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.
The version with the 6V rechargeable battery 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.
Everything not expressly described in this manual has to be
considered as improper use of the equipment.

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 internal 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 8÷24 Vdc voltage.
- The CPWET indicator is powered with 8÷ 24Vdc voltage.
To connect the indicator 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/CPWET press the C key until the 6 status indicator LEDS turn on; then release.
The CPWE instead is automatically turned on as soon as it is powered.
The LCD 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-AF04 - 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 auto zero function at start-up may be disabled in the set-up environment (only with non approved instrument); see
SEtuP >> ConFiG >> PArAm. >> Auto-0 (TECH.MAN.REF.)
By pressing the 2ndF key for an instant while the version is shown in the display, the indicator will show in this order:

appears on the display and “ *** POWER OFF *** ” on the display.
TO TURN OFF the CPWE remove the instrument’s power supply
3.4 TURNING ON PRINTER IN ENERGY SAVING MODE
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 display shows Prn –on (Blinking), and the printer is kept on.
Press any key to exit from this condition.

alphanumeric text is assigned to the corresponding input text.
Alphanumeric clipboard contains up to 32 characters.
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: 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 TELECOMANDO RADIO A 6 TASTI
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 >>, 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).
EXAMPLE OF CONFIGURATION
USE OF VARIOUS 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 >>.

USE OF VARIOUS 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 1and 2keys 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 1and 2keys together (3 seconds).
- the instrument displays "aut.rd?"
- press the Ckey of the indicator; if the remote control was previously linked, it will be removed.

5. FUNCTION DISPLAY
During the weighing the displays are subdivided mainly in 3 sections, shown in the figure below:
-WEIGHT
-STATUS INDICATORS (led pilot lights / or graphic symbols)
-DATA (two lines in the 3590E; one or two lines in the CPWE/CPWET, depending on the weight zoom function, see
following section).
Figure 1: 3590E displays
Figure 2: CPWE/CPWET display
NOTE: If the EEEEE message appears, this means that the value exceeds the maximum number of digits shown by the
instrument.
5.1 WEIGHT ZOOM
The zoom function allows to increase the size of the weight digits, in order to ease the reading from a distance; with the
active zoom, the data is shown on a single line.
Through the << ZOOM.W >> step, one can disable/enable the function and set a delay which determines the activation
mode:
- always active function (with delay equal to 0), or
- disabled function at the pressing of a key and reenabled automatically when the keyboard inactivity time reaches the
configured delay period (with delay greater than 0).

5.3 BATTERY LEVEL INDICATION
The indicator is able to recognise whether it is powered by mains or by battery, and indicate its charge level; to enable the
battery level indication, one should configure the << bt.LEVEL >> step.
The charge level is shown during weighing by the battery symbol.
- : charged battery.
- : partially charged battery.
- : discharged battery: connect the indicator to the mains for recharging the battery (if provided for by that model) or
replacing the battery. Furthermore, the "Low.bat " message will appear for a few seconds on the display (voltage at
minimum level).
The indicator shows also when the battery is being recharged (if provided for the model):
RECHARGE PHASE: …
COMPLETED RECHARGE:
NOTES:
- During the recharge the instrument can be normally used.
- The instrument automatically turns off when the voltage goes below the minimum level.
5.4 "TILT" DEVICE
The TILT is a device which inhibits the indicator’s weighing system and starts working when the instrument’s inclination is
greater than 2% for the pallet truck application or 5% for application on lift trucks.
The “tilt” message is shown on the display, alternately with the weight value.
The activation of the tilt alarm has a delay of about three seconds from the detection of the exceeding inclination.
See the electrical connection scheme (TECH.MAN.REF.) for the connection of the device.
