1. INTENDED USE
PUE C32 weighing indicator is a device intended to design industrial scales
operating on the basis of load cells. The indicator features ABS plastic housing
and 5'' colour graphic display ensuring perfect readability. It is operated using
22-key membrane keypad equipped with programmable function keys.
Standard design offers two RS232 interfaces, USB type A, USB type B,
Ethernet, wireless communication, 2 proximity sensors, 4 I/O. Optionally the
indicator can be equipped with an internal battery, this allows its operation in
places where there is no access to the mains. The device cooperates with
receipt printers, barcode scanners and PC accessories (mouse, keyboard,
USB flash drive).
Caution:
The PUE C32 indicator must not be operated in hazardous areas endangered
with explosion of gases, and in dusty environments.
2. PRECAUTIONS
2.1. Operation
A. Prior the first use, carefully read this User Manual. Use the device only
as intended.
B. Place weighed loads in the centre of the weighing pan.
C. Load the weighing pan with loads of gross weight which does not exceed
maximum capacity.
D. Mind not to leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for longer periods of
time.
E. Protect the indicator against:
- considerable temperature variation,
- solar and UV radiation,
- substances causing chemical reactions.
F. The indicator is not intended to be operated in EX zones.
G. In case of defect, immediately unplug the device from the mains.
H. Indicators to be decommissioned must be decommissioned in
accordance with valid legal regulations.
2.2. Battery Power Supply
PUE C32 indicator can optionally be supplied by NiMH battery (nickel-metal
hydride) of 1800 - 2800 mAh capacity.
Do not let battery discharge in case of prolonged storage of
the device in low temperature.

7
A worn out battery can be replaced only by the
manufacturer or by the authorized service.
The equipment including accumulators does not belong to
regular household waste. The European legislation requires
electric and electronic equipment to be collected and
disposed separately from other communal waste with the
aim of being recycled. Dear user, you are obliged to
dispose of the worn out battery as regulated.
Notice:
Symbols on butteries identify harmful compounds: Pb = lead, Cd = cadmium,
Hg = mercury.
3. MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
In order to ensure safety in the course of cleaning, it is necessary to disconnect
the device from the mains. With this condition met, uninstall the weighing pan
and other detachable balance components.
Caution:
Cleaning the weighing pan while still installed may cause damage of the
measuring system.
3.1. Cleaning ABS Components
To clean dry surfaces and avoid smudging, use clean non-colouring cloths
made of cellulose or cotton. You can use a solution of water and detergent
(soap, dishwashing detergent, glass cleaner). Gently rub the cleaned surface
and let it dry. Repeat cleaning process if needed.
In the case of hard to remove contamination, e.g: residues of adhesive, rubber,
resin, polyurethane foam etc., you can use a special cleaning agents based on
a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons that do not dissolve plastics. Before using
the cleanser for all surfaces we recommend carrying out tests. Do not use
products containing abrasive substances.
3.2. Cleaning Stainless Steel Components
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach
(including chlorine). Do not use products containing abrasive substances.
Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to avoid damage of protective
coating. In case of a daily maintenance:
1. Remove the dirt using cloth dipped in warm water.
2. For best results, add a little dishwashing detergent.

4. WARRANTY CONDITIONS
A. RADWAG feels obliged to repair or exchange all elements that appear to
be faulty by production or by construction.
B. Defining defects of unclear origin and means of their elimination can only
be realized with assistance of manufacturer and user representatives.
C. RADWAG does not bear any responsibility for damage or losses
resulting from unauthorized or inadequate performing of production or
service processes.
D. The warranty does not cover:
•mechanical damage caused by product exploitation other than
intended, damage of thermal and chemical origin, damage caused by
lightning, overvoltage in the power network or other random event,
•inappropriate cleaning habits.
E. Loss of warranty takes place if:
•a repair is carried out outside RADWAG authorized service point,
•service claims intrusion into mechanical or electronic construction by
unauthorized people,
•the indicator does not bear company protective stickers.
F. Warranty conditions outline the warranty period for rechargeable
batteries attached to the device for 12 months.
G. For detailed warranty conditions read the warranty certificate.
H. Contact with the central authorized service: [phone] ext. 106
and 107.

6. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
A. Take the indicator out of the packaging.
B. Connect the indicator to a weighing platform, next place the weighing
device on a flat and even surface. Keep it far away from any sources of
heat.
