Purpose

Calibration is the determination of any difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of a sample. Adjustment is the correction of this difference, or its reduction to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits.

Using Verified Balancess as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*: Before using your balance as a legal measuring instrument, internal calibration must be performed at the place of installation.

Features

Calibration/adjustment can be performed only when: – there is no load on the balance – the balance is tared – the internal signal is stable – for external calibration, the value displayed for the

calibration weight on the balance does not differ from the

nominal weight value by more than 2%

If these conditions are not met, an error message is

displayed “Err 02”.

You can use any of the following weight units in

calibration/adjustment:

CAL.Einh. - gramm, Kilogr. or Pound

(not for verified models)

To block calibration/adjustment: – Select Cal.-Adj.-blocked in the menu – Close the menu access switch on the back of the balance

External Calibration in Verified Balances

When the balance is used in legal metrology, external

calibration is blocked as follows: – The setting of the menu access switch is locked

(see “To block calibration/adjustment”) – The cap over the menu access switch is sealed

For details on generating an ISO/GLP-compliant printout of

calibration/adjustment results, see page 43.

Following calibration/adjustment, the application program

is cleared.

Internal Calibration/Adjustment

In the operating menu, select Cal.-Adj.-Cal.Int.

before beginning.

The built-in motorized calibration weight is applied and

removed automatically for internal calibration.

§ Select calibration/adjustment: Press (CAL) > The built-in weight is applied automatically > The balance is adjusted > The built-in calibration weight is removed.

Application Programs

Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*: All application programs can be selected on balances used as legal measuring instruments.

Calculated values are alternately indicated with the following symbols: – Percent = % – Piece count (Counting) = pcs – Computed value = o,

* On some models, the keypad overlay shows the German word “MENUE“ for MENU.

Display symbol: Z

Purpose

With the Counting program you can determine the number of parts that each have approximately equal weight. To do this, a known number of parts (the reference sample quantity) is weighed first, and the individual piece weight (reference weight) is calculated from this result. Thus the number of parts subsequently placed on the balance can be determined from their weight.

Purpose

Your balance comes equipped with an interface port for connection to a computer or other peripheral device. You can use a computer to change, start and/or monitor the functions of the balance and the application programs.

Preparation

You can set these parameters for other devices in the Setup menu (see the chapter entitled

“

Configuring the Balance”).

You will also find a detailed description of the available data interface commands in the file “Data Interface Descriptions for ATL Models

”

, which you can download from the Acculab website at www.acculab.com by selecting “

Download Instruction Manuals”from the “Service”menu.

The many and versatile properties of these balances can be fully utilized for printing out records of the results when you connect your balance to a Acculab data printer. The recording capability for printouts makes it easy for you to work in compliance with ISO/GLP.

Troubleshooting Guide

Care and Maintenance

Repairs

§ Repair work must be performed by trained service technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons to perform repairs may result in considerable hazards for the user. If the instrument requires repairs, please contact your Acculab dealer.

Cleaning

§ Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains supply). If you have an interface cable connected to the balance port, unplug it from the port.

!Make sure that no liquid enters the balance/scale housing.

!Do not aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents).

§ After cleaning, wipe down the balance with a soft, dry cloth.

On analytical balances remove and clean the weighing pan as follows:

§ Reach beneath the drip/breeze and lift it carefully, together with the pan support, to avoid damaging the weighing system.

!Make sure that no liquid enters the balance housing.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Remove the stainless steel weighing pan and thoroughly clean it separately. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean stainless steel parts on the balance. You can use any household cleaning agent that is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless steel surfaces only by wiping them down. Then rinse the equipment thoroughly, making sure to remove all residues. Afterwards, allow the equipment to dry. If desired, you can apply oil to the cleaned surfaces as additional protection.

Safety Inspection

If there is any indication that safe operation of the balance is no longer warranted:

§ Turn off the power and disconnect the equipment from AC power immediately.

> Lock the equipment in a secure place to ensure that it can-

not be used for the time being.

Notify your Acculab dealer. Repair work must be performed by trained service technicians.

We recommend having the power supply inspected by a certified electrician at regular intervals, according to the following checklist:

– Insulating resistance: > 7 megaohms measured with a

constant voltage of at least 500 volts at a 500 K-ohm load

– Leakage current: < 0.05 mA measured with a properly

calibrated multimeter

Information and Instructions on Disposal and Repairs Packaging that is no longer required must be disposed of at the local waste disposal facility. The packaging is made of environmentally friendly materials that can be used as secondary raw materials.

The equipment, including accessories and batteries, does not belong in your regular household waste. The EU legislation requires its Member States to collect electrical and electronic equipment and dis-

posed of it separately from other unsorted municipal waste with the aim of recycling it.

For disposal in Germany and in the other Member States of the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact our service technicians on location or your Acculab dealer.

In countries that are not members of the European Economic Area (EEA) or where no Acculab dealers are located, please contact your local authorities or a commercial disposal operator.

Prior to disposal and/or scrapping of the equipment, any batteries should be removed and disposed of in local collection boxes.

Equipment contaminated with hazardous materials (ABC contamination) will not be taken back; neither for repair or disposal.
