1. General description
Drive-through series in basic version from lacquered steel, with SE-01/A/18 meter, are
designed for operation in light environmental conditions.
Manual describes standard balance version. In case of special meter use, e.g. dosing
meter, it is necessary to use documentation for meter as well.
All balances are tested in respect of metrology. According to order, balances may
be verified or calibrated.
EC verification (conformity assessment) of balances is required for special
applications, mentioned in Ministry of Labour and Social Policy decree from
11.12.2003 (trade, tariffs, pharmacy recipes, medical and pharmaceutical analysis,
packing of goods). For other applications it is recommended to replace verification with
calibration.
Verified balances have the following verification features:
- protection stamps, located on balance meter and converters connection box
(installed under the bearing surface).
- Office of Measures marks and green metrological mark, located on the rating plate.
EC verification is valid for 25 months from 1st of December of year, when the EC
verification took place, under condition of stamp integrity.
Balances classification (PKWiU code) 29.24.23.

4. Safety principles
It is necessary to become familiar with safety
principles shown below, which are necessary to avoid
electric shock and damage of balance or connected
devices.
 Repairs and necessary adjustments must be performed by qualified
personnel only.
 To avoid fire hazard, use only typical supply cable, and supply voltage must be
consistent with technical data.
 For the balance supply use the socket with protective contact.
 Do not use balance when the cover is removed.
 Do not use balance in explosive atmosphere.
 Do not use balance in locations with high humidity, when the cover does not have
special protections (NAN types).
 In case of damage suspicion, switch the balance off and do not use it until
it is tested in professional service company.
5. Principles of used balance treatment
According to valid regulations regarding natural
environment protection do not place used electronic
devices in containers with common waste.
 Used balance after operation period may be transferred to units authorized
for collection of used electronic equipment, or to place of purchase.

7. Balance preparation to work
1. Unpack balance, removing protective
foils.
2. Place balance on flat, horizontal
foundation, in place not subjected to
mechanical vibrations and strong air
movements. Take care if the scale stays on
all four legs.
3. Air bubble in level should be located in the
middle position.
Good Bad
4. Lift scale corners up and put locks
under in such a way that scale legs go into
prepared holes.
5. Mount locks permanently to the
ground using o10 holes.
6. Put balance approaches on settling
them into locks.
7. Unscrew transport handles (mounted for
transport).
8. Connect the supply cable plug to
socket with protective contact, when
balance is unloaded.
9. In hermetic scales clog unused
connectors with additional caps.

8. Balance start
Connecting of supply plug to socket of ~230V/50Hz installation with unloaded balance
will cause the following sequence of actions:
Display test
Tests of basic electronic subassemblies,
ended with messages: C1, C-2, ... C-6.
Displaying of software version.
Ready for operation.
9. Operation principles
1. Before each measurement the balance should be properly zeroed, which is
signalled by “0” indicator. If the zero indication is not shown when the balance is
unloaded, or "----" is displayed, press the "0" key.
2. The balance enables tare setting in the whole measuring range. It is performed
by pressing "T" key.
3. Weighed mass should be placed in the platform centre.
Do not drop weighed objects on the platform.
Do not overload the balance over 20% of maximum load.
4. The weighing result should be read during the " " indicator lighting, which indicates

the result stabilization.
5. When there is no weighing, but the balance should be ready for operation, it may be
switched
off by I/ key. It causes the balance reading system deactivation end entering the
standby mode. Balance turning on is performed by pressing "I/ " key.
6. Protect the balance from dust, aggressive dusts and liquids. For cleaning purposes
use water and dry it.
10. Balance test
During balance operation, in order to confirm its efficiency, it is recommended to check
the weighing precision by putting and object of exactly known weight before and after
series of measurements.
For testing of verified balances use weight standard, having valid standardization
certificates. In case of allowable measurement error exceeding contact authorized
service company to perform balance adjustment.
11. Balance adjustment
Balance adjustment must be performed by authorized service company
only, as it is connected with necessity of seals breaching, required for
warranty purposes.

12. Connection with computer or printer (option)
For data transfer to external devices the balance is equipped with RS232C or RS485
(option) connector.
balance sends the weighing result after the initiating signal from the computer, or
pressing key.
During the operation with printer data are sent automatically after sampling and reading
stabilization, and the next transmission is possible after the sample removing. Sent
results: successive measurement number and weighing result (see Printer cooperation
mode).
In special version balance may be equipped with second connector, e.g.
performing continuous transmission of current results to the additional display.
To cooperate with balance, the computer must have the program, enabling the balance
data processing. Such programs are included in balance producer’s offer.

13. Common weighing
14. Weighing with tare
The 0 key operates only with unloaded
pan, and zeroes the balance indication.
Weighing results should be read with the "
" indicator on.
The balance enables tare setting in the
whole measuring range.
The B /G button allows for reading gross
weight.
C a u tio n :
Repressing the B /G button switches
to the net weight display.

15. Balance resolution increasing
The H R button causes the momentary result
displaying (approx. 5 secs) with the
maximum resolution, allowed by the balance
processor. That button is especially useful in the
legalized balances with d=e reading graduation.
The increased resolution result is the auxiliary
information, and may not be printed or sent to the
computer with the button.
16. Automatic zeroing function (F..-AUt)
Function activation will cause
automatic maintaining of zero
indications, when the balance is not
loaded, or when zero reading has
been achieved by pressing "T" key.
To finish the function operation press MENU
key, then, using T key, select F..-AUt
and F..-0..
Caution:
For 10 minutes after switching on the
balance, this function operates
automatically.

16
17. Pieces counting function (F..-PCS)
That function allows for counting the
identical details, e.g. screws or nails, contained in
the weighed batch.
The measurement takes place in two phases:
- first phase – calculation of single detail
weight upon the basis of sample of
specified number of pieces 5, 10, 20, 50,
100, 200, or 500 detils,
- second phase – counting the details in the
weighed batch.
It is recommended, that the single detail weight
is higher than the balance reading graduation,
and the weight of sample, used in the first
phase is higher than 100 of reading
graduations.
To finish the function operation press MENU
button, then, using T button, select F..-PCS
and F..-0.
Notes:
The “Err-3” message means, that no
sample is put on the balance.
The same message is displayed, when the single
detail weight is lower than one reading
graduation (user may calculate the pieces,
keeping in mind, that it increases the error).
2. Selecting " _ _ " instead of details number in
the sample recalls the previously entered
value (that value must be entered, otherwise
the error message will be displayed).
3. During that function the T operates
normally.
4. In the LCD display balances the " " sign is
replaced by "pcs".

18. Setting printer cooperation mode function (F..-LPt)
This function sets the balance interface for
the cooperation with printer. After its
activation the measurement number and
result
is printed automatically after putting and
removing the sample, without pressing
key.
To enter the computer cooperation mode
( key activation and results
transmission without numbering),
press MENU key, then, using T key,
select F..-LPt and F..-0.

19. Serial port parameters setting function (F..-rS)
Function is available in balances equipped with serial port,
e.g. RS232C, and allows for setting the following serial
port transmission parameters:
- baud rate (bAud: 1200, 4800, 9600),
- bits in byte number (bit: 7, 8),
- parity control (PArItY: 0, 1; Odd: 0, 1),
- balance no. during connecting few balances to
one computer (when the balance does not operate
in multistation network, enter 0),
- continuous transmission – without
using key, approx. 10 results per
second (SEnd: 0, 1).
Standard parameters are underlined.
In order to set the required parameters activate F..-Rs
function, select the proper parameter and press T key
during displaying ofrequired parameter or option value.
On the adjacent diagram setting of transmission rate of
9600 bps is shown. After setting of appropriate
parameters and options exit by selecting out.

20. Tare entering function (F..-tAr)
This function allows for measurement of product gross weight in the container with
known weight, and reading of calculated net weight. To do this, first enter the tare value to
the balance memory. Entered tare value may be recalled by pressing
0 key, when balance is unloaded. Tare value entering may be performed using balance
keys or “from nature”, when it is possible to place empty container on the
balance.
Tare value entering:
After function selection the
following options are displayed:
- F -0 – function deactivation,
- F -1 function activation with
previously entered tare,
- F -2 – entering of weight on the balance as
tare,
- F -3 – entering tare value using keys: 0, T,
ME N U and
Function activation is signalled by
NET indicator.
F-1 and F-0 options allow for temporary
deactivation and reactivation of function with
previously entered tare value.
C a ution :C CAUTION
Tare value is stored in balance memory also after
switching off.

[email protected]
20
Me a s u r eme n t w it h e n te r ed t a r e r ec a lli n g :
During measurement with activated
function t A r use of  0  causes
balance zeroing with simultaneous
recalling of tare value from balance
memory. This value is
displayed with sign “-“.
B /G key allows for switching to
gross weight indications. Repressing
the B /G key switches to net weight
display
C a ution :
 T  key does not work with unloaded
balance, use  0  to recall tare.
21. Menu update (F..-ACt)
Among available user functions it is
possible to select those, which will be
displayed just after pressing
M E N U key.
It allows for avoiding displaying of the
whole list of available functions, which
unnecessarily prolongs operation time.
On the adjacent diagrams there
are actions for adding of
exemplary function of setting
of
RS232C connector parameters ( F ..-
r S ) to functions menu.
To remove function from menu in last
operation select F ..-0 instead of F ..-1.
