1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The TCS-Series precision balance enables fast and accurate mass measurements under
laboratory conditions.
The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped with anti-draft shield, is an integral part of
the TCS-Series balance. Backlit LCD display ensures clear measurement result. The TCS-Series
balance is equipped with an internal battery (comes standard), so it does not have to be connected
to the mains.
The TCS-series balance is equipped with the following interfaces: RS 232, USB type A, USB type B.
The interfaces enable cooperation between the balance and peripheral devices (e.g. printer,
computer, flash drive).
2. PRECAUTIONS
Prior to installation, use or maintenance activities, carefully read this user manual and follow the
provided guidelines.
Prior to the first use, carefully read this user manual. Use the weighing device only as
intended.
Place weighed loads in the center of the weighing pan.
Load the weighing pan with loads of gross weight which does not exceed the maximum
capacity.
Do not leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for longer periods of time.
Protect the indicator against considerable temperature variation, solar and UV radiation,
substances causing chemical reactions.
The TCS scale must not be operated in hazardous areas endangered with explosion of
gases, and in dusty environments.
In case of damage, immediately unplug the device from the mains.
Scales to be decommissioned must be decommissioned in accordance with valid legal
regulations.
Do not let the battery discharge in case of prolonged storage of the device in low
temperature.
A worn out battery can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by the authorized service.
Accumulators do not belong to regular household waste. Symbols on batteries identify
harmful compounds: Pb = lead, Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury. Dear user, you are
obliged to dispose of the worn out batteries as regulated.

2
2.1. Maintenance
In order to ensure safety in the course of cleaning, it is necessary to disconnect the device from the
mains. With this condition met, uninstall the weighing pan and other detachable components.
Cleaning the weighing pan while still installed may cause
damage of the measuring system.
2.1.1 Cleaning ABS Components
To clean dry surfaces and avoid smudging, use clean non-coloring cloths made of cellulose or
cotton. You can use a solution of water and detergent (soap, dishwashing detergent, glass cleaner).
Gently rub the cleaned surface and let it dry. Repeat cleaning process if needed.
In the case of hard to remove contamination, e.g. residues of adhesive, rubber, resin, polyurethane
foam etc., you can use a special cleaning agents based on a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons that
do not dissolve plastics. Before using the cleanser for all surfaces we recommend carrying out tests.
Do not use cleansers containing abrasive substances.
2.1.2 Cleaning Stainless Steel Components
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach (including chlorine). Do not
use cleansers containing abrasive substances. Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to
avoid damage of protective coating.
In case of a daily maintenance:
1. Remove the dirt using cloth dipped in warm water.
2. For best results, add a little bit of dishwashing detergent.
2.1.3 Cleaning Powder-Coated Components
For preliminary cleaning process stage you need running water or wet sponge featuring large holes,
this will help you to remove loose, heavy dirt. Do not use cleansers containing abrasive substances.
Next, using cloth and cleanser- water solution (soap, dishwashing liquid) gently rub the cleaned
surface.
Avoid using cleanser without water since it may result with damage of the cleaned surface, please
mind that large amount of water mixed with cleanser is a must.
2.2. Battery
The TCS-Series balance is supplied by NiMH-type battery (nickel-metal-hydrogen) of
1800-2800mAh capacity.
In case of prolonged storage of the balance in low temperature, the battery must be
charged.
A worn-out battery can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by the authorized
service.
The equipment including accumulators does not belong to regular household waste.

12.1. Filter Level
•
Enter <P2.rEAd / 2.1.FiL> submenu
•
Press
key to view available filter values: 1 - fast, 2 - average, 3 – slow,
•
Press
key to confirm. Return to home screen.
Caution:
The higher filter level, the longer the indication takes to stabilize.

12.2. Value Release
Parameter related with the stabilization rate of measurement result. Depending on the selected
option, weighing time is either shorter or longer.
Procedure:
•
Enter<P2.rEAd / 2.2.APPr> submenu.
•
Press
key to view available options:
F_P - Fast and reliable
PrEc- Reliable
FASt- Fast
•
Press
key to confirm. Return to home screen.
12.3. Balance Ambient Conditions
Parameter relating to ambient and environmental conditions in which the balance operates. If the
ambient conditions are unstable (air drafts, vibrations), select 'unstable' option.
Procedure:
•
Enter <P2.rEAd / 2.3.Enut> submenu.
•
Press
key to view available options: nStAb – unstable, StAb –stable.
•
Press
key to confirm. Return to home screen.
12.4. Autozero
The software features an autozero function (Auto) ensuring precise mass indication. This function
automatically controls and corrects zero indication.
There are, however, some cases when this function can be a disturbing factor for the measuring
process; e.g. very slow placing of a load on the weighing pan (load adding). In such case, it is
recommended to disable the function.
Procedure:
•
Enter <P2.rEAd / 2.4.Aut> submenu.
•
Press
key to view available options: YES – function enabled, no – function disabled.
•
Press
key to confirm. Return to home screen.

15
12.5. Tare
Function enables setting appropriate parameters related with taring.
Procedure:
•
Enter <P2.rEAd / 2.5.tArA> submenu.
•
Press
key to view available options:
no- Basic tare mode. Set (selected) tare value is overwritten on
entering new tare value.
tArF- Last tare value is stored in balance's memory. Tare value is
automatically
displayed on restarting the balance.
AtAr - Tare value is saved after the power supply is disconnected.
EAcH - Automatic taring of each approved measurement.
•
Press
key to confirm. Return to home screen.
12.6. Last Digit
Function enables displaying the last digit of decimal place for a weighing result
-
the measurement is carried out with lesser accuracy.
Procedure:
•
Enter <P2.rEAd / 2.6.LdiG> submenu.
•
Press
key to view available options:
ALAS - All digits visible.
nEur - Last digit is not displayed.
uuSt - Last digit is displayed only for a stable weighing result.
•
Press
key to confirm. Return to home screen.
13. ADJUSTMENT (CALIBRATION)
In order to ensure the highest weighing accuracy, it is recommended to periodically introduce a
corrective factor of indications to balance memory, the said factor must be referred to a reference mass.
It is a balance adjustment.
Adjustment has to be carried out:
•
prior weighing,
•
if long breaks between following measuring series occur,
•
if the ambient temperature has changed dynamically,
•
if the balance's place of use has changed.
Types of adjustment:
•
External adjustment <1.1.CA-E> carried out with external weight of declared mass which
cannot be modified.
•
User adjustment <1.2.CA-u> carried out with any external weight of mass equal or greater than
30% of maximum capacity.

16
13.1. External Adjustment
External adjustment is carried out using external weight of class F1.
Procedure:
•
Enter <P1.CAL / 1.1.CA-E> submenu. Message <UnLoAd> (unload the weighing pan) is
displayed.
•
On unloading the weighing pan, press key.
•
Balance starts determining mass of an empty weighing pan. The process is signaled by
dashes <- >. Next, message <Load> (put weight) is displayed along with mass value to be
put onto weighing pan; e.g.. 200.000g (depending on balance type).
•
Put the weight of a given mass and press key.
•
Balance starts determining mass of a weight. The process is signaled by dashes <- >.
Next, message <UnLoad> (remove weight) is displayed.
•
On unloading the weighing pan, submenu <1.1.CA-E> is displayed.
13.2. User Adjustment
User adjustment is carried out using external weight of class F1.
Procedure:
•
Enter <P1.CAL / 1.2.CA-u> submenu. Message box for entering mass of a weight used for
user adjustment is displayed. Mass of the weight has to be equal or greater than 30% of
maximum capacity.
•
On entering and confirming the weight mass, message <UnLoAd>
(unload the weighing pan) is displayed.
•
On unloading the weighing pan, press key.
•
Balance starts determining mass of an empty weighing pan. The process is signaled by
dashes <- >. Next, message <Load> (put weight) is displayed along with declared mass
value to be put onto weighing pan; e.g.. 100.000g.
•
Put the weight of a given mass and press key.
•
Balance starts determining mass of a weight. The process is signaled by dashes <- >.
Next, message <UnLoad> (remove weight) is displayed.
•
On unloading the weighing pan submenu<1.2.CA-u> is displayed.
13.3. Adjustment Report
Adjustment report is automatically printed on a printer connected to the balance at the end of
each adjustment. Report content is to be declared in
<P6.1.CrEP> menu and described further down this user manual.
