1. GENERAL INFORMATION
WLC precision balance enables fast and accurate mass measurements under
laboratory and industrial conditions. WLC balance is equipped with an internal
battery, this allows its operation in places where there is no access to the
mains. The device is equipped with a stainless steel weighing pan, and a
backlit LCD guaranteeing clear weighing result presentation.
WLC balance is equipped with the following interfaces: 2 x RS232, USB type A,
and USB type B, enabling cooperation between the balance and peripheral
devices (e.g. printer, computer, USB flash drive).

6. DEFINING THE DEVICE

Defining the device at the production stage requires entering basic
balance/scale parameters: serial number, weighing device type, weighing
range.

Procedure:
• Enter factory setup <P.0.FAct>.
• Go to <0.1.Glob / 0.1.1.duu> submenu, text <Cont?> is displayed.

• Press key, text <nr FAc> is displayed, next you see window for
entering the serial number.
• Enter the serial number, do it using the operation panel.

14
 • Press key to confirm, text <tYPE> is displayed, next you see window
for balance/scale type selection.
• Select balance/scale type, do it using operation panel (refer to factory
parameters table, section 6.2 of this manual).

• Press key to confirm, weighing range window is displayed.

• Select appropriate weighing range, do it using the operation panel.

• Press key to confirm, <0.1.1duu> submenu is displayed.

• Exit to home screen, to do it press key repeatedly.

While defining balance/scale type, additional parameters are

set automatically. These are among many battery type,
internal adjustment accessibility, additional modules and
communication interfaces accessibility.

7. FACTORY ADJUSTMENT
7.1. External Adjustment Process
• Enter factory setup submenu: <P.0.FAct / 0.3.CAL>.
• Enter <0.3.1.CLE> function, text <UnLoAd> is displayed.
• Unload the weighing pan.

• Press key, adjustment zero point gets determined.

• With adjustment zero point determined, first text <LoAd>, next mass of an
adjustment weight that is to be loaded onto the weighing pan is displayed.
• Load the weighing pan with the required adjustment weight.

• Press key, adjustment starts.

• Upon adjustment completion, text <UnLoAd> is displayed.
• Unload the weighing pan, <0.3.1.CLE> submenu is displayed.

• Exit to home screen, to do it press key repeatedly.

15
7.2. Start Mass Determination
• Enter factory setup submenu: <P.0.FAct / 0.3.CAL>.
• Enter <0.3.2.Std> function, text <UnLoAd> is displayed.
• Unload the weighing pan.

• Press key, start mass determination starts.

• Upon completed determination process, <0.3.2.Std> submenu is
displayed.

• Exit to home screen, to do it press key repeatedly.

If start mass determination or adjustment factor

determination takes more than 360 seconds then <Err8>
error is displayed and short sound signal is heard. In such
case the balance requires readjustment/recalibration,
perform it providing as stable ambient conditions as
possible!

7.3. Correction of Start Mass Expressed in Converter's Divisions

• Enter factory setup submenu: <P.0.FAct / 0.3.CAL>.
• Enter <0.3.4.Stu> submenu, value of start mass expressed in converter's
divisions is displayed.

• Correct the value, to do it use operation panel, next press key to

confirm changes.

• Exit to home screen, to do it press key repeatedly.

8. LINEARITY CORRECTION
Prior linearity correction it is necessary to determine real balance
characteristics. Correction mechanism allows to enter corrections in 20 points
maximum.

8.1. Entering Linearity Correction Points

• Enter factory setup submenu: <P.0.FAct / 0.4.Line / 0.4.1.dSG>, text
<Cont?> is displayed.

16
 • Press key to confirm. Text <Pnt1> is displayed (linearity connection
point no. 1).

• Press key, window for entering mass value for linearity correction
point no. 1 is displayed.

• Enter the given value, next press key to confirm, text <Pnt2> is
displayed (linearity connection point no. 2).

• Press key, the program automatically suggests value for the next
linearity correction point.

• Press key to confirm the suggested value, or enter a new value (do it
using the operation panel).
• Keep repeating this procedure until you enter value close to maximum
capacity value.

While attempting to enter correction point value greater than

maximum capacity value, <Err Hi> error is signalled.

• In order to finish entering linearity correction points press key,

<0.4.1.dSG> submenu is displayed.

8.2. Corrections
It is possible to enter extra corrections for declared linearity correction points.

Procedure:
• Enter factory setup submenu: <P.0.FAct / 0.4.Line / 0.4.3.Cor>, value of
linearity correction point no.1 is displayed.

• Press key, window for entering correction value for linearity correction
point no. 1 is displayed.

• If there is a need to enter negative value, go to the first digit and press
key.

• Press key to confirm, modified correction point value is displayed.

17
 • Go to the next linearity correction point, to do it press key.
• Correcting the 2nd linearity correction point is analogous.

• In order to finish correcting linearity correction points press key,

<0.4.3.Cor> submenu is displayed.

8.3. Deleting Linearity

• Enter factory setup submenu: <P.0.FAct / 0.4.Line / 0.4.2.dEL>, text
<Cont?> is displayed.

• Press key to confirm.

• Exit to home screen, to do it press key repeatedly.

9. GRAVITATIONAL COEFFICIENT
The function of gravity correction compensates changes of gravity force being
a result of different latitude. It allows to carry out correct balance/scale
calibration away from the point of subsequent use. The gravity correction value
must be entered with reference to tables prepared by „Radwag Balances and
Scales” or calculated using the below formula:
guzyt.
Gcor =
gkal.
Correction value ranges between 0.90000 ÷ 1.99999.

If the balance is calibrated in the place of use then the value

of gravitational coefficient, <0.1.4.Gcr> parameter, must be
1.00000. If the weighing instrument is calibrated away from
the place of use (longitudinal change) the value must be
corrected.

18
10. COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
10.1. General Information
A. A character based communication protocol, weighing device - indicator,
is designed for establishing communication between a RADWAG
balance or scale and a peripheral device via RS232C serial interface.
B. The protocol consists of commands sent from a peripheral device to the
weighing device and responses from the weighing device.
C. Responses are sent from the weighing device each time a command is
received.
D. Commands, forming the communication protocol, enable obtaining data
on weighing device status and facilitate influencing weighing device
operation, e.g.: acquiring measurement results from the balance,
monitoring the display, etc.

10.4.14. Unlock Balance Keypad
Format: K0 CR LF
Response: K0_OK CR LF - command carried out.

10.4.15. Give Balance Serial Number

Format: NB CR LF
Response options:
NB_A_”Serial No.” CR LF - command understood, response: serial number.

NB_I CR LF - command understood but not accessible at this

moment.

”Serial No.” – serial number of the device. Inserted in between inverted commas.

Example:
NB CR LF – command sent from a computer.
NB_A_”123456” CR LF – balance serial number - 123456.

Format: PC CR LF
Response: PC_- >_Z,T,OT,UT,S,SI,SU,SUI,C1,C0,CU1,CU0,K1,K0,NB,PC
- command carried out, the indicator displays all implemented commands.

10.5. Manual Printout / Automatic Printout

It is possible to generate printouts both manually and automatically.
• Manual printout is generated for stable weighing result. Load the platform,

wait for a stable result and press key.

• Automatic printout is generated for stable weighing result. Load the
platform, wait for a stable result. No key needs to be pressed.

Option of temporary weighing results printout is disabled for

verified balance.

10.6. Continuous Transmission

For continuous transmission mode the balance/scale provides option of mass
measurement printout in basic unit and in additional unit. The mode can be
activated with command sent via computer, or by setting respective parameter
values on the balance/scale.
