1 Technical data
2 Introduction
The laboratory analytical balance MAB 201 is designed to meet the needs of laboratories,
industry and commercial users and it offers very wide range of functions: weighing, parts
counting or density determination. Its a built-in standard weight and a precision automatic
loading device, our computer controlled mechanism with precise motors complete the loading
and unloading operation of the test weight. The result is an easy, fast and automatically working
mechanism to always get the best results.

Balance is equipped with precision temperature measurement circuit, the perception of
temperature changes to 0.01 degrees. If the environment temperature change more than 1.5
degrees, the balance will automatically start the calibration function, to keep the balance of the
degree of accuracy of measurement. In addition, if the last calibration is 3 hours ago, the balance
will start an automatic calibration to always keep good results.

• An integrated RS-232-interface enables you to automatically send the weighing data to PC
• Powered by the external 3 pin power cord.
2.1 Proper Use
The balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of material to be
weighed. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic” balance, i.e. the material to be weighed
is manually and carefully placed in the center of the weighing plate. As soon as a stable weighing
value is reached the weighing value can be read.
2.2 Improper Use
• Do not use the balance for dynamic weighing. In the event that small quantities are removed or
added to the material to be weighed, incorrect weighing results can be displayed due to the
“stability compensation” in the balance. (Example: Slowly draining fluids from a container on
the balance.)
• Do not leave permanent load on the weighing plate. This may damage the measuring system.
• Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the balance, minus a
possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided. Balance may be damage by this.
• Never operate the balance in explosive environment. The balance is not explosion protected.
• The structure of the balance may not be modified. This may lead to incorrect weighing results,
safety-related faults and destruction of the balance.

2.3 Control of inspection, measuring and test equipment
As part of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the balance and the available
adjusting weight must be checked regularly. The responsible user must define a suitable interval
as well as the nature and scope of this test.
3 Precautions
• Environmental conditions: only use indoor, check the detailed environment conditions for
temperature and humidity in the technical details above.
• Do not use the scale in any high temperature fluctuations and avoid strong airflows, vibrations
and dust. The balance could never get wet and make sure that the balance is not used in an
environment with extreme temperature and humidity.
• Do not use the balance in explosive conditions.
• Only use the extender cable, which with ground wire.
• If the power line cable is damaged, the appliance must be unplugged immediately and the
power line cable be replaced.
• Place the balance on a stable surface and set it horizontally with the help of the adjustable feet
and the spirit level.
• The electronic balance is a precision measuring instrument and must be handled with great care.
Violation of limit of weighing range or impact can cause permanent damage to the balance.
• The balance needs a warm up time for about 1 hour before using.
• Please do not use aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents), but a cloth dampened
with mild soap suds. Ensure that no liquid penetrates into the device and wipe with a dry soft
cloth.
• Do not overload the balance more than 20% of maximum load (Max). Do not press the pan with
a hand!
• By maintenance please notice the information in Chapter “Maintenance and Servicing”.
• If the balance seems not to operate properly, unplug it from the mains and do not use until
checked by authorized service.
• All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorized personnel only.
4 Transportation and Storage
4.1 cceptance check
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the appliance itself
when unpacking for possible visible damage.
4.2 Packing
• Keep all parts of the original packaging for a possibly required return
• Only use original packaging for returning.
• Prior to dispatch disconnect all cables and remove loose/mobile parts.
• Reattach possibly supplied transport securing devices.

7
• Secure all parts such as the glass wind screen, the weighing platform, power
unit etc. against shifting and damage.
5 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
5.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common
conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your
balance.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site:
 Major weighing deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced should electro-
magnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), static electricity accumulations
or instable power supply occur. Change location or remove source of interference.
• Place the balance on a firm, level surface;
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing next to a radiator or
in the direct sunlight;
• Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
• Avoid jarring during weighing;
• Protect the balance against high humidity, vapors and dust;
• Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time.
• Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may occur if a cold
appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. In this case, acclimatize the
disconnected appliance for ca. 4 hours at room temperature.
• Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container.
5.2 Unpacking / Installation
Carefully remove the balance from the packaging, remove plastic cover and setup balance at the
intended workstation.
1. Take the balance and supplied accessories (a feeder, pan elements) out of the box.
2. Place the balance on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows.
3. Level the balance with foot screws so that the air bubble in water-level is in the middle.
4. Plug the Powercord to the power socket at the back of the balance.
5. Connect the power cord to an AC220V ± 10% 50Hz ± 1Hz outlet.

5.3 Mains connection
Before connecting the mains power cord check if the printed voltage value is the same as the
local supply voltage.
Only use the original supplied mains power cord. Otherwise there is a risk that the Scale be
impaired.
5.4 Connection of peripheral devices
The balance may send data to a computer or a printer through RS232C port.
When cooperating with the balance, a computer should be equipped with a program which
enables processing data from the balance.
Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data interface,
always disconnect the balance from the power supply.
5.5 Initial Commissioning
In order to obtain exact results with the electronic balances, your balance must have reached
the operating temperature (warming up time 1 hour). During this warming up time the balance
must be connected to the power supply
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
Please read the information carefully in chap. “Adjustment”.
5.6 djustment
As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance
must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the
existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the balance has not already
been adjusted to the location in the factory). This adjustment process must be carried out for
the first commissioning, after each change of location as well as in case of fluctuating
environment temperature. To receive accurate measuring values it is also recommended to
adjust the balance periodically in weighing operation.
5.7 Calibration
5.7.1 Internal calibration:
When the balance display is “0” then press the “CAL” key.
The balance turns into the automatic internal calibration status and displays “CAL”, now the
internal weight loading and unloading device for automatic calibration will start their work.
After 30 seconds the display “0”, that means the calibration is finished. In the normal use, the
internal calibration should be used to calibrate the balance.
When there was no calibration within the last 3 hours the scale will calibrate itself.
5.7.2 Internal calibration:
External Calibration:
First you should get ready the standard weight for external calibration in the required OIML-
Tolerance (E2 for example). When the balance display is “0” press and hold the “CAL” key until
the display changes from "CAL-INT" to "CAL-E".

9
When you now release the "CAL" key the scale will display "C XXX" (XXX is the weight of the
standard weight. Example: display "C 200" should be put on the standard weight of 200g), put
on the calibration weights, after the weight of the calibration weight displayed and the stable
weight symbol "g" shows that means the calibration is complete. If press the "CAL" key shows
"C----F", the zero point is unstable, and the "TARE" key can be re pressed to show the return to
zero. Now press the "CAL" key again.
Adjustment with recommended adjustment weight (default setting) Weight value of the
required adjustment weight seeschap. 1 “Technical data”. Weights of different nominal values
may be used for adjustment but are not optimal for technical measuring.

6 Basic Operation
After new purchase of the balance or after a long storage, you have to calibrate the balance
before the first commissioning. Level the balance with the adjustable feet horizontal until the air
bubble in the level is in the center of the Level Indicator. Give the balance after changing the
location a warm-up time min. 1 hour before using. This time is necessary for the balance to
adapt to the eventual temperature.
6.1 [Power On/OFF]
Press the[On/OFF]button to turn on the balance. The display shows the message "ON". Then the
max. weighing range is displayed. The balance will carry out a self-test (F----1 to F----9). When
the "0.0000 g" in display appears, the balance is ready for operation.
Press the [On/OFF]button and keep it pressed, until the display shows the message “OFF”. The
balance will switch off then.

6.2 T RE
When the pan is empty and indication is different than zero press [TA E] key.
Weighing with tare: Place the weighing box and press the[TA E] button. After standstill control
the zero display appears. The weight of the container is now internally saved. Weigh the
material, the net weight will be indicated. The weight of the weighing container will be displayed
as a minus number after removing the weighing container. The tare weight is saved until it is
deleted. Remove the load from the balance and press the [TA E] button. The tare procedure can
be repeated as many times as necessary, for example with initial weighing of several
components for a mix (add-on weighing). The limit is reached when the total weighing range
capacity is full.
6.3 21C L - [calibration with external weight]
The balance has an external calibration function.
The adjustment procedures see chap. "External calibration”.
6.4 UNIT- [multifunctional key]
The [UNIT] - button is a multi-function button.
6.4.1 Weighing unit selection [weighing mode]
Under the weighing mode, use the UNIT key to choose weighing units: g (gram), ct (carat), ozt
(troy ounce), oz (ounce), GN (gran), dwt (pennyweight) and lb (pound).
1 g = 5 ct
= 0.032150747 ozt
= 0.035273962 oz
= 15.43235835 GN
= 0.643014931 dwt
= 0.0022046226 lb
6.5 Print function [print mode]
The balance can be connected via the RS232C interface directly to a printer or PC.
Press the “PRINT” key to send the weight to the output device.
6.6 Pieces counting function [counting mode]
Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part weight (i.e. reference).
Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The balance determines the
total weight and divides it by the number of parts, the so-called reference quantity (1, 10, 20, 50,
or 100). Counting is then carried out on the basis of the calculated average piece weight.
As a rule: The higher the reference quantity the higher the counting exactness.
Follow these steps:
a) Place as many pieces to add-up as required by the reference quantity. Press the “COUNT” key,
display “1” that means into the counting mode, Press the [UNIT] button to enter the setting
