PRECAUTIONS
Prior to installation, use or maintenance activities, carefully read this user
manual and follow the provided guidelines.
Prior to the first use, carefully read this user manual. Use the weighing
device only as intended.
Place weighed loads in the centre of the weighing pan.
Load the weighing pan with loads of gross weight which does not exceed
the maximum capacity.
Mind not to leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for longer periods
of time.
Protect the indicator against considerable temperature variation, solar and
UV radiation, substances causing chemical reactions.
The C32 scale must not be operated in hazardous areas endangered with
explosion of gases, and in dusty environments.
In case of damage, immediately unplug the device from the mains.
Scales to be decommissioned must be decommissioned in accordance
with valid legal regulations.
Do not let battery discharge in case of prolonged storage of the device
in low temperature.
A worn out battery can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by the
authorized service.
Accumulators do not belong to regular household waste. The European
legislation requires discharged accumulators to be collected and disposed
separately from other communal waste with the aim of being recycled.
Symbols on batteries identify harmful compounds: Pb = lead,
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury. Dear user, you are obliged to dispose of the
worn out batteries as regulated.
If the scale is to be operated in conditions that are difficult due to
electrostatics (e.g. printing house, packing centre, etc.), you must connect
it to the earth wire. To enable this, the device features functional earthing
terminal, marked with symbol.

1. INTENDED USE
The scales are a response to growing market demands for a solution offering
simplicity of operation and weighing process automated to the maximum.
C32 series scales enable fast and accurate mass measurement in laboratory
and industry.
Scale of standard design is equipped with two RS232 interfaces, USB type A,
USB type B, Ethernet, wireless communication, 2 proximity sensors, 4 I/O.
Optionally the device can be equipped with an internal battery, this allows its
operation in places where there is no access to the mains. C32 series scales
team with receipt printers, barcode scanners, additional display, and PC
accessories (mouse, keyboard, USB flash drive).
2. 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 the assistance of the manufacturer and the 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 scale does not bear security seal 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].
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 components.

7
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 the 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
cleansers containing abrasive substances.
3.2. Cleaning Stainless Steel Components
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach
(containing chlorine). Do not use cleansers containing abrasive substances.
Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to avoid damage of protective
coating.
Daily cleaning routine (removal of small stains):
1. Remove the dirt using cloth dipped in warm water.
2. For best results, add a little bit of dishwashing detergent.
4. SERVICE AND REPAIR
In case of any sign of damage, it is necessary to disconnect
the device form the mains immediately. The damaged
component must be replaced or repaired by RADWAG
service directly.
In case of any problems with correct operation of the scale, contact the closest
manufacturer's service point. In case of defects, deliver the faulty product to the
manufacturer's service point. If the product cannot be delivered to the
manufacturer's service point, call the service and report the defect. Repair
scope and method will be set up.

8
The user is NOT ALLOWED to carry out any kind of repair
of the device himself/herself. Any attempt of scale
modification, repair etc., by unauthorized persons, will result
with loss of validity of manufacturer-issued certificates,
declarations and warranty.
5. RECYCLING
HY10 scales must be recycled, they are not to be treated as a regular
household waste. Scales to be decommissioned must be decommissioned
in accordance with valid legal regulations.
6. MECHANICAL DESIGN
The 1-load-cell C32 scale is intended to carry out fast and precise mass
measurement of up to 300 kg loads. Its characteristic feature is a platform with
one load cell only. The platform is equipped with a stainless steel weighing
pan. Depending on a scale model, the cross and base are made of either
stainless steel or powder-coated steel.

pictogram displayed continuously: battery charged within 75% -
100% range of permissible voltage,
pictogram displayed continuously: battery charged within 50% - 75%
range of permissible voltage,
pictogram displayed continuously: battery charged within 25% and
50% range of permissible voltage,
pictogram displayed continuously: battery discharged (charge level
below 25% of the permissible voltage), connect the scale to the mains in
order to charge it,
blinking pictogram: damaged battery or battery lack,
