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 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.
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.
Everything not expressly described in this manual has to be considered as improper use of the equipment.
READ CAREFULLY AND APPLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN CHAPTER “INSTALLATION”.
Do not install in any area where there is a risk of explosion.
The symbol of the crossed trash can on the equipment shows that the product at the end of its utility
must be handled separately from other trash. Therefore, when the product is no longer used, the user
should take it to the appropriate places in which electronic and electrotechnical trash is taken or he may
take it to the reseller when he purchases a new equivalent type of equipment. The adequate
differentiated refuse collection in having the instrument recycled, treated and disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner helps to avoid possible negative effects on the environment and health
and supports the recycling of the materials of which the equipment is made. The unlawful disposal of
the product by the user will entail fines foreseen by the current regulations.

3.3 POWER SUPPLY
- The 3590E indicator is powered with 12Vdc voltage, through an internal adapter which converts the 100 ÷240Vac,
50÷60Hz mains voltage.
TO POWER the instrument through the 240 Vac mains, insert the plug and the adapter to the 240 Vac mains socket.
- The CPWE indicator is powered with 8÷36 Vdc voltage.
For the connection to the power supply mains the safety norms must be respected including the use of a “clean” line without
noise and interference caused by other electronic devices.
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
3.4 CASE AND DIMENSIONS CPWETF
The indicator has a STAINLESS STEEL whose external dimensions are shown in Figure 5. The instrument can be wall
mounted.
NOTE: in the event that the identification plate is supplied separately (not attached to the indicator), it is advisable
to attach it on the indicator, in order to make it identifiable.

3.5 START UP
TO TURN ON the 3590E press the C key 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, TECH.MAN.REF)while the
instrument carries out a series of checking and preheating self tests.
-E-LW - XX name of the installed software, in which XX identifies the software language.
XX.YY is the software version installed.
-BARGRAPH
By pressing the 2ndF key while the version is shown in the display, the indicator shows in sequence:
01.01 in which 01 indicates the instrument type, 01 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 the g gravity value (only with APPROVED instrument).
3.6 TURNING OFF THE INSTRUMENT
TO TURN OFF the 3590E 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 the CPWE remove the instrument’s power supply.
3.7 CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY POWERED PRINTER
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, and the printer is kept on. Press
any key to exit from this condition.

4.7 REMOTE CONTROL (3590EXT VERSION)
Depending on the model of indicator, it is possible to remotely control the instrument through one of the following types of
remote controls: 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.
4.7.1 “19-KEY” INFRARED REMOTE CONTROL
With this type of remote control, the functioning of the keys will be as described in the following table.
FUNCTION OF THE KEYS
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 “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.

5. DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
During the weighing the displays are subdivided mainly in 4 sections, shown in the figure below:
1) SELECTABLE WEIGHT DATA: WEIGHT or FLOW RATE, see section “MODIFICATION OF THE WEIGHT DATA”
for the selection mode.
2) STATUS INDICATORS (led pilot lights /or graphic symbols)
3) SYSTEM STATUS INFO (on CPWE this line is shown when not in weight zoom, described in the following section):
see section “SYSTEM STATUS INFO” for the available status info.
4) SELECTABLE INFO (second line in the 3590E; in the CPWE this line corresponds to the second line, when not in
weight zoom, or the single line shown when in weight zoom): see section MODIFICATION OF THE DISPLAYED
INFO for the available info and the selection mode.
