Placement and installation
Right placement
The correct positioning of the balance greatly influences the
accuracy of the measurements.
It is important to ensure a stable and anti-vibration support.
To avoid
•Direct light
•Temperature fluctuations
•Dust
•Conditioners and fans
Antitheft
The balance is equipped with an anti-theft system, designed to
discourage a possible attempted theft.
The cable and the padlock are not supplied with the scale.
Levelling the balance
The BL 224 has a level control and adjustable feet to compensate for
minor irregularities in the weighing surface.
The scale is exactly horizontal when the air bubble is in the middle of
the target.
Before turning on the balance, level it by rotating the adjustable feet so
that the level air bubble is in the center of the ring.
Make sure all the feet are securely fixed on the bench.
Connection of peripheral electronic devices
Turn off the balance before connecting or disconnecting a device
(printer, PC).
Before performing the first measurement, the weighing sensor
temperature must align with the ambient temperature in order to
obtain the best results.
Warm up: 60 min.

Simple weighing
Simple weighing is always accessible, and can be used in combination with other functions (counters - animal
weighing - statistics - etc.)
Simple weighing
•Tare the scale
•Place the sample on the pan
•Wait for the stability
•Take the result
Tare
•Place an empty container on the pan
•Wait for the stability, and press <TARE>
display shows “0,0000”
•Place the sample inside the container
•Take the measurement
Removing the container from the dish will display a negative value
on the display.
If you press the <TARE> key before stabilizing, the display will show
"----------" until the measurement is stable
Measurement unit
The balance can convert the result into 3 different measurement
units.
Default settings
•unit 1 = gm
•unit 2 = ct
•unit 3 = gm
Press <UNIT> key switch from unit 1 to unit 2, from 2 to 3 ecc.
In the setup menu, Is possible to choose the 3 units to use.

Calibration
To get the best possible results, Balance must be calibrated in the place of use.
Calibration is necessary:
•At the first use;
•at regular intervals over time;
•After a change of placement.
For homologated scales, the calibration can be deactivated during installation, as required by national regulations.
Is possible to stop the calibration at any time by pressing <ESC> key.
Display shows “Abort”.
External calibration
•Switch on and wait for the warm-up time
•Make sure there is no weight on the plate
•Close the sliding windows
•Display shows ”0,0000” g
•Keep pressed <CAL> key for 3 seconds = “Cal Et”
•The display shows the weight to use to calibrate.
•Place the weight for calibration at the center of the
weighing pan.
The weight must be in the appropriate accuracy class.
•Wait until display shows “CAL donE”.
The balance returns to measurement mode, ready for sample
weighing.
Internal calibration
•Switch on and wait for the warm-up time
•Make sure there is no weight on the plate
•Close the sliding windows
•Display shows ”0,0000” g
•Keep pressed <CAL> key for 3 seconds = “Cal Int”
It starts the automatically internal calibration procedure.
"C" appears on the display when the internal weight is loaded.
When removed, "CC" appears.
When "Int Done" appears, the process is completed, and the
balance returns to measurement mode.
