3.0 INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
The WARRIOR scales have already been adjusted to work with a platform and
have been configured for this application. The platform andindicator have been
calibrated as a pair and must be used together.
LOCATING
•
The scales should not be placed in a location that will
reduce the accuracy.
•Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct
sunlight or near air conditioning vents.
•Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be
rigid and not vibrate.
•Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large
users of electricity such as welding equipment or
large motors.
•Do not place near vibrating machinery.
•Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation.
Avoid direct contact with water. Do not spray or
immerse the scales in water.
•Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening
doors. Do not place near open windows or air-
conditioning vents.
• Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the
scales when they are not in use.

Page 5
SETTING UP THE SCALES
•Remove the Indicator from its box and fix it to the U shaped bracket
using the 2 x fixing handles. Take the Indicator and place it onto the
pillar ensuring the slack cable is pushed inside. Fix the Indicator to
the pillar using the screw provided.
•Remove all upper internal packaging, place the pillar into the base
bracket fitting and remove the complete machine from the box.
Remove any plastic bags that may have been used for protection.
•Fix the pillar to the base bracket fitting using the screws provided
•Adjust the viewing angle of the Indicator to the ideal position and
tighten the 2 x locking handles.
•Level the scale by adjusting the five feet on the WSK/WBK or the
four feet on the WFK/WLK until the bubble is in the centre of the
level indicator. If the scale rocks, re-adjust the feet.
NOTE: Use of a food-safe grease is recommended on the threaded part
of the feet to keep them turning freely.
•Attach the power input connector to the indicator, plug in and turn
on the external power supply and press the [On/Off] key. The
software revision number will be displayed followed by a self-test

Page 8
5.0 DISPLAYS
The LCD display will show a value as well as the unit currently being used. In
addition the LED’s above the display will show when a weight is below, inside
or above the check-weighing limits.
Other symbols will show when a weight has been tared (NET), the scale is at
zero and stable, if a value has been stored in memory, or when the animal
weighing function has been enabled. A battery bar symbol will show the state
of charge of the internal battery.

6.0 OPERATION
ZEROING THE DISPLAY
•You can press the [

0/T

]key at any time to set the display to
zero. This will usually be when the platform is empty. When the
zero point is obtained the display will show an indicator for zero.
•The scale has an automatic re-zeroingfunction to accountfor minor
drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you
may need to press the [

0/T

]key to re zero the scale if small
amounts of weight are shown when the platform is empty.
TARING
•Zero the scale by pressing the [

0/T

]key if necessary. The
“ZERO” indicator will be ON.
•Place a container on the platform and a value for its weight will be
displayed.

Page 10
•Press the [

0/T

]key to tare the scale. The weight is deducted
and stored as the tare value leaving zero on the display. The “NET”
indicator will be ON and as a product is added only the net weight
of the product will be shown. The scale could be tared a second
time if another type of product was to be added to the first one.
Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
NOTE: The “NET” indicator will only be ON when the tare weight
exceeds 4% (+/- 2weighing divisions) of the scale capacity.
•When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If
the scale was tared just before removing the container this value is
the gross weight which includes the container and the entire
product it contains. The “ZERO” indicator will be on to indicate that
the platform is back to the same condition as it was when zero was
last set.
•To delete a Tare value, press [

0/T

] when the pan is empty.
WEIGHING A SAMPLE
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare the empty container if it is to be
used and then place the sample in the container. The display will show the net
weight of the sample and the unit of weight currently in use.

Page 11
PARTS COUNTING
If parts counting is enabled, it is possible to count parts using a sample of the
parts to determine average piece weight.
•Before starting, tare the weight of any container that may be used,
leaving the empty container on the scale. Place a known number
of samples in the container, if used. The number should match the
options for parts counting, i.e., 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.
•When the scale is showing weight, pressing the [Pcs/

]key will
start the parts counting function.
•The scale will show “P 10” asking for a sample size of 10 parts.
Change the sample size to the desired quantity by pressing the
[Pcs/

]key. It will cycle through the options: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200
and back to 10.
•Press the [

0/T

]key again when the number matches the
number of parts used as the sample. As more weight is added the
display will show the number of parts (Pcs).
•Pressing the [Unit/

]key will display the net weight (pcs and kg),
pressing it second time will display the unit weight (g/pcs) and the
third time, it will be the count again (pcs).

Page 12
•Press the [Pcs/

]key to return to normal weighing. Press the
[Pcs/

]key again to start counting a different sample.
CHECK-WEIGHING
Check-weighing is a procedure to cause lamps to come on (and if enabled, an
alarm to sound) when the weight on the scale meets or exceeds values stored
in memory. The memory holds the last values for a high and a low limit when
the power is turned off. The user can set either one limit or both as described
in section 7.1. The limits can be set when the scale is in weighing or parts
counting modes. After limits have been set the Check-weighing function is
enabled.
When a weight is placed on the scale the LED’s above the display will show if
the weight is above or below the limits and the beeper will sound as described
below, if the beeper is enabled (see section 7.1).
The relay outputs are open collector drivers to control an external relay. The
relays will be active when the corresponding LED is on during check-weighing.
The ZERO relay output will be on when the scale is showing the display is at
Zero.

Page 13
ACCUMULATED TOTAL
•The scale can be set to accumulate manually by pressing the
[Print/M+/Esc] key or automatically when a weight is removed from
the scale. See the Section 7.3 for details of setting the Parameter
“C3 PRM” and “C4 Aon”. The accumulation function is available when
weighing or when counting parts. However the memory is cleared
if the weighing units or functions are changed.
•When the weight (or count) displayed is stored in memory the
display will show “ACC 1” and then the total in memory for 2 seconds
before returning to weighing. The RS-232 interface will output to a
printer or PC.
•Remove the weight, allowing the scale to return to zero and put a
second weight on. When this value is stored, the display will show
“ACC 2”, then the new total and finally the value of the second
weight. Repeat as necessary to add all the values needed to the
memory.
•To view the total in memory press the [Print/M+/Esc] key when
there is no weight on the scale. The display will show the number
of entries and the total.
•To clear the memory (set the value to zero) press the [Func/C] key
during the time the totals are being displayed.

Page 14
PERCENT WEIGHING
The scale can be set to perform percent weighing. See Section 7.2.
The scale will use a mass on the platform as the 100% reference weight. If the
platform is empty (or the scale is tared) then the user can input a reference
weight using the keypad.
NOTE: The weight value entered as 100% must be greater than 50 scale
divisions. The display may jump by large numbers unexpectedly if small
weights are used to set as 100% reference. The scale checks if the weight is
too small and will show Error 7
•Press [Func/C]. The first option is “FunC 1”. press the [Func/C] key again
display “FunC 2”.
•Press the [

0/T

]key. “P1 PCt” will be displayed.
•Press [

0/T

]again to enter percent weighing. The scale will set the
sample mass on the platform as 100% reference weight.
•Remove the sample weight. Then any other weight placed on the scale
will be displayed as a percentage of the original sample. For example, if
3500g is placed on the scale and percent weighing is selected, the
display will show 100.0%. Remove the 3500g weight and place a 3000g
weight. The display will show 85.7% as 3000g is 85.7% of 3500g.

Page 15
•The number of decimal points will depend on the weight used in
comparison to the capacity of the system. A smaller weight will show
only “100%” while a larger weight might show “100.00%”.
•If the scale was showing zero weight when entering this function, then
the user must manually enter the weight to be set as 100% as described
below.
•Press the [

0/T

]key. “P1 PCt” will be displayed.
•Press [

0/T

]again to enter percent weighing. The scale will now
accept a value the user enters as the reference weight.
•Enter the value using the [Unit/

] key and [Pcs/

]key to select and set
the value of the 100% mass.
•When set, press the [

0/T

]key to store the value. The display will
show “0.00 %”.
•Press [Unit/

•Press [

0/T

] to enter animal weighing. The scale will change to
animal weighing and allow weighing of an unstable animal or sample on
the platform.
•To use the Animal Weighing function it is necessary to set the amount of
filtering required for the item to be weighed. The display will show “Flt x”
“Flt x”“Flt x”
“Flt x”
where xis a value from 1 to 5. The higher the value the greater the
amount of filter will be. More active animals will require a higher level of
filtering to give a stable result. To increment the value shown, press the
[Pcs/
