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 numerical and 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
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.

3.6 START-UP
TO TURN ON the 3590E or the CPWET/CPWETF press the Ckey until the display turn 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, in SETUP Menu
TECH.MAN.REF)while the instrument carries out a series of checking and preheating self tests.
-E-BATCH1–XX name of the installed software, in which XX identifies the software language.
-XX.YY is the installed software version.
-E-BATCH1–XX name of the installed software, in which XX identifies the software language.
BARGRAPH
-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:
a. with a non approved instrument, the display shows the weight after a few instants,
b. with an approved instrument, the “EXECUTION AUTOZERO” message 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 while the version is shown in the display, the indicator shows in sequence:

3.7 TURNING OFF THE INSTRUMENT
TO TURN OFF the 3590E/CPWET/CPWETF or TO RESTART the CPWE keep the C key pressed until the “- OFF -“
message appears on the LED display and “ *** POWER OFF *** ” on the LCD display.
TO TURN OFF CPWE: Remove the instrument’s power supply.
3.8 TURNING ON PRINTER IN ENERGY SAVING MODE
Premise: the SEtuP >> SEriAL >> CoMPrn >> PWrPrn parameter must be set as “EXt.oFF” 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 keep
pressed the ENTER and 0 keys (outside the dosage cycle): the display shows Prn –on (blinking), and the printer is kept
on. Press any key to exit from this condition.

4.1.2 ENTERING ALPHANUMERIC TEXT
It might be necessary, while the weighing system is working, to enter some alphanumerical texts such as descriptions,
alphanumerical messages (operator, number of lot, 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.
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.
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.
./HELP
If pressed a few times it allows entering the following characters: . , ; : # < > \ | ” % & / ( ) = ? ^ ’ [ ] { }.

Examples:
-To enter the letter “B” one should press the “2” key twice in the ChAr mode.
-To enter the number “3” one should press the “3” key four times (in the ChAr mode) or press the F5 key (one passes to
the nuM mode) and press the “3” key once.
4.1.3 DISABLING THE KEYBOARD
It is possible to disable the all keyboard functions (except the Ckey for turning on and off), in order to avoid undesired
pressings of the scale keys:
