3.4LOCATINGANDPROTECTINGYOURBALANCE

Inordertokeepyourbalancefunctioningatitsbestwesuggestthatyoudothe
following:

Avoid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welding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.

Keepfreefromvibration.Donotplacenearheavyor
vibratingmachinery.

Avoidhighhumiditythatmightcausecondensation.
Keepawayfromdirectcontactwithwater.Donot
sprayorimmersethebalanceinwater.

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.

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.



Note:Onlymodelsequippedwithaø4.7”/120mmpan,canbestackedforstorage.
Coremodelswiththelargerø5.7”/145mmmaybestackedatthetopofthepile

4.0BASICOPERATION
4.1TURNINGONTHEBALANCE
PlugintheunitusingtheAC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
softwarerevisionandthecapacitythenself‐testbeforeshowingzeroonthe
displayandthestablesign.
2) Thebalanceis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theinternalcalibration
weight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[Tare]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.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[Tare]key.Providingthecontainerweightismorethan4%ofthe
maximumcapacityofthebalance,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.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.


4.4WEIGHING
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.
4.5WEIGHING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.

5.0FUNCTIONS
5.1PERCENTAGEWEIGHING
Thebalancewillallowareferenceweighttobeshownas100%.Thenanyother
weightplacedonthebalancewillbedisplayedasapercentageoftheoriginal
sample.
1) Placeyourweightonthebalance.
2) Pressthe[%]key.Theweightwillbedisplayedas100.00%.
3) Removetheweightandplaceyournextsampleonthebalance.Thenew
readingwillbeshownasapercentageofthefirstvalue/referenceused.
4) Pressingthe[%]keyagainwillreturnthebalancetonormalweighing.
Note:Thebalancemayjumpbylargenumbersunexpectedlyifsmallweightsare
usedtosetthe100%level.Forexample,ifonly23.5gisonabalancewith0.5g
incrementsandthebalanceissetto100%,thedisplaywillshow100.00%.However,
asmallchangeofweightwillcausethedisplaytojumpto102.13%,asonebalance
division(0.5g)increaseto24.0gwillbeequivalenttoa2.13%increase.
5.2PARTSCOUNTING
Partscountingletsyoucountsmallpartsthatareofequalweight,quicklyandeasily.
Todothisyoumustfirstsetyoursamplebytellingthebalancehowmanypartsyou
have.
1) Placeyourcontaineronthebalanceandpressthe[Tare]keyasdescribedin
4.2Zeroing/Taresection.Thiswillremovetheweightofthecontainerfrom
yourcount.
2) Whenthebalanceisinnormalweighingmodewiththeinitialquantityonthe
balance,pressthe[Smpl]keytostartthepartscountingfunction.
3) Theinitialnumberofsamplesshouldmatchtheoptionsforpartscounting,
10,20,50,100or200pieces.
4) ThebalancewillinitiallyshowSP 10askingforasamplesizeof10parts.
Press[Mode]tocyclethroughtheoptions:10,20,50,100,200andbackto10
toselectthesampleyouhaveplacedonthebalance.
11|Page©AdamEquipmentCompany2008

5) Press[Smpl]againonceyouhaveselectedthesample.Thedisplaywillshow
youthenumber.Asmorepartsareaddedthedisplaywillshowthetotal
numberofparts(PCS–willbeshowninthealpha‐numericdisplay).
6) Bypressingthe[Mode]keyyoucanviewtheunitweight(W/P),totalweight
(g)orthecount(PCS).Thetotalandtheunitweightareshowninthecurrent
weighingunits.
7) Press[Smpl]toreturntonormalweighing.
5.3ACCUMULATION
Therearetwotypesofaccumulations–automaticandmanual.
AutomaticAccumulationManualAccumulation
Whenthebalanceissetforautomatic
accumulation,seeParameters6.3
SettingthePrinterParameters/
Accumulation,theweightwillbeadded
tothememorywhenthebalance
becomesstable.
Whenthebalanceissettomanual
accumulation,seeParameters6.3
SettingthePrinterParameters/
Accumulation,theweightdisplayedwill
onlybestoredinmemoryoncethe
[Print]keyispressedandtheweightis
stable.
1) Placetheweightonthebalance.Ifautomaticthenthebalancewill
automaticallyaccumulatetheweight.Ifsettomanualthenyouwillneedto
pressthe[Print]key.
2) ThedisplaywillshowACC 1followedbythetotalvalueinthememoryfor2
secondsbeforereturningtodisplayingtheweightoftheitemonthebalance.
3) TheweightwillbetransmittedtoaprinterorPC.
4) Removetheweight,allowingthebalancetoreturntozero.
5) Putasecondweighton.Againifsettoautomaticitwillaccumulatetheweight
automatically.Alternativelypress[Print],thedisplaywillshowACC 2
followedbythenewtotalinthememoryfor2secondsbeforereturningto
displayingtheweightoftheitemonthebalance.
6) Continueuntilallweightshavebeenadded.
12|Page©AdamEquipmentCompany2008

Toviewthetotalsinmemorypressthe[Print]keywhenthebalanceisatzero.The
