1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTENDED USE
The balances are designed to provide accurate measurement of weighed loads, performed under
laboratory conditions.
1.2 PRECAUTIONS
•Prior to first use, it is highly recommended to carefully read this User Manual, and operate
the balance as intended.
•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 stabilization 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.
•While loading the balance make sure that load is placed in the very center of the weighing
pan.
•Make sure the load does not exceed instrument’s measuring range (maximum capacity).
•Do not leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for a long period of time.
•In case of failure, immediately unplug the instrument.
•Balances to be decommissioned, should be decommissioned in accordance with valid legal
regulations.
•Do not use the balance is areas endangered with explosion. The balance is not designed to
operate in EX zones.
1.3 SUPERVISION OVER METROLOGICAL PARAMETERS
Metrological parameters of a balance need to be checked by an authorized user. Inspection
frequency is qualified by the ambient conditions in which a balance is used, processes carried out
and adopted quality management system.
1.4 WARRANTY CONDITIONS
A. Schuler Scientific will exchange, replace or repair the existing balance for any damage that
appears to be faulty by production or by construction within the 5-year warranty period.
B. Warranty is voided if:
•mechanical defects caused by inappropriate use:
•defects of thermal and chemical origin,
•defects caused by lightning, overvoltage in the power network
•defects caused by water damage
•or other random event
•overloading the mechanical measuringsystem
•installing another version of the operating system
•utilizing the balance contrary to its intendeduse
•repairs carried out by non-authorized service centers
•removing or destroying protective stickers which secure the balance’s housing against
unauthorizedaccess
C. Warranty card must be filled out for warranty to be valid.

9
2. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
2.1 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.
•Place the balance away from heat sources. Avoid exposing the balance to the sunilight.
•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.

2.5 BALANCE LEVELING
It is necessary to level the balance prior to plugging it in. To level the balance, turn its feet until the
air bubble is in the center position.
The balance should firmly rest on a surface, each of the feet must be supported.
2.6 POWERING THE DEVICE
Before plugging in your balance, it is imperative to wait until the balance reaches thermal
stabilization. For balances that were stored in much lower temperatures (e.g. during winter period),
thermal stabilization period will take at least 4 hours for Precision balances, and 8 hours for
Analytical balances.
•Balance should be plugged in only with the power adapter that comes standard with the
model. Nominal power supply of the power adapter (specified on the power adapter data
plate) should be compatible to the power supply.
•Plug the balance in –connect the power adapter to DC connector then connect the power
supply to the mains.

17
•Press button located in the top right hand corner of the key pad.
Remember to start the balance with no load on the weighing pan
•Test of the display unit takes place right after connecting the balance to the power, all the
elements and pictograms are backlit for a short time.
•Next, the name and the software version appears (please note, software number may be
different than what appears below)
•The indication gets to ZERO (displayed reading unit depends on the balance). During the
balance start, the test of an internal mass adjustment mechanism occurs (single location
and elevation of the internal mass adjustment).
•If the indication is different than zero, please press button

2.7 BALANCE HOME SCREEN
2.7 AMBIENT CONDITIONS STATE INDICATION (ANALYTICAL BALANCES)
The function is intended to inform on unstable ambient conditions for a balance, it is enabled only
for Analytical balances.
The function controls dynamic temperature changes occurring in the balance during its operation. If
the variation is greater than set limit values (temperature changes speed), then a blinking
thermometer pictogram is displayed on the screen.

19
The blinking thermometer pictogram means that temperature inside the balance is not stable, this
may result in inaccurate mass measurement. For such a case it is recommended to wait until the
temperature stabilizes or to perform balance adjustment (blanking of the blinking thermometer
pictogram).
