1 INTENDED USE
Cole-Parmer® PB-350 Series precision scales enable fast and accurate mass measurements under
laboratory and industrial conditions. The devices are equipped with an internal battery which
allows their operation in places where there is no access to the mains. The PB-350 Series features
a stainless-steel weighing pan, and a backlit LCD guaranteeing clear weighing result presentation.
2 PRECAUTIONS
Prior to installation, use or maintenance activities, carefully read this user manual and follow the
provided guidelines.
Prior to the first use, carefully read this user manual. Use the weighing device only as
intended.
Place weighed loads in the center of the weighing pan.
Load the weighing pan with loads of gross weight which does not exceed the maximum
capacity.
Do not leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for longer periods of time.
Protect the indicator against considerable temperature variation, solar and UV radiation,
substances causing chemical reactions.
The PB-350 scale must not be operated in hazardous areas endangered with
explosion of gases, and in dusty environments.
In case of damage, immediately unplug the device from the mains.
Scales to be decommissioned must be decommissioned in accordance with valid legal
regulations.
Do not let battery discharge in case of prolonged storage of the device in low
temperature.
Accumulators do not belong to regular household waste. The European legislation
requires discharged accumulators to be collected and disposed separately from other
communal waste with the aim of being recycled. Symbols on batteries identify harmful
compounds: Pb = lead, Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury. Dear user, you are obliged to
dispose of the worn out batteries as regulated.
If the scale is to be operated in conditions that are difficult due to electrostatics (e.g.
printing house, packing center, etc.), you must connect it to the earth wire. To enable this,
the device features functional earthing terminal, marked with symbol.

2.1 Accumulator / Battery Pack
The device connected to mains power monitors the battery state and charges it if possible. After
sudden lack of power supply from the mains the device automatically switches to accumulator
without breaking operation.
Cole-Parmer PB-350 scales (20kg and below capacity) are devices designed to be supplied
from SLA accumulators (Sealed lead acid type) 6V and capacity 3 to 4Ah charged while
connected to mains without stopping operation.
A worn
-out battery can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by the authorized
service.
Caution:
Some symbols on accumulators identify harmful elements/compounds: Pb = lead,
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury.
2.2 Operation in a Strong Electrostatic Field
Connect it to the clamp terminal signed .
2.3 Maintenance Activities
It is necessary to uninstall the weighing pan and other detachable components prior
to cleaning the balance, this guarantees safety.
Cleaning the weighing pan while still installed may cause
damage of the measuring system.
Cleaning ABS components
To clean dry surfaces and avoid smudging, use clean non-coloring cloths made of cellulose or
cotton. You can use a solution of water and detergent (soap, dishwashing detergent, glass
cleaner). Gently rub the cleaned surface and let it dry. Repeat cleaning process if needed.
Cleaning stainless steel components
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach (containing chlorine). Do not
use abrasive substances. Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to avoid damage of
protective coating.
In case of a daily maintenance:
2. For best results, add a little dishwashing detergent.

3
Cleaning powder-coated components
For the preliminary cleaning stage, you need a wet sponge featuring large holes, this will
help you to remove loose, heavy dirt.
Do not use cleansers containing abrasive substances.
Next using cloth and cleanser-water solution (soap, dishwashing liquid) gently rub the cleaned
surface.
Avoid using cleanser without water since it may result in damage of the cleaned surface, please
note that large amount of water mixed with cleanser is a must.
3 WARRANTY CONDITIONS
A. Cole-Parmer is obliged to repair or change those elements that appear to be faulty because
of.production and construction reason,
B. Defining defects of unclear origin and outlining methods
of elimination, can be settled only in participation of a user and the manufacturer
representatives,
C. Cole-Parmer does not take any responsibility connected with destructions or losses derives
from non-authorized or inappropriate (not adequate to manuals) production or service
procedures,
D. Warranty does not cover:
• Mechanical failures caused by inappropriate maintenance of the device or failures of
thermal or chemical origin or caused by atmospheric discharge, over voltage in mains, or
other random event,
• Inappropriate cleaning.
E. Loss of warranty appears after:
• Access by an unauthorized service
• Intrusion into mechanical or electronic construction of, unauthorized
people
• Removing or destroying protection stickers.
4 UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Models: PB-350-1000(i), PB-350-2000(i), PB-350-6000(i), PB-350-10000, PB-350-20000
• Unpack and put the scale on a flat even stable surface far away from sources of heat,
• Install the weight pan according to the drawing below:

4
5 GETTING STARTED
• After unpacking and mounting the scale, level the scale. Adjust the leveling feet until the
leveling bubble reaches the correct location.
Turn the device on using the key – keep pressing the key for about 0.5 sec
• Wait for the test completion

6 BALANCE LEVELING
• Operation temperature range for this device is outlined as
+15oC to +30oC;
• After powering up this device requires 30 minute warming up
• During the warm-up time the indication can change
• User calibration should be performed after the warm-uptime.
• Temperature and humidity changes during operation can increase measurement errors, which
can be minimized by performing the user calibration process.
