3. PRECAUTIONS

To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weight data, note the

following:

3-1 Before Use

 Install the balance in an environment where the

temperature and humidity are not excessive. The best operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50% relative humidity.

 Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct

sunlight and it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners.

 Install the balance where it is free of dust.

 Install the balance away from equipment which

produces magnetic fields.

 Install the balance in a stable place avoiding vibration

and shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor are best, as they are less prone to vibration.

 The weighing table should be solid and free from

vibration, drafts and as level as possible.

 Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and

confirm it using the bubble spirit level.

 Ensure a stable power source when using the AC

adapter.

 Plug in the AC adapter and warm up the balance for at

least 30 minutes.

 Calibrate the balance before use or after having

moved it to another location.

Caution

Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.

3-2 During Use

 Discharge static electricity from the material to be

weighed (hereinafter referred to as the sample). When

a sample could have a static charge, the weight data is

influenced. Ground the balance and try the following:

Eliminate static electricity using the optional

AD-1683 DC static eliminator. Try to keep the ambient humidity above 45%RH. Use a metal shield case for a charged sample. Wipe charged plastic samples with a moistened

cloth.

 This balance uses a strong magnet as part of the

balance assembly, so please use caution when weighing magnetic materials such as iron. If there is a problem, use the underhook on the bottom of the balance to suspend the material away from the influence of the magnet.

 Eliminate the temperature difference between a sample and the environment. When a sample

is warmer (cooler) than the ambient temperature, the sample will be lighter (heavier) than the true weight. This error is due to a rising (falling) draft around the sample.

 Make each weighing gently and quickly to avoid errors caused by the evaporation of moisture

from the sample or the absorption of moisture by the sample.

 Do not drop things upon the weighing pan, or place a sample on the pan that is beyond the

balance weighing capacity. Place a sample in the center of the weighing pan.

 Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil to press the keys. Use your finger only.

 Press the RE-ZERO key before each weighing to eliminate possible errors.

 Calibrate the balance periodically so as to eliminate possible errors.

 Take into consideration the affect of air buoyancy on a sample when more accuracy is

required.

 Keep the balance interior free of dust and foreign materials.

 The breeze break (The FZ-i series (all) and FX-120i /200i /300i (only)) is provided as an

accessory. An anti-static treatment has been applied to the breeze break components, but they may be charged with static electricity when they are unpacked or when the humidity is low. If the weight value is unstable even when there are no drafts or the balance has a problem with repeatability, remove the breeze break. Or wipe the clear plates with a moistened cloth, use the optional AD-1683 DC static eliminator or apply an anti-static spray.

3-3 After Use

 Avoid mechanical shock to the balance.

 Do not disassemble the balance. Contact the local A&D dealer if the balance needs service or

repair.

 Do not use organic solvents to clean the balance. Clean the balance with a lint free cloth that

is moistened with warm water and a mild detergent.

 The edge of the weighing pan is sharp. Use much care when cleaning the pan.

 Avoid dust and water so that the balance weighs correctly. Protect the internal parts from liquid

spills and excessive dust.

3-4 Power Supply

 When the AC adapter is connected, the balance is in the standby mode if the standby

indicator is on (refer to “3-5 Display Symbols and Key Operation”). This is a normal state and does not harm the balance. For accurate weighing, warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes before use.

3-5 Display Symbols and Key Operation

Even in the storing mode, pressing the MODE key will

switch to the next mode.

3 To select the number of samples, press the SAMPLE key

several times. It may be set to 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Note A greater number of samples will yield more accurate counting result.

4 Place a container on the weighing pan, if necessary.

Press the RE-ZERO key to cancel the weight (tare). The number specified in step 3 appears.

e.g.: 25 0 is displayed if 25 is selected in step 3.

5 Place the number of samples specified on the pan. In this

example, 25 pieces.

6 Wait for the stabilization indicator to come on. Press the

PRINT key to calculate and store the unit mass. The balance displays 25 count samples with this unit mass. (The sample unit mass stored, even if the AC adapter is removed, is maintained in non-volatile memory.)

To improve the accuracy of the unit mass, proceed to

step 8.

Notes If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light and is not adequate to be used as the unit mass, it displays lo . In that case, store the mass by some quantity. For example, when the model with the minimum weighing value of 0.01 g is used and 10 pieces of samples weigh 0.05 g. Store 100 pieces of samples as 10 and multiply the weighing result by 10.

While the stabilization indicator is on, pressing the PRINT key will output the weight value, using the RS-232C serial interface.

Note Peripheral equipment, that is sold separately , such as a printer or a personal computer is required.

Counting mode using the ACAI function

The ACAI is a function that improves the accuracy of the unit mass automatically by increasing the number of samples and averaging the unit mass variable to minimize the weighing error, as the counting process proceeds.

8 If a few more samples are added, the processing indicator turns on. To prevent an error, add

three or more. The processing indicator does not turn on if overloaded. Try to add the same number of samples as displayed.

9 The balance re-calculates the unit mass while the processing indicator is blinking. Do not

touch the balance or samples on the pan until the processing indicator turns off.

10 Counting accuracy is improved when the processing indicator turns off.

Each time the above operation is performed, a more accurate unit mass will be obtained.

There is no definite upper limit of ACAI range for the number of samples exceeding 100. Try to add the same number of samples as displayed.

11 Remove all the samples used in ACAI and proceed with the counting operation using the

improved unit mass.

5-3 Percent Mode (%)
