EPOS scale support
CAS SP1 commercial EPOS scale
The CAS SP1 was a price-computing commercial scale used around food retail, convenience, grocery and counter-service environments. This page helps existing users review the scale specification, EPOS connection options and sensible replacement planning for 2026.
CAS SP1 with EPOS workflows
The CAS SP1 product information describes a price-computing scale with rechargeable battery options, VFD or LED display variants, RS-232C interface option, kg/lb switching and capacity bands of 6kg, 15kg and 30kg.
Where a scale is connected to an EPOS workflow, the important point is compatibility. The scale, till software, receipt printer, labels, product setup and legal metrology requirements all need to be checked before any replacement or configuration change.
CAS SP1 specification highlights
- 6kg x 0.002kg capacity/resolution option.
- 15kg x 0.005kg capacity/resolution option.
- 30kg x 0.01kg capacity/resolution option.
- VFD display variants and LED display variant noted in source material.
- Display digits for total price, weight and unit price.
- Rechargeable battery options for supported variants.
- Charging time around 9 to 10 hours depending on variant.
- Operating time around 10 to 12 hours for VFD variants and up to 25 hours for SP-BL in source material.
- RS-232C interface option for connected workflows.
- Platter size noted as 372mm wide by 278mm deep.
What to check before using or replacing a scale
Commercial weighing is more sensitive than a normal till accessory. Before connecting, replacing or reusing a CAS SP1, confirm the scale model, capacity, display type, calibration condition, interface cable, communication settings and how weighed items are configured inside the EPOS software.
Businesses should also check the legal-for-trade position with a qualified supplier or relevant authority where goods are sold by weight. EPOS Company can help with the EPOS workflow and compatibility discussion, but compliance and calibration should be confirmed through the proper scale service route.
Operational checklist for weighed-item sales
Scale setup
Confirm the capacity, graduation, display type, battery condition, mains adapter, platter condition and whether the interface option is fitted before planning an EPOS connection.
Product data
Weighted products need clear names, departments, unit prices, VAT settings where relevant and staff guidance so counter sales remain consistent.
Connection route
RS-232C workflows depend on the correct cable, port settings, communication format and till configuration. These details should be checked before assuming compatibility.
Service risk
If the scale is slow, inconsistent, difficult to calibrate or no longer supported, plan the scale, EPOS and staff workflow together rather than replacing one part in isolation.
How a commercial scale fits ECTouch
Food retail
Greengrocers, delis, butchers, bakeries and convenience stores may need weighed-item workflows linked to product setup and receipt printing.
Interface checks
Scale integration depends on the interface, cable, protocol, EPOS configuration and whether the scale output can be read reliably by the till setup.
Product setup
Weighted products need clear departments, PLUs, unit prices, VAT treatment where relevant and staff training so counter sales remain accurate.
Replacement planning
If the scale is unreliable, unsupported or unsuitable for current workflows, replacement planning should cover hardware, calibration, EPOS setup and staff processes together.
Useful next steps
Before asking for EPOS support, collect the scale model plate, capacity, display type, interface cable details, current till model, software version and a photo of the weighing workflow. This makes it easier to confirm whether the existing scale can remain in use or whether a newer compatible scale should be considered.
