USER MANUAL 3

1. General description
ATN and ATE series electronic balances are destined for laboratory works which require high accuracy.
ATN balances have LCD display and internal calibration, which corrects weighing precision during
exploitation. ATE series are not equipped with internal calibration system.
SPEEd option enables to change weighing speed that allows to adjust the balance to working conditions.
In particular, if user chooses FASt speed setting then small weight portion batching for eg. in pharmacy is
possible.
All scales are metrologically tested by manufacturer.
All balances can have legal verification (except ATE) or be calibrated by laboratory with PCA accreditation.
According to an order balances can be calibrated.
NACE classification: 33.20.31.
2. Set
Standard set consists of:
1. Balance
2. Pan plate, Decorative pan
3. Pan cover
4. Metal floor
5. Feeder

3. Safety rules
It is necessary to follow safety rules of work with the scale shown
below. Obeying those rules is the condition to avoid electrical shock or
damage of the scale or connected peripheral devices.
All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only.
To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (if feeder is supplied with the scale) and
supply voltage has to be compatible with specified technical data.
Do not use the scale when its cover is opened.
Do not use the scale in explosive conditions.
Do not use the scale in high humidity environment.
If the scale seems not to operate properly, switch it off and do not use until checked by
authorised service.
According to current acts of low about protection of natural
environment, wasted scales should not be put into waste containers
together with ordinary waste.
Wasted scale after operation period can be delivered to units authorized for gathering wasted
electronic devices or to the place where it was bought.

7. Preparing working environment
+18°C
+33°C
Location for the scale should be chosen with care in order to limit influence of the factors that can interrupt
working scale. This location has to maintain proper temperature for working scale and necessary space for
its operating. The scale should stay on stable table made of material that does not influence magnetically
on the scale.
Rapid air blasts, vibrations, dust, rapid temperature changes or air humidity over 90% are not allowed in
scale surrounding. The scale should be far from heat sources and devices emitting strong electromagnetic
or magnetic fields.
