3.4 LOCATING AND PROTECTING YOUR BALANCE
In order to keep your balance functioning at its best we suggest that you do the
following:
A
void extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near
air conditioning vents.
Make sure the balance
is located on a strong table and free from
vibration.
Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity
such as wel
ding equipment or large motors. Do not let the balance
battery go flat –
if you are not using it for a long time you should charge
the battery up periodically to make sure the battery does not lose its
charge. When you turn off the scale by pressing [ON/OFF] key, the
power is not completely isolated. You should disconnect the power
supply if it is not going to be used for an extended period.
Keep free from vibration. Do not place near heavy or vibrating
machinery.
Avoid high humidity that might c
ause condensation. Keep away from
direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the balance in
water.
Protection Grade: IPX0
Do not place near open windows, air-
conditioning vents or fans that
may cause a draft and unstable readings.
Keep the balance clean. Do not stack material on the balance / balance
pan when it is not in use.
The Highland has a stacking feature for
stacking more than one unit on top of each other which does not apply
weight to the pan. For more details on this see the section on storing.
Avoid operating in high static areas, or weighing high static materials,
such as plastics or powders, as this may damage electronics and affect
measurements. Use grounding mats or
bonding straps to reduce
potential

3.5 STORING WHEN NOT IN USE
If you have any of the HighlandTM series or Core BalanceTM lines you can store them
easily on top of each other. To save space and protect them from damage.
Without Shield With Shield
Note: Only models equipped with a ø 4.7” / 120mm pan, can be stacked for storage.
Core (CQT) models with the larger ø 5.7” / 145mm may be stacked at the top of the
pile but other balances should NOT be stacked on top of them due to the larger pan
size.

4.0 BASIC OPERATION
4.1 TURNING ON THE BALANCE
Plug in the unit using the DC adapter or use the internal rechargeable battery. It is
recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours before first use.
1) To turn on press the [on/off] key once and release. The balance will show the
capacity and the software revision, and then self-test before showing zero on
the display and the stable sign.
2) The balance is now ready to be used.
3) To turn the balance off after use, press the [on/off] key again. There is an
auto power-off function that will automatically turn the unit off if not used for
a period of time, this can be set in the parameters section.
If an error is shown while turning on the balance check that the pan is fitted
correctly and that there is no weight on the pan or the internal calibration weight
(not approved models) has not been left in the calibrate position. Move the lever all
the way to the left. Turn off the balance and turn it back on again.
4.2 ZEROING /TARE
You can press the [->0/T<-] key to set a new zero point and show the zero reading if
the weight reading is less than 4% of the total of the maximum capacity of the
balance (+/- 2% for approved models). This may be necessary if the weight reading is
not reading zero with nothing on the pan. The zero indicator will show up in the
upper left corner of the LCD.
If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and
press the [->0/T<-] key. Providing the container weight is more than 4% of the
maximum capacity of the balance (+/- 2% for approved models), the digits will show
zero and NET will light up on the display. You can then weigh your sample in the
container. Taring weight subtracts from the total balance capacity.
Note: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown
equivalent to the total value of the amount tared (Except on
approved models). The balance will not tare a value for a container unless the

stability light indicates that the weight is stable thus ensuring a correct taring
function
4.3WEIGHING
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container (if used), then
place the sample in the container. The display will show the weight of the sample
and the unit of weight currently in use. The stable indicator will light when the
reading is stable.
4.4WEIGHING UNITS
To change the weighing units, press [Mode] to cycle through the options of units
that are enabled. See Parameters 6.1 Enabling Weighing Units, to enable or disable
the weighing units.
Weighing Units on approved models = g , Kg, ct
