1. Introduction
AD series balances are destined for laboratory weighing where high accuracy is required.
AD6F balances are designed for precise paint weighing in automatic paint pouring process.
All balances are metrologically tested - calibration or legal verification certificate on demand.
Legal verification is required for balances used in some applications: direct trade,
pharmaceutical prescriptions, medical and pharmaceutical analysis, goods packing and
others.
Balances with legal verification are mark with the following:
-protective seal placed on the casing mounting screw,
-notified body stamps and green M sticker placed on balance name plate.
Legal verification is valid for 3 years (until verification seals are not broken).
As weight indication depends on gravitational acceleration in a place of the installation, the
manufacturer adjusts balance indication for specific gravity zone basing on delivery address.
Gravity zone is specified with gravitational acceleration range given on a sticker placed at the
back of a balance.
In case installation place is changed or balance indications are not accurate, it is advised to
contact a nearest service in order to re-adjust the balance.
NACE classification: 33.20.31.

6. Security rules
To avoid electrical shock or damage of a balance or
connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow
the security rules below.
•All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel
only.
•To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with a
balance). Pay attention that supply voltage is compatible with specified
technical data.
•Do not use a balance when its cover is opened.
•Do not use a balance in explosive conditions.
•Do not use a balance in high humidity.
•If a balance seems not to operate properly, plug it out of the mains and do not
use it until checked by authorised service.

9
7. Preparations – working environment
+18°C
+33°C
When choosing a location to set up the balance, remember the following rules to ensure
proper working conditions and user-friendly operating:
-setup the balance on an even, flat surface leaving necessary room for easy access,
-maintain proper working temperature,
-avoid strong air drafts, vibrations, dust, big temperature changes and humidity over 90%,
-avoid locations with extreme heat radiation and electromagnetic or magnetic fields.

10
8. Preparing a balance to work
1. Take all content out of a package.
2. Place the balance on a stable ground not
affected by mechanical vibrations and
airflows.
3. Level the balance with rotating rear legs
6so that the air bubble in water-level at the
back of the balance is in the middle.
4. (AD50-AD500) Put a pan base 2 on the
mandrel sticking out of a balance cover 3.
Put a pan 1 on a pan base (pan φ150mm is
connected to pan base).
5. (AD10-AD12) Put elements 2 on the
mandrel sticking out of a balance, put a
pan 1 .
6. Plug a feeder to the power socket at the
back of the balance.
Leave the pan empty and plug the feeder to the mains 230V. At the end of self-tests, the
balance displays zero indication and is now ready to work
Moisture in the air may condense on the surface of the balance when
transferred to the warmer environment. In this case leave the balance for at
least 4 hours unplugged from the mains for conditioning to avoid wrong
operating or damage of the balance.

10. Operation principles
1. Weighed sample should be placed in the centre of the pan.
2. In direct sale use (d=e), make sure that zero indicator is displayed. If not, press 0 key
and wait until zero indication and zero indicator appears. In other balances the key does
not operate.
3. The balance is equipped with a tare equal to its range. To tare the balance press →T←
key. Storing a tare value does not extend measuring range, but only subtracts it from a
load placed on a pan. To make weight control easier and to avoid range overdrawing, the
balance is equipped with a load indicator (graduated in percentages).
4. Weighing result should be read when the indicator " " lights, which signalises
stabilisation of a result.
5. When the balance is not used but it is necessary to be ready to work immediately, it can
be switched off by pressing I/ key. The balance reading system is then switched off to
"standby" mode (signalled by the indicator "OFF"). To switch the balance on press I/
key. The balance is immediately ready to operate maximum accuracy (after self tests).
6. The mechanism of the balance is a precise device, sensitive to mechanical strokes and
shocks.
The balance should not be used to weigh ferromagnetic materials due to accuracy decrease.
Do not overload the balance more then 20% of maximum load (Max).
Do not press a pan with a hand.
Before transportation take off the pan (move it slightly and lift it up) and
the pan base and preserve from any damages.

13
11.Balance checking
As weight indication depends on gravitational acceleration, it is advised to check balance
indication accuracy before and after series of measurement using any load with known
weight.
To check a balance with legal verification use calibration weight as stated in Technical Data
table with valid calibration certificate. In case permissible error is exceeded it is advised to
contact the nearest service to calibrate a balance.
12. Adjusting a balance
If balance indications exceed permissible error it is necessary to adjust a balance. To
calibrate a balance use calibration weight as stated in Technical Data table (or of better
accuracy) with valid calibration certificate.
To adjust a balance it is necessary to break protective marks – please contact the
nearest service for legal verification in a place of installation or the nearest
Measurements Office.

13.Connecting a balance to a computer or a printer
The balance may send data to a computer or a printer via RS232C interface.
When cooperating with a computer, the balance
sends weighing result after initialising signal from a
computer or after pressing key.
When cooperating with the balance, a computer
should be equipped with a program that enables
receiving and processing data from the balance.
AXIS offers computer programs to cooperate with balances. Demo versions and program
descriptions are available on the website: www.axis.pl:
-RS 232C Test – free serial port testing program,
-ProCell – residual program for cooperation with Microsoft EXCEL and other Microsoft
Windows applications (demo version).
Detailed information for programmers:
The balance sends data with a following method:
Computer → Balance: initiation signal S I CR LF (53h 49h 0Dh 0Ah),
Balance → Computer: weighing result in the following format:
