Installation
2.0 Installation
Use the balance only in areas free from environmental conditions that could affect the accuracy.
Always adjust the level of the balance before use.
Calibrate the balance when it is installed or relocated.
After moving balance, open windshield door to allow it to adapt to the ambient temperature for stable measurement.
Allow five minutes after powering on for the balance to warm up.
2.1 Measuring Environment Precautions
Temperature/Air Draft/Humidity/Atmospheric Pressure
• Keep the room temperature constant
• Avoid exposure to airflow (air conditioner, heat ducts)
• Avoid exposure to direct sun that can cause abrupt temperature changes
• Low humidity can cause static electricity, resulting in inaccurate measurements
• Avoid locations that are subject to dust
Vibration/Shaking
• When possible, locate balance in a room on the first floor or basement
• Rooms near a road/railroad should be avoided
• Place balance on a table/counter that is not affected by vibration
• Placing a sheet of soft cloth or paper under the balance can cause shaking
Gravity
• The latitude and altitude of a measuring location can affect a weight reading due to changes in gravity
• Calibrate the balance at a measuring location to account for location gravity
Electromagnetic Wave
• Avoid locations where strong electromagnetic wave generating objects are present
• Avoid using tables that are subject to magnetism or static electricity
2.2 Balance Main Unit Precautions
Operating Precautions
• If a dust cover is used, wipe with an anti-static agent or remove the cover
• For stability, turn on the balance 30 minutes or more and load the balance a few times with a calibration weight
equivalent to the weighing capacity prior to using
Adjustment
• Calibrate balance periodically with an external adjustment weight or internal adjustment weight, external is more precise
• Adjustment is needed when:
• Using the balance for the first time
• Using the balance after a long period of non-use
• Relocating the balance
• A major change in temperature, humidity or atmospheric pressure has happened
Maintenance
• Remove any dust or liquid from the pan and/or pan base prior to operation
• Ensure that no dust or liquid enters the balance when cleaning
• Frequent cleaning of the balance is required

3.3 Precautions Related to a Specimen
Static Electricity
• Synthetic resin- and glass-made specimens are easily charged electrically
• Weighing electrically charged specimens makes the displayed value unstable, reducing the reproducibility of a test result
• Neutralize electrically charged specimens before measurement
Magnetism
• Specimens affected by magnetism weigh differently depending on the position on the pan, reducing reproducibility
• Eliminate the magnetism or place the specimens on a container/plate to protect the weighing mechanism
Moisture Absorption/Evaporation
• Wet or volatile specimens can cause the displayed value to continuously fluctuate due to evaporation
• Put these specimens in a container with a tight fitting lid to prevent evaporation during the weighing process
Specimen Temperature
• Difference in temperature between specimens and the windshield interior generates convection flow, causing errors
• If specimen temperature is excessively high or low, allow its temperature to stabilize at room temperature prior to measuring
• Ensure the windshield interior temperature is equal to room temperature prior to measuring
• Body temperature of operator affects measurement results; handle specimens with tweezers and refrain from putting
hands in the windshield during operation
3.4 Display Navigation
Use the F-keys to navigate through the menus and enter numerical values.
• = F1: Increments numeric values. Scrolls through menus/selections
• = F2: Decrements numeric value. Scrolls through menus/selections
• = F3: Select digits and returns to previous level
• = F4: Enters the value or a level
3.5 Power On/Off
When balance is plugged in, displays indicating it is in standby mode.
Press . A self-check runs, then 000000 displays.
• Do not press any buttons during the self-check
• The balance starts in the last operation mode set
Press and hold to put the balance into standby mode (approximately 2-3 seconds). displays.
3.5.1 Balance Operation Check

Operation
3.6 Zero-Point Adjustment
A zero-point adjustment is an adjustment of the scale’s zero value with all weight removed from the scale. The scale must be
stable and within the zero range to perform this.
On Legal for Trade balances, this setting is read only, the wait time cannot be changed.
Use the following steps to do a zero-point adjustment.
1. Ensure the weigh pan is empty.
2. Press , ZERO TARE displays.
3. 0000000 displays after zero is complete.
The stability wait time can be set in the Applications menu in Section 5.2 on page 29.
3.6.1 Zero-Point Adjustment Limits
The Zero Point limit is the threshold at which the operator can press and have it zero.
There is an upper and lower threshold, outside of that, the balance cannot be zeroed.
Weight above 1.5% of capacity will be processed as a tare but a recalibration would be needed to adjust a zero point
outside of this.
3.7 Tare Value
To weigh using a container, the container weight should be subtracted from the total value. Then results displayed are the
weight of the product only.
A Tare Value is included in the total maximum capacity.
If a tare exceeds the zero point adjustment range (Section 3.6.1) on initial power up, the tare subtraction is executed.
1. Place the empty container on the balance. The weight of the container displays.
2. Press , ZERO TARE displays.
3. 0000000 displays after zero is complete.
4. Place the product to be weighed in the container. The net weight displays.
5. Remove the product and container from the balance.
6. Press to remove the tare.
Weight above 1.5% of capacity will be processed as a tare but a recalibration would be needed to adjust a zero point
outside of this.
3.7.1 Preset Tare
When a tare weight is already known, the tare subtraction can be configured as a Preset Tare parameter. Five preset tare
values can be stored.
To use a preset tare:
1. Press . displays.
2. Press until 3 USER INFO displays.
3. Press and 31 PT MODE and the current setting displays.

4. Press . The current setting begins to flash.
5. Press or to select desired preset tare number (1-5).
6. Press to save the setting.
7. Press to return to operation display. NET displays in the upper right hand corner of the display.
To exit a preset tare:
1. Ensure there is no weight on the balance.
2. Press . ZERO flashes and display returns to Weigh Mode. NET sis no longer displayed.
This not only exits a preset tare, it also sets the preset tare mode back to off; disabling presets.
3.7.2 Check Tare Weight Using an F-Key
If an F-key has been set to Tare, it can be used to see what the tare weight is.
1. Set an F-key to Tare.
2. With tare in place, press until TARE is displayed above an F-key.
3. Press the TARE F-key. The tare weight displays.
4. Press to return to operation mode.
3.7.3 Add to Product
To weigh additional products without the value of the existing product, use the following steps.
1. Place first product to be weighed on the balance.
2. Press , ZERO TARE displays.
3. 0000000 displays after zero is complete.
