2. Outline and Features
The HV-C/HW-C series are platform scales with 1/3000 resolution, and have the triple
weighing range function to select the weighing range. The scale automatically
switches to small scale interval when a light sample is weighed or large scale interval
when a heavy sample is weighed, depending on the sample weight (multi-interval).
The HV-C/HW-C series come with two types of resolution;
1/10000:Standard models
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 back lit 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 be
counted, to a count, when each article has the same mass value.
The comparator function compares the displayed weight value with the upper limit
value (HI) and the lower limit value (LO) and displays the result. The result can be
output by a buzzer if option HVW-04CJA is installed.
The scale has an accumulation function with a maximum of 6 digits, which has a
maximum accumulations of 999 times. (The number of times weighed and the total
mass of that can be stored in the scale.),
The optional RS-232C serial interface, USB interface or comparator relay output can
be installed to the scale with up to three units.
The following parameters are stored in the scale even if the power is removed.
Display mode (unit)
Unit mass of counting mode
Total count and total mass of accumulation function
Upper limit value and lower limit value of upper / lower comparator function,
Calibration data
Parameters of the function table
Multi-interval: This is what the minimum display is automatically switched to
depending on the sample weight
Example) With the HV-60KC, weighing capacity is 60kg and minimum display is
0.005kg, 0.01kg or 0.02kg.
Multi-interval: When exceeding the range for small, medium or large, the minimum
display is automatically switched
Point: When a light sample is
weighed, the minimum
display is small.
When a heavy sample is
weighed, the minimum
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 is 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 which produces magnetic fields.
Do not install the scale where there is apt to be static electricity, in a place where the
relative humidity is lower than 45% RH. 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.
3.2. Operating the Scale
Periodically ensure that the weight value is correct.
Calibrate the scale before using and after moving it to another location.
Do not place anything on the pan which exceeds the weighing capacity.
Do not drop anything upon the 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 to prevent possible
error.
Replace the used batteries with four new ones when the “lb”mark is displayed.
Battery is of type D, Mono, R20P, R20PU or LR20.
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 which is moistened with warm water and a mild detergent.
The base unit can be cleaned with gentle running tap water. Do not scratch the base
unit with a brash. Allow the unit to dry before using.
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.

4. Installing the Scale
4.1. Setting up the Scale
4.1.1. Procedure
This procedure includes all of the steps for installing
the scale. Therefore, there may be some
unnecessary steps for some models.
Step 1 Take the base unit and pole out, taking care
not to pull on the load cell cable.
Step 2 Place the pan on the base unit. Remove the
protective film from the pan before use.
Step 3 Attach the pole to the bracket of the base
unit, while using 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 Allen
screws.
* With the HW-10KC, HW-10KCP, HV-15KC
and HV-15KCP, this procedure is not
required because the pole and bracket is a
combined unit.
Step 4 Select a place for installing the scale. Refer
to "3.1. Installing the Scale” .
Step 5 Adjust the level of the base unit using the
bubble spirit level and the leveling feet.
Step 6 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 in the up-and-down direction.
Setting the display sideways is also possible. (Make sure that the pole is secured
at the lower part of the pole using the allen screws. Do not turn the display unit at a
joint for the pole.)
