Important handling Cautions and Warnings
Always handle your scale with care.
Damage caused by improper handling is not covered under the scale’s warranty.
Dropping an object on the pan, rough handling, or exceeding weighing capacity will cause
loadcell overload, and loadcell damage which is not covered under the scale’s warranty.
Never drop or throw any articles
onto the scale’s pan or onto any
other parts of the unit!
DO NOT let the scale fall or drop
from its tabletop surface!
When moving the scale do not
press or apply force onto the
scales pan!
DO NOT pass or handle liquids
directly over the scale to avoid
spillage and liquid damage!

Instruction Manual –ATN and ATNA
CAUTIONARY NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS
Always handle your scale with care. The correct location and proper environment makes an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing
results of TORBAL precision scales.
The optimum location for your scale:
•Stable, vibration-free base as horizontal as possible
•Away from direct sunlight
•Not exposed to high temperature variations
•Away from direct drafts
•The best location is on a stable bench away from drafts,
doors, windows, radiators and air conditioner vents.
CAUTION:
•The scale is designed for indoor use only.
•Do not operate the scale in hazardous areas or under dangerous conditions.
•Do not use the scale in locations subject to high humidity or dust.
•Do not connect cables in ways other than those mentioned in this manual.
•Set the scale on a firm, stable, horizontal surface.
•Never stand on or lean on this product. Equipment may fall or collapse, causing breakage and possible injury.
•Before moving the product, unplug it and unplug all cables connected to it.
•When storing, transporting or returning the scale for service, always use the original packaging.
WARNING:
•Never attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the scale. Tampering with the scale may result in injury and cause
greater damage to the equipment.
•Be sure to use the specified power source.
•Do not allow foreign matter to fall onto the scale.
•If water or other liquid spills onto the scale, unplug the power cord immediately and contact technical support.
Damaged batteries must be handled
with extra care. Use rubber gloves and
safety glasses. Dispose only in
designated recycling centers.
Always disable charging before
installing disposable batteries
Charging non-rechargeable, alkaline
batteries can be hazardous and
cause damage to scale.
Always keep the scale and the
power supply from water or other
liquids.
Disposal of electronic equipment in
waste containers is forbidden by law

8. Carefully remove the scale, pan, and all components out of the
packaging. Place them on a stable surface where the scale will
not be compromised by any mechanical vibrations or high air
movements.
9. After removing the pan base and the pan from their packaging,
carefully install the draft ring (3–ATA110 and ATA210), and pan
base (2) onto the scale by seating it on the pan support located in
the middle of the scale. Once the pan base has been installed,
carefully place the pan (1) on the base
10. Once the pan has been installed, level the scale by adjusting the
front feet (6) until the level indicator (7) shows the “air bubble” is
in the center position of the sight glass. The level indicator is
located on the rear left side of the scale.

11. After leveling the scale, you may plug the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor socket located in the rear of the scale.
12. When the AC adaptor is plugged into the wall outlet, the scale will automatically turn on, and go through its
initialization process.
13. To put the scale into standby mode, leave the AC adaptor plugged into both the scale and the wall outlet and press
the Power “OFF” button. The “OFF” indicator will light up in the upper left corner of the display signaling the scale is
in standby mode.

5.2 Unpacking the Scale and Getting Started –ATN60A, AT120A
1. Carefully remove the scale, pan, and all components out of the
packaging. Place them on a stable surface where the scale will not be
compromised by any mechanical vibrations or high air movements.
2. Firmly screw in the chamber posts into the screw hole
openings located in the corners of the scale’s top housing.
3. Place the chamber top frame on the
posts and firmly secure it in place by
screwing in the post crews with the
provided wrench.
4. Install the back-chamber glass by inserting the
bottom edge into the scale housing (C’) and
securing the top edge in the chamber top
frame (C’’).
5. Install the left and right chamber access door
by sliding it into the scale housing and the
chamber top frame (C’’’).

16
Instruction Manual –ATN and ATNA
6. Install the front-chamber glass by
inserting the bottom edge into the
scale housing (D’) and securing the top
edge in the chamber top frame (D’’).
7. Insert the top chamber glass access
Door by sliding in the rear edge of the
glass onto the chamber top frame.
8. Install the chamber base (F’) on the top of the scale’s
housing.
9. Once the chamber base is in place, install the draft ring
pan support and the pan (F’’’).

17
Instruction Manual –ATN and ATNA
10. Once the chamber has been assembled and pan components installed, level the scale by adjusting the front feet
until the level indicator shows the “air bubble” is in the center position of the sight glass. The level indicator is
located on the rear left side of the scale.
11. After leveling the scale, you may plug the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor socket located in the rear of the scale.
12. When the AC adaptor is plugged into the wall
outlet, the scale will automatically turn on, perform
automatic internal calibration and go through its
initialization process.
13. To put the scale into standby mode, leave the AC
adaptor plugged into both the scale and the wall
outlet and press the Power “OFF” button. The “OFF”
indicator will light up in the upper left corner of the
display signaling the scale is in standby mode.
Note –When the AC adapter is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time, the scale will automatically and
frequently initialize temperature calibration as the internal parts of the scale heat up. The scale will display “”
when calibrating. Once the internal temperature stabilizes, the scale will calibrate whenever the temperature
changes by 1 degree Celsius and at two-hour intervals. The scale loses internal temperature only when the unit is
completely unplugged from the wall electrical outlet. When the unit is turned off with the On/Off key, the scale goes
into standby mode and internal temperature is maintained.
