1. GENERAL INFORMATION
WTC precision scale enables fast and accurate mass measurements under
laboratory conditions. The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped
with an anti-draft shield, is an integral part of the WTC scale. Due to a backlit
LCD display the measurement result is clearly visible. The scale is equipped
with an internal battery which allows its operation in places where there is
no access to the mains.
WTC scale is equipped with the following interfaces: RS 232, USB type A, USB
type B. The interfaces enable cooperation between the scale and peripheral
devices (e.g. printer, computer, flash drive).
2. PRECAUTIONS
2.1. Operation
A. Prior the first use, carefully read this User Manual. Use the device only
as intended.
B. Scales to be decommissioned must be decommissioned in accordance
with valid legal regulations.

the device from the mains. With this condition met, uninstall the weighing pan
and other detachable components.
10
7.2. Cleaning Stainless Steel Components
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach
(including chlorine). Do not use cleansers 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 bit of dishwashing detergent.

• Enter <Lo> function, window for entering Lo threshold value is displayed.
35
21. WORKING MODE – PARTS COUNTING
Parts Counting is a working mode enabling you to determine quantity of small
pieces of the same mass, which determination is done on the basis of mass
of sample piece (single part), and where the sample piece mass (single part
mass) is determined using the weighing device.
Procedure:
• Enter <3.2.PcS / 3.2.2.UUt> submenu.
36
• Enter respective value and press key to confirm, home screen
is displayed automatically along with quantity of parts loaded onto the
weighing pan (pcs).
• Select respective option and press key to confirm, first, text <LoAd>
is displayed for 1 second, then the weighing window.
• If the parts are to be weighed in a container, first put the container on
a weighing pan and tare it.
• Load the weighing pan with declared amount of parts. When the indication
Total weight value of all parts loaded onto the weighing pan
cannot be greater than the max capacity value.
37
In the course of parts quantity determination before
confirming the declared quantity value it is necessary to wait
for a stable measurement, .
• Enter respective value and press key to confirm, first, text <SEt Hi>
is displayed for 1 second, next, window for declaring high weighing
threshold (Max).
38

• Enter respective value and press key to confirm. The home screen
is displayed automatically with 0.000% value.
40
• Enter <toP> working mode (Peak Hold). From now on the scale registers
and holds every single weighing which is above the Lo threshold, and
which is higher than the result of the previous peak hold. Snapped peak
hold value is signalled by <Max> pictogram displayed at the top of the
screen.
• The start of the next process of peak hold measurement is possible only
after removing the load from the weighing pan and pressing key.

Upon connection of the USB flash drive to the USB A port, the drive gets
detected automatically, as a result <IE> submenu is created. Since extensions
of exported weighing reports and Alibi reports files are specific, and the file-
stored data is encoded, therefore the files content is not readable for standard
computer programs. These files can be read using ALIBI Reader, PC software
designed by RADWAG. You can download the software from RADWAG
website: www.radwag.pl.
Procedure:
• Connect the USB flash drive to USB A port.
• Enter <IE / IE1.UUE> submenu.
• The program automatically saves exported data to a USB flash drive file.
File name and extension: xxxxxx.wei, where xxxxxx – serial number.
Procedure:
• Connect the USB flash drive to USB A port.
• Enter <IE / IE2.ALE> submenu.
• The program automatically saves exported data to a USB flash drive file.
File name and extension: xxxxxx.ali, where xxxxxx – serial number.
Export procedure:
• Connect the USB flash drive to USB A port.
• Enter <IE / IE3.SPE> submenu.
• The program automatically saves exported data to a USB flash drive file.
File name and extension: xxxxxx.par, where xxxxxx – serial number.
44
Import procedure:
• Connect the USB flash drive to USB A port, make sure that the drive
stores parameters file in the main directory (file name: xxxxxx.par, where
xxxxxx – serial number).
• Enter <IE / IE4.SPI> submenu.
• User parameters are automatically imported from xxxxxx.par file.
