Limited Warranty Quantronix New Product
Statement of Warranty. Quantronix, Inc.’s, warranty obligations are limited to the terms set forth below: Quantronix
(hereinafter referred to as the “Seller”) warrants that its new product is in accordance with Seller’s published specifications
(or those agreed upon with Buyer in writing) at the time of sale or lease and that it is free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of sale or the commencement date under a
written equipment lease or rental agreement (the “Warranty Period”). If a hardware defect arises and a valid claim is
received within the Warranty Period, at its option, Seller will either (i) repair the hardware defect at no charge, using new or
refurbished replacement parts, or (ii) exchange the product with a product that is new or which has been manufactured
from new or serviceable used parts and is at least functionally equivalent to the original product, or (iii) refund the purchase
price of the product. For purposes of this warranty agreement, “Buyer” shall mean and refer to (i) the party which originally
– whether from Seller directly, or from a distributor, agent or reseller authorized by Seller – purchases, or leases under a
written equipment lease or rental agreement, the Seller’s product which is the subject of this warranty, or (ii) any
subsequent purchaser or transferee that acquires valid title to the equipment within the Warranty Period.
In the event of the occurrence of a claim under this warranty, the Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to notify Seller in writing
of the nature and specifics of the claimed defect; provided, however, that any and all claims must be received before the
expiration of the Warranty Period. Failure to notify Seller within such time period shall void this warranty. Any claim of a
warrantied defect is subject to inspection and analysis by Seller to conclusively identify or confirm the nature and cause of
failure and application of this warranty.
This is a factory warranty and any defective components, mechanical or electrical, will be repaired or replaced, at the
discretion and authorization of Seller, at Seller’s facilities in Utah. It shall be the Buyer’s responsibility to return the faulty
equipment or components to Seller at Buyer’s expense. Seller’s obligation shall not include transportation charges, nor labor,
material, or service charges involved in the removal, return or installation of equipment or components. Seller reserves the
right to incorporate improvements in material and design of its products without notice and is not obligated to incorporate
the same improvements in equipment previously manufactured.
Exclusions and Limitations. This limited one (1) year warranty is applicable exclusively to original equipment products
and components that were manufactured by Seller. Seller also warrants its replacement parts, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, for the lesser period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery or until the expiration of the
original warranty, whichever is greater. Seller does not warrant, for any purpose, any external accessories, including but not
limited to computers, controllers and/or barcode scanners, that are manufactured by another manufacturer and sold under
a separate label, even if they are packaged or sold with Seller’s product. Seller’s obligation and liability under this warranty is
expressly limited to repair or replacement (at its option) of the warrantied equipment or components within the Warranty
Period. A purchase by Buyer of equipment that it had first leased or rented shall not start a new Warranty Period. Seller does
not warrant that the operation of the product will be uninterrupted or error‐free.
This warranty shall not apply to equipment or components which has/have:
1. Been the subject of repairs or modifications not authorized by Seller.

2. Been used with incompatible products.
3. Been operated under abnormal conditions or in an unintended manner.
4. Not been operated or maintained in accordance with Seller’s instructions.
5. Been subject to misuse or abuse, negligent handling, improper installation, accident, damage by fire, flood, water or
other liquid damage, abnormal electrical condition and/or power surge, earthquake, or other act of God.
6. Had serial numbers altered, defaced or removed.
7. Been operated beyond capacity.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THIS WARRANTY AND THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE
AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN,
STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY
AND ALL STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND WARRANTIES AGAINST HIDDEN OR LATENT
DEFECTS. IF SELLER CANNOT LAWFULLY DISCLAIM STATUTORY OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES THEN TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL SUCH WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS
EXPRESS WARRANTY AND TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT SERVICE AS DETERMINED BY SELLER IN ITS SOLE
DISCRETION. This statement sets forth the full extent of Seller’s liability for breach of any warranty or deficiency in
connection with the sale or use of the product. No employee, representative or reseller of Seller is authorized to change this
warranty in any way or grant any other warranty.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THIS WARRANTY AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR CONDITION, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF USE;
LOSS OF REVENUE; LOSS OF ACTUAL OR ANTICIPATED PROFITS (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS ON CONTRACTS); LOSS
OF THE USE OF MONEY; LOSS OF ANTICIPATED SAVINGS; LOSS OF BUSINESS; LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY; LOSS OF
GOODWILL; LOSS OF REPUTATION; LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO OR CORRUPTION OF DATA; OR ANY INDIRECT OR
CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGE HOWSOEVER CAUSED INCLUDING THE REPLACEMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND
PROPERTY, AND ANY COSTS OF RECOVERING, PROGRAMMING, OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED OR
USED WITH SELLER PRODUCTS.
CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS. FOR CONSUMERS WHO ARE COVERED BY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAWS OR
REGULATIONS IN THEIR COUNTRY OF PURCHASE OR, IF DIFFERENT, THEIR COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE, THE BENEFITS
CONFERRED BY THIS WARRANTY ARE IN ADDITION TO ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CONVEYED BY SUCH CONSUMER
PROTECTION LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Some countries, states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages or exclusions or limitations on the duration of implied warranties or conditions, so the

Need following:
• Pallet jack and/or forklift

• Official test weight in the range of 50-150 pounds (25-70 kg)
A power strip (not included) is recommended for turning power off and on.
NOTE
Placement
The CubiScan 150-T is equipped with casters, which allow it to be moved

short distances or repositioned. However, because the CubiScan needs to
be level for proper operation, you should place it in or near its permanent
location prior to assembly and leveling.
The CubiScan 150-T is designed to be operated in a warehouse

environment; however, for proper operation the following conditions
should be met if possible.
• Do not subject the CubiScan to extremes in temperature or humidity.

Locate the CubiScan as far from open freight doors as possible. Heaters
or air conditioners should not blow directly on the CubiScan, as this will
cause interference with the scale.
• Protect the CubiScan from static electricity, especially the touchscreen.
CubiScan 150-T 5
Setup Adjusting the Platform Height
• Place the CubiScan on a flat, sturdy surface as free from vibration as

possible. Excess vibration can reduce the accuracy of the CubiScan
150-T scale.
• The CubiScan’s platform is free-floating—it is resting on a spring (load
cell). Maintain a minimum of one-inch clearance at the back and sides of
the CubiScan. Do not rest objects against or set objects on the CubiScan
when not in use.
• If a computer is being used, place it as close to the CubiScan as possible.
The operator needs to use the keyboard or mouse on the computer while
cubing and weighing packages using the CubiScan 150-T. The CubiScan
150-T’s optional laptop tray arm offers an optimum location for a laptop
(“Installing the Laptop Tray Arm” on page 17).
Adjusting the Platform Height
The CubiScan 150-T platform is initially set at the lowest possible height.
Slotted adjustment holes in the frame legs provide virtually infinite
adjustment within the height range. Because the main CubiScan assembly
is heavy (430 lb), you need to use a forklift (recommended) or pallet jack to
support and lift the main assembly to adjust the height of the platform. If
help is available, one or two people can lift one end of the CubiScan by its
handle while you adjust the legs. Then repeat this operation on the other
end.
CAUTION connections.

open-end wrench or socket.
It is recommended that you have one person positioned on each side of the
NOTE CubiScan platform to remove and replace the retaining bolts and help align the
adjustment holes.
6. With the retaining bolts removed, raise or lower the frame slowly until
the adjustment holes in the leg and the frame are aligned at the desired
height.
7. When the desired height is achieved, push the retaining bolts through
the slotted holes in the frame and leg. There should always be at least
two openings that the bolts will pass through. If possible, place the bolts
with at least one slot between them as shown in Figure 4.
8. Thread the nuts on the bolts and tighten them.
9. Lower the frame, and back the forklift away from the CubiScan.
Using a Pallet Jack

Take the following steps when using a pallet jack to support and lift the
main assembly of the CubiScan to adjust the platform height.
1. Using pallets and/or dimensional lumber, construct a flat and stable

platform with which to lift the CubiScan frame. The platform must be
nearly as high as the bottom of the CubiScan main frame.
2. With the pallets and lumber in place, approach the CubiScan from the
front with the pallet jack, and position the jack so it is under the
CubiScan’s main horizontal frame.
3. Make certain that the wooden platform is even and stable.
4. Move the pallet jack into place and lift it until the wooden platform
comes into contact with the bottom of the CubiScan frame, but do not
lift the CubiScan.
CubiScan 150-T 9
5. Locate the retaining bolts and slotted adjustment holes in the frame
legs (see Figure 5).
Figure 5
Platform Retaining Bolts and Adjustment Holes
6. Apply gentle lift with the pallet jack until enough pressure is removed
from the eight retaining bolts so that they can be removed.

Operation
This chapter provides instructions for operating the CubiScan 150-T.
The platform of the CubiScan should be kept clean and free of objects that are not
NOTE being measured.
You should verify that the CubiScan 150-T is weighing correctly at the start
of each session. To perform a simple check of weight accuracy, measure
something with a known weight (i.e., 25 or 50 lb test weight). If the weight
shown is off by an unacceptable amount, recalibrate the scale (see Chapter
5 “Calibration” on page 40 for details).
While the CubiScan has overload protection, objects heavier than 150 lb (70 kg)
should not be placed on the platform. Overloading the scale or shock loading
CAUTION (dropping a heavy object on the scale) can cause permanent zero shift, making
the scale inoperable.
Before You Begin
Follow the procedures below to turn on the CubiScan. The CubiScan should
be turned on before you start Qbit (if applicable).
1. Make sure there are no packages or objects on the CubiScan platform.
2. Turn on the CubiScan 150-T via the power strip. The CubiScan
performs self-calibration and diagnostic procedures that take about five
seconds. Do not touch the CubiScan platform during these five seconds.
Do not lean on or touch the CubiScan platform or the package while a package is
NOTE being cubed and weighed. Any kind of contact with the platform during the
measurement process can alter the weight or sensor reading.
You should occasionally verify that the zero settings on the CubiScan are correct.
NOTE To do this, take a measurement with nothing on the scale and see if all values
recorded are zero. The CubiScan’s empty weight and measurements can be reset
CubiScan 150-T 28

object on the platform will be displayed on the screen.
Take the following steps to cube and weigh a package using the touchscreen
to control the CubiScan.
1. Verify that the CubiScan platform is empty. The ->0<- indicator should
be lit, and 0.00 should be displayed in the Wgt= field. Except for the
Factor field, the rest of the display should be clear.
2. Place the package or object to be cubed and weighed on the platform

against the front edge of the platform. The ->0<- indicator light should
go out.
The package must be within the black lines on either side of the
CubiScan 150-T, and it must extend at least one inch on each side from
the center of the measuring side of the front panel (minimum package
dimensions of 3 x 2.4 x 2.4 in (8 x 6 x 6 cm) for the sensors to properly
register the dimensions.
Do not lean on or touch the CubiScan platform or the package while a package is

If the ->0<- does not light, it means that the scale needs to be zeroed. To
zero the scale, make sure that the platform is free of all objects, then press
Zero.
Measuring Odd-Shaped Packages
The CubiScan 150-T is designed to measure dimensions on “cube-like”

packages (packages that are square or rectangular) with a distinct width,
length, and height. Packages that have odd shapes or irregular surfaces may
be measured using the CubiScan 150-T; however, the dimensions will be
determined by the closest straight edge or corner and may not accurately
represent the actual width, height, and length of the package.
When measuring objects with irregular or porous surfaces that do not

reliably reflect sound, it may be necessary to place a rigid sheet of plastic or
metal against the irregular side or sides so the sensors can record the
dimensions. For example, when measuring books, a rigid sheet should be
placed against the paper edge of the books.
If rigid sheets are used when measuring objects, tare values should be entered to
NOTE compensate for the thickness and weight of the sheet. Set tare values using the
Options function on the Tools menu of Qbit (refer to the Qbit User Guide).
Zeroing the CubiScan 150-T
Tap the [Zero] button on the touchscreen to “zero” the CubiScan 150-T (set
all empty measurements and weight to zero). The weight of the platform
and the measurement from each sensor to the platform sides when the
platform is empty must be set to zero for the CubiScan 150-T to operate
properly.The CubiScan 150-T tries to zero itself automatically every five
seconds when it is not in the Measure mode. However, you may need to use
this option in the following circumstances.
• If, during a long measuring session, environmental conditions

(temperature and humidity) have changed noticeably.

Chapter 5
Calibration
This chapter provides instructions for calibrating the CubiScan 150-T. The
CubiScan 150-T is calibrated at the factory; however, some circumstances
in which recalibration may be required include the following:
• Calibrate the CubiScan 150-T if you have problems cubing and weighing
after assembly and setup.
• Calibrate the CubiScan if it is subjected to any type of mechanical shock
or collision with a heavy object.
• Calibrate the CubiScan as part of a regular maintenance schedule. If the
CubiScan is used heavily, scale calibration should be performed monthly
and sensor calibration yearly. It should not be necessary to calibrate
daily or even weekly. It is suggested that you implement a regular audit
(daily or weekly) of weight and dimensions using a test weight, or
something of known weight near 25 pounds, and the calibration cube.
• Calibrate the CubiScan if it is zeroed and the weight or dimensions are
outside the specified limits.
If an error message appears during calibration, power the CubiScan off and back
NOTE on and start calibration over (refer to Chapter 5 “Calibration” for more
information).
Before You Begin
Before calibrating the CubiScan 150-T, remove all packages or other

material from the platform, and blow any dust off the sensor screens. Refer
to page 49 for information on cleaning the sensors.
All controls and displays for the CubiScan 150-T are located on the
touchscreen at the front of the base. For information on the controls and
indicators, refer to “Cubing and Weighing Using the Touchscreen” on
page 29.
If you want to calibrate using Qbit, refer to the Qbit User’s Guide.

Maintenance
This chapter provides information on the care and maintenance of the

CubiScan 150-T. Routine maintenance and careful handling will help keep
the CubiScan 150-T in good operating condition and prevent service calls or
repairs.
Precautions
The CubiScan should not be subjected to extremes in temperature or

humidity, nor should it be subjected to excessive vibration. For
environmental recommendations, see “Placement” on page 5.
Do not put packages on the platform that are known to be over 150 pounds
(70 kg). All objects, especially heavy ones, should be placed on the platform
gently. Shock loading will occur if an object is dropped or thrown onto the
platform. This puts unnecessary and potentially damaging pressure on the
load cell.
The CubiScan has been designed to accept overload without damage.

However, rough handling and abuse, over time, can cause the load cell to
lose much of its spring action. In addition, severe shock loading can cause
permanent zero shift, making the scale inoperable.
Cleaning the Sensors
The sensors should be kept clean. While dust normally won’t interfere with
sensor operation, they should be cleaned routinely to prevent the
possibility of interference. To clean, gently blow dust from the gold foil
surface.
CubiScan 150-T 49
Maintenance Removing the Controller Box
The gold foil screen on the front of the sensor is delicate. Do not use high
CAUTION pressure air or water lines to clean the surface of the gold foil and do not touch it
with fingers, tools, or brushes. Doing so may result in damage.
Removing the Controller Box
If you suspect a problem with the CubiScan 150-T controller, first review
Chapter 7 “Troubleshooting” on page 54 and take any recommended
action. If the problem persists, contact Quantronix Technical Assistance at

Appendix A
Communications Protocol
This appendix contains the cable pin assignments and command set
description for the interface between the CubiScan 150-T and a host
computer via a serial RS-232 or USB connection as well as for the interface
between the CubiScan 150-T and a network via an Ethernet TCP/IP
connection.
“CubiScan 150-T Command Set” on page 70 lists the commands in the

CubiScan 150-T command set used for cubing and weighing and to set up
the CubiScan 150-T for cubing and weighing. “CubiScan 150-T Command
Set” on page 70 lists the commands used to set up the CubiScan 150-T for
TCP/IP communications with a network.
Serial (RS-232-C) Cable Pin Assignments
The CubiScan 150-T serial ports use the EIA RS-232-C communications
protocol. The data is serially transmitted ASCII characters.
The following table shows the serial connector pin assignments. All other
pins are not connected.

It is configured as a communications device class (or USB CDC). The device

attaches, on the USB side, to an RS-232 communications line and the
computer operating system. This makes the USB device appear as a
traditional RS-232 port.
Barcode Port
The Scanner/Barcode port can be enabled in the menus of the main

controller. The Expanded Communication Protocol is utilized when it is
enabled.
The barcode reader should be configured to send the barcode with a suffix
of <LF>.The CubiScan uses the “End of Barcode” character as an indicator
that the barcode has been scanned in its entirety. Scanned barcodes are
transmitted with the next “Measure” command. If two barcodes are
scanned and then a measurement is taken, the most recent barcode will be
transmitted. If one barcode is scanned and then two measurements are
taken, the first measurement will contain the barcode while the second
measurement will contain no data for the barcode.
LFT (Sealed)
The CubiScan is placed into LFT mode by moving two sided Switches to the
“ON” position. This seals metrological parameters.
Long Term Storage (Alibi Memory)
The long term storage is always enabled. A SD card must be installed in the
main controller. This causes the CubiScan to write all measurement
CubiScan 150-T 69
Communications Protocol CubiScan 150-T Command Set
transactions to the SD card, where they are stored until they expire. The
long term storage may be queried at any time.
CubiScan 150-T Command Set
This section describes the commands recognized by the CubiScan 150-T to

cube and weigh packages and to set up the CubiScan 150-T for cubing and
weighing (dimension units, factor toggle, calibration, zero, and so on).
All command packets begin with an STX (start of text) and end with a LF
(line feed). Each command has a Command field and an optional Data
field. For example:
<STX><COMMAND><DATA><ETX><CR><LF>
All commands receive either an Acknowledge response (ACK), or a

Negative Acknowledge response (NACK). An ACK has an “A” in the third
character position and may include a data field. A NACK has an “N” in the
third character position, indicating that an error occurred. For example:
ACK: <STX><COMMAND><A><DATA><ETX><CR><LF>
NACK: <STX><COMMAND><N><ETX><CR>
The CubiScan 150-T responds with a question mark NACK to any

unrecognized command. For example:
<STX><?><N><ETX><CR><LF>
When a NACK is sent by the CubiScan 150-T, the operation associated with
that command is aborted due to the error.
The CubiScan 150-T recognizes the following commands from the

command set for both a serial, USB, and Ethernet connection.
