur
une base en plastique ABS d’une protection IP 65, les rendant
totalement étanches.

ATTENTION: Les balances WBW-M ne doivent pas être calibrées par
l’utilisateur. Le calibrage des balances peut rendre l’utilisation des balances
illégale. Les balances sont scellées pour empêcher les accès non autorisés
aux circuits internes de la balance. Toutes modifications faites sur les
mécanismes à l’intérieure en cassant le plomb de sécurité peuvent rendre
l’utilisation de la balance illégale. Si les scellements sont cassés ou altérés, la
balance aura besoin d’être re-vérifiée par un organisme légalement certifié et
re-scellée, avant d’être utilisé légalement. Contactez le bureau local de
métrologie légal pour de plus amples informations.
