1. INTRODUCTION
This manual was created to help you install and learn all about the functional possibilities of the purchased indicator.
The instrument is suitable for use in various weighing environments.
Not only does it have all the normal features of high-precision scales, but it also gives you the possibility to work in specific
environments due to the functioning modes contained in the software implemented in the FLASH MEMORY on the internal
board; This makes the instrument extremely flexible and it can be used in many different industrial applications linked to
weighing. The double numerical and interactive alphanumerical display, the alphanumerical and function keyboard, allow the
operator an easy and immediate use and provide the microcontroller with DATA ENTRY functions in addition to the normal
weighing functions. The input/output allows the instrument to control various external devices, to receive external commands,
control a printer and communicate with a personal computer or to be inserted in a network of weight indicators controlled by a
PC.
WARNING
Please note that this instrument is covered by a warranty and MUST NOT BE OPENED BY THE USER for any reason
whatsoever. Any attempt to repair or modify the unit exposes the user to the risk of electric shock and will invalidate the entire
warranty.
If any problems are found in the unit or with the system in which it is used, the fact must be communicated to the
manufacturer or the dealer from whom it was purchased.
In any case, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY before taking any action.
With the 6V rechargeable battery version, it has to be completely recharged (12 hours) in the first installation of the
instrument; we RECOMMEND disconnecting the battery if the instrument is not going to be used for more than 30
days. In order to avoid the deterioration of the rechargeable battery:
- In standard conditions, never leave the battery partially or completely uncharged; at least once a week recharge it
completely.
- In case the instrument is not used for a long period, one needs to
1. completely recharge the battery before the system is switched off for the last time;
2. recharge completely every 3 months.
Do not pour liquids on the weight indicator.
Do not use solvents to clean the weight indicator.
Do not expose the instrument to direct sunlight nor place it near heat sources.
Place or anchor the weight indicator and platform on a non-vibrating base.
All the connections of the indicator have to be made respecting
the rules applicable in the zone and in the installing environment.
Read carefully and apply what is described in the section 3.
Do not install in any area where there is a risk of explosion.
The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it must be taken to

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 POWER SUPPLY
- The 3590E indicator is powered with 12Vdc voltage , through an internal adapter which converts the 100 ÷240Vac,
50÷60Hz mains voltage and 6 Vdc, from the built-in battery (fitted, depending on the model).
TO POWER the instrument through the 240 Vac mains, or TO RECHARGE the battery, insert the plug and the adapter to the
240 Vac mains socket.
- The CPWE indicator is powered with 12÷24 Vdc voltage.
- The CPWET indicator is powered with 12 ÷ 24Vdc voltage.
To connect it to the power mains, the safety regulations must be observed, including the use of a "clean" line without
disturbances or interference caused by other electronic equipment.
Version with rechargeable battery: the battery inside the indicator, lasts about 25 hours (without the expansion board, with
1-cell platform) and it needs a recharging time of about 12 hours.
BATTERY FEATURES
Material LEAD
Power 4,5 Ah
Voltage 6 V
THE BATTERY MUST BE SUPPLIED DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.
NOTE: it is advisable to completely recharge it (12 hours) in the first installation of the instrument; we RECOMMEND
disconnecting the battery if the instrument is not going to be used for more than 30 days.
Do not connect other equipment to the same socket as the one that the adapter is in.
Do not step on or crush the power supply cable
3.2 START UP
TO TURN ON the 3590E or the CPWET press the Ckey until the display turns on; then release.
The CPWE instead is automatically turned on as soon as it is powered.
The display shows:
-Initially a welcome message (settable in the TECHNICAL SET-UP, << LoGo >> StEP, TECH.MAN.REF)while the
instrument carries out a series of checking and preheating self tests.
-E-AF09 - XX name of the installed software, in which XX identifies the software language.
XX.YY is the software version installed.
-“EXECUTION AUTOZERO”
The instrument carries out the "autozero at start-up” function: if a weight is detected within the percentile set in the <<
Auto-0 >> step (TECH.MAN.REF.), it is cleared; if the weight is not within this tolerance:
-with a non approved instrument, the display shows the weight after a few instants,
-with an approved instrument, the message “EXECUTION AUTOZERO” appears continuously on the display, until the
weight is within tolerance.
The autozero function at start-up can be disabled in the set-up environment (only with a non approved instrument), see the
<<Auto 0>> parameter.
By pressing the 2ndF key for an instant while the version is shown in the display, the indicator will show in this order:
XX.YY in which XX indicates the instrument type, YY indicates the metrological software version.
XX.YY.ZZ is the installed software version.
HH is the installed hardware version (08).
LEGAL FOR TRADE or HIGH RESOLUTION if the instrument is APPROVED or UNAPPROVED, respectively.
9.XXXXX is the g gravity value (only with APPROVED instrument).
3.3 TURNING OFF THE INSTRUMENT
TO TURN OFF the 3590E/CPWET or TO RESTART the CPWE keep the Ckey pressed until the “- OFF -“ message appears
on the LED display and “ *** POWER OFF *** ” on the LCD display.
TO TURN OFF the CPWE remove the instrument’s power supply.

3.4 TURNING ON PRINTER IN ENERGY SAVING MODE
Premise: the SEtuP >> SEriAL >> CoMPrn >> PWrPrn parameter must be set as “ExtoFF” or “PWrint”
(TECH.MAN.REF).
In a system where the indicator is connected to a printer, both are battery powered, the printer is normally maintained in
STAND-BY and powered only when a printout is needed. This function reduces the energy absorbed by the battery when the
printer is not being used.
If, in this configuration, one should power the printer to change the paper and other maintenance jobs, one needs to press in
sequence the ENTER and 0 keys during the weighing: the LED display shows Prn –on (Blinking), and the printer is kept on.
Press any key to exit from this condition.

4.3 ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT
It might be necessary, while the weighing system is working, to enter some alphanumerical texts such as descriptions,
alphanumerical messages (operator, lot number, customer, etc.).
To enter the characters one uses the 0 to 9 keys.
By pressing one of these keys a few times, the characters shown on the key will be shown on the display: initially the first
letter in the bottom left will appear, and then the other characters towards the right.
After digiting a character, the blinking cursor, after a few instants, advances automatically of a position.
When the maximum number of characters has been reached, the indicator emits an acoustic signal and the cursor remains
in that positions.
TAKE NOTE:
In the updating of a text, if the cursor is at the beginning of the text and the first key pressed is Cor a character/number key,
all the entered characters will be deleted.
Function of the keys
F5
Switches the writing mode from “numeric” (nuM) to “characters” (ChAr).
In the nuM mode one enters just the numbers, while in the ChAr mode one can enter all the characters of
a key. The last writing mode selected is stored by the instrument.
C
If pressed for an instant, it cancels the written characters: first the characters that follow the cursor are
cancelled; than those that precede it, one at a time.
If pressed at length, it deletes all entered characters.
With empty text, it exits the entry phase without confirming.
SHIFT
It enters a space in the middle of a text.

NOTE: through the remote keyboard, it’s not possible to carry out the functions made by pressing the keys at length.
4.7 REMOTE CONTROL
Depending on the model of indicator, it is possible to remotely control the instrument through one of the following types of
remote controls: 19-key infrared (ir),18-key infrared (ir) or 6-key radio (rd).
The type of remote control to be used must be selected in the Setup environment, in the << inF.rEd >> step
(TECH.MAN.REF.).
NOTE: The infrared remote controls are for indoor use only.

4.7.2 “6-KEY” RADIO REMOTE CONTROL
With this type of remote control, the functioning of each key can be programmed so that it is matched to one of the available
keys of the indicator.
This configuration must be carried out in the Setup environment, in the << inF.rEd >> step (TECH.MAN.REF.), after the
selection of this type of remote control.
By pressing the ./HELP key of the indicator, it’s possible to see, while weighing, the list of the functions matched to the keys
of the indicator and also to the keys of the remote control (see section 4.1.4 “HELP MENU”).
EXAMPLE OF CONFIGURATION
USE OF MORE REMOTE CONTROLS WITH ONLY ONE INDICATOR
If one works with only an indicator, it is possible to use any 6-key remote control, without combining it to the indicator,
therefore without limiting the number of usable remote controls.
To enable this mode one has to first select “RD 6 BR” in the << inF.rEd >> (TECH.MAN.REF.).
USE OF MORE REMOTE CONTROLS WITH SEVERAL INDICATORS IN THE SAME AREA
If one needs to use several indicators in the same area, it is possible to combine each remote control to the desired indicator,
in order to execute the function only on it and therefore avoid emulating the function on all indicators in use.
By enabling this mode it will be possible to combine up to 3 different remote controls (e.i. for 3 different operators) for each
indicator.
To enable this mode one has to first select “RD 6” in the << inF.rEd >> (TECH.MAN.REF.).
To link a new remote control to the indicator one has to:
- press at length 1 and 2 keys together (3 seconds).
- the instrument displays "aut.rd?"
- press the ENTER key of the indicator
- the new remote control is linked
To remove the linking of a remote control one has to:
- press at length 1 and 2 keys together (3 seconds).
- the instrument displays "aut.rd?"
- press the C key of the indicator; if the remote control was previously linked, it will be removed.
