DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The Ohaus Precision Standard series balances are precision weighing instruments,
designed to provide years of service with virtually no maintenance. The Precision
Standard series is constructed using a die-cast aluminum base finished with a durable
epoxy powder paint which is resistant to commonly used acids, contains a one piece
solid-stateprecisionelectronicsPCboard,asevendigitLCDdisplaywhichis0.6inches
in height. All Precision Standard series balances are factory set to measure in grams.
Eachbalanceoperatesthroughaseriesofmenuswhichenableprecise calibrationand
linearity along with various other parameters which enhances operation. A built in lock
switch prevents preset settings from being changed. To prevent measurements from
being affected by air currents, a draft shield is used on Models JR120, JR200 and
JR400D balances. Power is supplied through an AC adapter which is available in five
voltages for world-wide usage. Accessories include: an RS232 interface kit which
allows printing of results through an external computer, an RS232 Interface cable with
a print switch, weigh below hook, security device and calibration weights.

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 equipment that generates magnetic fields.
•On an unlevel work surface.

To install the draft shield:
1. Position the draft shield on top of
the balance as shown.
Make sure the rib at the
front of the draft shield
base butts up against the
raised lip of the display
panel.
2. The snap clamp should be ori-
ented so that the double clip
is toward the front of the
balance.
Insert the double clip of the
snap clamp into the opening
in the draft shield base, and clip
the draft shield base to the balance.
Press the rear clip of the snap clamp
into place.
Position rib up against
display panel.

ance is in the fine range. It remains in this
rangeuntiltheweight on thepanexceeds
the fine range capacity. When weight on
the pan is greater than the fine range
capacity, the balance switches to the
coarse range.
Ifweightonthepanfallsbacktowithinthe

Checking Calibration
Before using the balance, calibration
shouldbechecked.Thebalancehasbeen
calibrated before shipment, however, it
could be influenced by factors such as:
•Variations in the earths gravitational
field at different latitudes of the world.
•Rough handling.
•Changes in work location.
•Height above sea level.
To check the balance’s calibration, place
aknownmassonthecenterofthepanand
read the displayed weight.
If the displayed weight differs from the
known weight by more than acceptable
limits, refer to the Calibration Menu and
theSpecificationsattherearofthemanual.
