6.1 Unpacking the Balance
The balances are delivered in an environmentally-friendly package, specifically developed for this precision
instrument, which provides optimum protection for the balance during transportation.
In order to avoid damage, attention must be given to the following points when unpacking the balance:
• Unpack the balance carefully. It is a precision instrument.
• When outside temperatures are very low, the balance should first be stored for some hours in the un-
opened transport package in a dry room at normal temperature, so that no condensation settles on the bal-
ance when unpacking.
• Check the balance immediately after unpacking for externally visible damage. If you should find transport
damage, please inform your Services representative immediately.
• If the balance is not to be used immediately after purchase but only at a later time, it should be stored in
a dry place where fluctuations in temperature are as low as possible ( 6.3 "Storage").
• Read through these operating instructions, even if you already have experience with balances, before you
work with the balance and pay attention to the safety recommendations ( 5 "Safety Instructions and Con-
formity").
6.2 Transport and Shipping
Your balance is a precision instrument. Treat it with care.
Avoid shaking, severe impacts and vibration during the transportation.
Take care that there are no signification temperature fluctuations during the transportation and that the bal-
ance does not become damp (condensation).
6.3 Storage
If you would like to take the balance out of service for an extended period, disconnect it from the electricity
supply, clean it thoroughly ( 14.3 "Cleaning") and store it in a place which meets the following conditions:
• No violent shaking, no vibrations
• No significant temperature fluctuations
• No direct solar radiation
•Nomoisture
6.4 Choosing a Suitable Location
The balance location must be chosen in such a way as to guarantee perfect operation of your balance, so
that the allowable ambient conditions and prerequisites are met and maintained:
NOTE
Retain the original packaging in order to avoid transportation damages when shipping or transporting the
balance and to allow the balance to be stored in the best conditions if it is out of operation for an extended
period.
NOTE
The balance should preferably be dispatched and transported in the original packaging to avoid transpor-
tation damage.
NOTE
The balance should preferably be stored in the original packaging, since this provides optimum protection
for the balance.

■6 Setup
10
• Put the balance on a solid, firm and preferably vibration-proof, horizontal base
• Make sure that the balance cannot be shaken or knocked over
• Protect from direct solar radiation
• Avoid drafts and excessive temperature fluctuations
6.5 Connecting the Balance to the Mains
The following safety recommendations must be observed when connecting the balance to the mains:
6.6 Levelling
To function properly, the balance must be precisely horizontal.
The balance is fitted with one spirit level and two adjustable feet for level-control, with the aid of which it
is possible to compensate for small height differences and/or unevennesses in the surface on which the bal-
ance is standing.
The two screw feet must be adjusted so that the air bubble is precisely in the centre of the sight glass of the
bubble level.
6.7 Calibration of the Balance
Since the Earth's gravity is not the same everywhere, each balance must – in accordance with the underlying
physical weighing principle – be adjusted to compensate for the gravity at each location. This adjustment
process, known as “calibration”, must be carried out on initial installation and after each subsequent reloca-
tion. In order to get exact measurements, it is recommended moreover, that the balance should also be cal-
ibrated periodically.
NOTE
With difficult conditions (where the balance may be easily shaken or subject to vibration) the balance can
nevertheless provide accurate results through suitable adjustment of the stability control (see chapter
10.2 "Configuration - Weighing parameters").
DANGER
The balance may only be operated with the power adaptor supplied.
Check before connecting the power adaptor to the mains supply that the operating voltage stated on the
on the balance or on the power adaptor agrees with the local mains voltage.
If the operating voltage is not the same as the mains voltage, the balance or the power adaptor must on
no account be connected to the mains supply. Contact the Customer Service.
Incorrect Correct
NOTE
In order to get exact measurements, the balance must again be carefully levelled after each relocation.
NOTE
The balance must be calibrated on initial installation and after every relocation.
If you work in accordance with “Good Laboratory Practice GLP” observe the prescribed intervals between
calibrations (adjustments).

6 Setup ■
11
English
Calibration is effected in the configuration menu. Depending on the balance model, this may be done exter-
nally, internally or automatically (see chapters 10.3 "Configuration - Calibration" and 14.1 "Calibration").
With the aid of the “Intelligent Calibration Mode” the balance can itself determine the size of the calibration
weight, which enables an exact calibration with different size weights (in 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 500 g steps,
depending on implementation).
6.8 Dual Range and Floating Range Balances
With the Dual Range balances, weighing is always first carried out in the fine range, which is 10 times more
precise. When the fine range is exceeded the balance switches automatically into the coarse range.
The Floating Range balances have a fine range (10 times more precise), which moves over the entire weight
range. By pressing the tare key «T» the fine range can be called up as often as required over the entire weight
range.
6.9 Standardized Balance
The standardized balances are provided with the EC/OIML certification or meet the local standardisation reg-
ulations.
The balance range and certain functions of the weighing output differ from the standard program in the case
of the standardized balances – in accordance with the EC/OIML provisions.
6.10 Switching on the Balance
•Press«ON/OFF» to switch on the balance.
During the start-up sequence the balance executes a self check routine and stays, after about five seconds,
ready in the same application before its last switching-off.
6.11 Auto-Standby Mode
The balance is equipped with an Auto-Standby mode, which can be activated or deactivated in the config-
uration menu.
If the Auto-Standby mode is activated, the balance automatically switches to Standby some time after the
last weighing or key operation (current-saving function).
The delay before switching to Standby is defined in the configuration menu ( 10.2 "Configuration - Weighing
parameters").
• Press any button or put on a weight in order to switch the balance from the Standby mode back to the nor-
mal operation mode again.
NOTE
If a circle appears in the main-display of a standardized balance, the indicated value is unstandardised.
In balances of class (1) the circle also stands for the warm-up phase.
Your Customer Service will be happy to assist you at any time if you have any questions on the stand-
ardization of the balance or on working with standardized balances.

7 Discover the Capabilities of the New Series 360 EP
Work through the following example in order to explore some of the many new features of your new Precisa
balance of the series 360 EP. Follow the instructions and keep observing the display.
Example:
As part of a modification kit, destinated to 15 of your customers, you need to pack screws. Each kit is to
consist of 126 screws. Since the screws are small and easy to get lost, you round the number up to 130
pieces, in order to keep possible trouble away from your customers. It although doesn't matter, if somebody
gets one or two screws more or less. Let, for a better convenience, the balnce do the counting of the
weighed packs. After all, for your statistics, you would like to know, how many screws you have packed and
how accurate has been your working.
7.1 1st Step
Switch-on the balance:
•Press«ON/OFF»
During the start-up sequence the balance executes a self check routine and stays, after about five seconds,
ready in the same application before its last switching-off.

As the CheckWeigher is already enabled, some basic additional information, such as PcsWgt and RefPcs, is
going to be displayed in the info page. In our example we want to take a closer look over the shoulder of the
balance and let it show us the last and the penultimate stored value too.
Assign the first two info page positions:
Return to the application Piece Counting:
•Press{ESC} twice
7.3 3rd Step
Put the container in which you want to count the screws on the weighing pan and tare the balance:
•Press «0/T»
At first, put exactly 5 screws into the container.
•Press{5 PCS}
The balance takes the quantity showing it in the primary display, while the weight is visible in the secondary
display. There appears a rotate-symbol F on its right end which indicates the possibility of a content in-
terchange between the primary and the secondary display by pressing «ROTATE».
In the Info Area the balance is showing under "PcsWgt=" the calculated weight of one screw. Each time the
number of pieces increases for at least three, the balance, beeing stable, re-calculates the reference weight
of one piece. During this procedure appears a circle "O" on the left end of the primary display. As soon as
it disappears, the new, just calculated piece weight is displayed in its info field. In order to allow the balance
to count error-free, it is, at every first weighing-in, advisable to pause for some seconds each time the
number of pieces doubles the last calculated one (thus in our case at 10, 20, 40 and 80).
As soon as the first lot of 130 pcs., with the graphic and acoustic aid of the CheckWeigher, is weighed-in,
you may store it:
•Press {STORE 1}
The function "STORE 1" changes to "STORE 2", "STORE 3" (observe both info fields on the left side of the
info area). It stores and counts every weighing-in. Once the last weighing-in is stored, in our case the 15th,
it changes to "ENDED 15".
All statistic data are continuously refreshed and available during the entire procedure, as well individually dis-
played in the info area (remember the hold «ROTATE» -key for running over the info pages), as recallable
with {Show Stat.} in an info window.
By pressing {Clr Stat.} you may anytime clear all statistic data and restart your weighing-in with the existing
procedure settings.
Observe that as there are currently more available functions than softkeys, the above mentioned functions
{Show Stat.} and {Clr Stat.} are in a second function bar. To call them up

8.1.4 Soft Keys and Soft Key Assignments
A soft key is a soft-coded key, a button, located alongside the display, which performs a function displayed
near or right above it in the function bar at that moment. (In opposition to that, a hard key is a hard-coded
key, which performs just its firmly assigned function, e.g. «ON/OFF».) In each application you may assign a
choice of various functions to the soft keys. If you assign more than 6 functions, a function {}or {}is
displayed to switch from the current selection to the next.
Key Designation Function in a Menu
«ON/OFF» • Turns the balance on and off.
«PRINT» • Not functional.
«MENU»• Pressing leaves a menu.
• Holding leads to the home screen from any point.
«ROTATE»• Pressing (only if adverted by the rotate symbol Fin the ac-
tivity area) calls up further soft key functions.
«0/T» • Not functional.
{SOFT KEY}
• Each of the six soft keys executes its assigned function, dis-
played in the function bar, straight above the key itself. If
available (displayed rotate symbol Fin the activity area),
pressing «ROTATE» calls up further soft key functions.

8.2.1 Info Pages and Info Fields
There is a screen section called „Info Page Area“ to display application specific information. Each info page
has 4 info fields: top left, bottom left, top right and bottom right. In an application, holding the «ROTATE»
key calls up the next info page and continuously holding it scrolls cyclically all info pages.
Available info fields (quadrants) for displaying information on the info pages:
Some applications already display the most usual information, but you may reconfigure the info pages at any
time. Therefore switch the menu item Info fields in the context menu of the application and assign the info
fields individually.
8.3 Navigating in a Context Menu of an Application
This chapter is to show how to navigate in a context menu of an application. For details about the applica-
tions themselves, see chapter 12 "Applications and Functions". Here, all settings are made just by way of
example and are without further meanings.
Just selected, each application runs as preset, but for your convenience you may also modify its settings,
i.e. customize it according to your requirements. This can be done directly in its context menues. Let‘s do
this for example with the application Weighing:
•Press«MENU»
We are in the main level of the weighing context menu, where the headline names the running application
(Weighing) and the function bar provides us with the needed navigation functions. Observe that the headline
in a menu is black, while in an application it is white. In the central area are listed all menu items the appli-
cation consist of. If there are more than 6 menu items available, they are shared to various pages which you
may scroll by pressing {}and {}. The actual page and the number of pages are displayed at the right
end of the headline, in our example „1/2“, i.e. page 1 of 2. The left column names the single items, while
the right one allows us to select and define them one by one. At the moment, the menu item CheckWeigher
is selected. To change the definitions of the statistics item
•press{}to select it and
•press{E}to confirm your selection
