2.5 Battery Installation and Use
The balance may also be powered by batteries. Remove the battery cover and install
four alkaline AA (LR6) type batteries, (not included). Refer to Figure 2.5 to properly
install the batteries. Under battery power a battery symbol is shown on the left side of
the display. The Auto-Off setting is useful for conserving battery power, see section
4.2.1.

2.6 Draft Shield Installation (Carat models only)
Lay the dome shaped draft shield over the notched metal ring with the open end facing
towards the back of the balance. With downward pressure rotate the draft shield
allowing the bottom edges to slide under the notches of the metal ring. Continue
rotating the draft shield until the opening is facing forward. See Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1. Draft Shield Installation.
2.7 Initial Calibration
Power on the balance by pressing On-Zero. Allow at least one minute for the balance to
stabilize before calibrating. Press and hold the Print/Cal button until [CAL] is
displayed. The display flashes [-C-] while zero reading is taken. The display flashes
the required span mass. Put the indicated calibration mass on the pan and press Yes.
The display flashes [-C-]. When calibration is complete, [DonE] is displayed.
Note:
Calibration is also available in the Setup menu, see section 4.2.1.

3. OPERATION
Press Zero to zero the balance and then place objects to be weighed on the pan.
Some weighing Modes and Units of measure may initially be unavailable. They can be
enabled in the Main menu Unit [U.n.i.t], see section 4.
3.1 Weighing Units
Press Unit to advance to next available weighing Unit.
3.2 Weighing Modes
To access other weighing modes - Press and hold Mode until display shows desired
mode. To exit weighing modes - Press and hold Mode until the prior weighing unit is
shown.
3.2.1 Parts Count Mode
Use the Count mode to count parts of uniform weight
To begin Parts Counting, press On-Zero to tare a container or to set the display to zero.
Access Count Mode - Press and hold Mode until the display shows P
PC
. [CLr.APU] is
displayed.
Establish an Average Piece Weight (APW) - Each time a new type of part is to be
counted, the nominal weight of one piece (Average Piece Weight) must be established
using a small quantity of pieces.
With Clear APW [CLr.APU] displayed, press No to use the previously saved APW, or
press Yes to establish a new APW. The display indicates the number of pieces to be
used to establish the new APW.
If a different sample size is preferred, press No until the desired sample size is displayed
(5, 10, 20, 50, or 100). Put the specified number of pieces on the pan. Press Yes to
accept new APW. After the new APW is established, the number of pieces is shown on
the display.
www. .com [e-mail]1.800.561.8187

TAJ Carat / Gold Balances EN-7
APW Enhancement - Since the weight of each piece may vary slightly, APW
Enhancement (when enabled - Cnt.Enh) may be used to increase the accuracy of the
count. The Average Piece Weight is automatically recalculated if the next stable weight
is less than or equal to 2 times the original sample weight. Enhancement will then
continue provided that each additional weight is less than or equal to the previous
weight. The display shows [APU.Enh] each time the APW is recalculated.
Establish new APW -Press and hold Unit until “PC” blinks.
Count - Press Zero button. Place the quantity to be counted on the pan.
Exit - Press and hold Mode until the prior weighing unit is shown.

4.2 Menu Navigation
Main level menus are identified by decimal points between each letter, for example
[S.E.t.U.P].
Enter Menu: With the balance off, press and hold the On button. Continue
holding the On button until [S.E.t.U.P] is displayed. Each main
menu is entered by pressing Yes. Advance to the next main menu
by pressing No.
Changing Settings: Within each main menu are sub-menus. Enter each sub-menu by
pressing Yes. Advance to the next sub-menu by pressing No. To
accept the displayed sub-menu setting, press Yes. To advance to
the next setting, press No.
Menu Exit: The last item in each sub-menu is [EnD]. Press Yes to return to the
main menu. The last item in the main menu is [E.n.D]. Press Yes
to return to the previous weighing mode.
4.2.1 Setup Menu [S.E.t.U.P.]
The Setup menu contains the following sub-menus:
Auto-Off [.A-OFF.]: Auto Off settings: On,O
Off
**.
Setting [On] will automatically turn the balance off after no
activity is detected for 4 minutes.
Light [LiGht]: Backlight settings:
On
, Off**, Auto.
Selecting [Auto] will turn the backlight on when the balance
detects any activity. (Minimum 2 seconds)
Span Calibration [SPAN]: Uses two weight values: Zero and a value at or near the full
capacity of the balance. Span calibration should be
performed if the balance is repositioned or when the room
temperature changes significantly.
Linearity Calibration [Lin]: Uses three weight values: Zero, a mid-range value and full
capacity. Generally this calibration is not required unless
testing shows that the linearity error exceeds the linearity
tolerance in the specification table. Accuracy of weights is
important to maintain weighing integrity.
**Selecting [Off] for these settings will reduce battery consumption.

4.2.2 Unit Menu [U.n.i.t]
Each Weighing Unit may be individually set to On or OFF.
See Table 4-1 for the symbols associated with each Unit or Mode.
4.2.3 Other Menus
Additional Menus are available if a serial interface option is installed in the balance.
These menus are explained within the user manual of each option kit.
4.3. Calibration Lock Feature
Sliding the switch fully to the lock position prevents calibration of the balance. Using
a paper or wire seal will physically secure the switch if required.
Locking the calibration Adhesive paper seal Wire or plastic tie seal
Figure 4-1. Locking and Sealing the Calibration Lock Switch.
4.4 Weigh Below Feature
The Weigh Below Hook is stored inside the battery cover. Thread the hook into the
access hole at the bottom of the balance. Mount the balance onto an appropriate
assembly that allows free working space below the hook. See Figure 4-2. Note: Never
allow the balance to rest directly on the hook.
