This manual covers Installation, Operation and Troubleshooting for the Ohaus
ANALYTICAL Plus Series of Electronic balances, Models AP110, AP210, AP310,
AP250D, AP110E, AP210E, AP310E and AP250E. Suffixes after the basic model
number are: D = Dual Range and E= Type Approved with CE conformance and bear
official markings (Max, Min, Class, etc.) on a serial number plate located on the side
of the balance. To ensure proper operation of the balance, please read this manual
completely.
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Ohaus ANALYTICAL Plus Series balances are high precision weighing instru-
ments, designed to be versatile, accurate, easy to operate and will provide years of
service with virtually no maintenance. The Analytical Plus series is constructed using
a die-cast aluminum base finished with a durable corrosion resistant epoxy powder
paint. The weighing area is protected from air currents by a draft shield. It contains
solid-state precision electronics PC boards, and a seven and a half, 0.5 inch digit,
VacuumFluorescentdisplay. Eachbalanceoperatesthroughaseriesofmenuswhich
enhances operation. A built in lockswitch prevents preset settings from being
changed.
FEATURES
Analytical Plus balances contain four main display menus which enable you to
calibrate and configure the balance for specific operating requirements.

EnvironmentEnvironment
EnvironmentEnvironment
Environment
The balance should always be used in an environment which is free from excessive
air currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature or humidity extremes. These
factors will affect displayed weight readings.
DO NOT install the balance:
•next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid temperature changes.
•near air conditioning or heat vents.
•near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
•near magnetic fields or devices that
may generate magnetic fields (i.e.
motors, alternators, etc.)
•on an unlevel work surface.
Install the balance in the location where it
will be used before proceeding.

To access the weigh below hook, care-
fully turn the balance on it's side, loosen
the screw which secures the cover plate,
rotate the plate to clear the hole, then
secure the plate in that position. Return
the balance to an upright position. Mount
the balance on a stable, level elevated
platform and install a hook.

RS232 INTERFACE
ANALYTICAL Plus balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232 compatible
interface for communication with printers and computers. When the balance is
connected directly to a printer, displayed data can be output at any time by simply
pressing PRINT, or by using the Auto Print feature.
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate the balance from the
computer, as well as receive data such as displayed weight, weighing mode, stability
status, etc.
Thefollowingsectionsdescribethehardwareandsoftwareprovidedwiththebalance.

Hardware
On the rear of the balance, a 9-pin sub-
miniature “D” connector is provided for
interfacing to other devices. The pinout
and pin connections are shown in the
adjacent illustration.
The balance will not output any data un-
lesspin5 (CTS)isheld inanONstate (+3

CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to
defeat it.

All communication is accomplished using
standard ASCII format. Only the charac-

commands, control characters or spaces
are ignored. Commands sent to the bal-
ance must be terminated with a carriage
return (CR) or carriage return-line line
feed (CRLF). For example, a tare com-
mand should appear as shown in the
adjacent diagram. Data output by the bal-
ance is always terminated with a carriage
return - line feed (CRLF).

1. Before connecting the power cord,
check that the line voltage switch lo-
cated at the rear of the balance is set
correctly for your location. If not, use a
small screwdriver to set the switch
correctly.
2. Make sure the doors to the weighing
chamber are closed.
2. Connect the power cord receptacle to
the plug on the rear of the balance.
3. Plug the power cord into a convenient
AC outlet. The balance signals one
long beep to indicate power has been
applied.

Taring
When weighing material or objects that must be held in a container, taring stores the
container weight in the balance’s memory, separate from the weight of the material in
the container.
1. Place an empty container on the pan. Its weight is displayed.
2. , the display blanks until stable weight readings are received, then
indicates zero. The container’s weight is stored in memory.
3. Addmaterialtothe container. As materialisadded, its netweightis displayed.
4. Removing the container and material from the pan will cause the balance
to display the container’s weight as a negative number.
