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.

USER MANUAL 11
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8. Preparing scale to work
Initial actions:
1. Remove from the box safely all the elements.
Attention: Keep the original box and inserts. In future it will be need to securely send the
balance.
2. Put the balance on stable surface.
3. Mount (screw in) 4 metal columns to balance.
4. Put upper frame and screw 4 mounting tap bolts.
5. Slide in glass walls according to picture below:
End actions:

12 USER MANUAL
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Place the scale on a stable ground not affected
by mechanical vibrations and airflows.
2. Level the scale using rotating legs 6so that the
air bubble in water level 7at the back of the scale is in
the middle.
3. Put metal floor 4in the weighing chamber.
4. Put secure ring 3
5. Gently put pan plate 2 into mechanism hole and
put pan cover 1
6. Plug in supplier to 12V socket on the back of the
balance
Scale should be transported in the way, that there is no risk of accidental pressing or
overweighing a pan.
If the scale was taken from a lower temperature surrounding to a room with higher
temperature, e.g. in winter, moisture can liquefy on the scale casing. Do not connect power
supply to the scale, because this can cause damage or improper work of the scale. In this
case leave the scale for at least 4 hours unplugged for acclimatization.

9. Balance start
Plug feeder into ~230V power supply socket.
When the pan is empty plug feeder output
connector into 12V socket at back of the scale.
Autotests and internal calibration will be
performed.
Autotest of balance display.
(autotests of internal electronic elements C1:8
displayed only when any test result is negative)
Showing scale program version.
Internal calibration –about 1 minute (press key
if You want to terminate calibration)
Ready to work.
It is recommended that before you start measuring the internal temperature is stable. For this to happen,
the balance should remain turned on for at least 2 hours. To maintain the accuracy of the balance it is not
recommended to turn off the power.

10. Weighing with tare
Balance indication should be readout when the
weighing chamber is closed and the result is
stable.
Zero indication and  0  indicator mean that
the scale is ready to work.
After putting container (package) tare the scale
using  T  key. NET indicator will show up.
Put on weighted object and readout net weight
(NET indicator shows that scale indicates net
weight).
In order to readout gross weight press key
(B/G indicator shows that scale indicates gross
weight). Press again key in order to come
back to net indications.

11. Scale menu
All scales except for basic metrological functions: weighing and taring, have many special functions and
configuration options.
In order to ease using functions user can create
his own (personalized) menu.
Creating personalized menu:
In „out of the box” scale after pressing MENU
key only SEtuP option (it contains all
configuration options) is available.
One of the configuration options is Menu that is
used to create personalized menu.
To add a function to personalized menu press
 T  key when the function is indicating.
Chosen function is indicated with „o” sign on the
left side of display.
After adding all necessary functions press out
in order to come back to weighing mode. User
now after pressing MEnu key has access to
selected earlier functions and to SEtuP option.
dEFAULt option is used to set factory settings

12. Menu navigation rules
Choosing menu options:
Scale menu shows up after pressing Menu key.
First menu position is displayed for about 10
seconds. After 10 seconds successive menu
positions are displayed automatically.
Choosing menu position (option) is done by
pressing  T  key when it is displayed on the
screen.
After choosing position (option) usually several
options show up:
on –turning on selected option,
OFF - turning off,
out –out to menu.
Accelerated working with menu:
First menu position is displayed for about 10s.
User can change menu positions manually by
pressing key.
Immediate out to previous menu level is done
by using Menu key.

During standard weighing  key is used to
switch between net and gross indication.
When special function e.g. PCS is turned on,
using  key enables to go back to standard
weighing mode.
Sign „o” on the left side signalizes that special
function is turned on and user can go back to
function mode by pressing  key.
Inscribing numerical values:
Inscribing numerical values is needed in some
special functions e.g. tArE function requires to
inscribe tare values.
Keys:
- decimal point,
 T  - next digit position,
- increasing digit inscribed value (use also
0),
