5. Safety principles
It is necessary to become familiar with safety
principles shown below, which are necessary to avoid
electric shock and damage of balance or connected
devices.
Repairs and necessary adjustments must be performed by qualified
personnel only.
To avoid fire hazard, use only typical supply cable, and supply voltage
must be consistent with technical data.
For the balance supply use the socket with protective contact.
Do not use balance when the cover is removed.
Do not use balance in explosive atmosphere.
Do not use balance in locations with high humidity, when the cover does
not have special protections (NAN types).
In case of damage suspicion, switch the balance off and do not use it until
it is tested in professional service company.
6. Principles of user balance treatment
According to valid regulations regarding natural
environment protection do not place used electronic
devices in containers with common waste.
Used balance after operation period may be transferred to units authorized
for collection of used electronic equipment, or to place of purchase.

8INSTRUCTION MANUAL

7. Preparation to work
1. Unpack balance, removing protective
foils.
2. During transport overload protection in
some scales should be removed. In order
to do that, the scale should be put on a
side. Under the platform cut clamp bands
and remove inserts.
3. Place balance on stable foundation, in
place not subjected to mechanical
vibrations and strong air movements.
4. Using rotatable legs adjust scale level. Air
bubble in level should be located in the
middle position.
8. Operation principles
1. Stick from below the scale (under the pan) is used to grab the scale while it is
being lift.
2. Before each measurement the balance should be properly zeroed, which is
signalled by “” indicator. If the zero indication is not shown when the
balance is unloaded, or "----" is displayed, press the "  " key.
3. The balance enables tare setting in the whole measuring range. It is performed
by pressing "  T  " key.
4. In order to ease the process off mass control situated on the pan and to avoid
exceeding measurement range, scales with LCD display have load indicator
scaled 0÷100%.
5. The weighing result should be read during the " " indicator lighting, which
indicates the result stabilization.
6. When there is no weighing, but the balance should be ready for operation, it may
be switched off by I/ key. It causes the balance reading system deactivation
end entering the standby mode. Balance turning on is performed by pressing
" I/ " key.
7. Weighed mass should be placed in the platform centre.
8. Protect the balance from dust, aggressive dusts and liquids. For cleaning
purposes use water and dry it.
Do not overload the balance over 20% of maximum load.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9

9. Operation principles when the scale uses accumulator supply
1. The scale can be supplied ~230V through feeder available with the scale.
Moreover a set of accumulators (situated inside the scale) can be used to supply
the scale.
2. In order to extend accumulator working time, the scale switches off automatically
after 10 minutes if it is not used.
3. Charging is done automatically when the scale is supplied with a feeder. The
charge status can be readed using bAttErY function (option).
4. When the scale is not used but it is necessary to be ready to work immediately, it
can be switched off by pressing I/ key. The scale reading system is then switched
off to "standby" mode (signalled by the indicator "OFF" in version with the LCD
display). Charging is more effective when scale is turned off with I/ key, then
charging time is about 10 hours. To switch the scale on press I/ key. The scale is
immediately ready to operate maximum accuracy (after self tests).
Do not discharge completely an accumulator because it can
be damaged

10 INSTRUCTION MANUAL

10. Balance checking
It is advised to check scale indication accuracy before and after series of
measurement using any load with known weight.
To check the scale with legal verification use a calibration weight with valid
calibration certificate. In case permissible error is exceeded it is advised to contact
the nearest service to calibrate the scale.
11. Scale adjustment
To adjust a balance it is necessary to break protective marks, therefore
to calibrate the scale please contact the nearest service.
12. Connecting a computer, printer or label printer
The scale can be equipped with one or two serial interfaces RS232C, USB, LAN or Wi-Fi designed to
cooperate:
-with computer –the scale sends data after pressing key or after initiation signal from
computer,
-with printer - sending data after pressing key or automatically after putting on/off a sample
and measurement stabilization,
-with label printer –after pressing the scale sends set of instructions for label printer starting
from label number set in special funcion LabEL.
Set of send data is set using special function PrInt.
The following data can be send:
-Header (scale type, Max, d, e, serial number),
-Operator identification number,
-Successive printout number (measurement),
-Identification number or product bar code,
-Number of pcs (PCS function only),
-Single detail mass (PCS function only),
-Nett weight,
-Tare (package mass),
-Gross weight,
-Total mass (Total function only).
The way of sending data and transmission parameters is set using SErIAL special function.
If the scale is equipped with two serial joints (interfaces) Print and SErIAL function is set independently for
both interfaces.
