1.4. PS R2.H SERIES
The PS R2.H series redefines the level of standard for precision balances. Not only do they share all
the features of R series balances, but can also work in adverse operating conditions (condensed
dust, drops of water falling down at different angles) typical for IP 54.
The PS R2.H balances are equipped with weighing pans: round ø115mm or square 195x195mm.
Balances with pans of a smaller size feature draft shield as well.
Additional asset of the PS R2.H balances are their interfaces build-in a hermetic closed housing
which is separated from the balance. The interfaces include 2×RS 232, USB type A, USB type B, and
Wi-Fi optionally.
Balance housing is made of plastic, whereas its pan of stainless steel.
The PS R2.H series metrological parameters are identical like those of standard design balances.

Upon unpacking, remove all transport locks and assembly the following elements:
- draft shield (1) - weighing pan shield (3) and weighing pan
(2)
- plug the power supply connector into the
socket (4),
- plug the power supply to the mains.
CAUTION!
While cleaning it is advisable to follow below precautions. Additionally it is a must to disconnect the device from
mains and unplug all the peripherals (printers, computer etc.) remembering at the same time to protect ports by
means of stoppers. Only thus prepared device can be cleaned. Upon completion of the cleaning process the
device may be connected to mains for further operation.

1.5. INTENDED USE
X2 series balances are designed to provide accurate measurement of weighed loads, performed
under laboratory conditions. It is intended for application as a non-automatic weighing instrument
only, i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing
pan. Weighing result should be read only after stable reading has been obtained.
1.6. PRCAUTIONS
Do not use the balance for a dynamic weighing. Even if small quantities of weighed material are
added or removed from the weighing pan of the instrument, the reading should be taken only after
stabilisation of the measurement results. Do not place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan,
as this can cause damage to the measuring system of the instrument.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the balance in excess of the prescribed maximum
measuring range (max capacity), minus any possible tare weight that has been applied.
Never use the balance in an environment where explosion is possible. This balance has not been
adjusted for operation in explosive areas.
There must not be any modification made to the balance.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTE:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
The grantee is not responsible for any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
1.7. WARRANTY
Warranty is invalid for the following:
•non-observation of the guidelines of this user manual,
•use of the balance other than specified in this manual,
•alteration to or opening of the device,
•mechanical damage and damage caused by media, water, wear and tear,
•inappropriate assembling or defects of electric installation,
•overloading of the measuring instrument.

1.8. METROLOGICAL PARAMETERS MONITORING
Metrological characteristics of the balance require periodical inspection to be carried out by its user.
Inspection frequency is dependent on ambient conditions in which the balance is used, types of
performed processes and accepted quality management system in organization.
1.9. USER MANUAL SIGNIFICANCE
It is very important to read the user manual carefully before switching on and starting up balance
operation, even if the user is experienced and has worked with this type of balance before.
1.10. BALANCE USER TRAINING
The balance should be utilized and supervised only by users who are trained and experienced in
using such type of weighing instruments.
2.TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1. DELIVERY CHECKLIST
Upon delivery it is necessary to check the package and the device, make sure that your package
bears no signs of damage.
2.2. PACKAGE
Keep all package elements should your device be transported in a future. Remember that only
original packaging can be used for shipping purposes. Prior to packing uncouple any cables, remove
any separable components (weighing pan, shields, inserts). The device components shall be packed
into an original packaging, thus being protected against potential damage during transportation
3.UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
3.1. PLACE OF USE AND ASSEMBLING
•The balance should be stored and used in locations free of vibrations and shakes, free of air
movement and dust,
•ambient air temperature should not exceed the range of: +10 °C ÷ +40 °C,
•ambient relative humidity should not exceed 80%,
•during balance operation, ambient temperature in the weighing room should not change rapidly,
•the balance should be located on a stable wall console desk or a stable working table which is
not affected by vibrations and distant from heat sources,
•take special precaution when weighing magnetic objects, as part of the balance is a strong
magnet. Should such loads be weighed, use under-pan weighing option, which removes the
weighed load from area influenced by the balance’s magnet. The hook for under-pan weighing
is installed in balance’s base,
•in order to avoid the influence of static electricity on the measurement process, ground the
balance’s housing. The grounding bolt is located at the back of the balance’s housing.
3.2. UNPACKING
Cut the adhesive tape. Take the device out of the packaging. Open the accessory box, take the
device components out of it.
