5 Set up
5.1 Unpacking the balance
E50S/3 balances are delivered in an environmentally-friendly package, specifically developed for this
precision instrument, which provides optimum protection for the balance during transportation.
NOTE
Retain the original packaging in order to avoid transportation damages when shipping or
transporting the balance and to allow the balance to be stored in the best conditions if it is out of
operation for an extended period.
In order to avoid damage, attention must be given to the following points when unpacking the balance:
 Unpack the balance carefully. It is a precision instrument.
 When outside temperatures are very low, the balance should first be stored for some hours in the
unopened transport package in a dry room at normal temperature, so that no condensation settles on the
balance when unpacking.
 Check the balance immediately after unpacking for externally visible damage. If you should find transport
damage, please inform your Gibertini Services representative immediately.
 If the balance is not to be used immediately after purchase but only at a later time, it should be stored in
a dry place where fluctuations in temperature are as low as possible. (see chapter 5.3 "Storage")
 Read through these operating instructions, even if you already have experience with Gibertini balances,
before you work with the balance and pay attention to the safety recommendations. (see chapter 6
"Safety")
5.2 Transport and shipping
Your balance is a precision instrument. Treat it with care.
Avoid shaking, severe impacts and vibration during the transportation.
Take care that there are no significant temperature fluctuations during the transportation and that the
balance does not become damp (condensation).
NOTE
The balance should preferably be dispatched and transported in the original packaging to avoid
transportation damage.
5.3 Storage
If you would like to take the balance out of service for an extended period, disconnect it from the electricity
supply, clean it thoroughly (see chapter 12.1 "Maintenance and servicing") and store it in a place that meets
the following conditions:
 No violent shaking, no vibrations
 No significant temperature fluctuations
 No direct solar radiation
 No moisture
NOTE
The balance should preferably be stored in the original packaging, since this provides optimum
protection for the balance.

5.4 Choosing a suitable location
The balance location must be chosen in such a way as to guarantee perfect operation of your balance, so
that the allowable ambient conditions and prerequisites are met and maintained:
 Put the balance on a solid, firm and preferably vibration-proof, horizontal base
 Make sure that the balance cannot be shaken or knocked over
 Protect from direct solar radiation
 Avoid drafts and excessive temperature fluctuations
NOTE
With difficult conditions (where the balance may be easily shaken or subject to vibration) the balance
can nevertheless provide accurate results through suitable adjustment of the stability control.
(see chapter 6.3.6 "Weighing mode")
5.5 Connecting the balance to the mains
The following safety recommendations must be observed when connecting the balance to the mains:
DANGER
The balance may only be operated with the power adaptor supplied.
Check before connecting the power adaptor to the mains supply that the operating voltage stated on
the on the balance or on the power adaptor agrees with the local mains voltage.
If the operating voltage is not the same as the mains voltage, the balance or the power adaptor must
on no account be connected to the mains supply. Contact the Customer Service.
5.6 Levelling
To function properly, the balance must be precisely horizontal.
The balance is fitted with one spirit level and two adjustable feet for level-control, with the aid of which it is
possible to compensate for small height differences and/or unevennesses in the surface on which the
balance is standing.
The two screw feet must be adjusted so that the air bubble is precisely in the centre of the sight glass of the
bubble level.
Inco
rrect
Correct
NOTE
In order to get exact measurements, the balance must again be carefully levelled after each
relocation.
5.7 Calibration of the balance
Since the Earth’s gravity is not the same everywhere, each balance must -in accordance with the underlying
physical weighing principle- be adjusted to compensate for the gravity at each location. This adjustment
process, known as “calibration”, must be carried out on initial installation and after each subsequent
relocation. In order to get exact measurements, it is recommended moreover that the balance should also be
calibrated periodically.
NOTE
The balance must be calibrated on initial installation and after every relocation. If you work in
accordance with “Good Laboratory Practice GLP” observe the prescribed intervals between
calibrations (adjustments).

Semi-micro balance Mod. E50S/3
Page 9 of 38
Calibration is proformed in the configuration menu. Depending on the balance model, this may be done
externally, internally or automatically. (see chapter 6.3.5 "Calibration functions" and see chapter 12.3
"Calibration")
With the aid of the “Intelligent Calibration Mode” the balance can itself determine the size of the calibration
weight, which enables an exact calibration with different size weights (in 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 500 g steps,
depending on implementation).
5.8 Dual Range
With the Dual Range balances, weighing is always first carried out in the fine range, which is 10 times more
precise. When the fine range is exceeded the balance switches automatically into the coarse range.
5.9 Standardized balance
Ask to the GIBERTINI Commercial Department.
5.10 Switching on the balance
 Press «ON/OFF» to switch on the balance.
The balance carries out a diagnostic test in order to check the most important functions. After completion
of the start-up process (approximately ten seconds) “Zero” appears in the display.
The balance is ready for operation and is in the Weighing mode.
5.11 Auto-Standby Mode
The balance is equipped with an Auto-Standby mode, which can be activated or deactivated in the
configuration menu.
If the Auto-Standby mode is activated, the balance automatically switches to Standby some time after the
last weighing or key operation (current-saving function).
The delay before switching to Standby is defined in the configuration menu. (see chapter 6.3.6 "Weighing
mode")
 Press any button or put on a weight in order to switch the balance from the Standby mode back to the
Weighing mode again.

With the aid of the Weighing mode functions, you may define the quality of the balance location. (see chapter
5.4 "Choosing a suitable location")
With the aid of the “AUTO-STANDBY” function, you can define the period of non-use before the balance
automatically switches into the energy-saving mode.
NOTE
The Auto-Standby function only works with the automatic zero-correction activated (“AUTO-ZERO”).
“FLOATINGDISPLAY”
The value set for “FLOATINGDISPLAY” defines the period after which each new measurement is displayed.
For the definition of this period, the quality of the balance location is crucial. The stability control must also
be set appropriately.
Recommended values:
Optimum balance location: “FLOATINGDISPLAY 0.08”
Good balance location: “FLOATINGDISPLAY 0.16”
Critical balance location: “FLOATINGDISPLAY 0.32”

NOTE
The value of the Floating Display is a function of the stability control and the balance location. For
balance location, see chapter 5.4 "Choosing a suitable location" and see chapter 6.3.6 "Weighing
mode".
“STABILITY”
The value set for the stability control depends on the quality of the balance location and must be correctly
chosen in order to obtain optimum, reproducible results. Choose:
Optimum balance location: “STABILITY HIGH”
Good balance location: “STABILITY MEDIUM”
Critical balance location: “STABILITY LOW”
“AUTO-STANDBY”
The Auto-Standby mode turns off the balance automatically, if:
 the balance is tared and has shown .Zero. for at least 5 minutes
 the balance has received no remote control command via the interface for at least 5 minutes,
 the automatic zero correction .AUTO-ZERO. is activated.
It is possible to re-start the balance after it has been switched off by an automatic Auto-Standby:
 Briefly press any key
 Put a weight on the balance
 Make a remote control command via the interface
“AUTO-ZERO”
If the automatic zero correction .AUTO-ZERO. is activated, the balance always gives a stable zero (e.g. even
with fluctuations in room temperature).

NOTE
If a power failure occurs, the timer continues running. If this does not happen, this indicates that the
instrument’s backup battery has expired and has to be replaced by GIBERTINI Customer Service.
6.3.9 Anti-theft encoding
The balance can be protected against theft by using a freely selectable, four-digit numerical code:
 If the anti-theft code is deactivated, the instrument can be re-started and operated after a power outage
without having to enter a code.
 If the anti-theft code is activated, the instrument requires the code to be input after each power outage.
 If the code is entered incorrectly, the instrument is locked.
 If the instrument is locked, it must first be disconnected from the power supply, then reconnected and
unlocked by entering the correct code.
 After seven consecutive incorrect entries, the display reads “NO ACCESS, CALL SERVICE”. In this case
only a GIBERTINI service engineer can unlock the instrument again.
NOTE
The anti-theft encoding is deactivated in the factory settings.
The preprogrammed code set at the factory is: 8 9 3 7
This code is the same in all instruments. Therefore, for security reasons, enter your own code. Keep
your own code in a safe place.
