1. INTENDED USE
Mass comparators are devices designed for determining the differences
between masses of calibration weight (B) and reference weight (A).
Comparators are most often used in measuring laboratories for calibration
of weights and masses. Radwag offers comparators designed for calibration
of weights and masses class M1 according to OIML R111.
2. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
A. Please, read carefully this user manual before and use the device
according to its intended use;
B. Weighed loads should be placed in possibly central part of scale pan;
C. Do not clean the device with agents causing corrosion;
D. Weighing pan should be loaded with goods having gross mass lower
than maximal capacity of the scale;
E. Do not leave loads on the pan for longer period of time ;
F. In case of failure, immediately disconnect scale power supply;
G. Devices that are to be withdrawn from usage should be utilized
according to the law.
3. WARRANTY CONDITIONS
A. RADWAG is obliged to repair or change those elements that appears
to be faulty because of production and construction reason,
B. Defining defects of unclear origin and outlining methods of elimination
can be settled only in participation of a user and the manufacturer
representatives,
C. RADWAG does not take any responsibility connected with destructions
or losses derives from non-authorized or inappropriate (not adequate
to manuals) production or service procedures,
D. Warranty does not cover:
•Mechanical failures caused by inappropriate maintenance of
the device or failures of thermal or chemical origin or caused
by atmospheric discharge, overvoltage in mains or other
random event,

•Inappropriate cleaning.
E. Forfeiture of warranty appears after:
•Access by an unauthorized service,
•Intrusion into mechanical or electronic construction
of unauthorized people,
•Installing another operating system,
•Removing or destroying protection stickers.
F. The detailed warranty conditions one can find in warranty certificate.
G. Contact with the central authorized service:
[phone] ext. 106 or 107.
4. UNPACKING AND MOUNTING
Before using the scale remove the transport protections (if installed):
Place the scale on the spot of use on the flat, stable ground far away from
sources of heat. The platform should be levelled out by putting pads under
feet and the use of an external level device.
Every foot can be screwed in or out. This way only a smal range of level
regulation is achievable. Basic levelling should be performed by putting
steel pads under legs and observing the level on external level device.

4.1. Comparator WPY/KB – preparation for work
Comparators of WPY/KB series, because of its construction (sensitive strain
gauges), require appropriate conditions to work properly, including stable
temperature. Temperature drifts in rooms with comparators should not
exceed 1°C per hour.
Proceeding in case of preparing the comparator to work:
1. After unpacking and taking off transport protections put the scale
in the destination place and level the komparator platform.
2. The room temperature must be stable – maximum allowable
temperature change is 1°C / h – and protected from accidental draughts
air flows e.g. from air conditioning directed on the comparator pan.
3. Then switch on the device and leave unloaded and on for 4 hours. This
is warming time during which electronical and mechanical parts reach
stable temperature conditions.
4. After 4 hours in stable ambient conditions the comparator can be
prepared for adjustment.
5. First load the comparator pan to the maximum capacity 1000kg and
keep this state at least 2.5 minuty (150 seconds).
6. Secondly unload the pan and wait at least 2 minuts (120 seconds),
to allow the scale to return to the minimum stable value close to „zero”.
7. The operation of initial loading should be repeated 5 times, every time
in reference to time intervals given above.
8. After the 5-time initial loading the comparator can undergo the
adjustement procedure: 2 minutes after unloading the pan and start
the adjustment procedure from factory menu – first start mass is
determined then load the calibration weight following hints that appear
on the display. Confirm the stable result after 2 minutes. This way the
adjustement procedure will be completed.
9. The comparator is ready for work.
Notice:
If working conditions are changed (temperature change greater than 1°C,
humidity change, sudden long lasting air flow causing a change of ambient
conditions) the adjucement procedure described above needs to be repeated.
